Renca cells were implanted underneath the renal capsule of Balb/c mice to induce a primary tumor that spontaneously metastasized to several organs. Established primary renal tumors 4 to 6 mm. in diameter were treated by intralesional administration of recombinant murine interleukin-4 (IL-4). This treatment caused a marked inhibition of the primary tumor growth but had little effect on the progression of metastases in the liver, mesentery and lungs. Immunohistochemistry studies performed on renal tumor sections showed a macrophage infiltration that became predominant 7 days after IL-4 treatment. CD8+ T cells were also observed at the periphery and within the tumor. These data suggest that IL-4 mediated a potent antitumor effect when administered intralesionally although its effects remained localized with no impact on metastases at distant sites. Interleukin-4 antitumor activity seems to be mediated by recruitment of macrophages and T cells in the tumor. C1 WAYNE STATE UNIV,SCH MED,DEPT UROL,DETROIT,MI 48201.

Nucleotide sequence comparisons of the Salmonella plasmid virulence (spv) genes of S. enteritidis with those of S. typhimurium and S. dublin have revealed that a single base-pair change unique to S. enteritidis is present in the spvA gene. An 18-base synthetic oligonucleotide probe (SE-probe) that is completely homologous to the spvA gene of S. enteritidis but which has one base pair mismatch with other salmonellae was shown to be specific for S. enteritidis. in colony hybridization blots, 129 isolates of S. enteritidis, 29 other species of Salmonella, and 17 non-Salmonella spp, were tested with the SE-probe. The SE-probe hybridized with 96% of the S, enteritidis strains tested but did not react with the other Salmonella or non-Salmonella strains. These data suggest that the SE-probe can be used in a specific and rapid detection assay for S. enteritidis. C1 US FDA,DIV MOLEC BIOL RES & EVALUAT HFS237,WASHINGTON,DC 20204.

Induction of CYP1A1 enabled these cells to metabolize (+/-)-benzo[a]pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol (BPD) into a potent cytotoxicant and mutagen. The XPA cells were more susceptible than the normal cells to the cytotoxic effects of both CYP1A1-metabolized BPD and exogenously supplied (+/-)-anti benzo[a]pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE). Furthermore, the differential cytotoxicity between XPA and normal cells induced by CYP1A1-metabolized BPD was 8.4-fold greater than that induced by exogenously supplied BPDE. The two cell lines had similar CYP1A1 activities, suggesting that a difference in metabolic potential was not the cause of the differential response to BPD. At comparable cytotoxicity in both XPA and normal cells, BPD treatment induced more mutants and more DNA adducts than BPDE treatment did. At similar levels of DNA adducts in XPA cells, the levels of cytotoxicity induced by CYP1A1-metabolized BPD and exogenously supplied BPDE were similar, but CYP1A1-metabolized BPD induced a threefold higher hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase mutation frequency. In contrast, at similar levels of adducts in CYP1A1-expressing normal cells, BPD induced less cytotoxicity and a lower mutation frequency. DNA adducts were identified and quantified by P-32-postlabeling analyses. The principal adduct formed by both CYP1A1-metabolized BPD and exogenously supplied BPDE was 10-beta-(deoxyguanosin-N-2-yl)-7 beta,8 alpha,9 alpha-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene, indicating that the differential effects of BPD- and BPDE-induced adducts were not due to a difference in the types of adducts formed. The results of these studies suggest that CYP1Al-metabolized BPD may form adducts preferentially in transcriptionally active genes or that the intracellular concentration of BPDE may influence the balance between cytotoxicity and mutagenicity (or both).

It inhibits DNA synthesis, and addition of deoxycytidine monophosphate (dCMP) has been shown previously to attenuate the developmental toxicant effects of HU in vivo. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether addition of deoxyadenosine monophosphate (dAMP) or dCMP would attenuate HU-induced embryotoxicity using a rodent whole embryo culture system. Rat embryos were removed on the morning of day 10 of gestation, and mouse embryos were removed on day 8 of gestation (day 0 = the day a vaginal plug was found). Embryos were treated with various concentrations of HU (up to 500 mu g/ml) for 1 hr at 37 degrees C before being washed and cultured for 43 hr in rat serum containing dAMP or dCMP. At the end of the culture period, six endpoints were evaluated for each viable embryo: morphological score; number of somite pairs; crown-rump and head lengths, DNA and protein contents. HU (300 mu g/ml) significantly decreased values for all endpoints in embryos from both mice and rats; however, mouse embryos appeared to be more sensitive to the effects of the drug. dAMP and dCMP alone produced some embryotoxicity at high concentrations. The combination of HU + dAMP had no consistent beneficial effect in rat embryos and no effect on mouse embryos. The combination of HU + dCMP improved growth and development slightly. As determined by HPLC analysis, HU treatment (300 mu g/ml for 1 hr) decreased all nucleotide pools. Subsequent treatment with dAMP increased all pool levels, although these levels remained below those of control embryos. These results suggest that the developmental toxicant effects of HU are not due solely to alterations in deoxyribonucleotide pool levels.

The impact on AHF of recent anti-HCV screening of plasma was also investigated. Study Design and Methods: A total of 183 lots of AHF made by six United States-licensed manufacturers from anti-HCV-unscreened (1976-1991) or screened (1992-1993) plasma were examined. Detection and quantitation of HCV RNA were achieved by reverse transcription and nested polymerase chain reaction at limiting dilution. Anti-HCV in AHF was also measured. Results: Earlier AHF lots subjected to non-virus-inactivated treatment (36 lots), dry heat (11 lots), or heating in n-heptane (4 lots) had relatively high levels of HCV RNA. Most (76%) wet-heated lots prepared before 1992 contained HCV RNA. No HCV RNA was detected in lots purified by immunoaffinity and subsequently heated or solvent/detergent (S/D)-treated. However, trace levels of HCV RNA were detected in S/D-treated lots made by one of four manufacturers before 1992. Since the start of anti-HCV plasma screening in 1992, 38 lots prepared by six manufacturers were negative for HCV RNA. Prevalence of anti-HCV was also associated with earlier concentrates and with S/D-treated lots from that single manufacturer. Conclusion: Anti-HCV screening of plasma by manufacturers in conjunction with current virus-inactivation procedures, wet-heating or S/D treatment (either process with or without affinity purification), appears to reduce HCV RNA to undetectable levels in AHF.

Others have shown that Fe-NTA induces modified DNA base products both in vitro and in vivo. However, Fe-NTA is negative in the Ames Salmonella test with or without S9 activation. The goal of this project was to determine if Fe-NTA is cytotoxic and mutagenic using the L5178Y (TK (+/-)) mouse lymphoma assay. Our experiments showed a relationship between the concentration of Fe-NTA (0 to 1 mM) and the decrease in relative survival. An exposure-dependent increase in the number of mutations was observed with increasing concentrations of Fe-NTA. At 14% relative survival, there was about a 4-fold increase in mutations (trifluorothymidine resistance) over unexposed, control cells. Ferric nitrate or nitrilotriacetic acid alone induced a relatively low 1.5- or 1.1-fold increase in mutation, respectively. Our results establish that Fe-NTA is mutagenic in the L5178Y mouse lymphoma assay system. C1 US FDA,HFZ 112,ROCKVILLE,MD 20857.

Strategic chemical cross-linking and site-directed mutagenesis have produced proteins that have both physiological oxygen binding characteristics and a markedly prolonged retention time in the circulation. The presence of a large amount of redox-active iron outside the red blood cell, however, raises some concerns about the potential for toxic side effects, many involving the production or participation of oxygen free radicals. In the present study, HPLC purified human hemoglobin HbA(0) and two derivatives, one cross-linked between the lysine 99 residues of the alpha subunits (alpha-DBBF) and the other between the lysine 82 residues of the beta subunits (beta-DBBF) were tested for their susceptibility to oxidation and oxidative damage caused by H2O2 We show that chemical cross-linking resulting in alpha-DBBF induces an increased tendency to form ferryl radical in the presence of H2O2 and stabilizes the radical once formed, The in vitro oxidative modification of alpha-DBBF seen here is a plausible mechanism for some of the in vivo toxicities associated with the infusion of this hemoglobin.

When tested against H9 cells infected acutely with two different strains of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) and in the chronically infected monocytoid cell lines U1 and THP-1, the 3-deazanucleosides caused a marked reduction in p24 antigen production. Similar reductions in p24 antigen were seen in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells infected with clinical HIV-1 isolates. Strikingly, in comparing the therapeutic indices between the paired pre- and post-3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) treatment HIV-1 isolates, DZNep and neplanocin A showed an increase of 3- to 18-fold in their potency against AZT-resistant HIV-1 isolates. In H9 cells treated with DZNep and DZAri, the formation of triphosphate nucleotides of DZNep and DZAri was observed. The mode of action of DZNep and DZAri appears complex, at least in part, at the level of infectivity as shown by decreases in syncytia formation in HIV-1-infected H9 cells and at the level of transcription as both drugs inhibited the expression of basal or tat-induced HIV-1 long terminal repeat chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity in stably transfected cell lines. Since DZNep induced in H9 cells a rapid expression of nuclear binding factors that recognize the AP-1 transcription site, the anti-HIV-1 activity of the DZA analogs could partly be the induction of critical factors in the host cells. Thus, the 3-deazanucleoside drugs belong to an unusual class of anti-HIV-1 drugs, which may have therapeutic potential, in particular against AZT-resistant strains.

To understand the mechanism of inhibition of T cell proliferation, we have investigated the regulation of IL-2 production and its receptor expression on a human CD4(+) T lymphoid cell line (H9) transfected with HIV-1 tat gene. When cells were activated by mitogens, as compared to control cells, a significant decrease in both IL-2 mRNA and protein was observed in tat-transfected cells. Similarly, mitogen-induced IL-2R alpha and IL-2R beta mRNA and surface expression of IL-2R alpha and IL-2R beta chains were also significantly decreased in tat-transfected cells compared to control cells. Only IL-2 receptor density was decreased; the affinity of the ligand for the receptor appeared to be unchanged. In contrast to our previous studies with B-lymphoblastoid cell line (purl RK and Aggarwal BB: Cancer Res 1992;52:3787-3790), IL-4R expression was unaltered by HIV tat transfection in the H9 T cell line, indicating a cell type-specific phenomenon. Owing to the central role of IL-2 in immunoregulation, our data suggest that immunosuppressive effects of HIV-1 tat may be mediated at least in part through the inhibition of both IL-2 production and IL-2 receptor expression.

These T1-SP10 peptides can stimulate both cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. The current work used a novel approach to study the nature and specificity of the response elicited by these peptides. Cytokine-specific ELIspot assays were used to examine the number, kinetics and fine specificity of cells induced to secrete IL-4 and IL-6 in mice immunized with T1-SP10 peptides. Results indicate that the peptides activated cytokine-secreting cells in a dose-dependent manner in vivo. In vitro restimulation experiments demonstrated that both the SP10 and T1 regions contributed to this activation. Consistent with previous studies, mice sequentially immunized with peptides expressing different V3 loop regions generated B cell responses that were larger and more cross-reactive than those induced by a single peptide. Sequential immunizations had less effect on the number or specificity of the cytokine-producing cells. C1 DUKE UNIV,MED CTR,DEPT MED,DURHAM,NC 27710.

The animals appear normal during the first 2 weeks of life but develop a rapid wasting syndrome and die by 3 to 4 weeks of age. All of the knockout mice have a multifocal inflammatory disease in many tissues. The heart and lungs are most severely affected. Increased adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium of pulmonary veins is the initial lesion seen at day 8 postnatally and is soon followed by perivascular cuffing as well as inflammatory infiltrates in lung parenchyma. The lesions in the heart begin as endocarditis and then progress to myocarditis and pericarditis. Within the lung, chronic inflammatory infiltrates consist of T and B lymphocytes, including plasma cells, whereas macrophages are the primary inflammatory cell type in the heart. Increased expression of major histocompatibility complex class I and II proteins in seen in pulmonary vascular endothelium as early as day 8. An immunoblastic response in mediastinal and mandibular lymphnodes and spleen is also seen. In the absence of any pathogens, this massive inflammatory disease, together with overexpression of major histocompatibility complex class I and II proteins and overproduction of immunoglobulins by lymphocytes, offers circumstantial evidence for an autoimmune etiology.

Other public policies promoted by the FDA and others include increasing public knowledge of the relationship between diet and health; promoting unified food and nutrition policies among all government agencies; educating the American consumer about sound dietary practices; and encouraging the development of technologies that may result in more healthful, more abundant, and more affordable foods.

The cytokine repertoire expressed by MRL-lpr/lpr mice was skewed towards the over-production of IFN gamma (and away from IL-4) when compared to that of MRL-+/-/+/- and BALB/c mice. With increasing age and disease severity, the ratio of IFN gamma: IL-4 secreting cells rose in MRL-lpr/lpr mice but decreased in normal animals. This changing ratio of IFN gamma: IL-4 secreting cells correlated with changes in the ratio of IgG2a: IgG1 secreting cells in these mice. Our findings suggest that cytokine secreting CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells are hyperactivated in young MRL-lpr/lpr mice, and that disease progression is associated with a disruption in the normal ratio of Thl: Th2 production in vivo.

The estimation procedure introduced by MALANI and VAN RYZIN (1988), which can result in a negative estimate of the tumor incidence rate, is modified by employing a numerical method to maximize the likelihood function iteratively, under the constraint that the tumor incidence rate is nonnegative. With the new procedure, estimates can be obtained even if sacrifices occur anywhere within an interval. The resulting estimates have reduced standard error and give more power to the test of two heterogeneous groups. Furthermore, a linear contrast of more than two groups can be tested using our procedure. The proposed estimation and testing methods are illustrated with an experimental data set.

It is shown for the BD simulation that when a transition of the dihedral angle in the center of the chain occurs, a transition of a particular next nearest neighbor (or angle 2-apart) will follow concertedly with a probability of approximately 0.10 within a time window of approximately 3 ps. The MD bilayer simulations, which are based on a more flexible model of the hydrocarbon chains, yield corresponding concerted transition probabilities of approximately 0.083 and window sizes of 1-2 ps. An analysis of angles 4-apart yields concerted transition probabilities of 0.03 and 0.04 for the ED and MD bilayer simulations, respectively, and window sizes close to those of the corresponding 2-apart cases. Statistical hypothesis testing very strongly rejects the assertion that these follower transitions are occurring at random. Similar analysis reveals marginal ol no evidence of concertedness between 1-apart (nearest neighbor) and between 3-apart dihedral angle transitions. The pattern of concertedness for hexadecane is qualitatively similar to that of the lipid chains, although concertedness is somewhat stronger for the 3-apart transitions and somewhat weaker for those 4-apart. Finally, it is suggested that the diffusion of small solute molecules in membranes is better facilitated by nonconcerted transitions, which are associated with relatively large displacements of the chains, than by concerted transitions, which do little to change the chain shape.

On patterned substrates (parallel lines, 5-10 mu m width), the neuroblastoma cells developed bipolar morphology with long neuritic processes (similar to 200 mu m) in the presence of retinoic acid. Hippocampal neurons cultured on substrates of hexagonal patterns extended their neurites preferentially along the circumferences of the hexagons and formed geometrically well defined network structures.

One case that is often troublesome is the subcloning of cDNA clones from lambda gt11 phage into plasmid vectors. In situations where several clones hale been isolated, time could be saved by a means of assessing insert size and sequence unambiguously without subcloning, particularly where degenerate PCR or low-stringency hybridization approaches are taken to identify multiple members of a gene family. We describe a simple and reliable strategy for efficient sequencing of small amounts of lambda phage DNA, lysates or individual phage plaques. The strategy combines the advantages of universal lambda phage primers, rapid air thermal cycling, streptavidin magnetic bend capture of highly purified single-stranded templates and the unparalleled clarity of T7 DNA polymerase sequence. I We routinely obtain 350-500 bases of unambiguous sequence from each reaction. Ir takes only hours from lifting phage plaques to finishing the sequencing reactions. The method provides an alternative to thermal rmnI cycle sequencing that has comparable sensitivity and affords sequence data of much higher clarity. C1 US FDA,CBER,HFM 527,ROCKVILLE,MD 20852.

Although house-to-house vaccination provides nearly universal coverage, countries have been reluctant to use this approach because it is considered more costly and logistically difficult. To quantify the cost-effectiveness of both these strategies, we compared the vaccine coverage and vaccination costs per child for house-to-house and fixed-site delivery in a mass campaign in Egypt. While personnel and total costs were higher in house-to-house delivery (38% and 13% higher, respectively), the costs per child vaccinated were similar. This was due primarily to the high coverage levels achieved in house-to-house delivery (100% versus 86%) and the reduced vaccine wastage. Vaccinating children al highest risk of infection was only 25-50% as expensive on a per child basis using house-to-house delivery, since such children were less likely to visit fixed sites, These findings may not be generalizable to other countries where labour costs are higher and the population density lower; however, house-to-house delivery may prove to be the most cost-effective eradication strategy by ensuring universal access to immunization.

We investigated the metabolism of mixtures of PAHs and a tetracyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, chrysene, by the filamentous fungus, Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 36112. Cunninghamella elegans metabolized a mixture of PAHs including the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, and acenaphthene completely to hydroxylated intermediates within 24 h. The metabolites from the PAH mixtures were similar to those formed in earlier studies of individual PAH compounds. In separate experiments with chrysene, C. elegans metabolized about 45% of the [5,6,11, 12-C-14]chrysene added to cultures during 144 h incubation. The two major metabolites of chrysene were separated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and identified by ultraviolet-visible, mass spectral, and H-1-nuclear magnetic resonance techniques as sulfate conjugates of 2,8-dihydroxychrysene and 2-hydroxychrysene. The two major metabolites accounted for about 33% of the total metabolism. The formation of sulfate conjugates of phenolic chrysene metabolites acid glucoside conjugates and hydroxylated products of PAH mixtures by C, elagans may be a detoxification step, because these types of products are generally less toxic than the parent compound.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the disposition of an amount of intraperitoneally injected pristane that would conventionally be used in a tumor induction protocol. The distribution of H-3-labeled pristane in various tissues was monitored by liquid scintillation counting at different times after injection. The data show that pristane is present in the blood and detectable in all tested tissues during an observation period of one to 64 days. The levels of pristane fluctuate in some tissues such as lymph node and bone marrow but show a clear tendency to accumulate in others such as liver, spleen and kidney. Evidence is also presented for the in vivo metabolism of pristane based on the observed urinary excretion of tritium and on the high levels of radioactivity in the gall bladder fluid. It is concluded that intraperitoneally administered pristane is distributed throughout the mouse and is stored in tissues in sufficient amounts to allow interactions with the cells residing there.

Current approaches to the development and marketing approval of drugs to prevent cancer are described by a Working Group from the National Cancer Institute and the Food and Drug Administration. A strategy is presented that identifies candidate drugs, with examples that illustrate how drugs are characterized for efficacy through in vitro transformation modulation and mechanistic assays, and in vivo tumor modulation models of carcinogenesis. Requirements and recommendations for safety evaluation in toxicology testing are given, and the evaluation of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug effects and potential surrogate end point biomarkers in Phase I trials are discussed. Appropriate subject populations are identified. Phase II trials should emphasize the evaluation of surrogate end point biomarkers that are highly correlated with cancer incidence and may serve as an estimate of cancer incidence reduction. In Phase III trials the interim analysis of a validated surrogate end point of cancer incidence may facilitate timely and cost-effective marketing of efficacious drugs.

Objective: To determine the distribution of HIV-1 genomic DNA within the brains of three deceased AIDS patients by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Study design: The brains of three deceased AIDS patients were examined. Two brains had limited neuropathologic findings (brains I and II), and one brain (brain III) showed primary HIV-specific neuropathologic damage. Tissues were taken from different locations within each brain, and high molecular weight DNA isolated from the tissues was assessed for HIV-1 genomic DNA by PCR. Results: HIV-1 genomic DNA was found in all three brains, but the amount was low: order of magnitude of 1 viral genome per 1,000 cells. Multiple PCR analyses of DNA from brain I showed that the viral genomic DNA in this brain was non-uniformly distributed; only samples taken from the brainstem were clearly positive for HIV-1. HIV-1 genomic DNA in brain II was found in portions of the lower and upper hemispheres. All but one of the brain III samples were clearly positive for HIV-1, and they had been taken from locations spread throughout this brain. Conclusions: Our results suggest that in early or latent stages of HIV-infection of the brain, viral genomic DNA is localized at restricted regions. At later stages this DNA is distributed C1 GSF FORSCHUNGSZENTRUM UMWELT & GESUNDHEIT,INST SAUGETIERGENET,NEUHERBERG,GERMANY.

A straight forward algorithm is provided for the evaluation of the performance of the FPBB approximations to the asymptotic posterior distributions. Monte Carlo simulation is used to construct confidence interval estimates based on the FPBB method and to (graphically) demonstrate the performance of the FPBB method in approximating the asymptotic posterior distributions of functions of ratios using Efron's (1982) Law School data. The results of the Monte Carlo investigations indicate that the FPBB based interval estimates compare favorably with the usual large-sample Bayesian interval estimates even for moderate bootstrap samples.

However, excessive intakes of nutrients are well documented to cause adverse effects. This review focuses on methods that may be useful for identifying chronic intakes that result in adverse effects and for identifying intakes that provide a reasonable margin of safety from these effects. Groups responsible for nutrition and health policy must establish effective criteria for establishing safety limits, for validating end points, and determination of data acceptability. These criteria are needed to minimize toxicity while maximizing potential health benefits of exaggerated nutrient intake.

A differential polymerase chain reaction (DPCR) technique has been utilized to isolate and characterize eukaryotic genes regulated by uptake of Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella flexneri, and Salmonella typhimurium. Most of the gene fragments that have been isolated show no homology with known genes, suggesting some of them may be novel. However, gene fragment WS17-B5/6 exhibited extensive homology with the gene for mitogen activated protein kinase phosphatase, a gene product that dephosphorylates mitogen activated protein kinase. Transcriptional regulation of some eukaryotic genes as determined from the respective DPCR gene fragment profiles appears to be a result of uptake of bacteria via general phagocytosis. This group includes the gene for mitogen activated protein kinase phosphatase (although there was greater transcriptional activation when exposed to specific intracellular pathogenic bacteria) and the gene represented by fragment WS13-B9/9. Another group of eukaryotic genes appeared to have more selectivity regarding their regulation. For example, gene fragment WS10-B4/14 was downregulated following infection by L. monocytogenes and S. flexneri, but not by Escherichia coli strain HB101, S. typhimurium, or latex beads. These results indicate that eukaryotic transcriptional regulation could be in part mediated by events within the host cell that are triggered in response to the of uptake and/or intracellular survival of specific pathogens and that cross-talk between pathogen and host cell likely has common as well as species-specific signals.

