pancreas-graft immunogenicity and pretreatment with anti-class ii monoclonal antibodies.pretreatment of organ allografts to reduce graft immunogenicity is an attractive and potentially clinically applicable concept. we have studied the effect of perfusing rat pancreases with anti-class ii monoclonal antibody (moab), to remove class ii- positive accessory cells from the intact organ, on prolongation of allograft survival after transplantation. the capacity of pancreatic islets obtained from these perfused organs to stimulate proliferation of allogeneic t-lymphocytes was studied in a ...19892642828
bromodeoxyuridine uptake in the assessment of hyperthermic therapy for intraocular tumor.assessment of uveal melanoma response after many nonenucleation therapies is difficult with current modalities, since tumor regression is usually delayed. the goal of most treatments, including ionizing radiation or radiation and adjunct hyperthermia, is to destroy the reproductive capacity of the tumor. cell cycling analysis with bromodeoxyuridine, a thymidine analogue only incorporated during dna synthesis, was a useful indication of tumor control after hyperthermia was used to treat a greene ...19892719590
[antidiuretic mechanism in rhodnius prolixus (stal, 1859) (hemiptera, reduviidae)].an antidiuretic mechanism is proposed for rhodnius prolixus, whose activity is manifested when the diuretic phase has terminated and is maintained until the insect has fed again. presumably this mechanism acts at the level of the proximal rectal sphincter and is inhibited by ingestion, mechanical distension of the gut and central disinhibition by decapitation. it is suggested that the antidiuretic activity is maintained by the nervous system and is modified when there is distention of the gut or ...19863302595
reduced human peritoneal plasminogen activating activity: possible mechanism of adhesion formation.a unifying pathophysiological hypothesis states that the plasminogen activating activity (paa) of the peritoneal mesothelium determines whether the fibrin which forms after peritoneal injury is either lysed or organized into permanent fibrous adhesions. the paa of human peritoneal biopsies was measured using a fibrin plate lysis technique to assess the changes that occur in inflammation and ischaemia, conditions which both produce fibrous adhesions. activity was found in all biopsies from normal ...19892720348
influence of low-temperature storage and glucose starvation on growth recovery in escherichia coli rela and rela+ strains.to study the influence of microgravity on bacterial growth behavior during a space mission, the special experimental conditions and the hardware environment necessitate storage of cells at low temperature, and permit a relatively short experimental period. before this experimental period, cells have to recover their condition of steady-state growth, because it is only in this condition that the growth behavior of the flight and ground populations can be adequately compared. to meet these require ...19911367237

