| maintenance of hyporesponsiveness to antigen by a distinct subclass of t lymphocytes. | immunization with increasing doses of srbc, in excess of 10(8), results in a progressive decline in the anti-srbc pfc response. this hyporesponsive state is antigen specific and is reflected in a decrease of both t helper and b antibody-forming activity. we asked whether the apparent defect of t helper activity reflected a) an absence of alphasrbc helper t cell activity, or b) the presence of srbc-specific suppressor t cells within the hyporesponsive population. our results indicate that at leas ... | 1976 | 62809 |
| the covalent coupling of proteins to periodate-oxidized sephadex: a new approach to immunoadsorbent preparation. | proteins were covalently coupled in good yield to periodate-oxidized sephadex. the reaction was studied in detail with respect to sephadex type, sodium m-periodate concentration, protein (albumin or immunoglobulin) concentration, time course, temperature dependence, and ph optimum. the complexes were stable and were used successfully for the immunoadsorption of sheep anti-rabbit immunoglobulin antibodies. | 1976 | 62811 |
| [demonstration of a factor in cerebrospinal fluid with inhibitory activity for electrophoretic cell mobility in multiple sclerosis (author's transl)]. | inhibition of electrophoretic cell migration using cerebrospinal fluid (csf) directly was investigated by the modified mem (macrophage electrophoretic mobility) and teem (tanned sheep erythrocyte electrophoretic mobility) tests, respectively. an inhibitory activity of macrophage slowing factor (msf)--one of in vivo lymphokines--in csf was established in cases of multiple sclerosis (17.5 +/- 3.8%), and neurolues. the value of this msf assay turned out to be significantly different from the remain ... | 1976 | 62827 |

| antigenic properties of a dna-preparation from calf thymus used for the demonstration of anti-dna. | it was attempted to evaluate passive haemagglutination of antigen coated, tanned erythrocytes as a test by which to demonstrate anti-dna in systemic lupus erythematosus. the antigens was prepared using a minimum of procedures in order to produce a native preparation. the resulting material had most of the criteria applying to native dna, but the protein content was about 9%. it contained a thymocyte specific component, but no demonstrable trace of bovine species antigen. the reactions between th ... | 1976 | 63225 |
| primary immune response to sheep red blood cells in mice treated with immunoregulatory alpha-globulins (ira). | alpha-globulins from human and bovine sera or from mouse ascitic fluid were separated by ion-exchange chromatography on deae-cellulose into fractions a, b, and c. fractions a and b had no immunosuppressive activity; fraction c injected into mice at the time of antigen administration, but not later, significantly reduced the number of anti-srbc plaque-forming cells in the spleens of experimental animals. single high dose inhibited the response better than the same doses given on 4 consecutive day ... | 1976 | 63274 |
| nature of cross-reaction between hcg and anti-olh serum and development of a radioimmunoassay to measure hlh specifically in the presence of hcg. | immunological cross-reaction between hcg and anti-olh sera has been demonstrated using radioimmunoassay techniques. the results indicate that this cross-reaction is incomplete and that the anti-olh sera used have the ability to distinguish between lh and hcg. following absorption with purified hcg, anti-olh serum was used to develop a heterologous radioimmunoassay "[125i]iodo-hlh + anti-olh serum" (h-o, ria) which specifically and selectively measures hlh in serum samples containing both hlh and ... | 1976 | 63368 |
| antigen, host and adjuvant requirements for induction of hyperacute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. | a hyperacute form of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (heae) was induced in lewis rats using small doses (3.2 mug) of guinea pig myelin basic protein as immunogen and b. pertussis vaccine as adjuvant. myelin basic proteins from species other than guinea pig (rat, man, monkey, pig, ox, rabbit and sheep) induced only ordinary eae with this adjuvant. heae was more readily distinguished from ordinary eae by clinical criteria (early onset, with a rapid and severe course, and high incidence o ... | 1976 | 63374 |
