| detection of "alpha-type" inhibitors in the presence of low levels of specific influenza antibodies. | in native, heated or otherwise treated egg white and in sera of men and guinea pigs, haemagglutination inhibition titres were determined against three inhibitor-sensitive (is) strains and one inhibitor-resistant (ir) variant on influenza a virus. a few human sera with no detectable antibody revealed high inhibition titres even against the ir variant. human sera after treatment with trypsin and periodate revealed mostly a reduction or no change, and exceptionally an increase of their inhibition t ... | 1979 | 39434 |
| long-term culture of guinea pig tongue cells: a suitable interferon system. | the interferon system was investigated in a long-term culture of guinea pig tongue (gpt) cells. interferon synthesis was induced with newcastle disease virus (b strain) and f2 phage double-stranded rna. guinea pig interferons were about 2 times more active in cell cultures established from guinea pig embryos than in the gpt cells. human leukocyte and mouse peritoneal cell interferons were active in this cell system also. | 1979 | 39441 |
| aminoglycoside antibiotics and sympathetic ganglionic transmission. | the effects of streptomycin, gentamicin, tobramycin and amikacin on transmission in sympathetic ganglia have been studied using the guinea pig isolated hypogastric nerve-vas deferens preparation. these aminoglycoside antibiotics produce dose-related sympathetic blockade at concentrations greater than the common therapeutically effective antibiotic concentrations. | 1979 | 39462 |
| [on the narco-hypnotic of o-chloro 2-phenyl ethyl allophanate (s. c. s. 100) in animal (author's transl)]. | oral administration of o-chloro 2-phenyl éthyl allophanate (s. c. s. 100) to male and pregnant, or not, female mice, to male and female rats, to male guinea-pigs and rabbits induces, according to tested doses and animal species, a reduction of motoricity, a state of sleepiness giving way to exterior solicitations, a loss of balance, a diminution of muscular tonus or a temporary loss of righting reflex going with narcosis and a reversible suppression of sensibility. the narco-hynoticaction of s. ... | 1979 | 39471 |
| decrease in dose requirement of d-tubocurarine by volatile anesthetics. | volatile anesthetics are known to decrease the requirements for neuromuscular blocking agents. to obtain a quantitative measure of the extent of this drug interaction, studies were performed on isolated guinea pig nerve--lumbrical muscle preparations exposed to methoxyflurane, halothane, isoflurane, diethyl ether, fluroxene, and enflurane in concentrations equal to mac. from the relationship between indirect twitch height and d-tubocurarine concentration, the concentration depressing the twitch ... | 1979 | 39476 |
| beta-adrenergic blocking action of halonitrophenethanolamines. | a series of phenethanolamines with n-isopropyl and n-tertbutyl substituents and ring-substituted with nitro- and halogen groups has been prepared. using guinea-pig isolated atrial and tracheal preparations, the influence of the nitro-group on the beta 1- and beta 2-antagonist actions of the mono-halogen compounds was determined, and the antagonist and partial agonist effects of the halo-nitro-compounds on beta-adrenoceptors in these tissues measured to help elucidate structure-activity relations ... | 1979 | 39529 |
| effect of strophantin on the isolated guinea-pig ileum. | the effect of strophantin on isolated guinea-pig ileum was investigated. it was found that strophantin produces a dose-dependent contraction that is not blocked by atropine, ganglionic blockade, but is potentiated by prostigmine. depolarization of the guinea-pig ileum by a high potassium solution does not change the effect of strophantin. strophantin response is competitively antagonized by verapamil. the effect is significantly reduced, 5 to 10 min, after the preparation is immersed in zero cal ... | 1979 | 39531 |
| [on the mechanism of the positive inotropic effect of triamterene on the myocardium (author's transl)]. | the influence of triamterene on the contractile force and the cellular electrolyte content and exchange was studied in isolated, electrically stimulated guinea-pig atria. 1. triamterene (40 to 200 mumol/l) produces a positive inotropic effect which is most pronounced when the extracellular calcium concentration is reduced (1.2 to 0.6 mmol/l) or the contractile force is diminished by pentobarbital (400 mumol/l). the inotropic action of triamterene was shown to be independent of the rate of stimul ... | 1979 | 39580 |
| comparison of the beta-adrenoceptor effects of soterenol and its 3-hydroxy, 4-sulphonamido isomer (mj6987-1) in isolated tissues from the guninea-pig. | 1. soterenol and its 3-hydroxy, 4-methanesulphonamido isomer (mj6987-1) were compared with isoprenaline for beta-adrenoceptor mediated effects in guinea-pig atrial, tracheal, uterine and ileal preparations. in addition, mj6987-1 was tested for its effects in the atria of cats, rabbits and rats. 2. soterenol had a lower intrinsic activity and was approximately two to six times less active than isoprenaline in all preparations. 3. mj6987-1 was a full agonist, being some 30--200 times less active t ... | 1979 | 39696 |
| fibrin membrane endowed with biological function. iv. formation of cross-links between fibrinogen (or fibrin) and ribonuclease by transglutaminase. | transglutaminase from guinea pig liver catalyzed the formation of cross-links between fibrinogen (or fibrin) and ribonuclease. using transglutaminase, immoblized ribonuclease was prepared by two separate methods: (1) fibrinogen-ribonuclease conjugates formed by transglutaminase were treated with thrombin to make fibrin membrane bound covalently to the enzyme; (2) fibrin polymer formed from fibrinogen with thrombin was covalently bound to ribonuclease by transglutaminase to make fibrin-ribonuclea ... | 1979 | 39750 |
