immune mechanism in pasteurella multocida-infected mice.	various immunizing procedures were tested for their effect on the growth of pasteurella multocida in specific pathogen-free cd-1 mice. two injections with killed vaccine incorporated into freund complete adjuvant gave excellent protection against parenteral challenge, but less to control the growth of an aerogenic inoculum. protection with adjuvant-treated preparation was always superior to that seen with non-adjuvant-treated vaccines. a killed saline-suspended vaccine introduced aerogenically m ...	1976	131783
use of freund's adjuvant arthritis test in anti-flammatory drug screening in the rat: value of animal selection and preparation at the breeding center.	the freund's adjuvant technic, using killed mycobacterium butyricum suspended in mineral oil, is a refined tool for anti-inflammatory drug evaluation. its use has long been reserved for testing and not for screening due to technical problems in the preparation of valid animal models. after reviewing the methodology, the authors demonstrated that the availability of arthritic rats from a modern breeding center (charles river france, sa, elbeuf, france) make the procedure applicable to drug screen ...	1976	131876

multiple forms of cytochrome b in mycobacterium phlei: kinetics of reduction.	the kinetics of reduction of the b-type cytochromes in the electron transport particles (etp) from mycobacterium phlei were studied with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form (nadh) or succinate as electron donors. there appeared to be three active cytochromes b in the etp,bs563 and bs559, which were reducible by either substrate, and bn563, which was reducible by nadh but not by succinate. in the presence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a substantial increase in b563 reduction was obser ...	1975	166977
biosynthesis and structure of glycosyl diglycerides, steryl glucosides, and acylated steryl glucosides.	a particulate enzyme fraction from mycobacterim smegmatis catalyzed the transfer of -14c-glucose from the udp--14c-glucose into neutral glycolipids. the two major radioactive components were purified by column chromatography on o-diethylamino ethyl cellulose (acetate) and thin layer chromatography on silica gel in several solvents. the first product yielded a water-soluble component upon saponification, which had a hexoseglycerol ratio of 1:1 with all of the hexose being identified as glucose. ...	1975	167261

effect of immunization with attenuated mycobacterium bovis (bcg) on experimental herpetic keratitis.	mycobacterium bovis (bcg, pasteur strain) was injected intraperitoneally into guinea pigs and rabbits on the 19th and 5th days prior to the intracorneal inoculation of herpesvirus hominis. during a three-day and nine-day observation period, respectively, the bcg had no significant effect on the clinical course of the herpetic keratitis and no effect on the titer of virus present in the infected corneas.	1975	167922
streptovirudins, new antibiotics with antibacterial and antiviral activity. i. culture taxonomy, fermentation and production of streptovirudin complex.	a new antibiotic complex has been isolated from cultures of streptomyces strain no. ja 10124. on the basis of taxonomic studies, the producing microorganism is described as streptomyces griseoflavus (krainsky, 1914) waksman et henrici, 1948, subsp. thuringiensis subsp. nov., type strain ja 10124. the antibiotic complex, designated as streptovirudin, was isolated from extracts of both mycelium and culture filtrate. it is a white amorphous material which consists of ten closely related components ...	1975	168173

effect of bcg on dimethylhydrazine induction of colon tumors in rats.	the effect of bcg injection into the colon wall on the induction of colon tumors by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (dmh) was assessed in male rats. persistent, generalized bcg infection followed the intracolonic injection of 6.7 times 10(6) organisms in otherwise untreated rats. in rats given dmh (30 mg/kg/wk) intragastrically for 5 weeks and then infected with bcg, colon tumors developed at the same rate and in the same incidence as in uninfected rats, but more tumors were mucinous adeno ...	1975	169375
methanol extraction residue of bcg in the treatment of transplanted rat tumours.	subcutaneous growth of immunogenic chemically induced rat sarcomata and a hepatoma was restricted when cells were injected into syngeneic animals in admixture with mer. rats rejecting mixed inocula were immune to further challenge with the same tumour. growth of a chemically induced mammary carcinoma which lacks detectable immunogenicity was suppressed when low cell inocula were injected in admixture with mer or intact bcg organisms, although animals were not immune to re-challenge. these studie ...	1975	169861
oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide by particles from mycobacterium lepraemurium.	particles from mycobacterium lepraemurium catalysed the oxidation of nadh with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. the preparations contained cytochromes of the a + a3'b and c types, as well as co-binding pigments. the nadh oxidase activity was sensitive to inhibitors of the flavoprotein system as well as to hqno and antimycin a. in addition, a cytochrome oxidase sensitive to cyanide was also present. the system was inhibited by the thiol-binding agent, pcmb, and thus indicated the involve ...	1975	170040
differential stimulation of murine lymphoma growth in vitro by normal and bcg-activated macrophages.	peritoneal macrophages from mice infected with bacille calmette-guérin (bcg) and from normal mice were examined for their effects in vitro on thymidine uptake by 10 murine lymphomas, a murine fibroblast line, and a guinea pig hepatoma. only the murine fibroblast line showed growth inhibition in the presence of bcg macrophages. for the majority of tumors, normal macrophages were profoundly stimulatory to tumor cell dna synthesis, while bcg macrophages were much less stimulatory, without being fra ...	1975	170358
effect of oil-attached bcg cell wall on the kinetics of lymphocytes in the tumor-draining node.	the lymphocyte distribution into the tumor-draining node was studied with ah-130 hepatoma cells and donryu strain rats in relation to the adjuvant activity of the oil-attached bcg whole cell wall. the mixed inoculation of the oil-attached bcg cell wall with tumor cells resulted initially in further augmentation of increased distribution of 51cr-labeled lymphocytes into the draining-node induced by inoculation of the tumor cells alone, and secondarily in the systemic stimulation of response of th ...	1975	171193