| a passive hemagglutination test for diagnosis of trench fever due to rochalimaea quintana. | a passive hemagglutination test devised for diagnosis of trench fever was easily performed and highly sensitive and specific. tanned sheep erythrocytes were sensitized with soluble antigen from rochalimaea quintana. the test detected antibody in six of seven cases of primary infection and in four cases of late, relapsed trench fever. titers of antibody ranged from 1:20 to 1:640. although both igm and igg antibody to r. quintana were detected by passive hemagglutination, igg appeared to be the ma ... | 1976 | 63526 |
| [characteristics of encephalomyocarditis virus isolated from sick monkeys]. | a cytopathic filterable agent designated emc-70 was isolated in 1970 from macaca rhesus monkeys with encephalomyocarditis. its biologic and physico-chemical properties were studied. a number of primary and continuous cell cultures were found to be susceptible to the virus, and it was pathogenic for monkeys and small laboratory animals but did not multiply in chick embryos. the virus was stable to chlorofrom, thermolabile, stable to acids, and agglutinated group o erythrocytes of man, sheep, guin ... | 1976 | 64027 |

| [review: ontogeny of the oxygen transport in the blood]. | the biological importance of the oxygen affinity of the tetrameric haemoglobin molecule and its dependency from co-factors is described. oxygen affinity variations during development from embryonic to adult values are discussed in respect to oxygen uptake from maternal blood via placenta, in lungs and gills as well as to oxygen delivery into tissues. comparative aspects of the molecular mechanisms leading to affinity changes are presented. | 1976 | 64400 |
| cervical mucus in estrous ewes after treatment with estrogen, progestogens and intrauterine devices. | the influence of estradiol, 6-alpha-methyl-17alpha-acetoxyprogesterone (map), and a unilaterally placed iud on cervical mucus production was studied in estrous ewes. the animals received either 60 mg map from days 9 to 21 of the extended estrous cycle, 25 mcg estradiol from day 9 until estrus, or an iud. map treatment significantly (p less than .05) increased cervical mucus production at estrus compared with the other treatments. however, the percentage of dry matter, chloride concentration, ... | 1977 | 64467 |
| hapten-specific hemolytic plaque assays usually fail to detect most of the diversity in the anti-hapten response. | immunization of rabbits or mice with a single, chemically defined hapten elicits populations of plaque-forming cells (pfc) detectable not only on sheep erythrocytes (srbc) bearing the immunizing hapten, but also on srbc bearing structural analogues of the immunizing hapten. most of these analogue-reactive pfc preferentially lyse analogue-conjugated srbc and cannot be detected on erythrocytes bearing the immunizing hapten. thus, they represent heretofore largely unstudied components of the secret ... | 1977 | 64583 |
| virus-replicating t cells in the immune response of mice. i. virus plaque assay of the lymphocytes reactive to sheep erythrocytes. | virus plaque-forming cell assay with vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv), which had been originally introduced by bloom and his colleagues as a tool for the enumeration of activated lymphocytes, was first applied to the immune response of mice to a widely used antigen, i.e. sheep red blood cells (srbc). when spleen cells taken from mice previously primed with srbc were cultured in the presence of the antigen, lymphocytes capable of replicating vsv (antigen-induced virus plaque-forming cells, ag-v-p ... | 1977 | 64584 |
| antigenic similarity between simian virus 40-induced surface and fetal antigens in hamster. | the tumor-associated cell-surface antigen (tssa) on simian virus 40 (sv40)-transformed hamster cells was studied serologically by a complement-dependent cytotoxicity test. an antiserum was obtained from guinea pigs inoculated with sv40-transformed hamster cells. the serum was cytotoxic to sv40-transformed hamster cells after absorption with 15-day hamster embryo cells, hamster cells transformed either by polyoma virus or adenovirus 12, various tissues of hamster origin (brainliver, spleen, and k ... | 1977 | 64617 |