Because this organism is difficult to depurate from shellfish we examined several strains by electron microscopy (EM) to identify the presence of adherence factors. EM showed 3.5 nm flexible, fibrillar surface structures composed of linear strands, multiple strand bundles or wiry aggregates, morphologically similar to the pH 6 antigen expressed by Yersinia pestis. EM of a crude fibrillar extract (CFE) and partially purified fibrillar extract (PFE) shelved single filaments and filaments in bundles. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the PFE contained two proteins of approximately 15 and 20 kDal. Like the pH 6 antigen of Y. pestis, bacterial cells, the CFE, and the PFE agglutinated sheep red blood cells. The PFE was found to be fi ee of hemolytic and proteolytic activity Hemagglutination (HA) activity was observed after growth on Thiaproline-NaCl-Glutamate-Agar (TCGA) at pH 6 or 8, 30 degrees C, and under microaerophilic or aerobic conditions. V. vulnificus grown at pH 7.4, or at 17 or 37 degrees C, or under anaerobic conditions did not show HA activity. Seventy percent of 52 strains in our culture collection, representing isolates from clinical, seafood, and environmental sources, displayed HA activity. These results indicate that the previously unrecognized fibrillar surface structure expressed by V. vulnificus shares some biological characteristics with the pH 6-Ag of Yersinia pestis.

SE gastroenteritis is characterized by nausea vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. The pathogen produces cytotonic and cytotoxic factors but the mechanisms of the gastrointestinal disease are not well understood. A toxin capable of elongating Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in tissue culture was extracted by lysing the SE cells with polymyxin B, and was purified by sequential gelfiltration with Sephacryl S-200, hydrophobic interaction chromatography with phenyl-Sepharose CL-IB, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The toxin has a molecular weight of 62,000 by SDS-PAGE, and an isoelectric point of 6.9. The toxin is not neutralized by antibodies to cholera toxin (CT). The toxin is heat labile, sensitive to proteases, and its activity is not inhibited by any of the gangliosides that block activities of CT and the heat-labile toxins (LTs) of Escherichia coli. Elongation of CHO cells was not accompanied by an increase in the levels of cyclic AMP. The toxin induced intestinal fluid accumulation in suckling mice. Genetic analysis showed that natural and synthetic probes based on CT and LT genes did not react with the SE DNA. Results indicate that the SE enterotoxin is quite different from CT, LTs and the enterotoxin of Salmonella typhimurium.

Several gene families involved in this process have been identified. Here we focus on the Xenopus fork head domain gene family. One of its members, XFKH1/Pintallavis/ XFD1, has been shown previously to be involved in axial formation, and the expression patterns of the other family members discussed below suggest that they too play a major role in the initial steps of patterning and axial organization. In this report, we describe four Xenopus fork head genes (XFKH3, 4, 5, and 6) and analyze the distribution of their transcripts during early development. XFKH3 is expressed in developing somites but not notochord, XFKH4 in forebrain, anterior retina, and neural crest cells, and XFKH5 in a subset of epidermal cells and the neural floor plate. Finally, transcripts of XFKH6 are seen in neural crest-derived cranial ganglia. In addition, we show that at least some of the zebrafish fork head genes might serve a comparable function. Zebrafish zf-FKH1 has a similar expression pattern as Xenopus XFKH1/Pintallavis/ XFD1. It is transcribed in the notochord and neural floor plate. The polster or ''pillow'' also shows very high levels of zf-FKH1 mRNA. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. C1 US FDA,CTR BIOL EVALUAT & RES,DIV CELLULAR & GENE THERAPY,DEV BIOL LAB,BETHESDA,MD 20892.

In this study we have examined the types of mutations induced in the hprt gene of TG(r) lymphocyte clones from female fischer 344 rob exposed to 100 mg/kg N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). Hprt exons 3 and 8 were amplified from DNA extracted from each of 249 clones, and the resulting products were screened for mutant:wild-type heteroduplex formation by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. The analysis revealed 59 clones with mutations in exon 3, and 20 clones with mutations in exon 8. DNA sequence analysis of the heteroduplexes identified 84 mutations. all of the mutations were bose pair substitutions, and 88% were mutations of A:T base pairs. At least 82% were induced independently. These results suggest that the mutations found in TG(r) rat lymphocytes from ENU-treated rats were due mainly to ethylthymidine adducts. In addition, a comparison of these results with previously reported in vivo ENU mutational profiles indicates that the types of mutation detected by heteroduplex screening of rat hprt exons 3 and 8 are representative of mutation in the entire protein coding sequence.

Twenty-two of these mutants produced single cDNA PCR products with a partial or complete exon deletion; 19 mutants produced multiple cDNA PCR products, and most of these products contained one or more deleted exons. The affected exons and surrounding introns were amplified from genomic DNA and sequenced in order to identify mutations causing aberrant splicing. We found acceptor site mutations in 14 mutants, donor site mutations in 10 mutants, exonic mutations in 8 mutants, and no mutations in 5 mutants. Four mutants from solvent controls did not amplify the appropriate exons and were considered genomic deletion muta nts. Our previous work [Manjanatha MG et al. (1994): Mutat Res 308;65-75] showed that nonsense mutants in the hprt gene of CHO cells are associated with multiple cDNA PCR products containing deleted exons and a low abundance of hprt mRNA if the mutation is found in an internal exon. The present results are consistent with these associations being facilitated by instability of mRNA after ribosome termination at nonsense codons. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

In the first part of the report, principles for evaluating the safety of residues of veterinary drugs in food and for establishing Acceptable Daily Intakes and Maximum Residue Limits for such residues are elaborated. In particular, risk assessment procedures use by the Committee, the application of safety factors, the assessment of microbiological risk due to residues of antimicrobial drugs in food, and the problem of residues at the injection site are discussed. The information required by the Committee in investigating the human food safety of residues of veterinary drugs is also listed. A summary follows of the Committee's evaluations and toxicological and residue data on an anthelminthic (levamisole), five antimicrobial agents (chloramphenicol, flumequine, olaquindox, spectinomycin and sulfadimidine), an antiprotozoal agent (ronidazole), a glucocorticosteroid (dexamethasone) and a trypanocide (diminazene). For each drug, an Acceptable Daily Intake and Maximum Residue Limits for certain edible animal products are recommended, as appropriate, or deficiencies in the available data are identified and requirements for further information specified.

Although the rarity and heterogeneity of autoimmune diseases and the lack of understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms have inhibited progress in the field, genes encoding histocompatibility molecules, immunoglobulins, complement components, peptide transporter proteins, T-cell receptors, sex hormones, cytokines, and metabolic enzymes important in drug and toxin elimination, have been identified as risk factors for one or more autoimmune diseases. Novel molecular genetic techniques and epidemiologic approaches that subset diseases by demographics, clinical manifestations, serology, and environmental-exposures, should further elucidate the environmental and genetic risk factors for these increasingly recognized multifactorial disorders.

Impurities were removed by passing the extract through a C-8 or C-18 reversed-phase solid-phase extraction column. The free glutamic acid was derivatized with phenylisothiocyanate, and the derivative was separated by HPLC with detection at 254 nm. Free glutamic acid levels ranged from not found (< 20 ppm) in some spices to as high as 89% in another spice.

A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method using a packed column has been developed for quantitative measurement of total fat and saturated fat in foods. Fatty acids are released from food matrices by acid hydrolysis, and then extracted, esterified to their methyl esters and determined by GLC. Total fat and saturated fat are calculated in accordance with the new definitions of these components. Fat content determined by the acid hydrolysis-GLC methodology was compared with fat content determined by a direct AOAC gravimetric method for 23 food products containing between about 1 and 75% fat by weight. For all food products studied, the relationship between the results obtained by the two methods was best described by a straight line that had a correlation coefficient of 0.94. Results of repeated extractions and analysis of a milk-based infant formula (SRM 1846) suggest that this material may be useful as a quality control standard.

One vector, pGal9, was designed for the insertion of foreign genes with their own promoter; a second vector, pGa110, was designed for the insertion of coding sequences downstream from the HSV immediate-early 110K promoter. The 110K promoter directed efficient expression of foreign genes, particularly in replication-incompetent virus recombinants, as shown by the expression of the lacZ and IFN alpha genes. These vectors should be useful for the characterization of various promoters for gene delivery, and for the efficient expression of foreign genes in a variety of cell types.

In 1990, FDA issued the first regulation for the use of a recombinant DNA-produced food ingredient, fermentation-derived chymosin (rennet). In 1992, FDA published a policy statement that explains how foods and animal feeds derived from new plant varieties developed by both conventional and new breeding techniques are regulated under the Act. The 1992 policy provides ''guidance to industry'' that establishes a standard of care for ensuring safety and wholesomeness. This discussion summarizes FDA's policy and illustrates how the policy was applied by the agency in reaching decisions on chymosin and on the Flavr Savr tomato.

Oxygen electrodes were installed in flow-through chambers in the tubing of the perfusion system. The signal from the O-2 electrodes was digitized, acquired, analyzed and displayed in realtime during the perfusions using a personal computer. Output from the O-2 electrodes was linearly proportional to pO(2) (33-502 mm Hg; r(2) = 0.99). Running average pO(2) values (mean +/- SD) were also calculated for every minute and stored. The captured data files can be recalled and analyzed after completion of the perfusion experiment and compared with other data collected during perfusion. One of the unique capabilities of the pO(2) electrodes is their ability to respond rapidly to changing perfusion conditions. For example, as the fetal circulation begins to break down the change is noted before volume loss in the fetal circuit by decreasing fetal vein pO(2).

An acetone-acetonitrile mixture is used to initially extract OPPs from milk and infant formula samples, followed by partition of the analytes into dichloromethane (DCM). Dichloromethane is removed on a rotary evaporator and the residue taken up in acetonitrile (ACN) for cleanup on a C-18 (octadecylsiloxane bonded silica) (SPE) cartridge. ACN eluate is evaporated under nitrogen and the residue taken up in acetone for GC-FPD determination. Initial studies showed mean recoveries for 28 of 29 OPPs in whole milk fortified at 0.10 ppm ranged between 69 and 99% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.0-9.7%. Whole/chocolate/skim-milk and four infant formula products fortified at 0.02 ppm gave mean recoveries of 64-103 % with RSDs between 1.9 and 20.9 % for 24 of 29 OPPs. Excluding skim milk, recoveries for Dichlorvos, Methamidophos, Mevinphos E, and Acephate ranged between 47 and 89%. Sample extracts were extremely clean and posed no difficulty to the GC system. The procedure is faster and less costly than Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) procedures and allows for determination of a broad spectrum of OPPs.

To substantiate or refute the possibility that specific subsets of mtDNAs could participate in disease expression, we took advantage of the heterogeneous ethnic origin of the Cuban population and the recent identification of a number of mtDNA polymorphisms that appear to be specific for Africans, Native Americans, and Europeans. The screening of both carefully selected people with epidemic neuropathy and control subjects from the Pinar del Rio Province for these polymorphisms revealed that African, Native American, and European mtDNA haplotypes were equally represented among case and control subjects, and suggested that similar to 50% of Cuban mtDNAs originated from Europeans, 46% from Africans, and 4% from Native Americans. These findings demonstrate that mutations arising in specific mtDNAs are unlikely to play a role in the epidemic neuropathy and indicate that analysis of mtDNA haplotypes can be a valuable tool for assessing the relative maternal contribution of Africans, Native Americans, and Europeans in a mixed population.

These assays can determine such analytes in a variety of matrices and provide rapid analyses of a large number of test samples. Commercial immunochemical test kits are often evaluated on the basis of sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, cost, time stability, and ease of use. Laboratory quality assurance checks, such as standard curves and positive controls, are essential. It is also important to differentiate interferences due to matrix effects from high levels of analyte. The criteria for interpretation of results from yes/no test and quantitative tests are presented, as well as results of collaborative studies of immunochemical methods for aflatoxins and zearalenone in grains and grain products and surveillance findings obtained by using these methods for aflatoxins, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, and fumonisins. Some of the criteria used to evaluate mycotoxin immunoassay procedures and experience in using them as surveillance tools can serve as models for similar approaches to the determination of pesticide residues in foods.

The B7 receptors, CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2), on the Ag-presenting cell (APC), interact with T-cell CD28 or CTLA-4 to deliver a costimulatory signal, which is particularly important for Th1 activation. Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an autoimmune disorder, induced by Th1 cells directed against myelin antigens that provides an in vivo model for studying the role of B7-mediated costimulation in the induction of a pathological immune response. Using a soluble fusion protein ligand for the B7 receptors, as well as specific monoclonal antibodies specific for either CD80 or CD86, it has been demonstrated that B7 costimulation plays a prominent role in determining clinical disease outcome in EAE. Here we review recent data indicating that a paradoxical exacerbation of disease as well as the expected amelioration of disease can occur with costimulatory receptor blockade. C1 US FDA,BETHESDA,MD.

Attempts to produce an animal model for halothane hepatitis have been largely unsuccessful. Although guinea pigs produce neoantigens following treatment with halothane, the subsequent antibody response is weak, possibly accounting for the failure to produce halothane hepatitis in these animals. In order to increase the antibody response to halothane neoantigens, three methods for trifluoroacetylating proteins were used. Guinea pigs were either treated with S-ethylthiotrifluoroacetate, autologous lymphocytes trifluoroacetylated ex vivo, or immunized with trifluoroacetylated mycobacterial protein, followed by exposure to halothane, and examined for anti-halothane metabolite antibodies (anti-TEA antibodies). Animals treated with S-ethylthiotrifluoroacetate developed anti-TEA antibodies, and following exposure to halothane exhibited an enhanced antibody response. Treatment with trifluoroacetylated lymphocytes also resulted in an enhanced anti-TEA antibody response following halothane exposure. Immunization with trifluoroacetylated mycobacterial proteins resulted in very high anti-TFA antibody titers. However, subsequent exposure to halothane had no observable effect on specific antibody titers. Exposure to halothane, regardless of treatment, resulted in the production of anti-microsomal protein antibodies. Signs of halothane hepatitis were not observed, indicating that enhancement of the humoral immune response does not appear to be sufficient for production of halothane hepatitis.

This mutant, Rif 7, was avirulent with an intraperitoneally administered 50% lethal dose greater than 10(7) CFU in a murine model of infection. Exposure of Rif 7 to heat stress for 5 h in vitro resulted in a 2-log decrease in its 50% lethal dose (P < 0.02). The increase in virulence was dependent on the time of exposure to high temperature and was maximal at 5 h. Envelope preparations from heat-stressed cells showed increased levels of several proteins. Notable among these were polypeptides with approximate molecular masses of 16, 60, and 75 kDa. Increases in both virulence and envelope protein levels were reversed when heat-treated cells were subsequently grown at 37 degrees C. Inhibition of protein synthesis by actinomycin D during heat stress blocked the increase in virulence of Rif 7. Cell-free media from the heat-stressed Rif 7 culture or killed heat-stressed cells were not toxic to mice. Hyperimmune serum against Rif 7 reacted with the whole spectrum of bacterial proteins in Western blots (immunoblots), although its reaction with 34- and 45-kDa proteins and two 60- and 75-kDa proteins upregulated during heat stress was weak Other stress conditions, low iron and low pH, caused similar increases in the virulence of Rif 7. However, examination of the protein profile did not reveal any major common polypeptides induced by different stresses. Heat-treated Rif 7 bacteria were fully able to replicate in macrophages in vitro and in the host tissues, even though heat treatment only partially restored virulence.

However, the toxic nature of most forms of LPS precludes their use as adjuvants or carriers for human vaccines, 4'-Monophosphoryl lipid A (MLA), a derivative of LPS with attenuated toxicity, is currently being tested in humans as an immunological adjuvant. In this study,MLA was tested for its ability to function as a carrier for a small hapten, the trinitrophenyl group (TNP). MW was first modified by addition of 6-aminocaproic acid to the 6' position of the disaccharide backbone (Cap-MLA). TNP was then attached to Cap-MLA via the free amino group, yielding TNP-Cap-MLA. Immunization of normal mice with TNP-Cap-MLA resulted in high-titer anti-TNP responses of immunoglobulin hi and all immunoglobulin G subclasses. Furthermore MLA, like other T-cell-independent type 1 (TI I) carriers, induced responses in athymic and X-linked immunodeficient mice. In all cases, immunization with either MLA alone or TNP-Cap plus MLA failed to induce measurable anti-TNP antibodies of any isotype, indicating that covalent association of MLA and hapten was necessary for MLA's carrier activity to be manifested.

We isolated defined mutations in two genes, galU and rfe, which directly affect synthesis of the LPS of S. flexneri 2a, in order to determine more precisely the step in virulence at which LPS mutants are blocked. The galU and rfe mutants invaded HeLa cells but failed to generate the membrane protrusions (fireworks) characteristic of intracellular motility displayed by wild-type shigellae. Furthermore, the galU mutant was unable to form plaques on a confluent monolayer of eucaryotic cells and the rfe mutant generated only tiny plaques. These observations indicated that the mutants,were blocked in their ability to spread from cell to cell. Western immunoblot analysis of expression of IcsA, the protein essential for intracellular motility and intercellular spread, demonstrated that both mutants synthesized IcsA, although they secreted less of the protein to the extracellular medium than did the wild-type parent. More strikingly, the LPS mutants showed aberrant surface localization of IcsA. Unlike the unipolar localization of IcsA seen in the wild-type parent, the galU mutant expressed the protein in a circumferential fashion. The rfe mutant had an intermediate phenotype in that it displayed some localization of IcsA at one pole while also showing diffuse localization around the bacterium. Given the known structures of the LPS of wild-type S. flexneri 2a, the rfe mutant, and the galU mutant, we hypothesize that the core and O-antigen components of LPS are critical elements in the correct unipolar localization of IcsA. These observations indicate a more precise role for LPS in Shigella pathogenesis. C1 UNIFORMED SERV UNIV HLTH SCI,F EDWARD HEBERT SCH MED,DEPT MICROBIOL & IMMUNOL,BETHESDA,MD 20814.

These properties included vertical and adiabatic ionization potential, LUMO energy, the LUMO-HOMO difference, molecular hardness, absolute electronegativity, calculated log P values, molecular volume, surface area, and ovality. Substrate oxidation rates (log k(cat)/K-m) were found to correlate with molecular ovality and vertical ionization potential while the rate of enzymatic (flavin) reduction associated with substrate oxidation (log k(red)) was described by a two-parameter model containing an ovality and an absolute electronegativity term. These results are consistent with an initial one-electron substrate oxidation mechanism. In previous work, use of classical Hansch analysis suggested that electronic terms were not important in the enzymatic reactions. This discrepancy may be related nontransferability inherent in fragment approaches which assume that the substituent of interest behaves similarly in all molecular scaffolds. Analysis of substrate binding (log K-d) to the enzyme was described by a two-parameter model containing a calculated log P term as well as LUMO energy. The significant correlation found with LUMO energy is consistent with studies suggesting that this property is important for drug-receptor interactions. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The treatments used in these trials were zidovudine, dideoxyinosine, dideoxycytosine, and one combination for patients with CD4 cell counts <500 cells/mm3. Patients in each trial are partitioned into two subgroups based on their baseline CD4 cell counts: patients with CD4 less than or equal to 50 cells/mm(3) and patients with CD4 >50 cells/mm(3). The difference between treatment effects, using survival as a measure of effect, within each subgroup is calculated separately for each trial; this difference is referred to as ''subgroup response.'' For each trial the difference between the subgroup responses is calculated and standardized. A meta-analysis is conducted over all seven trials for the differences between subgroup responses; the consistency of responses is evaluated across all trials among patients within baseline CD4 subgroups. Based on the result of this meta-analysis we conclude that there is no evidence that the treatment effects in patients with CD4 less than or equal to 50 cells/mm(3) are different from those among patients with CD4 >50 cellsimm3. This result is observed in patients with different antiviral experience and different baseline characteristics. Risk ratios as well as chi(2) statistics are used to quantify the response rates in different subgroups. Kaplan-Meier curves of survival for these trials are depicted for all patients and each subgroup separately. In most of the trials the Kaplan-Meier curves for the patients with CD4 less than or equal to 50 cells/mm(3) resemble those for all patients. This finding implies that most of the clinical events, and therefore statistical power, in the analyses of these trials came from patients with CD4 less than or equal to 50 cells/mm(3). Therefore, the exclusion of patients with CD4 less than or equal to 50 cells/mm(3) may result in prolonged and/or larger clinical trials.

The survey also solicited opinions on analytical methods for nutrition labeling, quality control, and nutrition research. The survey finds that dietary fiber is generally defined as polysaccharides and lignin that are not hydrolyzed by human alimentary enzymes. Support is strong for expansion of the definition to include oligosaccharides that are resistant to hydrolysis by human alimentary enzymes. Among techniques for nutrition labeling and quality control, enzymatic-gravimetric methods get the highest support. For nutrition research, more detailed methods such as gas-liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography were considered more appropriate. Respondents support labeling of total, soluble, and insoluble dietary fiber or total dietary fiber alone as sufficient for nutrition labeling of food packages. However, for nutrition research, detailed analytical methods, improvements in accuracy (i.e., closer simulation of in vitro techniques to conditions of human gastrointestinal tract), and improvements in precision and simplicity are suggested. Less than 20% of the participants use reference materials for dietary fiber analysis. C1 US FDA,DIV PROGRAMS & ENFORCEMENT POLICY,WASHINGTON,DC 20204.

Results can be reproduced by different operators and in different locations, The analysis can be performed without electricity or in a remote area, away from a laboratory, It is especially suited for field use in developing countries, The method is low cost, maintenance-free, fast, and reliable; it also uses limited volumes of solvents. The analyses can be performed without weighing if reference materials can be supplied in tablet form, provided the drug content is listed and only one unit is required for each analysis. All procedures were developed for the analysis of drugs from a partial list of essential drugs established by the World Health Organization. Three drugs were selected and prepared in the form of reference tablets, Comparisons with the analyses of the drugs in standard dosage forms were made by using reference tablets and primary USP standards, Comparable results were obtained, proving that the screening process can be conducted by using reference tablets and without weighing either the sample or the reference. The method has been successfully demonstrated and used in Swaziland, by high school teachers in the United States, and by personnel from the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia, Personnel can be trained in a short time to perform screening analysis of drugs.

Novobiocin is determined after separation of milk components using reversed-phase chromatography with UV detection at 340 nm. The participating laboratories analyzed 2 concentrations of biologically incurred residues as well as control milk and control milk fortified at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 ppm, Recoveries of novobiocin reported by the participating laboratories were 89 to 99% at 0.05 ppm; 93 to 101% at 0.1 ppm; and 89 to 100% at 0.2 ppm, Coefficients of variation (CVs) ranged from 2.0 to 6.2%, The average concentrations for the low levels of incurred novobiocin in milk samples were 0.073, 0.072, and 0.081 ppm, with intralaboratory CVs of 3.3, 7.2, and 2.4%, respectively, The samples with high levels of incurred novobiocin averaged 0.139, 0.121, and 0.144 ppm, with CVs of 6.2, 0.7, and 4.7%, respectively.

