mucosal induction of systemic t cell tolerance by fusobacterium nucleatum.	the present study was undertaken to determine if mucosal presentation of the periodontopathic bacterium fusobacterium nucleatum could induce systemic tolerance. two separate protocols of mucosal priming were carried out. in the first, mice were gastrically intubated on 2 consecutive days; this was repeated 5 days later. in the second protocol, mice were similarly primed but received another priming dose after a further 7 days. positive control mice were similarly primed with sheep red blood cell ...	1986	3488389
extensive proliferation of mature connective-tissue type mast cells in vitro.	there are two phenotypically distinct subpopulations of mast cells in rodents: connective tissue-type mast cells (ctmc) and mucosal mast cells (mmc). these populations differ in their location, cell size, staining characteristics, ultrastructure, mediator content and t-cell dependency. several investigators recently reported a further subclass of mast cells which arise when normal mouse haematopoietic cells are cultured with interleukin-3 (il-3); il-3 is an activity similar or identical to mast- ...	1986	3491321
x-ray scattering and diffraction by wet gels of aa amyloid fibrils.	systemic amyloidosis is characterized by the extracellular accumulation of protein fibrils with typical ultrastructural morphology. the persistence in vivo of amyloid fibrils, which is responsible for their serious clinical effects, has been thought to reflect the particular, specific conformation of peptide chains constituting the fibrils. on the basis of earlier structural studies this conformation is generally considered to be almost exclusively anti-parallel beta-sheets. we have re-examined ...	1986	3561252

effect of hypothermia on intestinal adaptation and carcinogenesis in the rat.	postoperative hyperplasia enhances experimental intestinal carcinogenesis, but the effects of nonsurgical adaptation are uncertain. the tropic and tumour-promoting potentials of moderate hypothermia were tested in two groups of male sprague-dawley rats housed at 10 degrees c for 30 weeks. one group (n = 10) received a 6-week course of azoxymethane (total dose 90 mg kg-1). the second group (n = 7) acted as hypothermic controls. another 2 groups maintained at 22 degrees c received azoxymethane (n ...	1987	3567060
abnormal calcium handling by platelets in thrombotic disorders.	this study presents a quantitative comparison of the free cytoplasmic calcium concentration ([ca2+]cyt) and the free concentration in the lumen of the dense tubules of the human platelet. the former was measured by the fluorescence of the high affinity indicator quin2 and latter by the fluorescence of chlorotetracycline (ctc). the ctc technique monitors calcium-ctc complex accumulation in the lumen of dense tubules and mitochondria when washed platelets were incubated in 2 mm ca2+. resting cytop ...	1987	3581444
bacteria-phagocyte interactions: fusobacterium-induced secretion of a neutrophil self-regulatory factor.	direct interaction between fusobacterium nucleatum and human neutrophils resulted in the secretion of a neutrophil self-regulatory factor(s). the secretion of this factor was bacteria specific, and depended on the integrity of the bacteria cell surface. factor secretion occurred within 15 min of bacteria--neutrophil interaction. pre-treatment of neutrophils with cytochalasin b but not sodium fluoride inhibited factor secretion. the factor was sensitive to trypsin and heat treatment. ultrafiltrat ...	1987	3583320
enrichment of subgingival microflora on human serum leading to accumulation of bacteroides species, peptostreptococci and fusobacteria.	this study was undertaken to identify ecological factors that favour opportunistic pathogenic species in the subgingival microflora. in a first approach, human serum as a substitute for gingival exudate, was used for batch-wise enrichment of subgingival plaque. the microflora resulting after 5-6 enrichment steps consisted of black-pigmented and non-black-pigmented bacteroides species, peptostreptococcus micros and fusobacterium nucleatum as the main organisms. it is noted that the same group of ...	1987	3674857
direct modulation of human neutrophil adherence by coaggregating periodontopathic bacteria.	direct interaction between fusobacterium nucleatum and pmns produced consistent enhancement of pmn adherence. in contrast, consistent suppression of pmn adherence was observed after direct interactions between pmns and bacteroides gingivalis or actinomyces viscosus. the modulatory effects of these periodontopathic bacteria on pmn function could be seen as early as 2 min after interaction. the effects were abrogated by alterations of bacterial structural integrity with heat, formalin or ultrasoni ...	1987	3583410
