investigations on adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase in ram semen and initial characterization of a sperm-specific isoenzyme.phosphodiesterase is shown to occur in ram semen, and its activity to be higher in spermatozoa than in seminal plasma. using similar substrate levels, the rate at which adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic amp) is metabolized by phosphodiesterase in spermatozoa is about 100 times higher than that of cyclic amp synthesis by adenylate cyclase. in spermatozoa, phosphodiesterase is present partly in a soluble form, and partly bound; both forms can be extracted by sonication. the soluble enzyme (ph ...1976178869
disseminated herpesvirus infection. association with primary genital herpes in pregnancy.a patient with primary herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 2 genital infection had dissemination in the 37th week of her first pregnancy. this was manifested by severe hepatitis, pancreatitis, and genital lesions. temporary improvement followed the delivery of a healthy infant by cesarean section. encephalitis became evident on the third postpartum day, and recovery was complicated by profound bradycardia, possibly due to viral myocarditis. vidarabine was administered for seven days, and the patient ...1976178938

the storage lipids in tangier disease. a physical chemical study.the physical states and phase behavior of the lipids of the spleen, liver, and splenic artery from a 38-yr-old man with tangier disease were studied. many intracellular lipid droplets in the smectic liquid crystalline state were identified by polarizing microscopy in macrophages in both the spleen and liver, but not in the splenic artery. the droplets within individual cells melted sharply over a narrow temperature range, indicating a uniform lipid composition of the droplets of each cell. howev ...1977193870
[enzymomorphology of the vaccinal process in connection with formation of immunity to plague].the studies conducted showed that the beginning of immunogenesis following the administration of live plague vaccine was preceded by a period of primary toxic action of multiplying microbes when the activity of a number of enzymes in the organs of guinea-pigs was temporarily reduced. subsequently, inductive and productive phases of formation of antibodies started against the background of normalization and growth of the enzymatic activity associated with mobilization of energy. the earliest hype ...1976194554
beta-adrenergic blocking activity of yersinia pestis murine toxin.yersinia pestis plague murine toxin has been found to inhibit the mobilization of free fatty acids in mice in a manner similar to that of beta-adrenergic blocking agents. the blockage is detectable 75 min after injection of the toxin (1 to 2 mean lethal doses). the degree of inhibition was directly correlated with the toxicity of a given toxin preparation. agents such as cholera toxin or glucagon, with apparently distinct receptors from beta-adrenergic receptors, stimulated adenylate cyclase and ...1977198377
mitogenic response of mouse spleen cells and gelation of limulus lysate by lipopolysaccharide of yersinia pestis and evidence for neutralization of lipopolysaccharide by polymyxin b.lipopolysaccharide (lps) extracted with phenol and water from yersinia pestis was compared with lps of escherichia coli for stimulation of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in mouse spleen cells (lymphocyte mitogenesis), gelation of limulus lysate, pyrogenicity in the rabbit, and susceptibility to inhibition of these activities by polymyxin b sulfate (pbs). lps of y. pestis stimulated deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in mouse spleen cell cultures over the same quantitative range as lps of e. coli. ...1977200563
[migration of transformed fibroblast-like cells on substrates with patterned relief-work (quantitative study)].the quantitative estimation of migration ability of transformed fibroblast-like cells of various epecies (mouse , rat, hamster, man) cultured on the substratum with grooves of various depth (5--40 mcm) was performed. of the majority of 11 cell lines examined, a reduced migration capacity up to its total disappeanance was registered as compared with the homological normal embryonic cells. a more pronounced reduction of migration ability was shown in mouse and rat transformed cells and less in hu ...1977201058
cell culture propagation of porcine rotavirus (reovirus-like agent).two isolates of porcine rotavirus (reovirus-like agent) were isolated and passaged in primary procine kidney cell cultures. viral infectivity for cells was monitored by immunofluorescence because viral cytopathic effect was moderate. successful passage of virus in cell culture required that viral suspensions obtained from infected cell cultures be treated with pancreatin prior to inoculation onto cell monolayers. porcine rotavirus passage in cell culture also was accomplished, using trypsin trea ...1977201198

alterations in the expression of the cytomegalovirus-induced cytopathogenic effect in fibroblasts by aflatoxin b1.aflatoxin b1 has been shown both to promote and to alter the expression of the cytopathogenic effect observed when human fibroblasts are challenged with human cytomegalovirus (cmv). although the cells become round, as is the characteristic effect of this virus on fibroblasts, multinucleate cells are seen to arise from cell fusion within 48 h after virus addition.1978218602
[blood transfusion and viral diseases. recent acquisitions concerning viral hepatitis viruses, cytomegaloviruses and epstein-barr virus].in recent years, an increasingly clear picture has been formed of the virus-induced syndromes that may follow a blood transfusion or the use of blood derivatives. up to about 10 years ago, post-infusion infection was predominantly due to serum hepatitis. blumberg's discovery of hbsag (formerly known as australia antigen) has made it possible to check and prevent viral hepatitis, type b, and to recognise such distinct forms as the mononucleosis-like syndrome caused by cytomegalic virus, infectiou ...1979219399