| identification of resting human t and b lymphocytes by acid alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase staining combined with rosette formation with staphylococcus aureus strain cowan 1. | we describe a method enabling the identification of both lymphocyte class and morphology from a single microscopic slide. as a marker for b cells we used surface immunoglobulin. the surface-ig-carrying cells were rosetted after poly-valent anti-ig treatment with staphylococcus aureus strain cowan 1 (stacw) and the cells were cytocentrifuged onto a microscope slide. the lymphocytes forming rosettes with stacw were identical with cells expressing surface ig studied by fluorescein-isothiocyanate-co ... | 1976 | 65004 |
| the effects of mouse alpha-fetoprotein on t-cell-dependent and t-cell-independent immune responses in vitro. | mouse alpha-fetoprotein (afp) suppressed the specific antibody response to the t-cell-dependent antigen sheep erythrocytes (srbc) and the phytohemagglutinin- and concanavalin-a-stimulated dna synthesis of purified t lymphocytes but failed to inhibit the t-cell-independent antibody response to dinitrophenyl-substituted ficoll (dnp-ficoll) and the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated polyclonal b-cell antibody synthesis. mouse amniotic fluid (maf) suppressed antibody responses to both t-cell-dependent an ... | 1976 | 65007 |
| [experimental infection of domestic animals with r. prowazeki and r. canada]. | the authors infected lambs with r. prowazeki and r. canada to ascertain their possible role in the natural infection of the animals. the lambs were infected subcutaneously with increasing doses; rickettsiemia was recorded with the aid of tests on guinea pigs and ixodidae and argasidae ticks fed on the lambs. dynamics of antibody formation was ascertained in the infected animals in the agglutination reaction and in the complement fixation test. the antigenic affinity of r. canada and rickettsia o ... | 1976 | 65076 |

| elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein and impaired immune response in malnutrition. | serum alpha-fetoprotein (afp) estimated in 33 malnourished children, was found to be elevated in 11 of 17 fetally growth-retarded infants and in 5 to 16 with postnatal nutritional deficiency. the majority of those with increased serum afp concentration had associated liver dysfunction. nutritional deprivation of growing rats resulted in an increase in afp levels, especially in the offspring of starved female animals. the administration of purified afp was associated with reduced antibody formati ... | 1977 | 66207 |
| characterization of molecular heterogeneity and multispecificity in homologous idiotypic antisera. | the molecular heterogeneity of homologous anti-idiotypic reagents was characterized by a novel isoelectric focusing procedure. idiotypic antisera directed against the pc-binding plasmacytoma protein t15 were raised in ce and and a/j mice. these antisera were shown to be highly specific by hemagglutination with myeloma protein-derivatized sheep erythrocytes and by radioimmunoassay. competition experiments performed with affinity-labeled t15 revealed that about 40% of the pooled ce antibody activi ... | 1977 | 66270 |
| effects of carrageenan on immune responses. studies on the macrophage dependency of various antigens after treatment with carrageenan. | carrageenan, a sulfated polygalactose having macrophage toxic properties, elicited a marked suppression of igm response to t cell-dependent antigens such as sheep red blood cells (srbc), dinitrophenylated bovine serum gamma-globulin (dnp-bgg), and trinitrophenylated concanavalin a (tnp-con a). in contrast, carrageenan did not inhibit antibody responses to such t cell-independent antigens as trinitrophenylated deae-dextran (tnp-deae-dextran), trinitrophenylated polyvinyl pyrrolidone(tnp-pvp), and ... | 1977 | 66280 |
| immunosuppressive activity of ira on the plaque-forming response to srbc in vitro: reversal with educated cells. | the alpha-globulin-rich fraction of cohn fraction iv, designated ira, suppresses the in vitro antibody response to sheep red blood cells (srbc) without cytotoxicity. ira was effective if added before or up to 24 hr after antigen exposure. the suppression could be reversed after 24-hr treatment by washing the cells two to three times; after 48 hr of ira treatment, however, suppression could only be partially reversed. the addition of a population of thymus-derived cells educated to the antigen sr ... | 1977 | 66281 |