in vivo studies on halogen compound interactions. iii. effect of carbon tetrachloride plus 1,2-dichloroethane on liver necrosis and fatty accumulation.the effect of a single dose of carbon tetrachloride (ct), 1,2-dichloroethane (dce) and the mixture on liver toxicity was investigated. the co-presence of both toxins exerts a more than additive effect on liver necrosis and on tba-reactive substances produced by liver homogenates incubated at 37 degrees c. both these effects are prevented in animals treated with vitamin e. the liver gsh is not involved in the synergistic action. the liver triglyceride levels of rats treated with the mixture are l ...19921636056
auditory and visual neurons in the cat's superior colliculus selective for the direction of apparent motion stimuli.in the cat, cells of the superior colliculus (sc) and the tectofugal pathways of the visual system are highly selective for the direction of a moving visual stimulus. deep layer units of sc in addition respond to auditory and somatosensory stimuli, but the proportion of such non-visual cells is usually found to be much lower than that of visual cells. we recorded the responses of 174 cells in the sc to sequentially presented, localized visual and/or auditory stimuli that produced the sensation o ...19892758330
biochemical and functional characterization of the rat liver glucose-transport system. comparisons with the adipocyte glucose-transport system.the properties of the glucose-transport systems in rat adipocytes and hepatocytes were compared in cells prepared from the same animals. hormones and other agents which cause a large stimulation of 3-o-methylglucose transport in adipocytes were without acute effect in hepatocytes. hepatocytes displayed a lower affinity for 3-o-methylglucose (20 mm) and alternative substrates than adipocytes (6 mm), whereas inhibitor affinities were similar in both cell types. the concentration and distribution o ...19863548706
induction of experimental autoimmune thyroiditis in b cell-depleted mice.the effect of b cell depletion on the induction and severity of murine experimental autoimmune thyroiditis was investigated. thirteen cba mice were given repeated intraperitoneal doses of 700 micrograms purified rabbit anti-mouse ig antibody from 24 hours to 8 weeks after birth. controls were given normal rabbit igg (14 mice) or were left uninjected (10 mice). at six weeks all mice received two doses of 70 micrograms murine thyroid extract in complete freund's adjuvant. only 2/13 of the anti-ig ...19892785490
growth and morphogenesis of mouse prostate epithelial cells in collagen gel matrix culture.epithelial cells were isolated from the ventral prostate gland of the mouse after prolonged incubation in a mixture of collagenase, dispase and hyaluronidase followed by extensive pipetting. the isolated epithelial cells were then embedded in collagen gels. after cultivation in dulbecco's modified eagle's medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum, epidermal growth factor, 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone and cortisol, stimulation of growth and branching morphogenesis of the epithelial cells were ob ...19892788523
pyrimidinone (bropirimine) mediated alteration of t lymphocyte subsets during murine cytomegalovirus infection.murine cytomegalovirus (mcmv) infection of mice resulted in suppression of mitogen induced proliferation and interleukin 2 (il-2) responses of splenic cells. this suppression was also evident as a reduction in the number of cells expressing thy-1 or l3t4 and a reduction in the ratio of t helper/t suppressor cells. the pyrimidinone compound, bropirimine, when administered to mcmv infected mice was able to restore mitogen-induced proliferative and il-2 responses of splenic cells, to increase the n ...19872820635

degradation of aflatoxin by aspergillus flavus.aflatoxin degradative activity was demonstrated in 6- to 12-d-old intact mycelium and cell-free extracts of aspergillus flavus. the addition of cycloheximide, skf 525-a or metyrapone to cultures of a. flavus prevented subsequent degradation of the aflatoxins, while in cell-free extracts degradation was inhibited by skf 525-a, metyrapone and cytochrome c but not by kcn. in cell-free extracts, aflatoxin degradation was enhanced by nadph and naio4. the results suggest the involvement of cytochrome ...19872832516
tracazolate metabolites in rat tissue.tracazolate (4-n-butylamino-1-ethyl-6-methyl-1h-pyrazolo[3,4-b] pyridine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester) undergoes extensive biotransformation to lipophilic metabolites following oral dosage to male rats. twenty-one metabolites were identified in a plasma hexane extract by mass spectrometry. coadministration of unlabeled tracazolate with its stable carbon-13 isotope expedited the isolation and identification of 11 biotransformation products. the various metabolites resulted from either hydrolysis ...19852859159

[the disseminated endocrine system of man. a contribution of pathology].the disseminated (or diffuse) endocrine system is composed of many single cells and small groups of cells disseminated in the whole organism, capable of producing biogenic amines and polypeptide hormones. they are also called apud cells and were first detected in the mucosa of the intestinal tract, where they occur in highest concentration. carcinoids are tumors of disseminated endocrine cells which sometime retain their hormone-producing capacity. these hormones are key factors in the control o ...19872891187
properties of the deoxycholate-solubilized hela cell plasma membrane receptor for binding group b coxsackieviruses.physical and chemical properties of deoxycholate-solubilized hela cell plasma membrane receptors for binding group b coxsackieviruses were determined. receptors eluted from sepharose 4b with an apparent molecular weight of 275,000 and sedimented with an s value of between 14.7 and 4.9 and a buoyant density of 1.06 to 1.10 g/cm3. virus-binding activity was destroyed after treatment with proteases, glycosidases, and periodate but was unaffected by lipases or reducing or alkylating agents. addition ...19852983096