cellular immune response to yersinia pestis modulated by product(s) from thymus-derived lymphocytes.resistance to infection with yersinia pestis was found to depend on whether the macrophage can inactivate and withstand the cytotoxic effects of phagocytized y. pestis. serum from mice immunized with antigens of y. pestis enhanced the resistance of monolayers of normal cultures to the cytotoxic effects of y. pestis and increased the capacity of peritoneal exudate cells from immune mice to inactivate these bacteria. the enhancing component of the serum was not removed by absorption with heat-kill ...1977299867
the serological response to yersinia pestis infection.passive haemagglutination antibody titres to fraction i antigen of yersinia pestis were plotted against day of clinical illness in 82 patients in viet nam. a rise was evident by day 5 with a peak at day 14, after which a plateau occurred. in contrast to all other patients, 2 patients with recurrent infections had elevated titres at the time of admission which decreased significantly during convalescence.1977302154
[ring of the chromosome 4. ii. without facial dysmorphism].a r(4) was observed in a 5-year-old female patient, with growth retardation, a near normal psychomotor development and with no major dysmorphism. the break points were in p16 and q33. after comparison with other known observations of r(4) it is suggested that the phenotype of monosomy 4p is due to monosomy for the distal band 4p16.1977302682
partial tetrasomy 9(9pter to 9q2101) due to an extra iso-dicentric chromosome.a 3-year-old boy with partial no. 9 tetrasomy is described. the patient showed markedly retarded physical and mental development as well as multiple congenital anomalies. routine chromosome analysis revealed an extra c-group chromosome. it had a pronounced secondary constriction at the proximal part of its long arm. based on studies by a variety of banding techniques, the extra chromosome was identified to be an iso-dicentric no. 9 chromosome with inactivation of one of the two centromeres, the ...1977302683

[enzymatic inactivation of levomycetin and penicillin by cells of the plague and pseudotuberculosis microbes that contain r plasmid depending on cultivation conditions].the activity of enzymes, inactivating levomycetin and penicillin in the cells of plague and pseudotuberculosis microbes bearing extrachromosomal determinants resistant to a number of antibiotics was studied as dependent on some cultivation parameters: population age, aeration rate and temperature. it was shown that the highest capacity for levomycetin acetylation was characteristic of the cells in the late logarithmic and early stationary growth phages. accumulation of levomycetin o-acetothers i ...1978350142

cloning of chemically synthesized lactose operators. ii. ecori-linkered operators.a 40 base, mainly duplex dna segment, with the following sequence paattccacatgtggaattgtgagcggataacaatttgtt (3') ggtgtacaccttaacactcgcctattgttaaacaccttaap (5') has been synthesized by combination of chemical and enzymatic methods. it consists of a wild-type lactose operator sequence (boxed) bracketed by "linker" sequences which permit excision of the segment from plasmid vehicles by the ecori restriction endonuclease. this segment has been ligated into the pmb9 plasmid and the resulting operator ...1978357249
guinea pig homologues of tl and qa-2 antigens.the h-2, thymus-leukemia (tl), and qa-2 antigens of mice are encoded by closely linked genes on murine chromosome 17, and have structural similiarity in that each antigen is borne on a approximately 44,000 dalton molecule associated with beta2 microglobulin (beta2mu). the extensive homology of major histocompatibility complex (mhc) products that exists for the mouse and guinea pig suggested that a similar homology might exist for products of genetic regions closely linked to the mhc. by taking a ...1978357657
high-resolution 13c nuclear magnetic resonance studies of glucose metabolism in escherichia coli.high-resolution 13c nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of suspensions of escherichia coli cells have been obtained at 90.5 mhz by using the fourier transform mode. anaerobic cells incubated with [i-13c]glucose show a time course of glycolysis in which the alpha and beta glucose anomers disappear at different rates, lactate, succinate, acetate, alanine, and valine accumulate as end products of glycolysis, and fructose bisphosphate appears as an intermediate. it is shown that fructose bisphosphate ...1978358201
pesticin-dependent generation of somotically stable spheroplast-like structures.homogenous pesticin, a bacteriocin produced by yersinia pestis, promoted rapid dose-dependent killing of escherichia coli phi but permitted residual generation of cell mass. both growing cells and those blocked in net synthesis of nucleic acids or protein were converted by pesticin to osmotically stable spheroplast-like forms. morphology and viability of cells starved for fermentable carbohydrate were not affected by pesticin. similar spheroplast-like structures were formed from sensitive cells ...1978361722
[a new influenza subunit vaccine: hemagglutinating antibodies one year after vaccination (author's transl)].the antibody response to a new influenza subunit vaccine was compare d one year after vaccination with the responses induced by two other influenza vaccines. the subunit vaccine was given either in a high dose form containing 2100 iu, or in a low dose form containing 700 iu. as comparison a split vaccine was used containing 800 iu and ai(oh)3 as adjuvant and a whole virus vaccine containing 2100 iu. of the 399 vaccinated subjects which had taken part in this study 151 were available for hemagglu ...1978365774

[phage typing of rough e. coli strains isolated from urine (author's transl)].a differentiation of e. coli rough strains is generally not well established in bacteriological urine diagnosis although these strains are relatively often isolated from urine samples of patients with urinary tract infections (see table 2). an exact characterization of rough strains seems to be necessary especially for the distinction between recurrent and reinfection during therapy and follow-up studies. the application of phage typing for characterization of e. coli rough strains isolated from ...1978373321
