collaborative study of a screening method for the detection of aflatoxins in mixed feeds, other agricultural products, and foods.a screening method for aflatoxins was collaboratively tested on 11 different agricultural and food products: white and yellow corn, peanuts, peanut butter, pistachio nuts, peanut meal, cottonseed meal, chicken, pig, and turkey starter rations, and dairy cattle feed. the method involves a rapid extraction and cleanup procedure followed by the detection of total aflatoxins (b1 + b2 + g1 + g2) as a fluorescent band on the florisil layer of a velasco-type minicolumn. the results of 32 collaborators ...19761249021
age related ca-mg content and strength in turkey tendon.the age related variation in magnesium and calcium content and mechanical properties of turkey tendon from ages 9-14 weeks has been studied. the results show that magnesium content decreases with age during this period and calcium content remains essentially constant. this is in accord with a previously proposed mechanism of calcification, namely, that the local concentration of magnesium and calcium may be an important factor relating to the initiation of calcification in a given tissue. the te ...19761252970

beta-adrenergic receptor interactions. characterization of iodohydroxybenzylpindolol as a specific ligand.hydroxybenzylpindolol (hyp) is a specific and highly potent beta-adrenergic antagonist. monoiodination of hyp produces an equally high affinity inhibitor of binding to and activation of the beta receptor-coupled adenylate cyclase in turkey erythrocyte membranes. monoiodohydroxybenzylpindolol was isolated by high pressure liquid chromatography. mass spectroscopy showed that the iodine was contained in the phenolic moiety of the molecule. 125i-hyp was purified in tracer amounts by ion exchange chr ...19761254565
beta-adrenergic receptor interactions. direct comparison of receptor interaction and biological activity.iodohydroxybenzylpindolol (i-hyp) is a chemically defined, high affinity, high specific activity beta-adrenergic antagonist that interacts with a single site on the turkey erythrocyte membrane. study of the interaction of agonists, antagonists, and congeners with this site and concomitant alterations in adenylate cyclase activity have been carried out in the presence of high or low concentrations of guanine nucleotide. the results help clarify the relationship between binding and activation or i ...19761254566

recovery of 61 salmonella serotypes from artificially contaminated turkey skin.selenite brilliant-green sulfa enrichment broth containing tween 80 was streaked to brilliant-green sulfa plates for use in comparing recoverability of 61 different salmonella serotypes from turkey tails artifically contaminated with very low levels of each serotype. recoverability was 100% with 43 of the serotypes, 80% with eight, 60% with four, and 40% or less with six.19761259660
focal hepatic necrosis in turkeys with hemorrhagic enteritis.disseminated acute focal hepatic coagulation necrosis was present in 9 turkeys submitted from 5 outbreaks of hemorrhagic enteritis. the lesion was unaccompanied by inflammatory cell infiltrate, biliary hyperplasia, or pancreatic necrosis, all of which tentatively distinguish this lesion from that of turkey viral hepatitis. no inclusion bodies were found.19761259661
multiple sclerosis among immigrants in greater london.among immigrants resident in greater london from europe, ireland, the ussr, the old commonwealth countries of australia, canada, and new zealand, north and south america, egypt, turkey, and iran the incidence of admission to hospital for probable multiple sclerosis (ms) between 1960 and 1972 was high or moderately high. the incidence was the same order as that found in those born in the united kingdom. immigrants from india, pakistan, and other asian countries and from new commonwealth africa an ...19761260384
requirements of the young turkey for sulphur amino acids and threonine: comparison with other species.1. the requirements of the 3-week-old turkey for the sulphur containing amino acids and for threonine were estimated to be 0.83% and 0.94% respectively in diets containing 12.5 mj me/kg. 2. it is suggested that the growth responses of rats and slow-growing chicks and of fast-growing chicks and young turkeys to daily intakes of the sulphur containing amino acids and of threonine are similar.19761260472
studies on the dilution of turkey semen.1. a series of experiments were conducted to determine the effect of diluent, holding temperature and dilution rate on the viability of turkey semen. 2. no significant difference was observed in the fertility of the undiluted controls and semen diluted with lake's solution to a final rate of 1:4 and maintained at 25 degrees c or 5 degrees c for 30 min. under these conditions as few as 25 million sperm per weekly insemination were needed for optimum fertility. 3. turkey semen exhibited the typica ...19761260475

the regulatory control of beta-receptor dependent adenylate cyclase.the characteristics of the beta-receptor in turkey erythrocyte adenylate cyclase were studied using both kinetics of enzyme activation and direct binding measurement of the beta-agonists and antagonists to the beta-receptor. the regulatory ligands gpp(nh)p and ca2+ do not have any direct effect on the beta-receptor, but modulate the enzyme activity through the interaction with specific regulatory sites.19761263515
tryptophan fluorescence and homology in lysozymes and alpha-lactalbumins.steady-state and transient fluorescence properties of turkey lysozyme, human lysozyme, and bovine alpha-lactalbumin are compared to those of hen lysozyme and hen lysozyme derivatives. tryptophan fluorescence appears to be sufficiently sensitive to environment so that a small divergence in sequence can alter the fluorescence properties of one or more of the sequentially equivalent tryptophans in these proteins. thus, an understanding of the fluorescence of one protein cannot necessarily be extend ...19761268210
a modification of hepatest, using the terasaki plate, for the detection of hbsag in blood donors.a simple modification of hepatest (wellcome reagents) is described, which lends itself to the rapid large-scale screening of blood donors. the technique uses 4 mul of hbsab coated turkey cells (cayzer et al., 1974), and terasaki plates (hopkins and das, 1973), in contrast to the 25 mul used in the microtitre tray technique. this results in a considerable saving on the cost of reagents, the cost per test being reduced to 16% of the cost of the recommended method. in our hands, this modification i ...19761270608