| ala-1: murine alloantigen of activated lymphocytes. ii. t and b effector cells express ala-1. | ala-1 (activated lymphocyte antigen-1) is a murine alloantigen expressed only on activated peripheral t and b lymphocytes. the presence or absence of ala-1 on specific functional lymphocyte subsets was determined by treating the relevant cell population with anti-ala-1 and complement, and assaying for residual functional activity. by this method, ala-1 was shown to be on in vivo primed killer t cells cytotoxic for allogeneic tumor cells. it was also found on helper t cells generated in vivo to s ... | 1977 | 66297 |
| [concentration of estrone, estradiol and estriol in the blood of pregnant sheep after induction of estrus with chlormadinone acetate and medroxyprogesterone acetate]. | the radioisotopic method of 131j-labelled albumin was employed to determine the distribution of acidic proteinase activity in some organs and tissues of chickens. the highest enzymatic activities were found in intestine wall, in pancreas, and in liver. considerably lower activities were ascertained in kidneys, brain, lungs, and heart. the different proportions of these enzymes in homogenates and supernatant fractions (106 000 g) testify to a lack of uniformity in the solubility of cathepsins in ... | 1976 | 66795 |

| isolation and characterisation of oncornavirus from primary cultures of tissues from cattle with leukemia. | the purpose of this investigation was to search for oncornavirus in primary cell cultures obtained from leukemic cattle organs and lymphocytes and to study their molecular-biological properties and role in the etiology of cattle leukemia. the investigation was carried out on 25 primary trypsinized cell culutres of lymph nodes, spleens, kidneys and lymphocytes from cattle with acute and chronic leukemia. it was demonstrated that all cell cultures from leukemic cattle (in contrast to cell cultures ... | 1977 | 66913 |
| purification and properties of rabbit spermatozoal acrosomal neuraminidase. | treatment of rabbit spermatozoa with 50mm-mgcl2 removes the plasma and the outer acrosomal membranes. subsequent treatment with the detergents hyamine 2389 and triton x-100 solubilizes spermatozoal neuraminidase bound to the inner acrosomal membrane. the enzyme was further purified by deae-cellulose, sephadex g-150 and bio-gel p-300 column chromato. the enzyme showed a single major band, with the possibility of some minor contaminants, on disc-gel electrophoresis. it had a specific activity of 0 ... | 1977 | 66917 |
| systemic expression of cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity. | guinea pigs primed for cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity (cbh) with several soluble proteins or with sheep erythrocytes developed a systemic, delayed-onset, maculopapular rash when challenged parenterally with specific antigen. the rash was most readily induced 5 to 7 days after immunization, at a time when local cbh skin test reactivity was also optimal. miscroscopically, the rash resembled local cbh skin test reactions, being comprised of a papillary dermal infiltrate of basophils and lympho ... | 1977 | 67141 |
| temperature dependence of antigen-specific rosette formation by lymphocytes from immunised mice. | spleen cell suspensions from mice undergoing a secondary response to sheep erythrocytes (srbc) contained about one tenth as many specific antigen-binding, rosette-forming cells (rfc) when they had been washed at 37 degrees c instead of 4 degrees c before rosetting. this difference was correlated with the presence of igg anti-srbc antibody in the serum, and the 37 degrees c washings of immunised spleen cells could passively allergise non-immune spleen cells at 4 degrees c for specific rosette for ... | 1977 | 67152 |
| evidence for the dissimilarity of acrosin and pancreatic trypsin as revealed by a sensitive immunoassay. | common antigenic determinants between two species of pancreatic trypsin and twelve species of acrosin were studied using a highly sensitive, enzyme-linked immunoassay. no common antigenic determinants between trypsin and acrosin could be detected. | 1977 | 67180 |