The genes responsible for the synthesis and expression of the polysialic acid capsule of E. call K1 are located on the 17-kb kps gene cluster, which is functionally divided into three regions. Central region 2 encodes proteins necessary for the synthesis, activation, and polymerization of sialic acid, while flanking regions 1 and 3 are involved in polymer transport to the cell surface. In this study, we identified two genes at the proximal end of region 2, neuD and neuB, which encode proteins with predicted sizes of 22.7 and 38.7 kDa, respectively. Several observations suggest that the neuB gene encodes sialic acid synthase. EV24, a neuB chromosomal mutant that expresses a capsule when provided exogenous sialic acid, could be complemented in trans by the cloned neuB gene. In addition, NeuB has significant sequence similarity to the product of the cpsB gene of Neisseria meningitidis group B, which is postulated to encode sialic acid synthase. We also present data indicating that neuD has an essential role in K1 polymer production. Cells harboring pSR426, which contains all of region 2 but lacks region 1 and 3 genes, produce an intracellular polymer. In contrast, no polymer accumulated in cells carrying a derivative of pSR426 lacking a functional neuD gene. Unlike strains with mutations in neuB, however, neuD mutants are not complemented by exogenous sialic acid, suggesting that NeuD is not involved in sialic acid synthesis. Additionally, cells harboring a mutation in neuD accumulated sialic acid and CMP-sialic acid. We also found no significant differences between the endogenous and exogenous sialyltransferase activities of a neuD mutant and the wild-type organism. NeuD shows significant similarity to a family of bacterial acetyltransferases, leading to the theory that NeuD is an acetyltransferase which may exert its influeuce through modification of other region 2 proteins.

We quantitatively compared the amounts of antigen produced and examined the expression of O-acetyl epitopes from 35 strains of T. beigelii isolated from deep and superficial infections. By counterimmunoelectrophoresis, 10 of 10 isolates from deep infections were positive for polysaccharide, compared with 7 of 13 isolates from superficial infections (P = 0.02). All 23 strains tested were positive for polysaccharide when screened by immunodot, By enzyme immunoassay, the cross-reactive antigen produced by deep isolates (n = 9) had a mean titer of 1:5,500, In contrast, superficial isolates (n = 22) produced significantly less antigen than the deep isolates (P < 0.001), with a mean titer of 1:700, Isolates from environmental sources (n = 3) were similar to the superficial isolates, with a mean titer of 1:600, The mean concentrations +/- standard errors of cross-reactive polysaccharide released by deep isolates and superficial isolates were 3.09 +/- 0.44 and 1.74 +/- 0.30 mu g/ml, respectively, when measured by rocket immunoelectrophoresis (P = 0.02), O-Acetyl epitopes were detected on polysaccharide from 8 of 9 strains of T. beigelii isolated from deep sources, while only 2 of 12 superficial isolates expressed detectable O-acetyl epitopes (P = 0.01), Thus, while all isolates of T. beigelii tested were capable of producing glucuronoxylomannan-like cross-reactive antigen, pathogenic isolates produced significantly more antigen than superficial or environmental isolates, Furthermore, significantly more pathogenic isolates than superficial or environmental isolates expressed antigen that was O acetylated.

In this report, we show that a 624-bp deletion in the promoter of the HSV-2 LAT had no discernable effect on viral growth in tissue culture or in acute genital infection of guinea pigs, but impaired LAT accumulation and led to a marked decrease in spontaneous genital recurrences when compared with the behavior of wild-type and rescuant strains. Differences in the ability of the mutant to replicate, or in how readily it established or maintained latency did not account for this finding. Thus, HSV LAT expression facilitates the spontaneous reactivation of latent virus. C1 UNIV CINCINNATI,COLL MED,CHILDRENS HOSP RES FDN,DEPT PEDIAT,DIV INFECT DIS,CINCINNATI,OH 45229.

Various foods inoculated with known levels of enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 (EHEC) were tested by enrichment for 6 h at 37 degrees C in modified tryptic soy broth (mTSB) base supplemented with vancomycin, cefsulodin and cefixime, referred to as EHEC enrichment broth (EEB). Subsequently, portions were spread-plated on sorbitol-MacConkey agar supplemented with tellurite and cefixime (TCSMAC). Further selective enrichment was also examined using immunomagnetic separation (IMS) from the EEB prior to spread-plating on TCSMAC agar. These methods were compared to a procedure of enrichment in mTSB (supplemented with novobiocin) at 37 degrees C for 24 h followed by spread-plating of decimal dilutions on hemorrhagic colitis 4-methylumbelliferyl-B-D-glucuronide (HC-MUG) agar. The new enrichment isolation technique was found to be sensitive at a level of one EHEC organism per 10 g of food in four food types. This represents an approximate 100-fold to 1,000-fold enhancement in sensitivity over the comparative method for foods with high levels of competitive microflora. These enrichment-isolation protocols also were compared in analysis of naturally contaminated raw or undercooked ground beef samples implicated in foodborne illness. EEB-TCSMAC with and without IMS were combined with rapid biochemical tests, and with O157 latex agglutination and confirmation of toxin genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to provide a completed test within 30 h of initiating testing. The new system was successful in 15 of 17 samples, where only 6 of 17 were found positive by the comparative technique. C1 US FDA, SEAFOOD PROD RES CTR, BOTHELL, WA 98041 USA.

Because many genes, including MHC class II Ags, transcriptionally activated by IFN-gamma require the tyrosine phosphorylation of the transcription factor p91 (Stat1), we examined whether IC could suppress IFN-gamma-induced expression of the Fc gamma receptor I gene (Fc gamma RI) in human monocytes and whether this occurred through inhibition of p91 phosphorylation. Preincubation of monocytes on gamma-globulin-coated dishes resulted in a 80% reduction in steady state levels of RNA for the Fc gamma RI gene. Nuclear run-on analysis confirmed that the inhibition was at the level of transcription. Treatment with IC resulted in no change in the IFN-gamma receptor number. In monocytes pretreated with IC, there was a 79% reduction in the formation of FcRF gamma, a p91-containing DNA binding protein complex that is rapidly activated by IFN-gamma, and which recognizes the gamma response region enhancer within the promoter of the Fc gamma RI gene. Furthermore, there was a marked reduction in the tyrosine phosphorylation of p91. Pretreatment with IC resulted in the inhibition of the tyrosine phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinases, Jak1 and Jak2, both of which are involved in IFN-gamma signal transduction. Therefore, culture of monocytes on IC inhibits IFN-gamma-induced expression of the Fc gamma RI gene by preventing tyrosine phosphorylation of p91, probably by the associated inhibition of the tyrosine kinases Jak1 and Jak2.

Homotypic aggregation of monocytes was evident 2 h after exposure to virus and was inhibited by mAbs to both the alpha(L)- and beta(2)-subunits of LFA-1. HIV-infected monocytes also showed a marked increase in adherence to human capillary endothelial cell monolayers derived from brain, lung, and skin. This adherence was inhibited by mAb to either LFA-1 subunit and by mAb to the counter-receptor intercellular adhesion molecule-1. Cocultivation of HIV-infected monocytes with endothelial cells increased permeability of endothelial cell monolayers to I-125 albumin in transwell assay systems. The increased endothelial permeability induced by HIV-infected monocytes was associated with a substantial disruption of the endothelial cell monolayer. Morphologic disruption was not a direct toxic effect on endothelial cells, but appeared to be secondary to changes in endothelial cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions. Northern blot analysis showed increased expression of gelatinase B (92-kDa gelatinase), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 in the HIV-infected monocytes. Consistent with these Northern analyses, secretion of gelatinase activity in culture fluids of HIV-infected monocytes was also increased and was dependent on the stage of virus replication. Incubation of HIV-infected monocytes with the proteinase inhibitors TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 inhibited the increased permeability of endothelial cell monolayers to I-125 albumin. These results suggest possible mechanisms for extravasation of HIV-infected monocytes through vascular endothelium into tissue in early stages of HIV disease.

Retinoids regulate cell differentiation and growth by binding to and activating retinoic acid receptors, which seem to be nuclear transcription factors. The effect of retinoids on chronic relapsing EAE produced by the transfer of myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific lymph node cells (LNC) was studied. All-trans-retinoic acid (tRA) inhibited the proliferation of MBP-specific LNC in vitro. However, the capacity of these cells to transfer EAE was markedly reduced by concentrations of tRA that only mildly inhibited T cell proliferation. The presence of tRA during in vitro MB P-specific LNC activation resulted in a considerable increase in IL-4 mRNA, whereas mRNA for IL-2, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma was decreased. Increased IL-4 also was detected in culture supernatants. However, the presence of a neutralizing Ab to IL-4 (11B11) during MBP-specific LNC activation in vitro did not reverse the inhibition of encephalitogenicity caused by tRA. The administration of retinoids in vivo resulted in an improved clinical course, even when given after disease onset. These findings suggest that T cell activation in the presence of tRA results in the development of T cells of the Th2 phenotype, which, in turn, might be responsible for the decrease in the encephalitogenicity of MBP-specific T cells. The modulation by retinoids of an immune response dominated by Th1-like T cells to one in which the protective cytokines of Th2-like cells predominate may have potential relevance for human demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Avermectin was used as an internal standard. Fortified and blank milk samples (5.0 mL) were blended with 2.0 g C-18 (octadecylsilyl derivatized silica) in a syringe barrel. After a 2 minute equilibration, the aqueous phase was removed from the column by vacuum aspiration. The ivermectin residues were eluted from the C-18/milk matrix with ethyl acetate. After further cleanup by silica solid phase extraction, ivermectin derivatives were formed and then quantified by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The recoveries of fortified ivermectin residues (1.0 - 8.0 ppb) averaged 97.7%. The injected extracts are free from matrix interferences making it easy to calculate the amount of residue present.

Ethionine is the hepatocarcinogenic antimetabolite of methionine, and has been found to produce hypomethylation of hepatic DNA when fed to rats in acute doses. The hypomethylation apparently results from the accumulation in the liver of S-adenosylethionine (SAE), the sulfur activation product of ethionine, which is a competitive inhibitor of DNA methylase. Researchers seeking to measure SAM and SAH levels by HPLC in the past have experienced numerous analytical problems because of their separation characteristics. Previous methods have either required two separate HPLC runs or used gradient elution to measure the two compounds. The method outlined here, is an accurate and precise method, that measures SAM and SAH as well as SAE in a single isocratic HPLC run. S-Adenosyl-l-homocysteine sulfoxide (SAHO), the sulfoxide of SAH is known to be formed by spontaneous oxidation of SAH during sample preparation and storage. We have prepared the SAHO using a 4 hour process. Since SAHO is not readily available commercially, the present method could be very beneficial to researchers who need to verify whether SAH oxidation has occurred in analytical samples, or whether oxidation of the SAH has occurred in tissues.

The SPE and vitamins are separated from the acylglycerol by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The GPC system is equipped with a refractive index and ultraviolet (UV) detector (313 nm) to monitor the peak elution. Following collection, the vitamins and SPE are analyzed by C-18 reverse phase chromatography. A ternary gradient of acetonitrile, methylene chloride and isopropanol with evaporative light scattering detection is used for SPE analysis. Vitamin A and beta-carotene are quantitated after isocratic elution with acetonitrile/methylene chloride/methanol (700/300/2, v/v/v) as mobile phase and detection at 313 nm and 436 nm, respectively.

The enzyme inactivation and covalent binding of resorcinol moieties to TPO and the related enzyme, lactoperoxidase (LPO), were consistent with modification of catalytic amino acid residues. Similar inactivation was not observed with horseradish peroxidase, an enzyme that does not use such catalytic amino acid residues. Yeast cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) is an enzyme in which the presence of a catalytic tryptophan residue (No. 191) has been unambiguously identified by site-directed mutagenesis. We report here evidence for suicide inactivation of CcP by resorcinol. In the presence of H2O2, resorcinol causes inactivation of enzymatic activity, loss of visible absorption at 412 nm due to the prosthetic heme group and changes in the electrospray (ES) mass spectrum of CcP. The mass spectrum, derived from maximum entropy transformation of resorcinol-inactivated CcP data, showed molecular mass shifts. The mast prominent shift (Delta M = 135 De) was consistent with addition of one resorcinol moiety and two oxidations of the protein (e.g. Met, Tyr, Trp residues). Additional smaller peaks were observed that could correspond to addition of two, three and four resorcinol units to CcP. The ES mass spectrum of the heme region was consistent with the presence of unmodified protoporphyrin IX (m/z 616) and smaller amounts of resorcinol-modified heme (m/z 724). No such changes in CcP ES mass spectra were observed in the absence of resorcinol or H2O2. These data are consistent with measurements of the covalent binding of radiolabeled resorcinol to CcP that was predominately associated with the polypeptide chain although smaller amounts of binding to the heme were also observed (similar to 5:1). These studies support the proposed mechanism of suicide inactivation for CcP, and also TPO and LPO, and demonstrate the utility of ES mass spectrometry in determining enzymatic mechanisms.

The initial results of the application of these techniques to the study of the myocarditis induced by interleukin-2 (IL-2) are also presented. Antibodies used included: OX6 antibody (for MHC class II molecules, mainly expressed by dendritic cells); W3/25 and OX8 antibody, for the demonstration of the rat equivalents of CD5 and CD8, respectively; asialo-GM(1), ganglioside antibody for the identification of natural killer (NK) cells and lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells, and ED2 antibody for labeling of macrophages. Fluorochromes used were: fluorescein isothiocyanate (green), tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (red), Texas red sulfonyl chloride (red), and 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin-3-acetic acid (blue), IL-2-induced myocarditis was characterized histologically by infiltration of the myocardium by mononuclear inflammatory cells, microvascular alteration, interstitial edema, and myocyte damage and necrosis, In the initial stages, Ng/LAK cells were the predominant type of infiltrating lymphocytes; however, the numbers of these cells decreased sharply in subsequent stages, Macrophages also were initially abundant, and continued to be prevalent throughout the late stages. CD8(+) lymphocytes were more numerous than CD4(+) lymphocytes. Dendritic cells showed a diffuse increase in number and also accumulated around foci of myocyte necrosis. Three phenotypes of dendritic cells were recognized, and the possible implications of these findings are dicussed. It is hoped that these techniques will prove useful for the immunohistochemical evaluation of various inflammatory diseases of the heart.

Antibodies to cp1-10 were produced in all seven strains of congenic mice; none of the strains could be considered low responders relative to the others. The mouse response against individual epitopes of HCV core protein varied from one strain to another: B10.RIII(H-2(r)) recognized all three peptides aa13-30, aa77-90, aa129-145: B10.D2 (H-2(d)), B10(H-2(b)) and C3H.SW (H-2(b)) responded to aa13-30, aa77-90: B10.M (H-2(f)), B10.BR (H-2(k)) and C3H/HeJ (H-2(k)) reacted with aa13-30 only. Competitive inhibition of binding demonstrated that antibody to the peptide was inhibited by cp1-10 protein and the corresponding peptide only. Recombinant HCV core protein is highly immunogenic and can elicit good antibody response in mice. The aa13-30 is a major epitope of HCV core protein in mice. The humoral response to the distinct epitopes was regulated by the H-2 genes. Further analysis indicated that the I-a locus of H-2 genes determined the antibody response to aa13-30 and 77-90. These results suggest that the variation of antibody responses to HCV in humans may partially contribute to different outcomes of HCV infection.

Performance was determined by measuring their useful lifetime, forward transmission, incision depth, and the thermal coagulation thickness at the sides and bottom of the incision. Study Design/Materials, and Methods: Aging was performed with a chicken breast model. Performance measurements were made at periodic intervals. Sapphire scalpels were cooled with air or saline. Results: The air-cooled, frosted sapphire scalpels had the longest useful Lifetime, whereas the saline-cooled, frosted sapphire scalpels had the shortest. Aging deteriorated the forward transmission of the sculpted silica fiber scalpels the most. Little difference was found between the averages of all incision measurements. Two of the saline-cooled, frosted sapphire scalpels fractured during the aging process. Conclusion: Aging influences the scalpel lifetime, but there was no evidence that the aging process significantly affected the incision size. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The present paper reports a quantitative analysis of corneal ablation plumes using in situ time resolved laser light scattering and Raman spectroscopy. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Bovine corneas were used as the ArF excimer laser ablation targets. Light scattering data were recorded from the ablation plume as a function of height above the tissue surface and as function of delay time with respect to the ablative ArF laser pulse. Results: Raman spectra of the ablation plume allow identification of the particles as water. Mean plume particle diameters are found to decrease with height, while the particle volume fractions are relatively constant. The total volume of plume particles correlates well with the total volume of water in the ablated corneal tissue. Conclusion: The finding of a non-evolving plume composed of water spherules, combined with the excellent agreement between total volume of water in the plume and the content of water in the ablated corneal tissue, support the concept of photodecomposition or ''cold ablation'' for corneal tissue during ArF excimer laser ablation.

Approximately 3 mg purified enzyme (specific activity 3300 U mg(-1)) was obtained from 70 g (wet wt) cells. In solution, triosephosphate isomerase (pI 4.0-4.4) was observed to exist as a homodimer (M(r) 57000) of noncovalently linked subunits. The sequence of the first 37 amino acid residues from the NH2-terminus were determined by step-wise Edman degradation. This sequence, and that of a region conserved in all known bacterial triosephosphate isomerases, was used to design oligonucleotide primers for the synthesis of a lactococcal tpi probe by PCR. The probe was used to isolate a molecular clone of tpi from a lambda GEM11 library of L. lactic LM0230 DNA. The nucleotide sequence of tpi predicted a protein of 252 amino acids with the same NH2-terminal sequence as that determined for the purified enzyme and a subunit M(r) of 26802 after removal of the NH2-terminal methionine. Escherichia coli cells harbouring a plasmid containing tpi had 15-fold higher triosephosphate isomerase activity than isogenic plasmid-free cells, confirming the identity of the cloned gene. Northern analysis of L. lactis LM0230 RNA showed that a 900 base transcript hybridized with tpi. The 5' end of the transcript was determined by primer extension analysis to be a G located 64 bp upstream from the tpi start codon. These transcript analyses indicated that in L. lactis, tpi is expressed on a monocistronic transcript. Nucleotide sequencing indicated that the DNA adjacent to tpi did not encode another Embden-Meyerhoff-Parnas pathway enzyme. The location of tpi on the L. lactis DL11 chromosome map was determined to be between map coordinates 1.818 and 1.978. C1 UNIV MELBOURNE,RUSSELL GRIMWADE SCH BIOCHEM,PARKVILLE,VIC 3052,AUSTRALIA.

Countercurrent distribution was used as a model. The simulated chromatograms contain flat-top peaks with steep sides and are consistent with experimental chromatograms in which organic acids in an organic stationary phase are separated by elution with aqueous base. The effects of the pK(a)s, partition ratios (K(D)s), concentrations of the sample acids, and concentrations of the retaining acid and eluting base were investigated. Separations depended on differences in the pK(a)s and K(D)s of the acids, Mixtures of acids with Delta p(K-d/K-D) = 1 were theoretically separated with recoveries of 99% of each acid with greater than or equal to 99% purity, even on a low-efficiency column (275 theoretical plates). These simulations are valuable for predicting and optimizing pH-zone-refining CCC separations. C1 NHLBI,BIOPHYS CHEM LAB,BETHESDA,MD 20892.

The study involved sample portions of 350 mg, 1 g, and 2 g, each with similar to 91% TCF, and a 5-g sample portion containing similar to 64.7% TCF. The separations were achieved with commercially available CCC centrifuges. The two-phase solvent systems used were diethyl ether-acetonitrile-10 mM aqueous ammonium acetate (4:1:5) and methyl tert-butyl ether-acetonitrile-water (4:1:5). Trifluoroacetic acid was added to either the sample solution or the (upper) stationary phase to serve as the retainer acid. Aqueous ammonia was added to the (lower) mobile phase to serve as the eluent base. The TCF separations required relatively short times (e.g., 5 h for the 5-g separation). The yield of the recovered TCF varied between similar to 65% for the 350-mg separation and 78.2 to similar to 89% for the gram-quantity separations. In all the separations, the recovered TCF had greater than 99.5% purity. Tetrachlorophthalic acid, 2,3,4-trichloro-6-hydroxyxanthone-1 -carboxylic acid, 2-(2',4' -dihydroxybenzoyl)tetrachlorobenzoic acid, and a new compound whose proposed structure is 10,11,12-trichloro-3H-[1]benzopyrano[2,3,4-k,1]xanthen-3-one were contaminants isolated from the 350-mg separation.

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was added to the sample solution as a retainer acid. The results indicated that 1) increasing the amount of dye improved the yield of pare compounds; 2) increasing the concentration of ammonia in the solvent system increased the concentration of analytes in the mobile phase and shortened the retention time of the major peak; and 3) ammonium acetate in the solvent system could be eliminated and TFA in the sample solution could be replaced by acetic acid without significantly affecting the purification.

Using a combined approach of molecular and physiological assays, it is now possible to determine which of the three defined steps has been altered in any recA mutant. In this study, we have focussed on the ability of six particular recA mutants (recA85, recA430, recA432, recA433, recA435 and recA730) to perform these functions. Phenotypically, recA85 and recA730 were similar in that in lexA(+) and lexA(Def) backgrounds, they exhibited constitutive coprotease activity towards the UmuD mutagenesis protein. Somewhat surprisingly, in a lexA(Ind(-)) background, UmuD cleavage was damage inducible, suggesting that the repressed level of the RecA* protein cannot spontaneously achieve a fully activated state. Although isolated in separate laboratories, the nucleotide sequence of the recA85 and recA730 mutants revealed that they were identical, with both alleles possessing a Glu(38) --> Lys change in the mutant protein. The recA430, recA433 and recA435 mutants were found to be defective for both lambda mutagenesis and UmuD cleavage. lambda mutagenesis was fully restored, however, to the recA433 and recA435 strains by a low copy plasmid expressing the mutagenically active UmuD' protein. In contrast, lambda mutagenesis was only partially restored to a recA430 strain by a high copy UmuD' plasmid, suggesting that RecA430 may also be additionally defective in targeting the Umu proteins to DNA. Sequence analysis of the recA433 and recA435 alleles revealed identical substitutions resulting in Arg(243) --> His. The recA432 mutation had a complex phenotype in that its coprotease activity towards UmuD depended upon the lexA background: inducible in lexA(+) strains, inefficient in lexA(Ind(-)) cells and constitutive in a lexA(Def) background. The recA432 mutant was found to carry a Pro(119) --> Ser substitution, a residue believed to be at the RecA subunit interface; thus this complex phenotype may result from alterations in the assembly of RecA multimers.

This study investigated the acute feeding effects of vanadate and D-fructose on these parameters in isolated rat adipocytes. In a 3-d fasting/refeeding regimen, male Wistar rats (10/group), weighing 150-200 g, were fed a diet containing either glucose (control) or fructose at 27% (w/w) with sodium orthovanadate at 0, 25 (vanadate-l), and 50 (vanadate-2) mg/kg of diet. Neither body weight gain nor food efficiency differed statistically between treatment groups, but lower food intake in vanadate-treated animals suggests a compensatory effect of food efficiency in maintaining body weight gain at the same level as in other groups. Basal glucose oxidation to CO2 was enhanced in a dose-related fashion in glucose-vanadate groups, but a significant interaction between fructose and vanadate led to a reduction in vanadate-induced basal glucose oxidation. The reduction in basal and insulin-stimulated glucose conversion to lipid in adipocytes and in hepatic glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme activities by vanadate was not altered by fructose. These results suggest that, under acute feeding, fructose alters the insulin-mimetic aspect of vanadate involving glucose conversion to CO2 in isolated adipocytes.

