flagella-induced immunity against experimental cholera in adult rabbits.the adult rabbit ligated ileal loop model was used to evaluate the prophylactic potential of a crude flagellar (cf) vaccine produced from the classical. inaba strain ca401. a greater than 1,000-fold increase in the challenge inoculum was required to induce an intestinal fluid response in actively immunized adult rabbits equivalent to that produced in unimmunized animals. similar protection was afforded against challenge with classical and el tor biotypes of both inaba and ogawa serotypes. highly ...1979478635
fate of plasma membrane during endocytosis. ii. evidence for recycling (shuttle) of plasma membrane constituents.cultured rat embryo fibroblasts were first allowed to store for 24 h fluorescein-labeled goat immunoglobulins directed against rabbit immunoglobulins (f anti-r igg), and were subsequently exposed for 24 h to [(3)h]acetylated rabbit immunoglobulins known to bind to the cell membrane either specifically (anti-plasma membrane igg: a anti-pm igg) or unspecifically (contol igg: ac igg). as a result of immunological interaction between the two antibodies (no effect was found if the cells had been prel ...1979479310
tritium (3h) radiolabeling of protein a and antibody to high specific activity: application to cell surface antigen radioimmunoassays.staphylococcal protein a and several different immunoglobulins have been radiolabeled to high specific activities (greater than 10(6) cpm/microgram) by reductive methylation with tritiated (3h) sodium borohydride. the proteins retain excellent functional and antigenic properties. the utility of these reagents in a variety of assays for cell surface antigens is illustrated. the results indicate that this radiolabeling procedure may become the method of choice for many cell surface and solution im ...1979479606
an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibodies to native and denatured dna.a modification of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) is described, that permits determination of antibodies to native dna (ndna). the same approach can be used to measure antibodies to denatured dna (ddna). poor binding of ndna to the polystyrene solid phase has presented difficulties in using the elisa method for assaying anti-ndna activity (engvall, 1976), but we find that precoating of the solid phase with protamine sulfate circumvents this problem. assays for anti-ddna are also en ...1979479614
attempted cross-transmission of coccidia between sheep and goats and description of eimeria ovinoidalis sp. n.attempted infection of 2 young lambs with oocysts of eimeria christenseni from a goat was unsuccessful. negative results were obtained also when young kids were fed oocysts of eimeria ninakohlyakimovae from sheep. there was no difficulty in infecting lambs with the sheep coccidium resembling e. ninakohlyakimovae nor goats with the goat coccidium e. christenseni. oocysts from the goat measured 38.4 x 26.7 microns, but were easily distinguished from eimeria ahsata from the sheep by sporocyst size ...1979480272
paratuberculosis (johne's disease) in bighorn sheep and a rocky mountain goat in colorado.between may, 1972 and february, 1978, six cases of paratuberculosis (johne's disease) caused by mycobacterium paratuberculosis were diagnosed in free-ranging rocky mountain bighorn sheep (ovis canadensis) and one rocky mountain goat (oreamnos americanus) on or near mt. evans in colorado. diagnosis of paratuberculosis was based on gross and histopathologic examination of the animals and by isolation of m. paratuberculosis from three sheep and the goat. the clinical signs and pathologic changes se ...1979480512

parathyroid hormone release is not associated with acute sympathetic arousal in goats.physiological activation of the sympathetic adrenomedullary (sam) axis following both thermal and non thermal stress was assessed by changes in serum norepinephrine, glucose and/or protein as well as indices of peripheral blood flow. the occurrence of elevated serum parathyroid hormone (pth) did not reliably reflect sam activation as might be predicted from pharmacological studies that document a beta adrenergic receptor mechanism in the parathyroid gland that mediates catecholamine stimulated r ...1979487994
water regulation in barmer goat of the rajasthan desert.the different body fluid compartments in normally watered and 4-day water-deprived goats of rajasthan desert, india, were measured in autumn. the goats maintained plasma volume and extracellular fluid volume, but lost gut and cell water considerably under the experimental conditions; indicating that the maintenance of the fluidity of the blood has priority over the body's other fluid requirements in this desert-adapted species during water deprivation.1979488273
epitestosterone in the plasma of the goat during pregnancy and at parturition.epitestosterone, a product of the metabolism of androstenedione by the caprine placenta in vitro, is present in the plasma of the pregnant goat. the maternal concentrations of both epitestosterone and unconjugated oestrogens (mostly oestradiol-17 alpha) in the blood increased before parturition and dropped post partum. measurement of arteriovenous differences at term indicated that epitestosterone was secreted by the uterus; its production was not dependent on the presence of corpora lutea. it i ...1979490084
air humidity and carotid rete function in thermoregulation of the goat.1. the effects of air humidity on respiratory rate have been studied in conscious goats exposed to an air temperature of + 33 degrees c. before the experiments the animals had been chronically implanted with hypothalamic thermodes and intravascular heat exchangers to manipulate hypothalamic and general body core temperatures.2. raising air humidity from 37 to 96% at constant air temperature resulted in a rise of respiratory rate, an immediate increase in hypothalamic temperature and a delayed sm ...1979490377