| some endocrine aspects of the thymus gland. | in studies of the mouse thymus, lymphocyte mitoses are seen to be most frequent in the thymus cortex. there is evidence from thymic grafts that a hypothetical factor, thymopoietin, may stimulate mitosis of thymic lymphocytes. it is a factor which is postulated to act in conjunction with the pas-positive mesenchymal reticular cells and epithelial reticular cells of the cortex. the thymus medulla is necessary for the integrity of thymic grafts, and may also elaborate a secretion for maintaining th ... | 1976 | 67231 |

| nonspecific genetic regulation of antibody responsiveness in the mouse. | four lines of mice were produced by selective breeding for quantitative agglutinin responsiveness to flagellar (f) or somatic (s) antigens (ags) of salmonellae: high (h) or low (l) responder lines to fag and h and l responder lines to sag. the salmonellae contained both f and sags, the ag used to perform the selection was the selection ag and the other was the associated ag. the selective breeding produced a progressive interline separation with an equivalent effect for both ags. after 15 genera ... | 1977 | 67954 |
| a heterophile carbohydrate moiety common to mammalian igm and erythrocytes detected by chicken igm antibody. | sequential treatment of chicken lymphocytes with normal sheep serum (nss), chicken antiserum against sheep erythrocytes (se) and formaldehyde results in rosette formation with se. the identity of reactive components and the mechanism of rosette formation has been elucidated. the binding activity of nss to chicken lymphocytes was ascribed to "natural" igm anti-species antibodies. subsequently, chicken igm anti-se antibody reacted with sheep igm bound to the lymphocyte surface, and, following form ... | 1977 | 67955 |
| specific restoration of delayed hypersensitivity by lymphoid tissue extracts. | mice lose demonstrable delayed hypersensitivity (dh) to dnfb, picryl chloride, or sheep red blood cells. reconstitution of immune responsiveness can be accomplished by administration of cell-free lysates of spleens from mice with active dh to structurally related, but not to unrelated antigens. peritoneal exudate cell lysates from mice with active dnfb-dh also restore dh to this antigen. sera from sensitized mice, and sera and lymphoid tissue extracts from unsensitized mice are without activity. ... | 1977 | 68074 |

| b-cell tolerance. iii. effect of papain-mediated cleavage of cell surface igd on tolerance susceptibility of murine b cells. | under defined conditions, papain removes igd from cells while leaving igm, h-2, ia, lyb-2, and complement receptor intact. the effect of such treatment with papain on the induction of tolerance in murine splenic b cells was determined in an in vitro system. treatment of the cells with papain has no effect on subsequent antibody responsiveness presumably because surface receptors regenerate before and during incubation with immunogen. removal of increasing amounts of igd results in increasing sus ... | 1977 | 68987 |
| evolution of an idiotypic determinant: anti-val. | an antibody population which reacts only with human sickle cell hemoglobin (hbs) and not with normal human hemoglobin, has been isolated from goat, sheep, and guinea pig antisera. these antibody populations termed anti-val (val), isolated from an individual goat (no. 6) and sheep (no. 26) have been used to elicit anti-idiotypic responses in rabbits. these anti-idiotypic sera were used to study the idiotypic cross-reactions between the goat and sheep anti-val. strong cross-reactions were present ... | 1977 | 69001 |
| enrichment of antigen-specific b lymphocytes by the direct removal of b cells not bearing specificity for the antigen. | antigen-specific b cells (asc) were purified from other b cells by prior incubation with specific antigen followed by rosetting with erythrocytes conjugated with anti-mouse ig and sedimenting on ficoll-isopaque. this procedure allowed the removal of most of the b cells, while those speicifc for the antigen used in incubation were retained. relative to the b-cell content, asc were enriched 64- to 132-fold. the method is highly specific in that b cells primed to two different antigens, turkey gamm ... | 1977 | 69002 |