Methods: Annual estimates of the number of prescriptions for menopausal estrogens and medroxyprogesterone and descriptive information on patients and providers were obtained from two pharmaceutical marketing research data bases, the National Prescription Audit and the National Disease and Therapeutic Index of IMS America. Results: An estimated 13.6 million prescriptions were dispensed for oral menopausal estrogens in 1982, and 31.7 million in 1992, a 2.3-fold increase (P = .0001). In 1992 Premarin, the only oral conjugated estrogen currently approved for use, was the most frequently dispensed brand-name pharmaceutical in the United States. Dispensed prescriptions for Estraderm, a transdermal estradiol first marketed in 1986, increased from 1.5 million in 1987 to 4.7 million in 1992. Dispensed prescriptions for oral medroxyprogesterone also increased from 2.3 million prescriptions in 1982 to 11.3 million in 1992, a 4.9-fold increase (P = .0001). An estimated one in six to one in four postmenopausal women were taking menopausal hormones in 1992. These drugs were prescribed mainly by obstetrician-gynecologists. Conclusion: The use of menopausal estrogens and medroxyprogesterone has increased substantially over the past decade. These trends indicate that American women are widely exposed to menopausal hormone replacement. C1 US FDA,CTR DRUG EVALUAT & RES,DIV METAB & ENCOCRINE DRUG PROD,ROCKVILLE,MD 20857.

In the current study we have investigated the effects of suramin on binding of interleukin-4 (IL-4) to its receptors and IL-4-induced biological response. We found that suramin prevented the binding of I-125-labeled IL-4 to its receptor in a dose-dependent manner. The concentration of suramin that caused 50% inhibition of IL-4 binding (IC50) ranged between 55 and 70 mu M. This effect was observed on two human renal cell carcinoma cell lines (PM-RCC and WS-RCC), a human T lymphoma cell line (H9), and a human premyeloid cell line (TF-1). Cross-linking experiments provided direct evidence that suramin prevented binding of I-125-labeled IL-4 to its receptors. Radiolabeled IL-4 specifically cross-linked with major proteins of approximately 145 and 65-70 kDa in both PM-RCC and H9 cell lines. Suramin prevented cross-linking to both affinity cross-linked IL-4 binding proteins. Gel filtration results indicated that suramin caused aggregation of I-125-labeled IL-4. Suramin had a cytostatic rather than cytotoxic effect on H9 cells, and it inhibited IL-4-induced proliferation of TF-1 cells. These data indicate that suramin may be a useful drug in the abrogation of IL-4-induced effects, and this property should be further explored in IL-4-mediated pathologic states.

The data were collected in phase 1 of the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988-1991) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and included bone mineral density (EMD), bone mineral content (BMC) and area of bone scanned in five selected regions of interest (ROI) in the proximal femur: femur neck, trochanter, intertrochanter, Ward's triangle and total. These variables are provided separately by age and sex for non-Hispanic whites (NHW), non-Hispanic blacks (NHB) and Mexican Americans (MA). BMD and BMC in the five ROI tended to decline with age, whereas area did not. BMD and BMC were highest in NHB, intermediate in MA and lowest in NHW, but areas were highest in NHW, intermediate in NHB and lowest in MA. Men had greater BMD, BMC and area than women in all three race/ethnic groups. Differences by age, sex or race/ethnicity tended to be the largest in Ward's triangle, followed by the femur neck; patterns in the trochanter, intertrochanter and total ROI were reasonably similar to each other. This report provides extensive data on femur bone mineral levels of adults from one of the largest samples available to date and should be valuable as reference data for other studies which examine this skeletal site in adults.

The prevaccination geometric mean titer (GR IT) by PRN for Group 1 (GMT = 69) was significantly higher than that of Group 2 (GMT = 18) or 3 (GMT = 13), Seroconversion (4-fold increase in PRN titer) rates after monovalent vaccine were 31, 71 and 76% for Groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively, Seroconversion percentages were higher when measured 6 to 8 weeks after vaccination compared with 4 to 5 weeks, After measles-mumps-rubella greater than or equal to 97% of all infants had PRN titers >120 and were measles IgG-positive by enzyme immunoassay, These data show that as demographics shift to a well-vaccinated maternal population and susceptibility in younger infants, measles vaccination before the currently recommended age will be effective.

Concomitantly, biomonitoring of carcinogen-DNA adducts in human tissues using immunochemical, (32)p-postlabelling, fluorescence, and mass spectrometric methods have recently provided direct evidence of human exposure to genotoxic aromatic and heterocyclic amines, polycyclic hydrocarbons, alkylating agents, and endogenous products. However, a combined approach is now needed in order to assess the relevance of these findings to cancer etiology, to identify high-risk individuals, and to provide better health monitoring, earlier diagnosis, and cancer prevention. Using this paradigm, results are presented that implicate specific aromatic amines, heterocyclic amines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the etiology of human urinary bladder, colon, and laryngeal cancers.

These biomarkers have been subsequently utilized in experimental chemoprotection models to provide data on the modulation of these markers under different situations of disease risk, Several of the aflatoxin specific biomarkers have been validated in epidemiologic studies and are now available to use as intermediate biomarkers in chemoprotection trials. This systematic approach provides encouragement for preventive interventions and should serve as a template for the development, validation and application of other chemical-specific biomarkers to cancer or other chronic diseases.

These activities are based mainly on the transcriptional induction of cellular genes by both type I (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) and type II (IFN-gamma) interferons. Several of these IFN-induced early response genes have been cloned and common elements within their promoters defined. Transcription factors, such as interferon-stimulated gene factor-3, IFN-gamma activation factor and FcRF gamma, that bind to these enhancers subsequently have been isolated and their components identified. This review shall provide an overview of the DNA response elements, the components of the IFN-induced transcription factors and their mechanism of action.

In May, 1992, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition made available a document entitled ''Points to Consider for the Use of Recycled Plastics in Food Packaging: Chemistry Considerations.'' The document highlighted those issues that manufacturers of recycled plastic should consider during the evaluation of a recycling process to produce material suitable for food-contact applications. This paper briefly reviews the highlights of the ''Points,'' discusses the basis for some recent opinions that the Center has given for specific recycling applications, and comments on the agency's developing regulatory policy on the use of recycled plastic for construction of food-contact articles.

This paper presents the results obtained from small-scale washing and drying experiments using polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) chips made from 2-L beverage bottles. The chips were individually contaminated with benzene, tetracosane, lindane, butyric acid, malathion and copper (II) 2-ethylhexanoate before they were washed and dried. The results show that washing significantly affected the removal of each contaminant from the PETE chips, but the effectiveness varied with the contaminant and washing conditions. Tetracosane was removed in the highest amount, followed by lindane, malathion, copper, butyric acid and benzene. After washing, the residues were present at 1 (tetracosane) to 90% (benzene) of their initial concentrations. Drying at 170 degrees C also significantly affected the removal of the organic contaminants but not copper. After drying, the concentrations of the organic residues ranged from 0.1 (benzene) to 21% (copper) of initial concentrations. C1 NATL CTR FOOD SAFETY & TECHNOL,SUMMIT ARGO,IL 60501.

Recycled materials used for food packaging require some special considerations to ensure that nonregulated chemicals or contaminants either are not present in the material or do not migrate into the food. Because all chemicals diffuse through polymers, a potential for food contamination exists if unregulated chemicals or contaminants are present in the recycled material. The potential for recycled polymers to contaminate food may be reduced by using alternative package designs. This paper will discuss diffusion considerations for recycled polymers and the functional barrier characteristics of polymers (i.e., polyethylene terephthalate (PET)) as they apply to food packages made from recycled polymer resins. The functional barrier concept is discussed relative to the Food and Drug Administration's proposed Threshold of Regulation Policy, Diffusion coefficients for a nonvolatile plasticizer in PET at temperatures above 100 degrees C were measured and used to evaluate the barrier properties of PET dual ovenable trays potentially made from recycled polymer.

Flaxseed contains high levels of phytoestrogens. Chaparral has been associated with acute nonviral toxic hepatitis and contains lignans that are structurally similar to known estrogenic compounds. Both flaxseed and chaparral products have been marketed as dietary supplements. A mild enzyme hydrolysis procedure to prevent the formation of artifacts in the isolation step was used in the determination of secolsolariciresinol in flaxseed products. HPLC with ultraviolet spectral (UV) or MS detection was used as the determinative steps. HPLC procedures with UV detection and mass spectrometry were developed to characterize the phenolic components, including lignans and flavonoids, of chaparral and to direct fractionation studies for the bioassays.

Patent estrogens such as diethylstilbestrol (DES) and 17 beta-estradiol which initially double uterine weight on postnatal Day (PND) 5 when given on PHD 1-5 subsequently reduce both uterine growth and gland development at later ages, In this study, Sprague-Dawley pups were treated neonatally (PND 1-5) with various doses of coumestrol and equol, and sacrificed at different ages to determine alterations in biochemical and morphological endpoints. Other rats were injected with the same compounds during the critical period of gland genesis (PND 10-14) to examine their effects on gland development At the 100 mu g coumestrol dose, on PND 1-5, premature gland development and increased uterine weight were observed, However, at later ages, uterine weight was significantly lowered and them was a severe suppression in the estrogen receptor (ER) revels, Equal lowered uterine weight at the later ages but did not affect ER levels, When given on PND 10-14, both coumestrol and equol caused a dose-dependent inhibition of gland genesis though not as severe as either DES or tamoxifen, Coumestrol was about 10(3) more potent than equal as an estrogen and behaved much like DES with respect to its effects on uterine weight, glands, and ER levels. At the doses used in this study, equol failed to demonstrate either estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity. C1 UNIV ARKANSAS MED SCI HOSP,DEPT BIOCHEM,LITTLE ROCK,AR 72205.

This system has been used to determine the morphological consequences after neonatal exposure to coumestrol (a plant estrogen). The role of estrogens in carcinogenesis (as a cocarcinogen or a tumor promotor) is unresolved at this time. Many studies suggest that estrogens are capable of functioning in this manner and recent evidence in cellular and molecular oncology revealed that estrogens act by genetic and epigenetic mechanisms in cancer cells. This review discusses the long-term morphological alterations in the reproductive tract of mice exposed neonatally to coumestrol.

The pancreas is an organ in which estrogen receptors have been shown to be present. Studies have correlated the development of acute pancreatitis with rising levels of human estrogen binding proteins. Neonatal rats were dosed with 10 or 100 pg of coumestrol or equol on postnatal day (PND) 1-10. The animals were sacrificed at Day 15. The pancreas was excised and pancreatic acinar cells isolated for molecular analysis. DNA was isolated from the cells by lysis in TEN-9 buffer supplemented with proteinase K and 0.1% SDS. High molecular weight (HMW) DNA was digested with the methylated DNA specific restriction enzymes, Hpa II and Msp I, for determination of methylation profiles. Both coumestrol and equol at high doses caused hypermethylation of the c-H-ras protooncogene. No hypermethylation or hypomethylation was observed in the protooncogenes, c-myc or c-fos. Methylation is thought to be an epigenetic mechanism involved in the activation (hypomethylation) or inactivation (hypermethylation) of cellular genes which are known to play a role in carcinogenesis. Epidemiology studies have shown that equol may have anti-carcinogenic effects on some hormone-dependent cancers. Additional studies are needed to further understand the role of phytoestrogens and methylation in relation to pancreatic disorders. C1 NATL CTR TOXICOL RES,DIV DEV TOXICOL,JEFFERSON,AR 72079.

To investigate the mechanism of cognitive improvement, circulating hormone measurements were made during high-dose acute and low-dose chronic intravenous (i.v.) arecoline administration to AD patients. Acute hormone responses were measured during, and for 6 h after, infusion of arecoline 5 mg i.v. over 30 min. Chronic responses were measured in cognitive responders during continuous i.v. infusion of arecoline escalating over 2 weeks (0.5-40 mg/day) and then during a 1 week infusion of the dose optimizing cognition (4-16 mg/day). Acute arecoline administered to 14 subjects produced unpleasant side-effects (e.g. nausea, vomiting), mean adrenocorticotrophic hormone (p=.0006), cortisol (p=.0001) and beta-endorphin (p=.0001) levels were elevated. During chronic arecoline treatment, no side-effects occurred and plasma cortisol, adrenocorticotrophic hormone and beta-endorphin levels were unchanged in nine subjects overall and in five cognitive responders. Thus, high-dose arecoline activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and may increase other anterior pituitary hormone levels, likely representing a 'stress response', but cognition-enhancing, low doses of arecoline do not produce a glucocorticoid response. Hence, arecoline-induced memory improvement is not due to the induction of 'stress' nor to the elevation of peripheral corticosteroid levels.

Prevalence rose significantly with age, from 0.4 per 1,000 among persons ages 18-64 to 26 per 1,000 among those ages 75 or older. Age-adjusted prevalence in males was 1.5 times that in females, and in whites 1.6 times that in nonwhites, although these differences were of borderline statistical significance. Prevalence did not vary significantly by region of residence, educational level, or income, but was significantly increased (more than threefold) in those reporting any activity limitation compared with those with no limitation. Fifteen percent of pacemakers in use were replacements; about one-fifth of these had been replaced more than twice. Sixty percent of previous pacemakers had been in place for at least 5 years. These data provide the first nationwide, population-based estimates of the epidemiology of pacemaker implantation, focusing particularly on the demographics of U.S. pacemaker recipients.

Chest radiography was surveyed in 1984 and 1986, the abdomen-L/S spine in 1987 and 1989, computed tomography in 1990, and dental radiography in 1993. Since 1984, patient exposure equivalent phantoms have been used for each annual survey. Three examinations, mammography (1985, 1988, 1992); fluoroscopy (1991), and dental radiography (1993) have incorporated image quality test objects. The surveys are comprehensive, collecting data such as screen and film type, whether a grid is used, selected Xray tube potential, measured beam quality, the measurement of processing speed, and entrance air kerma. The trend in mammography, which has been observed for three separate surveys, shows an overall decrease in the average examination dose during this period of time, while image quality has improved. The main reason for the reduction in dose is the elimination of xerography relative to screen-film mammography. Within screen-film mammography an improvement has been observed in film processing, an improvement in beam quality, and an increase in the use of grids. These changes have contributed to the observed improvement in image quality and associated increase in mean glandular dose for screen-film systems. The fluoroscopy survey showed an average air kerma of 43 Gy.min(-1). The image quality evaluation showed 87% of surveyed facilities able to resolve at least the 20 wire mesh (equivalent to 0.8 1p.mm(-1)); while 51% of facilities had a per cent contrast sensitivity greater than 4%.

The particle size distribution was evaluated using an electrical differential mobility particle sizer (DMPS) and both the DMPS and the mass spectrometer were used to evaluate transmission. The latter results were correlated to provide evidence related to mechanisms which contribute to poor sample transmission. Addition of ammonium acetate buffer did not increase the aerosol particle mean diameter. However, it did lead to significant increases in caffeine transmission efficiency observed in both the DMPS and the mass spectrometer. Our results were interpreted to suggest a possible electrostatic cause for quantitative anomalies in LC/PB/MS rather than simple mass discrimination in the particle beam momentum separator.

Response of a test analyte was measured with or without discharge initiation. If the solvent contained no ammonium acetate buffer, increased analyte signal was associated with the discharge. However, in the presence of ammonium acetate the benefit of AC discharge neutralization was either not observed or was more subtle. This led to the conclusion that the previously observed ammonium acetate ''carrier'' effect is attributable, at least in part, to neutralization of static electric charges produced spontaneously during the solvent nebulization process. In a second experiment, the pattern of particles issuing from the system momentum separator was examined by aiming the particle beam at a cold target located within a mass spectrometer ion source. Variations in particle density were observed depending on (i) whether or not the aerosol had been neutralized and (ii) the proximity of electron-beam-collimating magnets to the particle beam trajectory. These results are consistent with a hypothesis that electrostatic charging occurs spontaneously during the nebulization process in which an aerosol is formed from the high performance liquid chromatography effluent. Such electrostatic charging introduces a factor likely to degrade system performance by at least two modes: through interactions of the charged aerosol particles (i) with the walls of the aerosol transmission pathway, and, after they are accelerated into a particle beam and introduced into the mass spectrometer, (ii) with the magnets used for electron beam collimation in many mass spectrometer ion sources.

System performance was maximal with uncoated columns. System efficiencies of approximately 44 000 plates/m and reproducible analysis times of about 13 min were obtained. System efficiency with metayl-coated columns was approximately 24 000 plates/m. Reproducible analysis times of about 3.5 min were obtained with these columns. With uncoated columns, the concentration limit of detection was 156 ppb with a s/n ratio of approximately 10. The estimated injected mass at 156 ppb was 1.1 pg. Repeated injections of extracts containing constant fumonisin B-1 concentrations showed that peak areas were slightly inconsistent, although generally similar to variations encountered with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The source of this inconsistency was traced to sample solubility, errors inherent in electrophoresis injections, and electrospray instability. Minimizing these problem areas will produce a technique with peak area reproducibilities comparable to liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, but with potentially greater resolving power.

The method employs on-line solid-phase extraction and electrospray and thermospray reversed-phase liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. In combination with time-scheduled selected-ion monitoring, the method permits the detection of the sulfonylureas down to the 50-100 ng/L level with excellent recoveries of >90% and reproducibilities between 2 and 8.5% for almost all of the investigated compounds. This improved method is superior to existing techniques because no special clean-up step is necessary, and owing to the fast on-line preconcentration step, the technique can be used as a rapid screening and confirmatory method. The method can be used with either thermospray or electrospray mass spectrometry, both of which provided mass spectra with at least three structure-signficant ions necessary for an unambiguous identification in environmental samples.

In-source collision-induced dissociation was used to optimize fragmentation to produce mass spectra consisting of the protonated molecule and two characteristic fragment ions of nearly equal intensity. Selected ion monitoring of three ions per quinolone yielded sensitive detection in catfish muscle extracts (estimated instrumental detection limits 0.8-1.7 ppb). The intensity ratios were used to confirm the presence of three of the quinolones based on the accurate agreement (less than or equal to 10% deviation) between ratios derived from fortified catfish extracts and those from standard quinolones. MS/MS was used to increase the specificity and sensitivity of analysis. Scans using constant neural loss (CNL) of 18 mass units gave a sensitive response for the quinolones suggesting that CNL scans may be applicable to multiresidue screening for unknown quinolones. MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring of the [MH-18](+) transition for each quinolone yielded the highest sensitivity analysis in catfish extracts (estimated instrumental detection limits 0.08-0.16 ppb).

PCP modulates N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and Ca2+-releasing pathways however, its mechanism of action and neurotoxic potential remain unclear. Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) is a Ca2+-dependent cytosolic enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of nitric oxide (NO) which mediates several neuronal events. PCP in vitro at micromolar (5-100 mu M) concentrations significantly inhibited NOS activity in rat cerebellum. Similar significant inhibition of NOS activity was also observed in the hippocampus, caudate nucleus, frontal cortex and cerebellum of female rats (Sprague-Dawley) treated with PCP (15 mg/kg, ip) after 0.5, 1, 2, and 24 h. A time-dependent PCP-inhibition of NOS in different regions of the brain was observed up to 2 h however, POP-inhibited NOS activity was partially recovered at 24 h after treatment. These data suggest that PCP induced significant alterations in NOS activity and interfered in NO-mediated neural signalling processes. C1 SAVANNAH STATE COLL,DEPT BIOL & LIFE SCI,SAVANNAH,GA 31404.

For each use, performance characteristics need to be well established. The value of a marker depends heavily on two predominant performance parameters - sensitivity and specificity. These parameters must be established with respect to the intended clinical use of the marker. Therefore, it is important to balance the analytical/clinical sensitivity and the resultant claims for the test. The FDA review and evaluation of a tumour marker test focuses upon the intended use and the clinical utility of the marker. The sponsor must prove all specific claims. The data must support well-designed scientific protocols and clinical studies[1]. Generally, a tumour marker test is evaluated based on its intended clinical use, epidemiological sensitivity, specificity, and prevalence. A particular tumour marker test will have higher predictive value when it is applied to a population with a higher prevalence of the type of cancer being studied. Clinical utility for screening use may be limited by low prevalence [2]. RP AZIZ, K (reprint author), US FDA,CTR DEVICES & RADIOL HLTH,2098 GAITER RD,ROCKVILLE,MD 20857, USA.

The results indicate that this receptor simulates the base-pairing properties of cytidine in its Watson-Crick interaction with guanosine, Binding of the same receptor to N-(guanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene, the guanosine adduct containing the carcinogen 2-acetylaminofluorene, was found to occur in a similar manner. The calculated binding energies show that the molecular recognition of the adduct is lower than that of the unmodified guanosine. The theoretical studies suggest that the predominance of an abnormal low energy syn conformation for the adduct is the main structural feature accounting for the observed decrease of the host-guest interaction.

The 1988 National Health Interview Survey was a massive, nationally representative cross-sectional survey that encompassed 47,485 households and 122,310 individuals. Data from the Medical Device Implant Supplement indicate that an estimated 253,283 persons with 279,175 heart valves were present in the civilian, non-institutionalized US population (population prevalence of 1.1/1,000, 95% Cl 0.8-1.3). Prevalence of valve prostheses ranged from 0.2 per 1,000 in those age 44 and under to 5.3 per 1,000 in those 75 years of age and older. Age-adjusted prevalence of valve prostheses did not differ significantly according to sex, race, region of residence, education, or income of recipients. Two thirds of aortic valve recipients identified by the survey were male, compared with only one third of mitral valve recipients. Approximately two thirds of both aortic and mitral valve implants were reported as mechanical. Reported use of anticoagulative agents was significantly more common in recipients of mechanical than of bioprosthetic valves. The single most common reported reason for prosthetic valve implantation was rheumatic heart disease. These data provide useful epidemiologic and public health planning information on prosthetic heart valve use. C1 US FDA,CTR DEVICES & RADIOL HLTH,ROCKVILLE,MD 20850.

The increased rate of BT may be due to alterations in mucosal structure, enzyme activity, or mucin content. Fiber improves intestinal structure and function in rats and may reduce the rate of BT. This study determined whether the addition of fiber to TPN or ED would maintain intestinal integrity and decrease BT to the mesenteric lymph nodes. Fifty-six adult male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent placement of jugular catheters and were assigned to one of five dietary groups: TPN, TPN + oral oat fiber (TPNF) 2 g/day, ED, ED + oral oat fiber (EDF) 2 g/day, or AIN-76 (control); they were pair-fed for 7 days. On day 8 the mesenteric lymph nodes were removed for bacterial cultures; and jejunal mucosal weight, DNA, protein, alkaline phosphatase, maltase, and jejunal mucin content were measured. Enteral nutrition significantly decreased BT when compared to parenteral feeding, and fiber significantly decreased BT when administered to rats receiving TPN or ED. Improvements in intestinal mucosal structure were not consistently associated with decreased rates of BT. Additionally, BT occurred independently of jejunal mucin concentration. Mechanisms other than maintenance of mucosal structure or mucin content are important in the mediation of fiber-induced decreased BT in rats receiving TPN or ED.