homo sapiens ascorbicus, a biochemically corrected robust human mutant.homo sapiens' gene pool contains a defective gene for the synthesis of the active enzyme protein, l-gulonolactone oxidase(glo). the absence of glo in the human liver blocks the normal mammalian conversion of blood sugar into ascorbate, leading to the potentially-fatal "inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism", the genetic disease, hypoascorbemia (in the older nomenclature- scurvy). to survive, humans need exogenous sources of daily ascorbate. most mammals have the intact gene for glo synthesis a ...1979491997
nasal heat exchange in the giraffe and other large mammals.the respiratory air of the giraffe is exhaled at temperatures substantially below body core temperature. as a consequence, the water content of the exhaled air is reduced to levels below that in pulmonary air, resulting in substantial reductions in respiratory water loss. measurements under outdoor conditions showed that at an ambient air temperature of 24 degrees c, the exhaled air was 7 degrees c below body core temperature, and at ambient air temperature of 17 degrees c, the exhaled air was 1 ...1979493753
[rift valley fever, a veterinary and medical problem (author's transl)].rift valley fever probably occurred in east and south africa for many years, where it occasionally caused sever epizootics among sheep and to a less extent in cattle and goats. particularly newborn animals fall victims to the disease, whereas the majority of pregnant ewes and cows abort. in recent years, the disease spread to the sudan and reached the nile delta in 1977, where it not only caused an epizootic but also an epidemic among the population, resulting in approximately 18,000 cases and n ...1979494210

the amino acid sequence of goat beta-lactoglobulin.the isolation of beta-lactoglobulin from milk of the goat is described. the purified protein was checked for purity and has been characterized by its gross composition and end groups. the native or the modified protein was then degraded by tryptic and cyanogen bromide cleavage. the cleavage products were isolated and sequenced in the sequenator using a quadrol and propyne program. these data provide the complete sequence of beta-lactoglobulin of the goat. the results are discussed and compared p ...1979511095
[hemoglobins, xxviii. phosphate-protein-interaction, gene expression and function: the genetic and allosteric control of the oxygen affinity of the fetal blood (author's transl)].this work describes possible molecular mechanisms concerning the control of oxygen affinity in fetal blood of mammalia. there is a genetic control of oxygen affinity through a fetal gene: at constant phosphate concentration (hb less than p2-glycerate) in humans there is a hemoglobin with only five binding sites to 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, resulting in an increased oxygen affinity. in several species (sheep, cattle, goat) with met-leu as the n-terminal group of the beta-chains, the 2,3-bisphospho ...1979511113

polioencephalomalacia in goats.of six goats with polioencephalomalacia, three responded to thiamin therapy, whereas three died 2 to 7 days after onset of signs. the goats were 2 months to 2 1/2 years old. they were affected during the winter or early spring, and concentrate feeding was a prominent part of the history. transketolase activity values were obtained from two affected goats and from nine controls. the affected goats had lower transketolase activity than any of the controls.1979511735
the ultrastructure of the sweat glands of the ox, sheep and goat during sweating and recovery.the ultrastructure of the sweat glands of cattle, sheep and goats was studied before, during, and after, exposure of the animals to controlled warm environments. in cattle, sweating induced little ultrastructural change in the gland, although fluid-filled spaces appeared between the myo- and secretory epithelial layers. the mechanism appears to be one of fluid transport and exocytosis of secretory vesicles, which in this species seem to be derived from the golgi apparatus and/or mitochondria. th ...1979511758