A new application of a counter how gas diffusion cell (CFGDC)-based particle beam LC interface (Universal Interface, Vestee) is described for the HPLC-TEA analysis of the non-volatile N-nitrosamines, N-Nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA) and N-nitrosomethyl-p-amino-2-ethylhexylbenzoate (NMPABAO). The interface incorporates a thermospray vaporizer, desolvation chamber, and CFGDC to reduce the LC effluent to a dry aerosol and a single-stage momentum separator to form a particle beam of the non-volatile analyte. Using this system, the LC-TEA response to NDELA was linear in the range 6-200 ng total amount injected. Several experiments are reported indicating the effect of thermospray tip temperature, He carrier flow-rate, and mobile phase composition on TEA response. Minimum detection limits (5 ng NDELA injected on column) are comparable to other LC-TEA interfacing methods. Several advantages over existing methodology which include ease of use, ruggedness and MS compatibility are discussed. Additional LC-particle beam MS data are reported indicating that full scan electron impact MS identification of the N-nitrosamine contaminants in cosmetics is possible for confirming TEA detection data.

Based on the similarity of connections and their adjacent spacial proximity, three forebrain nuclei are referred to as a continuum. The components of this diagonal ventral forebrain continuum (DVFC) are the central nucleus of the amygdala, the sublenticular portion of the substantia innominata, and the lateral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. A primary concern and terminal goal of this study is to determine whether the region of this continuum which projects to the brainstem autonomic nuclei such as the vagal nuclei or the parabrachial nuclei also receives inputs from the basolateral amygdala. The first phase of this study involved determining what autonomic regions receive projections from the basal forebrain. The vagal complex and the parabrachial nuclei were found to receive the densest inputs from the DVFC. The topographic distribution of the respective retrogradely labeled cells and their collateral status is described. The second phase involved looking at afferent inputs from brainstem nuclei. The parabrachial nucleus sends reciprocal projections back to the continuum, which generally overlap the neurons which project back to the brainstem visceral nuclei. The third phase of the study indicated that the cells of the basolateral amygdala contribute a major terminal field which overlaps those cells of the basal forebrain continuum which in turn project to either the nucleus of the solitary tract or the parabrachial nucleus. The possibility that the circuits implied in this study represent the neural circuitry whereby emotional stimuli result in changes in visceral activity is addressed.

A cytosolic protein found in Vero 76 cells (simian origin) specifically bound to the 3' (+)-stem-loop sequence, In the present study, we have purified the RNA binding protein and identified it as a simian homologue of human calreticulin. The purified calreticulin binds to the RV RNA with specificity similar to the protein present in cytosolic extracts. Human calreticulin antibodies recognize several forms of simian calreticulin, one of which is phosphorylated in vivo. A 2-fold increase in phosphorylation of this form of calreticulin is observed in RV-infected cells. Recombinant human calreticulin can bind RV 3' (+)-stem-loop RNA only after undergoing in vitro phosphorylation. This binding activity is abrogated by pretreatment of phosphorylated recombinant human calreticulin with alkaline phosphatase. The RV RNA was also immunoprecipitated from RV infefted UV crosslinked Vero 76 cells by using calreticulin antibodies. Our results show that phosphorylated calreticulin is an RNA binding protein and phosphorylation is necessary for this activity. Specific binding of calreticulin to the cis-acting element of RV RNA in vivo suggests a possible role for this interaction in viral replication.

In this study, we show that death of EBV-immortalized cells deprived of autocrine growth factors occurred by apoptosis. Cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, inhibited apoptosis, suggesting that de novo protein synthesis is required. Because p53, Bcl-2, and c-Myc were previously implicated in the induction or prevention of apoptosis in other systems, we assessed their possible involvement here. Unlike normal cells that respond to growth factor deprivation by down-regulating c-Myc expression, EBV-immortalized tells continued to express c-Myc, p53, and Bcl-2 at levels comparable to those measured prior to starvation. Consistent with data demonstrating that c-Myc expression is sufficient to drive quiescent cells into the cell cycle, autocrine growth factor-deprived EBV-immortalized cells did not undergo growth arrest but rather continued to proliferate until death, which occurred randomly throughout the cell cycle. In contrast to EBV-immortalized B cells, normal peripheral blood B cells activated in vitro with anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody and interleukin 4 rapidly down-regulated c-Myc expression and underwent growth arrest in response to growth factors and serum deprivation. These findings demonstrated that c-Myc expression is deregulated in EBV-immortalized cells. Addition of antisense oligonucleotides to c-Myc specifically promoted the survival of starved EBV-immortalized cells and suppressed growth of nonstarved EBV-immortalized cells. Thus, deregulated expression of c-Myc in EBV-immortalized cells promotes proliferation and apoptosis following autocrine growth factor deprivation. C1 NCI,PEDIAT ONCOL BRANCH,BETHESDA,MD 20892.

Chemically patterned parallel lines of self-assembled monolayer films were fabricated on glass substrates via a deep UV lithographic procedure. Cultured neuroblastoma cells deposited on these substrates formed long(similar to 300 mu m in length) neuritic processes along the patterned lines in the presence of retinoic acid. Cells attached to the surface of these substrates were placed in a stimulation chamber so that an electric field (1.4-1.9 V/cm) could be applied in the direction parallel or perpendicular to neuritic orientation. A majority of cells aligned parallel to the orientation of electrical stimulation exhibited a variety of cellular responses including neuritic tip damage, reductions in neuritic length and varicosity formation. These effects were observed to a lesser degree on the cells when electrical stimulation with the same magnitude was applied perpendicularly to the cell alignment. This work supports earlier findings that geometry is a crucial factor in determining cellular response to applied electric fields and goes on to show that cellular orientation is a key factor in determining cellular damage in culture.

In 1974 the regulation for fat, fatty acid, and cholesterol contents was finalized; this regulation defined saturated fatty acid as the sum of lauric, myristic, palmitic, and stearic acids. Because the labeling of saturated fatty acid was voluntary except when a claim was made for fat content, the inclusion of stearic acid in that definition had little impact on foods high in fatty acids. Under the requirements of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) of 1990, the definition of a saturated fatty acid gained major significance, with ties to mandatory nutrition labeling, nutrient content claims, and health claims. It was requested that stearic acid be dropped from the definition of a saturated fatty acid because it did not raise blood cholesterol concentrations. Scientific data demonstrating the lack of involvement of stearic acid consumption in negative health effects are needed.

Recent observations of non-sequence-dependent cardiovascular toxicity and deaths in monkeys following intravenous infusions of phosphorothioates have raised a potential safety concern for oligonucleotide drugs. This concern should be considered by drug sponsors in designing pre-IND nonclinical development programs and Phase 1 clinical protocols. Pre-IND conduct of pharmacodynamic cardiovascular screening is highly recommended for defining safe clinical dosing regimens for phosphorothioate (and, possibly, other charged-backbone) oligomers. Additionally, drug sponsors are encouraged to (1) conduct research into the mechanisms responsible for this dose-limiting toxicity, (2) institute liberal publication policies for research conducted under industrial sponsorship, and (3) communicate with reviewing divisions at FDA for updated guidance in this field when planning pre-IND safety studies. Recommendations for nonclinical studies during development of oligonucleotides will be modified as new information regarding the biological properties of oligonucleotides becomes available.

Cells that had been grown with pyrene oxidized up to 20%, of the added 1-nitropyrene to 1-nitropyrene-cis-9,10- and 4,5-dihydrodiols. However, cells that had been grown without pyrene reduced up to 70% of the 1-nitropyrene to 1-aminopyrene but did not produce dihydrodiols. The nitroreductase activity was oxygen insensitive, intracellular, and inducible by nitro compounds. Nitroreductase activity was inhibited by p-chlorobenzoic acid, o-iodosobenzoic acid, menadione, dicumarol, and antimycin A. Extracts from cells that had been grown without pyrene activated 1-nitropyrene, 1-amino-7-nitrofluorene, 2,7-dinitro-9-fluorenone, 1,3-dinitropyrene, 1,6-dinitropyrene, and 6-nitrochrysene to DNA-damaging products, as shown in Salmonella typhimurium tester strains by the reversion assay and by induction of the umuC gene. Activation of nitro compounds, as shown by the umu test, was enhanced by NADPH. This study shows that Mycobacterium sp. strain Pyr-1 metabolizes nitroaromatic compounds by both oxidative and reductive pathways. During reduction, it generates products that are mutagenic.

NotI and XbaI generated 36 and 33 restriction endonuclease digestion profiles (REDP), respectively. By combining the results of both enzymes, 42 unique genomic groups were differentiated. DNA fragments were transferred to nylon membranes and hybridized with digoxigenin-labelled oligonucleotide probes to the ail gene and virulence plasmid to determine hybridization patterns and the potential virulence of the strains. The strains were tested for the presence of the plasmid by PFGE-CHEF and phenotypic characteristics encoded for by the virulence plasmid. Thirty of the 60 Y. enterocolitica strains tested harbored the virulence plasmid. The specificity of the ail and pYV probes was 100% when tested with 68 Yersinia strains and 19 different non-Yersinia strains. Sixteen selected Y. enterocolitica strains were tested for their virulence by lethality in iron- and desferrioxamine-sensitized mice. No correlation between REDP and the virulence of the strains was observed. The observed REDP and the hybridization patterns were very homogeneous within a serogroup and independent of the source of isolation. In addition, PFGE-CHEF was shown to be valuable in identifying and confirming serogroups. Principal component analysis of Dice similarity indices from REDP was an excellent tool for determining genetic relatedness among strains.

S. Pharmacopeia test; the British Pharmacopeia test; the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association test; the rapid screen test; the sequential challenge test; and the post-use test. The antimicrobial systems contained various combinations and amounts of two parabens and a quaternary compound in order to provide a broad range of preservation. The results obtained were compared with the abilities of the formulations to support maintenance and growth of microorganisms in microfloras obtained from human axilla areas and finger skin during an 8-week simulated in-use test. Without statistical analysis all of the tests predicted the results obtained with well-preserved or poorly preserved formulations. The rapid screen test was the best test for predicting differences at intermediate levels of preservation. Statistically, all of the tests were equivalent predictors of preservation efficacy in the in-use test (P = 0.05). At the P = 0.10 level, only the U.S. Pharmaceopeia, British Pharmacopeia, rapid screen, Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association tests were significantly predictive. The results of prediction by a test, based on the preservative levels used, agreed well with the in-use test results (P = 0.01). A total of 20% of the formulations that contained excessive microbial levels contained human axilla microorganisms. The levels of preservation in failed products were similar to the levels of preservation in unused controls. C1 US FDA,DIV MICROBIOL STUDIES HFS516,CTR FOOD SAFETY & APPL NUTR,WASHINGTON,DC 20204.

Two preparations of DFO were studied: DFO mesylate (DFO-M) and a polymeric form (DFO-P) in which DFO is conjugated to hydroxyethyl starch. Groups of 5 SHR each were given 12 weekly i.v. injections of 1 mg/kg DXR either alone or 30 min after the i.p. injection of 25 mg/kg ICRF-187, 50 mg/kg DFO-M, 50 mg/kg DFO-P, or 100 mg/kg DFO-P. A semiquantitative assessment was made of the cardiomyopathy (Billingham scale) and nephropathy. Renal protection was minimal with DFO-M and moderate with ICRF-187 and both doses of DFO-P. There was no cardiac protection with DFO-M. Both doses of DFO-P provided similar but modest degrees of cardiac protection. DXR-induced mortality was not prevented by either preparation of DFO. ICRF-187 provided a higher degree of protection against the cardiotoxicity and the mortality induced by DXR. Since both DFO and ICRF-187 are highly efficient chelators of iron in vitro, the differences in their in vivo protective effects are thought to be related to their cellular uptake and intracellular distribution and to the relative availability of different intracellular iron pools to these agents.

These steps are catalyzed by hepatic cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) and acetyltransferase-2 (NAT-2), respectively, which are known to be polymorphic in humans. On the basis of this proposed metabolic activation pathway, patients at greatest risk to develop colorectal cancer or nonfamilial polyps should be those who possess both the rapid NAT-2 and rapid CYP1A2 phenotypes and are exposed to high dietary levels of carcinogenic heterocyclic amines. Using a method that involves caffeine administration and high pressure liquid chromatographic analysis of urinary metabolites, we have determined the CYP1A2 and NAT-2 phenotypes of 205 controls and 75 cancer/polyp cases. Exposure information was obtained using a dietary and health habits questionnaire. Both the rapid CYP1A2 and rapid NAT2 phenotypes were each slightly more prevalent in cases versus controls (57% and 52% verses 41% and 45%, respectively). However, the combined rapid CYP1A2-rapid NAT-2 phenotype was found in 35% of cases and only 16% of the controls, giving an odds ratio of 2.79 (P = 0.002). Univariate analysis of the questionnaire indicated that age, rapid-rapid phenotype, and consumption of well done red meat were associated with increased risk of colorectal neoplasia. Furthermore, a logistic regression model that included age (as a continuous variable), consumption of well done red meat, and rapid-rapid phenotype as independent covariates gave odds ratios of 1.08, 2.08, and 2.91, respectively. The odds ratios for cooked meat preference and phenotype combinations ranged from 1.00 for rare/medium preference with slow/slow phenotype to 6.45 for well done preference with rapid-rapid NAT-2/CYP1A2 phenotype. This study indicates that metabolic phenotype combined with a measure of exposure to food-borne heterocyclic amine carcinogens are important risk factors in human colorectal cancer.

In humans HAAs are activated in vivo by cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) and N-acetyltransferase (NAT2) to mutagens or carcinogens. While activity of NAT2 is noninducible, exposure to cigarettes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and cruciferous vegetables has been shown to induce CYP1A2 activity in humans. To date, it is unknown if pan-fried meat, which is consumed at high levels in the United States, is capable of inducing CYP1A2. In order to address this issue, we measured CYP1A2 and NAT2 activities in 66 healthy nonsmokers (33 males and 33 females) in a controlled metabolic feeding study. The study was designed to minimize the influence of known inducers of CYP1A2. Subjects consumed meat pan-fried at a low temperature (100 degrees C) for 7 days followed by 7 days of meat pan-fried at a high temperature (250 degrees C) The low temperature-cooked meat had undetectable levels of HAAs while the high temperature-cooked meat contained high amounts of HAAs [9.0 ng/g of 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), 2.1 ng/g of 2-amino-3,7,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (DiMeIQx), and 32.8 ng/g of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP)]. In contrast, total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content was similar in both meat samples (10.7 ng/g in low temperature-cooked meat and 10.1 ng/g in high temperature-cooked meat). At the end of each period, subjects were tested for CYP1A2 and NAT2 enzyme activity by caffeine metabolism phenotyping. NAT2 activity remained unchanged throughout the study while CYP1A2 activity increased in 47 of 65 (72%) of the subjects after consuming high temperature-cooked meat (P < 0.0002), suggesting induction by some compound(s) formed during high temperature cooking. If HAAs are shown to be human carcinogens in epidemiological studies, then meat cooked at high temperatures may pose an increased cancer risk because it contains both inducers of CYP1A2 and procarcinogens MeIQx, DiMeIQx, and PhIP known to be activated by this enzyme.

In this study, female CD-1 mice were administered AZT at doses of 180, 360, and 720 mu g/ml of drinking water for 28 days to determine whether AZT became incorporated into vaginal DNA and whether this was associated with preneoplastic changes within the target tissue. In addition, bone marrow, a target for AZT-induced cytotoxicity in mice and humans, was examined for chromosomal aberrations. A positive correlation was observed between dose level of AZT, proliferation of cells in the basal layer of vaginal epithelium, and incorporation of AZT into vaginal DNA. Incorporation of AZT into vaginal DNA was originally detected by radioimmunoassay and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. An aberrant pattern for alpha 6 integrin distribution, similar to the pattern described in skin papillomas with high risk for malignant conversion, also increased with dose in mice given AZT. Chromosomal aberrations in bone marrow increased more than 4-fold in AZT-exposed animals. The genotoxicity demonstrated by incorporation of AZT into vaginal DNA and proliferation of vaginal epithelium may play an essential part in the ability of AZT to induce abnormal differentiation in vaginal epithelium and vaginal tumorigenesis in mice.

P-32-Postlabeling analyses showed the presence of a single adduct, N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-fluorenamine (dG-GS-FA), from activation of both hydroxamic acids by the serosa and liver in vitro and in vivo. The relatively low levels of dG-CS-FA (60-80 fmol/mu g DNA) from N-OH-2-FBA in vitro were increased 2.7- and 35-fold upon the addition of acetyl coenzyme A (AcGoA) to the serosal cytosol and hepatic cytosol or microsomes respectively. By contrast, addition of AcGoA led to a decrease (similar to 34 %) in the high level of dG-GS-FA (4330 fmol/ mu g DNA) from activation of N-OH-2-FAA by hepatic cytosol and did not alter the levels from activation by hepatic microsomes and serosal cytosols (530 and 78.3 fmol/mu g DNA respectively). These data and the previously reported hydroxamic acid activation enzyme activities in the serosa and liver indicated that the precursor of dG-C8-FA, N-acetoxy-N-2-fluorenamine, was formed from N-OH-2-FAA chiefly via an intramolecular N,O-acetyltransfer and from N-OH-2-FBA via a two-step sequence of N-debenzoylation and AcCoA-dependent O-acetylation. The levels of dG-C8-FA were similar to 2- to 3-fold higher in the serosal DNA (up to 515 and 1012 fmol/mu g DNA) after one (30 mu mol/rat) and ten or eleven (cumulative dose of similar to 275 mu mol/rat) injections of N-OH-2-FBA or N-OH-2-FAA than in the hepatic DNA. This correlated with the carcinogenicities of the hydroxamic acids, but was inversely proportional to the rates and extents of their activation in vitro. Multiple injections affected hepatic enzyme activities related to the activation of the hydroxamic acids in that the cytosolic N-debenzoylation of N-OH-2-FBA increased (similar to 1,7-fold) whereas N-OH-2-FAA acetyltransferase and sulfotransferase activities decreased. The effect of treatment with N-OH-2-FBA was greater than that with N-OH-2-FAA and was greater on the sulfotransferase activity (similar to 88% decrease). The latter suggested that N-OH-2-FBA, although a poor acceptor for an enzymatic sulfate transfer, may be carcinogenic for the rat liver. This study provides first evidence on the DNA adduct formation in vitro and in vivo from N-OH-2-FBA in the peritoneal serosa and liver and from N-OH-2-FAA in the serosa.

Treatment with 3-aminobiphenyl (3-ABP) and 1-naphthylamine (1-NA), both considered to be non-carcinogenic, were used as controls. The purpose of this study was: (1) to determine whether or not changes that occurred in the plasma protein patterns were specific to 4-ABP and/or other related carcinogenic arylamines; (2) to measure the time course in the changes of the major polypeptides during dosing and their resynthesis during a recovery period; and (3) to determine, by microsequencing, the biochemical identity of the affected proteins. The results indicate that only the most potent carcinogen, CABP, had the effect of suppressing the expression of some proteins, while the other aromatic amines caused no discernible change in the 2DG patterns during a 12-week dosing period. The 4-ABP caused dramatic suppression of two sets of proteins. One set of three spots had an apparent molecular weight of 32.5 kDa, and a pi of 5.8-6.0. The major component in this group was identified as the beta-chain of haptoglobin. Expression of this protein decreased markedly during the first 2 weeks of treatment and recovered slowly after dosing stopped. Since haptoglobin functions to bind with free hemoglobin and facilitates its elimination from the blood stream, these results can be rationalized as a consequence of 4-ABP binding to hemoglobin in the erythrocyte, resulting in cell death and hemolysis. The 4-ABP modified hemoglobin then binds to haptoglobin and this tertiary complex is purged from the blood stream, resulting in the disappearance of free haptoglobin. A second set of spots (mel. wt., 65 kDa; pI, 6.5-6.6) disappeared much faster than the haptoglobin, and recovered more quickly. The major protein is about one-fifth the intensity of haptoglobin and appeared to be N-terminally blocked. Internal microsequencing of four fragments obtained from tryptic cleavage of the major spot of this group showed significant similarity to the serum albumin sequence of several species. This spot group is not the major serum albumin spot, however, since the latter is readily identified as the most abundant spot on the plasma map. During the course of this study, several other polypeptides in the 2DG map of dog plasma were identified and are presented here. C1 NATL CTR TOXICOL RES, JEFFERSON, AR 72079 USA.

TI Comparison of some homogeneity tests in analysis of over-dispersed binomial data SO ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECOLOGICAL STATISTICS LA English DT Article DE extended quasi-likelihood; pseudo-likelihood; quasi-likelihood; teratology AB This paper compares the procedures based on the extended quasi-likelihood, pseudo-likelihood and quasi-likelihood approaches for testing homogeneity of several proportions for over-dispersed binomial data. The type I error of the Wald tests using the model-based and robust variance estimates, the score test, and the extended quasi-likelihood ratio test (deviance reduction test) were examined by simulation. The extended quasi-likelihood method performs less well when mean responses are close to 1 or 0. The model-based Wald test based on the quasi-likelihood performs the best in maintaining the nominal level. The score test performs less well when the intracluster correlations are large or heterogeneous. In summary: (i) both the quasi-likelihood and pseudo-likelihood methods appear to be acceptable but care must be taken when overfitting a variance function with small sample sizes; (ii) the extended quasi-likelihood approach is the least favourable method because its nominal level is much too high; and (iii) the robust variance estimator performs poorly, particularly when the sample size is small.

Skin metabolism is difficult to measure in vivo because biological specimens may also contain metabolites from other tissues. Metabolism in skin during percutaneous absorption can be studied with viable skin in flow-through diffusion cells. Several compounds metabolized by microsomal enzymes in skin (benzo[a]pyrene and 7-ethoxycoumann) penetrated human and hairless guinea pig skin predominantly unmetabolized. However, compounds containing a primary amino group (p-aminobenzoic acid, benzocaine, and azo color reduction products) were substrates for acetyltransferase activity in skin and were substantially metabolized during absorption. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic model has been developed with an input equation, allowing modeling after topical exposure. Plasma concentrations in the hairless guinea pig were accurately predicted for the model compound, benzoic acid, from in vitro absorption, metabolism, and other pharmacokinetic parameters.

These primers were used for PCR to detect and monitor the bacteria in a semicontinuous culture system designed to mimic intestinal microflora in the human gastrointestinal tract. Except for C. perfringens, the five species of Bacteroides and Clostridia present in the in vitro culture system were detected by the PCR, and the titers varied from 10(-2) to 10(-6) dilutions. The role of azo dye reduction by these bacterial species in the system was examined and discussed. C1 US FDA,NATL CTR TOXICOL RES,DIV MICROBIOL,JEFFERSON,AR 72079.

Peak blood level of radioactivity occurred 6 hr after administration of the dose to rats and between 3 and 4 hr in rabbits; the blood elimination half-life ranged from 8 to 15 hr in rats and averaged 6 hr in rabbits. Rats excreted an average of 54.2% of the administered radiolabel in the urine and 32.4% in the faeces during the 96 hr following the dose; rabbits excreted an average of 84.2 and 13.1% of the radiolabel in the urine and faces, respectively, during this time, Examination of the metabolites in the rat showed that 60% of the urinary radioactivity was attributable to tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCH), 3% to free pentachlorophenol (PCP) and 29% to conjugated PCP; faecal metabolites were PCP (85.7%), TCH (4.3%) and polar metabolite(s) (10%). In the rabbit, 58% of the urinary radioactivity was attributable to TCH, 8% to free PCP and 34% to conjugated PCP. Faecal metabolites consisted of PCP and conjugated material.

Type 1 was present in 73 patients (74%), type 2 in 15 (15%), type 3 in 6 (6%) and type 4 in 1 (1%). Line probe assay further subdivided type 1 into 1a (n = 35) and type 1b (n = 37) and type 2 into type 2a (n = 6) and 2b (n = 9). Two patients (2%) had both restriction fragment length polymorphism and line probe assay evidence of dual infection (with types 1 and type 2) while another ease had both type 1a and 1b by line probe assay. One patient was untypable by either technique. There was no correlation between infecting genotype and presumed cause, serum indexes of necroinflammatory activity, or age or sex of the patients studied or known duration of infection. Patients with type 2 hepatitis C virus had more severe liver disease histologically (p = 0.0027) compared with other genotypes but, paradoxically, had significantly lower levels of circulating hepatitis C virus RNA (12.1 +/- 12.8 x 10(5) genome equivalents/ml) than other types (36.4 +/- 44.8 x 10(5) genome equivalents/ml, p < 0.001). Response to interferon was less likely to be sustained in patients infected with type 1 than in those infected with other types (7% vs. 40%, p < 0.05). Thus hepatitis C virus genotype may have some influence on the clinical pattern of hepatitis, particularly with regard to the disease severity and response to interferon. The restriction fragment length polymorphism and line probe assays produced concordant results in 97 of 98 cases; however, whereas restriction fragment length polymorphism provides a relatively easy and reliable method for genotyping hepatitis C virus, the line probe assay assay is more rapid, uses standardized reagents, does not require radioisotopes and has the advantage of distinguishing the subtypes of genotype 1 and 2.

Each of these two fibers transmits part of the excitation light through a fiber coupler (1:15 transmittance ratio) to the heart preparation which is stained with the voltage-sensitive dye RH237. The returning red fluorescence is split at the same fiber coupler (15:1 transmittance ratio) and is directed to a photomultiplier tube through a longpass filter. With this two-point mapping method, differences in action potential shape and timing have been observed. C1 UNIV MARYLAND,DEPT ELECT ENGN,COLLEGE PK,MD 20742.

The structure of the capsular polysaccharide of Salmonella typhi (Vi) differs from pectin in that it is N acetylated at C-2 and O acetylated at C-3, and has a molecular size of similar to 2 x 10(3) kDa. There is no serological cross-reaction between pectin and Vi. Pectin, when O acetylated at C-2 and C-3, is antigenically identical to Vi in double immunodiffusion. Unlike Vi, O-acetylated pectin (OAcPec) is not immunogenic in mice, probably because of its comparatively low molecular weight. After storage at 3 to 8 degrees C for 3 months, there was no change in the O-acetyl content or the M(r) of OAcPec. At 60 degrees C, the M(r) of OAcPec declined more rapidly than that of Vi. OAcPec conjugated to tetanus toroid elicited Vi antibodies in mice, and reinjection elicited a booster response. The levels of Vi antibodies elicited by OAcPec-tetanus toroid conjugates were lower than those elicited by Vi conjugates, but these differences were not statistically significant. OAcPec has some advantages because it can be measured by standardized colorimetric assays and because it forms more soluble conjugates with proteins than does Vi. One disadvantage is that its glycosidic bond is not as stable as that of Vi. The use of a plant polysaccharide, pectin, as an immunogen for prevention of a systemic infection caused by a capsulated pathogen (S. typhi) provides a novel approach to improve the preparation and immunogenicity of polysaccharide-based vaccines.

Between 1920 and 1965, radiation treatment to the ovaries and/or pituitary gland was used for refractory hormonal infertility and amenorrhoea. The potential carcinogenic effects of hormonal infertility, as well as exposure to relatively low doses of ovarian and pituitary radiation can be studied among patients receiving these treatments. Methods. A cohort of 816 patients treated between 1925 and 1961 was identified from the medical records of a New York City radiologist. The mortality experience for 84% of these women was determined and radiation doses for individual patients were estimated. Doses were, on average, 87, 64, 54, and 29 cGy to the ovary, brain, colon, and active bone marrow, respectively. Results. Compared with mortality rates in the US population, the risk of death was less than expected (standardized mortality ratio [SMR] = 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI] : 0.75-1.00). Deaths due to circulatory and digestive diseases were significantly below expectation. Cancer mortality was about 10% higher than that expected based on New York City mortality rates. Based on a small number of cases, no increase was found for cancers of the ovary or brain, or leukaemia, sites for which direct radiation exposure occurred, but significant excesses of colon cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were observed. A deficit in mortality from female genital cancers was surprising, since nulliparity has been a consistently reported risk factor for cancers of the endometrium and ovary. Breast cancer mortality was close to expectation. Conclusions. Overall, this study provided little evidence that either infertility or its treatment with radiation increased the risk of total or cancer mortality.

We found that the hepatic sulfotransferase-mediated covalent binding of H-3-labeled 2-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (N-OH-PhIP) to calf thymus DNA was 3.3 and 12.9 times higher with human cytosol preparation than with male and female rat cytosol preparations, respectively, in the presence of 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate. To assess the activating capacities of individual phenol-sulfating sulfotransferases, five different forms, human ST1A2 and ST1A3 and rat ST1A1, ST1B1 and ST1C1, were expressed in heterologous cells. All five sulfotransferases mediated the activation of N-OH-PhIP to DNA-bound products. The extents of the binding, however, differed considerably among these forms. Human ST1A2 and ST1A3 mediated the activation of N-OH-PhIP at 5.2- and 6.2-fold higher rates than did rat ST1C1, a main N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene-activating sulfotransferase, in rat liver. Extents of the binding of N-OH-PhIP in human hepatic cytosols of different individuals were positively correlated with the contents of immunoreactive ST1A2/3. These results suggest a potential role of human liver sulfotransferases in N-OH-PhIP activation. In contrast, the low sulfotransferase-mediated activation of N-OH-PhIP in rat liver is consistent with the lack of PhIP hepatocarcinogenicity in this species.

A plasmid vector which is self-transmissible by conjugation and which, by insertion into the B. pertussis chromosome, can mobilize chromosomal sequences during conjugation with a recipient B. pertussis bacterium has been constructed. This vector is used in conjunction with a set of strains containing kanamycin resistance gene insertions at defined physical locations in the B. pertussis genome. In crosses between these donor strains and a mutant recipient strain, transfer of a chromosomal segment flanking the kanamycin resistance gene insertion is selected for, and the percentage of exconjugants which reacquire the wild-type trait is scored, In this way the linkage of the mutant allele to these markers, and thus the approximate chromosomal position of the mutant allele, is determined. We have used this genetic system to map a newly described locus in B. pertussis involved in the regulation of the virulence genes ptx (pertussis toxin) and cya (adenylate cyclase toxin).

Although the surviving population was heterogeneous with respect to degree of damage, two fractions of surviving cells defined as moderately and severely damaged were considered. Progeny of moderately damaged survivors (NaCl-sensitive but not enrichment medium-sensitive) increased about 100-fold in 5 h; severely damaged cells (enrichment medium- and NaCl-sensitive) did not grow in this time period. Most of the severely damaged cells required 20 h or longer to recover in TSBYE and even longer in TSBYE plus selective agents. Recovery was accelerated either by adding sodium pyruvate or by reducing the oxygen level. The results were used to design a Mark I preenrichment/enrichment protocol based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's selective enrichment broth.

To determine whether L-5-hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP) associated with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS) like illness contains impurities in a fashion similar to that described in L-tryptophan associated with EMS. Methods. Members of a family who became ill after exposure to L-5-HTP were evaluated at the National Institutes of Health. Data from patients with extended exposure to L-5-HTP were also examined. Samples of L-5-HTP were examined using high performance liquid chromatography. Results. One member of the family had EMS, and 2 others had eosinophilia. No patient in the other group reviewed developed the syndrome, although 2 patients developed eosinophilia. The L-5-HTP used by the family contained an impurity not present in samples from the other patient group. After replacement with L-5-HTP not containing this impurity, eosinophilia in 2 family members resolved. Conclusion. Some L-5-HTP contains impurities that may be related to L-5-HTP associated EMS.

Infrared measurements of CFAM were carried out on methyl ester derivatives as well-resolved chromatograms were obtained on a polar 100% cyanopropyl polysiloxane capillary GC column. By contrast, electron ionization MS of methyl ester derivatives was of limited value because of double bond migration during the ionization process in the mass spectrometer. This communication reports definitive MS fragmentation patterns that can confirm ring position and double bond position along the fatty acid chain in 1,2-disubstituted CFAM determined as 2-alkenyl-4,4-dimethyloxazoline derivatives. Double bond configuration (cis, trans, or conjugated cis,cis) in CFAM was confirmed by GC-MI-FTIR. The presence of CFAM, degradation products found in used frying oils, is a potential source of dietary toxicity. C1 US FDA,NATL CTR FOOD SAFETY & TECHNOL,SUMMIT ARGO,IL 60501.

Exposure to a variety of therapeutic agents, foods and dietary supplements, occupational and other toxic exposures, and infectious agents has been associated with the onset of lupus-like disorders. The mechanisms by which these agents might induce lupus remain unknown but may involve alteration of cellular components or activation of the immune system. Individual host susceptibility factors, including pre-existing organ dysfunction and particular metabolic enzyme or immunogenetic phenotypes, may also be important risk factors for development of environmentally-associated lupus-like disorders. Awareness of the many environmental agents implicated with lupus and related disorders, and dissection of their pathogenetic mechanisms through appropriate case-controlled investigations, may identify additional toxic agents and may lead to a better understanding of the idiopathic lupus syndromes.

A series of kanamycin-resistant insertional mutants of C. jejuni 81-176 has been generated and screened for loss of ability to invade INT407 cells. Eight noninvasive mutants were identified which showed 18-200-fold reductions in the level of invasion compared with the parent. Three of these eight show defects in motility, and five are fully motile. The three mutants with motility defects were further characterized to evaluate the method. One mutant, K2-32, which is non-adherent and non-invasive, has an insertion of the kanamycin-resistance cassette into the flaA flagellin gene and has greatly reduced motility and a truncated flagellar filament typical of flaA mutants, The adherent non-invasive mutants K2-37 and K2-55 are phenotypically paralysed, i.e. they have a full-length flagellar filament but are non-motile. All three mutants show an aberration in flagellar structure at the point at which the filament attaches to the cell. Mutants K2-37 and K2-55 represent overlapping deletions affecting the same gene, termed pflA (paralysed flagella), This gene encodes a predicted protein of 788 amino acid residues and a molecular weight of 90977 with no significant homology to known proteins. Site-specific insertional mutants into this open reading frame result in the same paralysed flagellar phenotype and the same invasion defects as the original mutants. The differences in adherence between the two classes of flagellar mutant suggest that flagellin can serve as a secondary adhesion, although other adhesins mediate a motility-dependent internalization process. Characterization of the mutants at the molecular level and in animal models should further contribute to our understanding of the pathogenicity of these organisms.

After 72-hr incubation, the IC50 values for FIAU were 6.4 mu M for U-937 cells and 26 mu M for MOLT-4 cells. IC50 values for FAU were 10-fold higher in both cell lines. Incubation for 24 hr with 10 mu M [2-C-14]FIAU led to 2.1% and 0.93% replacement of thymidine in DNA of U-937 and MOLT-4 cells, respectively. The predominant radioactive species measurable in DNA was FIAU. A similar incubation with [2-C-14]FAU resulted in 4-fold lower DNA incorporation of a single radioactive species that coeluted with 1-(2'-fluoro-2'-deoxy-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-methyluracil (FMAU). There was no evidence of a selective repair process after DNA incorporation of FIAU or FAU (FMAU). Increased intracellular concentrations of FIAU triphosphate and incorporation into DNA were associated with an increase in cellular toxicity. Continuous exposure to a clinically achievable concentration of FIAU, 0.44 mu M, produced a constant DNA incorporation of 0.80% and 0.11% for U-937 and MOLT-Q cells, respectively. FIAU was not readily metabolized to FAU or iodouracil by human liver in vitro. Compared with 2',3'-dideoxycytidine as a positive control, after 12 days of continuous exposure of U-937 and MOLT-4 cells to FIAU there was no evidence of increased lactate production. These data negate several possible mechanisms (DNA chain termination, DNA polymerase inhibition, one form of selective mitochondrial poisoning, and FAU-mediated toxicity) and provide clues for possible mechanisms (FIAU triphosphate concentration and DNA incorporation). Further work is needed to develop a complete explanation for the delayed hepatic toxicity observed in the investigational clinical trials of FIAU.

These observations are discussed in relation to the reported potentiation of the neurotoxic effects of these hexacarbons when exposure results from combinations with other solvents, e.g., acetone and methyl ethyl ketone. Treatments that result in neurotoxicity in experimental animals and humans and those that result in chromosome loss in a yeast genetic test system may be correlated by their activity on a common intracellular target.

The doubling time or mitotic delay under these conditions has been shown to depend on the dose rate in HeLa, V79 and P388F cells (Mitchell et al., Radiat. Res. 79, 520-536, 1979; Fox and Gilbert, Int. J. Radiat. Biol. 11, 339-347, 1966). Re-analysis of the data for these particular cell lines shows that there is a threshold dose rate for mitotic delay, and that above the threshold there is a linear relationship between the length of mitotic delay and the logarithm of the dose rate which is referred to as the dose-rate response. We have observed the same relationships for L5178Y (LY)-R and LY-S cells exposed to low-dose-rate radiation. The threshold dose rates for LY-R, LY-S and P388F cells are similar (0.01-0.02 Gy/h) and are much lower than for V79 and HeLa cells. The slope of the dose-rate response curve is the greatest for HeLa cells, followed in order by LY-S, V79 and P388F cells, and finally by LY-R cells. The slopes for HeLa and LY-R cells differ by a factor of 35. C1 CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIV,DEPT RADIOL,DIV RADIAT BIOL,CLEVELAND,OH 44106. MIT,BIOMAT SCI & ENGN LAB,BOSTON,MA 02139.

Multiple replicate assays were conducted under identical conditions to assess the reproducibility of the dose-response curve for cleft palate. The data were fitted to the probit, logistic, multistage or Armitage-Doll, and Weibull dose-response model separately for each route of exposure. The curves were then tested for parallel slopes (probit and logistic models) or coincidence of model parameters (multistage and Weibull models). The 19 replicate experiments had a wide range of slope estimates, wider for the oral than for the intramuscular experiments. For all models and both routes of exposure the null hypothesis of equality of slopes was rejected at a significant level of p < 0.001. For the intramuscular group of replicates, rejection of slope equality could in part be explained by not maintaining a standard dosing regime. The rejection of equivalence of dose-response curves from replicate studies showed that it is difficult to reproduce dose-response data of a single study within the limits defined by the dose-response model. This has important consequences for quantitative risk assessment, public health measures, or development of mechanistic theories which are typically based on a single animal bioassay.

The model consists of brain, body, venous, and arterial compartments. The brain; compartment is subdivided into brain plasma, brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Brain uptake is membrane-limited via a blood-brain barrier with saturable clearance from the CSF into the venous blood by the choroid plexus. The body has both a central and a deep compartment with saturable renal clearance from the central compartment. The model was used to examine venous plasma time course curves with experimental data from rats given 2,4-D by i.v. (5 or 90 mg/kg) or by oral ingestion (10, 50, or 150 mg/kg). The model was then extended to examine studies in which rabbit plasma, brain, and CSF concentrations were measured at 2 h after i.p. injection (40 mg/kg). In the rat, elimination was saturable (V-max2 = 3.45 mg/h; K-m2 = 86 mg/l) and the deep-compartment transfer coefficients were K-12 (0.013 l/h) and K-21 (0.048 l/h) between body and deep tissue compartment. Both oral and i.v. data were well described with these values. Limited single time point brain data from rabbits were analyzed with a lumped brain model assuming the generic model for 2,4-D in rat applies to the rabbit. The model simulations were in good agreement with rabbit plasma, brain, and CSF concentrations at 2 h after i.p. injection. C1 CHEM IND INST TOXICOL,RES TRIANGLE PK,NC 27709.

The major regulatory review process in the US consists of an institutional review board, the recombinant DNA advisory committee (RAC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Within the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, the Division of Cellular and Gene Therapies has been formed to primarily review investigational new drug applications (INDs) for cellular and gene therapies. Several appropriate ''points to consider'' documents have been prepared and the RAC has approved over 40 clinical protocols. Advances in biotechnology and the scientific basis for these advances are changing rapidly. Although a flexible, case-by-case approach is necessitated by these rapid changes, regulatory concerns common to all biologicals administered to human subjects remain unchanged. These include safety, efficacy, purity, potency, quality control and assessment, and reproducibility of individual lots. The goal of the review process is a prompt, complete and meticulous review. The emphasis of a pre-IND meeting is toward a working relationship between the sponsor and the FDA prior to the phase I, II and III clinical trials. A timely and ongoing evaluation of pre-clinical testing cannot be overemphasized in this rapidly growing and changing field. The development of a working relationship at this stage will ensure a seamless integration of the IND process with the product and establishment license applications. Because replication-competent retrovirus (RCR) represents a potential for pathogenicity, the FDA is recommending a conservative approach to RCR testing.

Most methods have been unsatisfactory from a statistical viewpoint, many because they have relied solely on visual evaluation, others because the methods have not taken into account the variability of the measurements. We describe a direct approach for quantifying the joint potency of two drugs, a central feature being the use of simple isobole models that lead directly to response surface models for the expected experimental outcomes. The approach is general in the sense that one can use it for discrete or continuous responses, different underlying probability distributions, linear or non-linear dose-response functions of the drugs used singly, and a variety of experimental designs, Our approach extends the suggestions made by Hewlett for measuring the joint potency of drugs, and is similar in spirit to the approaches proposed by Greco ef al. and Weinstein et al. We describe the analysis of data from an in vitro experiment conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the antiviral drugs AZT and ddI used in combination. C1 STATCOMP,WARRENTON,VA 22186.

After acute heating at 45 degrees for 15 min, cells became resistant to a challenge heat shock. The development of thermotolerance was suppressed by adding H-7 after heat shock. Northern blots show that the levels of HSP70 and HSP28 mRNA increased rapidly and reached maximal values within 6 hr. H-7 suppressed the accumulation of HSP70 and HSP28 mRNA as well as their protein synthesis, and the Level of suppression was concentration dependent. However, little effect was observed if the drug was added 1 hr before and during heat shock.

This reaction, generally referred to as the coupling reaction, is catalyzed in the thyroid by the heme-containing glycoprotein enzyme, thyroid peroxidase, also a thyroid-specific protein. The coupling reaction is, however, not specific for thyroid peroxidase; it is also efficiently catalyzed by other heme-containing peroxidases. Peroxidase-catalyzed coupling may also occur between a monoiodotyrosyl and a diiodotyrosyl residue in thyroglobulin to form the more potent thyroid hormone, 3',3,5-triiodothyronine. Under most conditions, thyroxine formation in the thyroid is greatly favored over that of 3',3,5-triiodothyronine. Two mechanisms have been proposed for the coupling reaction, a radical mechanism and an ionic mechanism. In this, and in the following paper, we present evidence favoring a radical mechanism. This view is based primarily on the observation that peroxidase-catalyzed coupling is markedly stimulated by substoichiometric concentrations of free diiodotyrosine (DIT). Evidence obtained in this and in the following paper leads us to conclude that the stimulatory effect of DIT on coupling involves peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of the added DIT to a radical form. We propose that this stimulation involves a radical chain propagation mechanism. This implies that peroxidase-catalyzed coupling in the absence of DIT must also be a radical-mediated reaction.

SINGLE TURNOVER EXPERIMENTS WITH HORSERADISH-PEROXIDASE SO ARCHIVES OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND BIOPHYSICS LA English DT Article ID CYTOCHROME-C PEROXIDASE; THYROID-HORMONE SYNTHESIS; LACTOPEROXIDASE-H2O2 COMPOUNDS; THYROGLOBULIN IODINATION; OXIDIZING EQUIVALENTS; OXIDATION; SYNTHASE; PHENOLS; SITE AB Single turnover experiments were performed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to study the mechanism of peroxidase-catalyzed coupling and its stimulation by low concentrations of free diiodotyrosine (DIT). HRP was used because, unlike thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and lactoperoxidase (LPO), the spectral properties of compounds I and II are readily distinguishable. This made it possible to correlate the kinetics and stoichiometry of T-4 + T-3 formation with spectral data. Incubation of 2 mu M preformed HRP-I with 2 mu M [I-125]Tg (thyroglobulin of low hormone content, high iodotyrosine content) in the presence of 1 mu M free DIT yielded about 0.8 residue T-4 and 0.2 residue T-3 per molecule of Tg. This represents the theoretical maximum for iodothyronine formation, indicating remarkably efficient use of the oxidizing equivalents in HRP-I for coupling. The time course for formation of T-4 + T-3 was biphasic. During a rapid initial phase (about 1 min), HRP-I was completely converted to HRP-II, coincident with the formation of about 0.65 residues of T-4 + T-3. During the second slower phase, lasting 10-15 min, HRP-II was completely reduced to the native enzyme, with formation of the remaining T-4 + T-3. In the absence of DIT, the coupling yield was reduced to 0.5-0.6 residue T-4 + T-3 per molecule Tg, and the reaction, although considerably slower, was still biphasic. The rapid phase again corresponded to the conversion of HRP-I to HRP-II, and the slower phase to the conversion of HRP-II to native enzyme. To gain insight into the mechanism of the stimulatory effect of free DIT on coupling, we studied the reaction of DIT with HRP-I and HRP-II. Free DIT reacted with both HRP-I and HRP-II in one-electron transfer reactions, and the time course for these reductions resembled those observed with DIT + Tg. These observations suggest that in DIT-stimulated coupling, free DIT radicals act as a shuttle for transferring oxidizing equivalents from the peroxidase intermediates to the DIT residues in Tg. The remarkable efficiency of the HRP-I-mediated coupling reaction implies that (i) only hormonogenic residues in Tg are oxidized and (ii) oxidation of two hormonogenic residues occurs within the same molecule of Tg. A scheme which attempts to explain both kinetic and stoichiometric features of the coupling reaction observed in this study is proposed. This scheme is based on a radical mechanism, consistent with the conclusions reached in the companion paper. It shows that HRP-II is an obligatory intermediate when coupling is initiated with HRP-I. In confirmation of previous studies, we observed in single turnover experiments that cytochrome c peroxidase compound ES and the protein radical form of LPO compound I are also very efficient mediators of coupling in the presence of free DIT. The observation that single turnover coupling with HRP-I is considerably faster than with the protein radical form of LPO-I raises the possibility that, under catalytic conditions, coupling with LPO (and also with TPO) may involve, at least partially, the pi-cation radical form of compound I.

This activity showed characteristics of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). Degenerate oligonucleotide primer sets derived from the highly conserved carboxyl-terminal region of the BMP family were designed and used in reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions with poly(A)(+) RNA from articular cartilage as template to determine which BMPs are produced by chondrocytes. Two novel members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily were identified and designated cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein-1 (CDMP-1) and -2 (CDMP-2). Their carboxyl-terminal TGF-beta domains are 82% identical, thus defining a novel subfamily most closely related to BMP-B, BMP-6, and osteogenic protein-1. Northern analyses showed that both genes are predominantly expressed in cartilaginous tissues. In situ hybridization and immunostaining of sections from human embryos showed that CDMP-1 was predominantly found at the stage of precartilaginous mesenchymal condensation and throughout the cartilaginous cores of the developing long bones, whereas CDMP-2 expression was restricted to the hypertrophic chondrocytes of ossifying long bone centers. Neither gene was detectable in the axial skeleton during human embryonic development. The cartilage-specific localization pattern of these novel TGF-beta superfamily members, which contrasts with the more ubiquitous presence of other BMP family members, suggests a potential role for these proteins in chondrocyte differentiation and growth of long bones.

To examine the role of TCR zeta chain signals in development, TCR expression was restored in zeta-deficient mice with transgenic zeta chains that partially or completely lacked sequences required for signal transduction. The zeta chain played a role in thymic development by promoting TCR surface expression, but zeta-mediated signals were not essential because TCRs that contained signaling-deficient zeta chains promoted T cell maturation and transduced signals associated with thymic selection.

After birth, cytochrome P450 and its NADPH-dependent reductase activities remained unchanged in veal calves; in ruminating calves they increased almost 50%. Cytochrome P450-mediated reactions, such as aniline hydroxylase activity, tripled in ruminating calves, but remained unchanged in veal calves. In both groups of calves, coumarin hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin 0-deethylase activities increased after birth, but maturation rates and activity values in ruminating calves were considerably greater than those of veal calves. The aminopyrine N-demethylase activity for veal calves was equal to that of calves with functioning rumen. Uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid glucuronyl transferase and glutathione-S-transferase activities also were higher in calves with functioning rumen than in veal calves. This increased activity in calves with functioning rumen probably represents a response to environmental exposure to xenobiotics. Compared with numen-functional calves, bob veal (0 to 3 weeks old) and fancy veal (15 to 19 weeks old) calves fed commercial milk replacer have a significantly (P = 0.05) diminished capacity for metabolizing drugs and other xenobiotics. From a regulatory perspective, the variance in drug-metabolizing enzyme activities within these different market classes of calves suggests that specific studies designed to determine drug residue-depletion times in veal calves may be needed.

C. elegans grown on Sabouraud dextrose broth transformed [C-14]BA to labeled BA trans-8,9-dihydrodiol (90%), BA trans-10,11-dihydrodiol (6%), and BA trans-3,4-dihydrodiol (4%), but not to BA trans-5,6-dihydrodiol. These metabolites were separated by thin-layer chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and were identified by UV and mass spectral techniques. A BA tetraol, 8 beta,9 alpha, 10 alpha,11 beta-tetrahydroxy-8 alpha,9 beta,10 beta,11 alpha-tetrahydro-BA, was also identified as a metabolite and may have arisen as an additional oxidation product of either BA 8,9- or 10,11-dihydrodiol. This is the first study in which a biologically produced BA tetraol has been identified. Our results suggest that the transformation of BA to trans-dihydrodiols by C. elegans is similar to the transformation of BA found in mammals, except that BA 5,6-dihydrodiol is not produced.

The activation of type I adenylyl cyclase by forskolin and G(s alpha) was not greater than additive. In contrast, there was synergistic activation of type II, V, and VI adenylyl cyclases by G(s alpha) and forskolin. G(s alpha) potentiated the effect of forskolin on type II adenylyl cyclase to the greatest extent. Type I and II adenylyl cyclases were photolabeled specifically by an iodinated photoaffinity derivative of forskolin ([I-125]-6-AIPP-Fsk). Type I adenylyl cylcase was photolabeled efficiently in the absence of G(s alpha), and the addition of G(s alpha) only slightly increased the labeling efficiency. In contrast, type II adenylyl cyclase was not photolabeled efficiently in the absence of G(s alpha), and the addition of G(s alpha) greatly enhanced the labeling efficiency. Potolabeling of type V and VI adenylyl cyclases was detected only in the presence of G(s alpha). Neither carcium/calmodulin nor G protein beta gamma subunits modulated the photolabeling of type I or II adenylyl cyclases. Another iodinated derivative of forskolin, [I-125]-6-IHPP-Fsk, bound to Sf9 cell membranes expressing type I adenylyl cyclase with high affinity in a filtration binding assay, and the specific binding was not enhanced by the addition of G(s alpha). In contrast, specific binding of [I-125] -6-IHPP-Fsk to membranes expressing type II adenylyl cyclase was detected only in the presence of G(s alpha). [I-125]-6- IHPP-Fsk bound to membranes expressing type I adenylyl cyclase with a K-d of 8 nM and a B-max of 6.4 pmol/mg protein. The K-d for binding of [(125)]-6-IHPP-Fsk to membranes expressing type II adenylyl cyclase in the presence of G(s alpha) was 134 nM, and the B-max was 11.2 pmol/mg protein. Deoxy and desacetyl derivatives of forskolin displaced the binding of [I-125]-6-IHPP-Fsk to membranes expressing type I and II adenylyl cyclases with a similar rank order of potency. However, the affinity of these derivatives for the type I enzyme was between 6- and 20-fold higher than that for the type II enzyme. C1 US FDA, CTR BIOL EVALUAT & RES, ROCKVILLE, MD 20852 USA.

Increasing the resolution from 1000 to 3500, however, was sufficient to separate the analyte signals from the noise signals, and resulted in a 100 times higher analytical sensitivity. The introduction of sweep gas in the ion source decreased the scattering of the quantitative results on average by a factor of 7, and thereby improved the precision of the analyses to an acceptable level (CV < 10%). Under such conditions, CAP residues of 1.5 and 2.1 ppb in shrimp as determined by electron capture gas chromatography/mass spectrometry can readily be identified by monitoring four diagnostic ions.

Dietary restriction of rodents is well known to reproducibly retard development of spontaneous and chemically induced tumors. We reasoned that the decrease in metabolic and hormonal trophic factors induced with this intervention could promote selective cell deletion via apoptosis. To pursue this possibility, we quantified the spontaneous apoptotic rate in liver sections from diet-restricted (DR) and nd libitum-fed (AL) 12-month-old male C57BL/6 x C3H F-1 mice, a murine strain known to develop a high incidence of spontaneous liver tumors by Ig months of age. The identification of hepatocyte apoptotic bodies was facilitated by irt situ end-labeling immunohistochemistry. The basal rate of proliferation of hepatocytes was quantified utilizing proliferating cell nuclear antigen immunohistochemistry. The incidence of apoptotic bodies and total proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells was enumerated in 14 mice/group by scoring 50,000 random hepatocytes/liver and expressed as the mean incidence/100 cells. When the comparison was made between diet groups, the apoptotic rate was significantly higher in the DR mice relative to the AL mice, while the proliferation rate was significantly lower (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). The increase in spontaneous level of apoptosis and the decrease in proliferation rate in livers of DR mice were associated with a significantly lower rate of spontaneous hepatoma over a 36-month period. In summary, the results suggest that caloric intake may modulate the basal turnover rates of cell death and proliferation in a direction consistent with a cancer-protective effect in the DR mice and a cancer-promoting effect in AL mice.

Taxol metabolism was studied using membrane fractions from Hep G(2) cells infected with recombinant vaccinia viruses that contain complementary DNAs encoding several human cytochrome P450 enzymes. Only P450 2C8 formed detectable 6 alpha-hydroxytaxol. Metabolite B formation was catalyzed by complementary DNA-expressed 3A3 and 3A4, but not by 3A5. Each P450 3A preparation catalyzed felodipine oxidation. The apparent K-m and V-max values for taxol 6 alpha-hydroxylation were 5.4 +/- 1.0 mu M and 30 +/- 1.5 nmol/min/nmol P450, respectively, for complementary DNA-expressed P450 2C8; the values were 4.0 +/- 1.0 mu M and 0.87 +/- 0.06 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively, for human hepatic microsomes. The inhibition of 6 alpha-hydroxytaxol formation by quercetin was competitive with an apparent K-i of 1.3 or 1.1 mu M with 2C8 or hepatic microsomes, respectively; retinoic acid was inhibitory, showing an apparent K-i of 27 mu M with hepatic microsomes; inhibition by tolbutamide was complex, weak, and unlikely to be clinically relevant. The correlation between hepatic 2C8 protein content and 6 alpha-hydroxytaxol formation was high (r(2) = 0.82), while the correlation with 2C9 content was low (r(2) = 0.38). These data show that human biotransformation routes of taxol result from catalysis by specific enzymes of two P450 families and that taxol 6 alpha-hydroxylation is a useful indicator of P450 2C8 activity in human hepatic microsomes.

In rat liver and in rat hepatocytes in primary culture, expression of mdr1 genes can be induced with the carcinogenic aromatic amine 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF). As a consequence, increased P-glycoprotein levels led to an accelerated efflux of vinblastine from the hepatocytes and to resistance towards vinblastine-mediated cytotoxicity. N-Hydroxylation, an obligatory initial step in the activation of 2-AAF into electrophilic DNA-binding metabolites is catalyzed predominantly by cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A2, an isozyme present in normal rat liver. In rat hepatocytes in primary culture, mdr1 induction with 2-AAF could be inhibited by addition of the CYP1A-inhibitor alpha-naphthoflavone, indicating the requirement for metabolic conversion of 2-AAF to act as an inducer of mdr1 gene expression. Both N-hydroxy-2-AAF and the mutagenic 2-AAF derivative N-acetoxy-2-AAF (AAAF) were more potent than 2-AAF as mdr1 inducers. mdr1 induction also decreased when deacetylation of AAAF, which strongly accelerates its conversion into a mutagen, was inhibited with paraoxon. Furthermore, rat liver epithelial cells stably transfected with mouse CYP1A2 showed inducibility of mdr1 gene expression with 2-AAF, whereas the parental cell line, which is devoid of CYP1A2 activity, did not. These findings indicate that electrophilic metabolites formed during 2-AAF or AAAF metabolism are responsible for mdr1 induction in rat hepatocytes. The increased mdr1 gene expression mag reflect an adaptive cellular response to electrophiles which includes enhanced synthesis of P-glycoprotein aimed to protect the cell from further damage.

In the present study, removal of N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-aminofluorene was observed in situ by microfluorometry. Frozen liver sections from animals fed 0.02% 2-acetylaminofluorene for 28 days, followed by a control diet for 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days, were examined immunohistochemically for localization of N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-aminofluorene with fluorescein-conjugated secondary antiserum. In addition, bile ducts and oval cells were stained with antibodies to keratins using Texas red-labelled indirect immunofluorescence. Hoechst dye was used to identify DNA in nuclei. During the 28 days on the control diet, after 28 days of feeding 2-acetylaminofluorene, the DNA adduct concentrations of parenchymal liver cells were reduced by 85%, as compared to animals fed only the carcinogen for 28 days. Periportal hepatocytes exhibited biphasic (fast and slow) adduct removal. Only fast adduct removal was demonstrated in midzonal and centrilobular hepatocytes, since the adduct levels were below the detectable range in these regions after 7 days on the control diet. After 28 days on the control diet, N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-aminofluorene was detected in similar to 50% of periportal hepatocytes. These results are compatible with the previously observed biphasic removal profile determined by radioimmunoassay of whole liver DNA adducts and indicate that periportal hepatocytes remove adducts from two distinct genomic compartments.

The method is based on alkaline hydrolysis of PhIP from DNA, followed by organic solvent extraction, derivatization to form the electron-capturing bis(pentafluorobenzyl) derivative, and analysis by gas chromatography/electron capture mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using a deuterium-labeled internal standard. The method can detect PhIP-DNA adducts at levels down to 0.03 fmol of PhIP/mu g of DNA (1 PhIP adduct/10(8) normal nucleotides) for a 100 mu g sample of DNA. The method is reproducible for sample sizes ranging up to at least 1000 mu g of DNA. A series of 20 DNA samples from 5 tissues of rats treated with a single oral dose of PhIP were analyzed both by alkaline hydrolysis-GC/MS and by P-32-postlabeling. Results from the two methods were highly correlated (r(2) = 0.83), with adduct levels determined by alkaline hydrolysis-GC/MS averaging about 60% of the levels determined by P-32-postlabeling. A pilot survey of 24 individual human tissue DNA samples, including pancreas (n = 12), colon mucosa (n = 6), and urinary bladder epithelium (n = 6), was carried out by alkaline hydrolysis-GC/MS and P-32-postlabeling. Both methods provided evidence for PhIP-DNA adducts in two of the colon samples, but not in the samples from human pancreas or urinary bladder. C1 INT AGCY RES CANC,F-69372 LYON 08,FRANCE.

The deoxyguanosinyl group of this adduct resides at the C6 position, which is remote from the reaction site, the nitrenium ion. It is significant to determine if formation of this type of DNA adduct is general and whether or not adduct formation is due to an increase in the stabilization of the nitrenium ion by increasing aromaticity. Thus, reduction of 1-nitro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene, 3-nitro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene, and 1-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene, both chemically and enzymatically, followed by reaction with calf thymus DNA was investigated. DNA was isolated and enzymatically digested, and the resulting modified nucleosides were separated by HPLC. Upon spectral analyses by mass and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, 6-(deoxyguanosin-N-2-yl)-1-amino-7,8,9, 10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene, 6-(deoxyguanosin-N-2-yl)-3-amino-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene, and 6-(deoxyguanosin-N-2-yl)-1-aminobenzo[a]pyrene were identified, respectively. The same DNA adducts were formed from xanthine oxidase-mediated reductive metabolism of 1-nitro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene, 3-nitro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene, and 1-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene in the presence of calf thymus DNA. These results indicate that formation of N-2-deoxyguanosinyl adducts of this type is common and that increasing the aromaticity by increasing the number of aromatic rings is not a decisive factor in directing their formation.

Antibodies to the B oligomer were detected by ELISA in all samples containing antibodies to holotoxin. Western immunoblotting procedures were less efficient than ELISA techniques for detecting antibodies to the B oligomer. Antibodies which inhibit the ability of the B oligomer to agglutinate erythrocytes were detected in purified human immunoglobulin preparations. In addition, serum samples containing antibodies to PT inhibited the binding of purified B oligomer and holotoxin to a 165-kDa glycoprotein which has been considered a potential PT receptor in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. These results suggest that antibodies to the B oligomer contribute to the human serologic response to PT, but their detection and characterization require appropriate methods.

We report the ultrastructural localization of CD36 in the liver using a novel murine monoclonal antibody against CD36, namely MO30, as a primary antibody. Immunocytochemistry by the postembedding method showed that CD36 was localized in endothelial cells of sinusoids and in hepatocyte microvilli protruding into the space of Disse.

A number of binding mechanisms have been described for the interaction of FHA with eukaryotic cells. We have focused on its function as a sulfated polysaccharide-binding protein and on identifying potential receptors for FHA on the epithelial cell surface. Using a thin-layer overlay technique, we found that FHA binds specifically to sulfated glycolipids but not to gangliosides or other neutral glycolipids. These results suggest that epithelial cell surface sulfated glycolipids function as receptors for FHA. Further studies demonstrated that a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell strain deficient in glycosaminoglycan expression exhibits greatly diminished attachment to FHA. By FRA-Affi-Gel chromatography, a putative receptor for FHA that has characteristics consistent with a heparan sulfate proteoglycan was isolated from epithelial cell extracts. In addition, by using recombinant FHA fusion proteins, a specific glycosaminoglycan-binding domain located near the N terminus of the FHA molecule was identified. Our results indicate that the B. pertussis adhesin FHA may utilize sulfated glycolipids and proteoglycans commonly found on the surface of human cells and tissues to initiate infection.

Here we ligated the uterine vessels of gestational day (GD) 21 rat pups to produce ischemic hypoxia. We confirmed that HSP-72 protein, as previously reported, was activated in the perinatal rat pup, especially in the hippocampal CA3 region. However, the capability of hippocampal cells to produce c-fos protein following drug-induced seizures has been reported to develop only after postnatal day 13. Here, ischemic hypoxia caused CA1 hippocampal cells to produce immunohistochemically detectable c-fos protein in GD-21 rats. These results seem to contradict the previous reports of no c-fos induction in rats this young by demonstrating a functional c-fos translational mechanism by GD-21. However, seizure vs ischemic hypoxia-induced c-fos expression may involve several different pre-translational pathways. A delayed development of a receptor, second messenger, or genomic element for regulating c-fos transcription remain as possible explanations for the late maturity of responsivity to seizures.

Skinless, ground chicken breast meat was heated to various internal EPTs at 5 degrees C intervals in a water bath and then stored frozen. Samples were analyzed by a purge and trap dynamic headspace GC system with a HP-5 50 m x 0.32 mm x 1.05 mu m column (cross-linked 5% phenyl methyl silicone). Optimum parameters of the dynamic headspace system were developed. Dependent on sample treatment, approximately 50 compounds were detectable by this method. Most of these volatile compounds increased in peak areas and peak heights as the EPT increased, particularly between 60 and 70 degrees C. The dynamic headspace GC profile is highly correlated to EPT of previously heated chicken breast meat under controlled conditions. Major volatiles identified included pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, propanol, 2-methylpropanal, 2,3-butanedione, 2-butanone, 3-methylbutanal, 1-penten-3-ol, dimethyl disulfide, heptanone, 7-octen-4-ol, and nonanal.

Concentrations of radionuclide activity in the Total Diet Study and reactor-survey foods were in Range I or low in Range II of the surveillance and control recommendations of the Federal Radiation Council; no control actions were suggested. Dietary intake of Sr-90 continued the general decline observed since 1961. Approximately 2600 test portions of imported foods were analyzed for contamination associated with the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Concentrations of radionuclide activity were below limits of detection for the vast majority of the imported food test portions but were above the levels of concern for 23 portions. Since 1986, the fraction of imported food test portions having measurable amounts of contamination has steadily declined, as have the average concentrations of radionuclide activity; however, contamination is still occasionally found. Continued monitoring of both domestic and imported foods is planned. C1 US FDA,WINCHESTER ENGN & ANALYT CTR,WINCHESTER,MA 01890.

With this method, LGV is isolated from the fat matrix by a series of liquid-liquid extractions. This trial evaluated 2 detection systems: electrochemical (EC) and ultraviolet (UV). The participating laboratories determined incurred residues at 2 levels as well as fat samples fortified at 5, 10, and 20 ppb. Using UV detection, the 3 laboratories reported the following range of recoveries: 71.0-89.6% at 5 ppb, 74.7-83.9% at 10 ppb, and 77.2-79.0% at 20 ppb. When these same samples were chromatographed with EC detection, the 2 reporting laboratories obtained the following average recoveries: 79.0 and 92.5% at 5 ppb, 75.9 and 85.4% at 10 ppb, and 77.3 and 79.8% at 20 ppb. The average concentrations found for the first level of incurred sample were 6.3, 6.3, and 5.4 ppb with coefficients of variation (CVs) of 2.4, 7.6, and 33.7%, respectively, when UV detection was used.

A solution containing the product and a known amount of an internal standard, musk tibetene (MT), is injected directly into a gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector. The chromatographic separation of the components on a wide-bore fused silica capillary column is recorded and a response constant is calculated from MA and MT peak heights. A similar response constant is also calculated for a standard solution containing known concentrations of MA and MT. The MA content of the fragrance product is then calculated. Average recoveries of MA from fragrance products ranged from 97.6 to 102.3%. The method was also evaluated collaboratively by 6 laboratories.

Identifications were performed by analysis of cellular fatty acid profiles which were automatically searched against reference profiles stored in a computer-generated library. Each of the 13 collaborators was sent 15 unknown isolates, which included 10 V. vulnificus isolates and 5 negative control isolates. Each collaborator was furnished with a computer-generated library, developed by the Dallas U.S. Food and Drug Administration laboratory, which contained entries for V. vulnificus, V. cholerae, V. fluvialis, V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, and Aeromonas hydrophila. Of the 195 isolates sent to the collaborators, results for 190 isolates were received. The other 5 isolates were nonviable before analyses began. Of the 126 V. vulnificus isolates analyzed, 118(93.7%) were correctly identified. Of the 65 negative control isolates sent, one was nonviable, one was misidentified as V. vulnificus, and 2 were misidentified as V. parahaemolyticus.

Cytokines produced by CD4(+) T helper type 1 (Th1) T cells mediate delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and inflammatory responses, whereas cytokines produced by Th2 T cells mediate helper T cell functions for antibody production. To determine whether induction of Th2-like cells would modulate an inflammatory response, interleukin 4 (IL-4) was administered to animals with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), a prototypic autoimmune disease produced by Th1-like T cells specific for myelin basic protein (MBP). IL-4 treatment resulted in amelioration of clinical disease, the induction of MBP-specific Th2 cells, diminished demyelination, and inhibition of the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system (CNS). Modulation of an immune response from one dominated by excessive activity of Th1-like T cells to one dominated by the protective cytokines produced by Th2-like T cells may have applicability to the therapy of certain human autoimmune diseases.

Levels of toxigenic V. cholerae in the oysters, estimated by the most probable number procedure, ranged from 10(1) to 10(7) per 100 g. Isolates characterized by pulsed field gel electrophoresis resembled isolates previously recovered from five cargo ships docked at Gulf of Mexico ports. This study details the first reported isolation of toxigenic V. cholerae O1 from oysters in U.S. coastal waters. As with the Gulf Coast strain, the occurrence of the epidemic strain seems to be sporadic and essentially limited to the warmer months.

Fresh catfish fillets inoculated with a mixture of spores from five strains of C. botulinum type E were packaged in high barrier film with air, vacuum and modified atmosphere and stored at 4, 8 or 16 degrees C for up to 75 days. Toxin production was monitored during storage by both mouse bioassay (trypsin and non-trypsin treated) and ELISA-ELCA on the non-trypsinized samples. All 26 inoculated products that were positive by the mouse bioassay were also positive by ELISA-ELCA. Of 35 uninoculated samples which were not toxic in mouse bioassay, none were positive by ELISA-ELCA; of 73 inoculated samples which were not toxic by mouse bioassay, 14 had toxin measurable by the ELISA-ELCA. The position of these immunoassay-positives in the sampling sequence indicated that the toxin was identified by the immunoassay before it was found in the mouse bioassay. These results suggest that the ELISA-ELCA technique is a usable alternative to the mouse bioassay for monitoring C. botulinum type E toxin production in fish challenge studies.

This estimate of effect is generally referred to as the 'trough' effect and is, by conventional practice (although not required to be), usually the effect before the first morning dose. Peak effect: Another estimate of effect, which represents the maximum effect of any single dose administered during a multiple-dose regimen, is strongly recommended for most drugs for most indications. This estimate of effect is generally referred to as the 'peak' effect and is, by conventional practice, usually the effect of the first morning dose measured a few hours after the dose is taken. Trough:peak ratio: The two measurements, trough and peak, are intended to estimate the duration of effect of a single dose. Generally, if 50-75% of the peak effect of a dose is preserved at trough, issues concerning the proper dosing interval do not arise. The closer to no loss of effect throughout the dosing interval the better.

Patterns of fermentation end products during growth of B. amyloliquefaciens were obtained from HPLC analysis of broth samples. Data were also obtained from fermentations using other bacterial species, strains, and environmental conditions, and were compared with the model data set. The bacterial species cultured included B. subtilus, B. licheniformis, and Escherichia coli. Environmental variables included aeration and temperature. The chromatographic patterns were compared by using hierarchical cluster and principal component analysis to obtain a quantitative measure of their similarity and to establish the normal variability within a model data set. Statistical analysis of the data indicated that individual fermentations can be assigned to distinct clusters on the basis of their divergence from the model system. Altered environments and other species can be identified as outliers from the model set. These results show that pattern recognition analysis has direct applicability to monitoring fermentation processes.

With repeated use by different customers, however, the tester kits provided by many retail outlets can become potential vectors of microbial pathogens. A survey was conducted to assess the health risk from bacteria found on shared-use cosmetics. A total of 3027 shared-use cosmetic product samples were collected from 171 retail establishments throughout the contiguous United States. Eye, face and lip cosmetics were tested with in situ nondestructive swabbing and the use of the Transette 3R Modified Amies Charcoal Culture and Transport System. Bacteria were isolated from about 50% of the items for all three categories. Semiquantitatively-estimated mean densities were 2288, 1685 and 1088 CFU g-1 for eye, face and lip products, respectively. Ranges for all categories were 0-10(5) CFU g-1. About 5% of the items had bacterial counts above 5000 CFU g-1 (eye products) or 10 000 CFU g-1 (other products). More than 60% of isolates were typical of microflora from human skin; the remainder were environmental microbes. About 60% of the isolates were Gram-positive cocci: Staphylococcus spp. (especially S. epidermidis) and Micrococcus spp. The Gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa constituted 0.07% of the isolates. The survey results suggest that the preservation systems of some of the cosmetics failed under excessive use (abuse), and indicated a potential for microbiological safety problems with shared-use cosmetics.

Development of antibodies potentially cross-reactive to plasminogen has been reported in a high percentage ofThai patients with DF and DHF/DSS. Correlation between detection of plasminogen cross-reactive antibodies and hemorrhage was evaluated in 88 Tahitian children with dengue virus type 3 infection who presented with (n = 59) or without (n = 29) hemorrhage. Plasminogen cross-reactive antibodies were found in acute and convalescent sera of 33 and 11 children, respectively (56% vs. 31%, P < .05), and closely paralleled antibodies to the cross-reactive site in dengue virus E protein. Antibodies were more frequent in children with secondary than primary infections (60% vs. 32%, P < .05). Plasminogen cross-reactive antibodies did not correlate with occurrence of DHF/DSS or thrombocytopenia. These results are consistent with the possibility that plasminogen cross-reactive antibodies play a role in the etiology of hemorrhage in dengue virus infection.

The overall effects of UV radiation exposure on HIV-1 infection in human beings are unknown. Objective: Our purpose was to observe CD4 cell counts and quantitative markers of HIV-1 load in late-stage HIV-1-infected human beings receiving PUVA for various cutaneous diseases. Methods: Samples of peripheral blood were obtained on days 0, 14, 30, and 60 of PUVA administered in therapeutic doses. Number of CD4(+) T lymphocytes was determined by flow cytometry, and HIV-1 load was measured by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction for viral genome in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, semiquantitative RNA-polymerase chain reaction for HIV-1 RNA in serum, and determination of p24 in serum. Results: No significant changes in the measurements were observed. Conclusion: This study did not detect a deleterious effect on CD4 cell count or HIV-1 load during 2 months of PUVA treatment for patients in late stages of infection, with low CD4 cell counts and high HIV-1 loads.

The SPE fraction was collected off the GPC column and injected onto a reverse phase C-18 column for quantitation with sucrose octaacetate as an internal standard and a gradient of nonaqueous solvents as mobile phase. The chromatograms were interference-free, with only two sharp peaks appearing. The standards were linear from 500 to 5000 mu g/mL with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.999. The mean percent recovery (n = 9) and standard deviation were 102 +/- 6.7. The detector could detect amounts as low as 5 mu g SPE. C1 UNIV GEORGIA,DEPT FOOD SCI & TECHNOL,ATHENS,GA 30602.

Human exposure has been documented, and therefore it is important to investigate the toxic potential of this compound. When DEHP was administered in vivo, it was found to be a developmental toxicant in rodents. The purpose oi this investigation was to determine if DEHP was directly embryotoxic to rat embryos. Embryos were cultured for 44 h beginning on gestational d 10. Embryos were cultured in rat serum to which DEHP was added to attain final concentrations within the 0.01-2.0% range. DEHP decreased growth and development at all tested concentrations higher than 0.5%. These results suggest that the parent compound itself is able to alter normal embryonic growth and development; however the high embryotoxic concentrations are unlikely to be attained in vivo.

Based on analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and by ultraviolet (UV), mass, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral techniques, the compounds were identified as 7-aminobenz[a]anthracene (7-NH(2)BA) and benz[a]anthracene 7,12-dione (dione). Identification of 7-NH(2)BA as a metabolite of 7-NO(2)BA indicates that the anaerobic intestinal bacteria are capable of reducing 7-NO(2)BA to potentially bioactive intermediates. The reductive capacities of the mixed intestinal microilora were generally greater than those of pure cultures. Thus, metabolism of 7-NO(2)BA in the intestinal tract may be underestimated if pure cultures are used as the sole method for evaluating the potential hazard.

By attaching the photoaffinity ligand to the 17 beta-position of the steroid D-ring, the cytotoxic properties of the drug were maintained. In cytoskeletal protein preparations from human prostate carcinoma cells (DU 145) or a clonally selected, estramustine-resistant cell line (E4), the major microtubule-associated protein (MAP) present was MAP4. In both cytoskeletal fractions and reconstituted microtubules, 17-O-[[2-[3-(4-azido-3-[I-125]iodophenyl)propionamido]ethyl]carbamyl]estradiol-3-N-bis(2-chloroethyl)carbamate bound to both MAP4 and tubulin. From competition assays, the apparent binding constant for MAP4 from DU 145 cells was 15 mu M. Similar calculations for tubulin gave values of 13 mu M (bovine brain), 19 mu M (DU 145 wild-type cells), and 25 mu M (E4 cells). The identification of these cytoskeletal proteins as specific drug targets provides a direct explanation for the antimicrotubule and antimitotic effects of estramustine.

Presumptive hprt(-) mutants were isolated by clonal growth in the presence of 6-thioguanine. DNA from 6-thioguanine-resistant colonies was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction using intronic primers flanking hprt exon 8. The identification of mutant sequences and the separation of mutant DNA from contaminating wild-type DNA was accomplished by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Of 118 clones analyzed, 19 contained mutations and DNA sequence analysis identified eight unique sequence alterations. We also used single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis to screen for mutations in the same fragment of the hprt gene. This analysis was less successful than denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis in detecting the eight unique mutations. The procedures described here may represent a useful approach for studying the mechanisms of in vivo mutation.

Rats in this study were exposed to MAM on 4 consecutive postnatal days (PND), beginning at one of six ages, from birth through weaning (PND 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, or 21). MAM was administered subcutaneously in doses of 3, 4, or 5 mg/kg twice per day. Rats were sacrificed at PNDs 28 or 84. The most sensitive age for MAM-induced stunting was determined to be PNDs 1-4. When 5 mg/kg MAM was administered twice daily on PNDs 1-4, body weight was reduced by 24% at age 28 days. Additionally, when compared to control rats, brains of the 28-day-old rats were stunted as follows: whole brain (11%), cerebellum (35%), hippocampus (11%), and olfactory bulb (27%). The effects of PND 1-4 MAM exposure were still evident at 84 days of age when cerebellum and olfactory bulbs from treated rats weighed 30% less than those same regions in control rats. These findings indicate that neonatal exposure to MAM results in permanent stunting in select regions of developing rat brain. This stunting, along with other known MAM effects, can be tailored by exposure age and dose to augment the use of MAM as a positive control for investigation of compounds with neurotoxic potential.

These advances have permitted the documentation of patterns of clinical and other features associated with inflammatory muscle disease. In addition to the more traditional clinicopathologic classifications of these entities, there is increasing, interest in using newer techniques, including those of serology and molecular genetics, to divide these syndromes into more homogeneous and understandable groups. Also, the number of investigations attempting to associate environmental agents with myositis is increasing. Although our understanding of these disorders is far from complete and is still evolving, it is becoming increasingly clear that the inflammatory myopathies are composed of many separate and distinct disorders with widely divergent clinical signs, symptoms, laboratory abnormalities, and prognoses.

The prM-E and E-NS1 junctions contain hydrophobic domains with both transmembrane and signal function. These domains reside at the C-termini of prM and E, respectively, after cleavage. We studied the functions of the 37-amino-acid C-terminus of the dengue virus type 4 (DEN4) prM (amino acids 243-279 of the DEN4 polyprotein) in the processing of prM and E. Hydrophobicity in this domain is interrupted by a conserved Arg residue (Arg-264) within a short amphipathic segment. Hydrophobic amino acids upstream from Arg-264 (aa 243-263) were presumed to constitute the membrane anchor for prM (the ''tm'' segment). Previous results had suggested that sequences downstream from Arg-264 (aa 265-279) constitute the E signal peptide. RNA transcripts prepared from wild-type (wt) and deletion-mutant DEN4 cDNAs encoding the prM signal peptide, prM, E, and the N-terminus of the nonstructural glycoprotein, NS1, were translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysate in the presence of microsomes. Processing of wt prM and E in vitro appeared to mimic processing occurring during flavivirus infection. Analysis of mutants confirmed the localization of the E signal peptide within residues 265 to 279. However, deletions within either the E signal peptide or the tm segment resulted in a defect in both membrane insertion of prM and cleavage of the prM-E junction. Membrane anchoring of prM appeared to be a two-step process requiring function of both the tm segment and the E signal peptide, and fully efficient prM-E cleavage was also dependent upon the integrity of both hydrophobic domains. We propose a model for the processing of the flavivirus structural glycoproteins based on these results. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

The pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and excretion of the nitrofuran drug furazolidone have been examined in the channel catfish. [C-14]Furazolidone was administered by intravascular or oral routes in a single dosage of 1 mg/kg body weight. 2. A two-compartment pharmacokinetic model best described parent furazolidone concentrations in the plasma after intravascular dosing. Elimination of parent compound was extremely rapid, with a terminal half-life of 0.27 h and total body clearance of 1901 ml/h/kg. 3. After oral dosing, furazolidone concentrations in the plasma were highest at 1 h and were below the limit of determination (< 20 ng/ml) at 5 h. The oral bioavailability of parent furazolidone administered in solution was 58%, compared with 28% in a feed mixture. 4. Concentrations of furazolidone and its metabolites were highest in the excretory tissues and lowest in the muscle after oral dosing. Parent furazolidone comprised 10% of the total C-14 in the muscle at 8 h and was not detectable (<1 ng/g) at 24 h; total C-14 concentrations declined from 274 to 59 ng furazolidone eguiv./g between 8 and 168 h. Non-extractable (bound) residues comprised 18% of total C-14 in muscle at 8 h and 33% at 168 h. 5. Renal excretion was the primary route of elimination of C-14 residues and accounted for nearly 55% of the oral dose.

AR contains an EGF-like domain (residues 44-84) and a Lys/Arg-rich NH2-terminal extension (residues 1-43). Synthetic peptides corresponding to residues 8-26, 26-44, and 68-84 of AR were tested for their ability to compete for the binding of AR to immobilized heparin. AR(8-26) and AR(68-84) had no significant effect on the binding of AR to heparin, whereas AR(26-44) bound to heparin and blocked the binding of AR to heparin. Both soluble heparin and heparan sulfate inhibited AR-induced mitogenesis in MCF-10A human mammary epithelial cells with an IC50 of 5 and 2 mu g/ml, respectively, whereas soluble chondroitin sulfate had only a slight inhibitory effect. When MCF-10A cells were grown in the presence of chlorate, an inhibitor of sulfation, or exposed to the glycosaminoglycan-degrading enzymes heparitinase or heparinase, the ability of AR to evoke mitogenesis in these cells was lost. Chlorate, heparitinase, or heparinase treatment inhibited AR-induced autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the EGF receptor. None of these treatments had any significant effect on EGF-triggered mitogenic signaling by the EGF receptor. These results indicate that extracellular heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan is essential to AR-induced mitogenic signaling by the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase.

Cellubrevin is a homologue of synaptobrevin that is found in most cell types and is also a substrate for tetanus toxin. The lack of receptors for tetanus toxin on most cell types has made studies of tetanus toxin action in non-neuronal cells difficult. To characterize tetanus toxin effects in non-neuronal cells, a fusion protein consisting of the 254 amino-terminal amino acids of lethal factor (LF) of anthrax toxin and tetanus toxin light chain (LC) was prepared. This protein (LF-LC) inhibited evoked glycine release from primary spinal cord neurons at concentrations between 1.0 and 100 ng/ml. LF-LC was cytotoxic to RAW 264.7, ANA-1 cells (mouse macrophage cell lines), and Chinese hamster ovary cells in a dose-dependent manner. These effects required the presence of protective antigen, the receptor binding component of anthrax toxin. In contrast, LF-LC was not cytotoxic to RBL-2H3, Vero, or mouse hybridoma cell lines. Mutagenesis of conserved amino acids (His(237) and Glu(234)) in the zinc-binding motif of LC resulted in fusion proteins having no biological activity. LF LC did not inhibit regulated secretion of serotonin in RBL-2H3 cells or constitutive secretion in any non-neuronal cell lines as measured in several different assays. We suggest that the cytotoxic effects of LF-LC result from inhibition of a specific intracellular membrane fusion event mediated by cellubrevin.

CTLs and a mAb, Ye-2, which recognize the complex with specificities both for the heavy chain and for the peptide, are available. The beta(2)-m is in noncovalent association with the heavy chain at multiple points and is exchangeable with free beta(2)-m outside of the complex. The purpose of our experiments was to test whether mutant beta(2)-m capable of modulating HLA-B27 activity could be created. Eighteen recombinant mutants of the human beta(2)-m were experimentally generated. In 14 of these, mutations were at or near residues that are either contact residues or interface residues with the heavy chain. Relative to the parent beta(2)-m, two-thirds of the mutants showed reduced ability to exchange into HLA-B27 complexes. However, at least four of them induced more than 80% decrease in Ye-2 Ab reactivity. Two mutants were able to induce a minor decrease in susceptibility to lysis by four CTL clones. One of the CTL clones was autoreactive. Two of the CTL clones were specific for HLA-B27 cells experimentally infected with arthritis-causing Yersinia enterocolitica. These results indicate that certain beta(2)-m residues play an indirect role in peptide presentation, although they are not directly associated with the peptide residues.

Kaempferol induced significant (P < 0.05) concentration-dependent nuclear DNA degradation concurrent with lipid peroxidation; these effects were enhanced by iron(IIl) or copper(II). Catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), mannitol, and sodium azide did not show any inhibitory effect on the kaempferol-induced nuclear DNA damage in the presence of iron(III) or copper(II). On the other hand, all stimulated the kaempferol-induced DNA damage in the presence of iron(III); in the presence of copper(II) only SOD and mannitol showed statistically significant stimulatory effects. The kaempferol induced lipid peroxidation was significantly stimulated by catalase and sodium azide in the presence of iron(III). These results demonstrate the pro-oxidant properties of polyphenolic flavonoids, which are generally considered as antioxidants and anticarcinogens, suggesting their possible dual role in mutagenesis and carcinogenesis.

Here we show that forskolin is a remarkably specific inhibitor of energized D-galactose transport by the GalP sugar-H+ symport protein of Escherichia coli. Surprisingly, it does not inhibit transport of L-arabinose or D-xylose by the related E. coli AraE and XylE transporters, even though the amino acid sequences of their proteins are 30-64% identical to GalP and to the mammalian GLUT family. However, unlike GLUT1, photoactivation of the [H-3]forskolin-GalP complex fails to incorporate radioactivity covalently into the protein, in contrast to the effective incorporation of radioactivity from [H-3]cytochalasin B into both proteins, However, 3-[I-125]iodo-4-azidophenethylamido-7-O- succinyldesacetylforskolin ([I-125]APS-forskolin), which labels GLUT1, is a potent labeling reagent for GalP and, to a lesser extent, for AraE. The appropriate sugar substrates of each transporter protect it against the [I-125]APS-forskolin. Equilibrium binding studies using membranes from an E. coli strain that overexpresses GalP reveal a single set of high affinity binding sites for [H-3]forskolin with a K-d of 1.3-1.4 mu M, probably forming a 1:1 complex, compared with a value of 7.5 mu M for GLUT1. Sugar substrates of GalP and cytochalasin B displace forskolin from the protein. The nonhomologous sugar-H+ symporters for L-rhamnose (RhaT), L-fucose (FucP) and lactose (LacY) in E. coli are insensitive to forskolin. Forskolin and [I-125]APS-forskolin, therefore, constitute novel probes for exploring the structure-activity relationship of the bacterial GalP protein. GalP will provide an excellent model for the human glucose transporters and for elucidating the molecular basis of subtle differences in substrate and inhibitor recognition by individual members of this widespread family of transport proteins.

Methods: In June and July 1992, a random sample of 600 directors of home health care agencies in the United States were sent questionnaires concerning written blood-borne infection control policies and procedures of home health care agencies. Agency characteristics were also identified. Results: A 46% response rate (n = 278) was obtained. Of the 226 agencies that reported needlestick injury rates, 102 agencies reported no needlestick injuries to home health care agency employees in the ''last year'' and 124 agencies reported from one to 134 needlestick injuries, for a cumulative total of 475. Statistical analyses revealed that agencies with ''safer'' sharps containers, ''safer'' hypodermics, or ''safer'' access to intravenous administration lines did not have statistically significantly rates of lower needlestick injury than agencies without these ''safer'' products. Conclusions: This study should be considered exploratory; causal relationships cannot be established. Although written blood-borne infection control policies and procedures do not appear to provide protection to home health care workers from the risk of needlestick injury, limitations in the data exist. Consequently, results should be viewed with caution and additional research is needed.

Method: During a routine capture and medical examination, 26 adolescent male rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) were selected as subjects from a free-ranging population of 4,500 rhesus monkeys inhabiting a 475-acre sea island. Physiological data were obtained front 22-23 of the subjects. Blood and CSF samples were obtained, and each subject was fitted with a radio transmitter collar for rapid location. The subjects were released into their social groups, and quantitative behavioral observations were made over a 3-month period. Results: CSF 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) concentrations were inversely correlated with ''escalated'' aggression, i.e., a measure of more intense or severe aggression as defined by the ratio of chases and Physical assaults to all aggressive acts. CSF 5-HIAA concentrations were significantly lower in those subjects who showed evidence of physical wounding than in subjects with no wounds. Low CSF 5-HIAA concentrations were also correlated with greater risk-taking as determined by an analysis of leaping behaviors in the forest canopy. The ratio of long leaps (leaps that traversed the longest distances at dangerous heights) to all leaps was negatively correlated with CSF 5-HIAA concentrations. Conclusions: Adolescent male rhesus macaques with low CSF 5-HIAA concentrations are at risk for 1) exhibiting more violent forms of aggressive behavior and 2) loss of impulse control as evidenced by greater risk tracking during movement through the forest canopy.

Routine and periodic mammography audit studies, the systematic evaluation of clinical follow-up procedures and outcomes subsequent to screening mammography reports of abnormal findings, have been advocated as an important component of quality assurance in screening mammography. This study assessed the degree to which mammography facilities in community practice maintain reporting and record-keeping systems and ascertain sufficient clinical follow-up data to facilitate the practice of mammography audit studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS. As part of a national survey of 1057 mammography facilities, data were collected from a stratified subsample of 50 facilities on facility information systems, and facility records were systematically abstracted to determine the degree of completeness of clinical follow-up data to screening mammography examinations with abnormal findings. Facilities were assisted in obtaining additional information through active data follow-up, and this information also was entered into the study's database. RESULTS. The nature of mammography information systems and the degree of data completeness varied widely. Computerized systems were used at relatively few facilities (12%). The organization of records and data varied widely and was generally not designed to accommodate routine systematic analysis. Screening examinations could be identified without reading the actual text of the mammography report at 94% of the facilities, but reports had to be read at the majority of facilities to identify examinations with abnormal findings (70%). Before active data follow-up, records were incomplete in about 40% of all cases. After active data follow-up, this decreased to 16%. Forty-two facilities achieved an average completeness of more than 90%, whereas the remaining eight lagged significantly behind this level. CONCLUSION, At the time of this study (late 1992 to early 1993), only about 20% of the facilities surveyed had informational systems and sufficient ascertainment of data to support the practice of mammography audit studies. After active data follow up, more than 80% of the facilities were willing and able to achieve a high degree of data completeness with the assistance of our data abstracters. The results of this study suggest that, with the advent of standardized mammography data collection and analysis systems and increased emphasis on clinical outcomes assessment as a standard of care, the practice of performing mammography audits, although not currently widespread, is feasible for most facilities.

After a deposition period of 1 min, 0.2 ng ml(-1) of selenium could be detected. The method was applied to the analysis of food supplements. Total selenium was determined after digestion of the sample with HNO3-HClO4 and reduction to the electroactive Se-IV by heating with HCl. Inorganic selenium (i.e., selenite and selenate) was similarly determined after extraction with dilute sodium hydroxide solution and clean-up on activated carbon. Representative over-the-counter preparations have been analysed. RP HOLAK, W (reprint author), US FDA,850 3RD AVE,BROOKLYN,NY 11232, USA.

In vitro modeling can be used to understand the distribution of anesthetic agents within the subarachnoid space. We describe an in vitro modeling technique that uses digital video image processing and its application to catheter injection of local anesthetic. Methods: A clear plastic model of the subarachnoid space, including a simulated spinal cord and cauda equina, was filled with lactated Ringer's solution. Phthalocyanine blue dye of known concentration was injected into the model through small-bore (28-G) and large-bore (18-G) catheters. Injections were performed at a variety of controlled rates and sacral catheter positions, and the propagation of dye throughout the model was recorded on videotape, digitized by computer, and converted to a two-dimensional image of dye concentration. A subset of data was compared with results obtained from spectrophotometric analysis. Results: There was a strong correlation (r = 0.98) between data obtained with analysis by digital video image processing and those obtained spectrophotometrically. Catheter size, catheter angle, and injection rate significantly influenced the distribution and peak concentration of simulated anesthetic. No major differences in distribution or peak concentration were observed with the two types of 28-G catheters. Conclusions: The digital video image processing technique can be used to quantify anesthetic distribution rapidly within a model of the subarachnoid space without disturbing the distribution. The current results demonstrate a strong dependence of anesthetic distribution on catheter angle, catheter size, and injection rate. Comparisons between 28-G catheters suggest that the difference in reported incidence of cauda equina syndrome associated with different 28-G catheters cannot be explained on the basis of differences in anesthetic distribution.

The extent to which GM-CSF can increase the actual delivered dose intensity of combination chemotherapy over multiple cycles of therapy to patients with advanced breast cancer has not been well defined. We conducted a phase I/II study of dose-intensive FLAC chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide) in combination with GM-CSF in patients with locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer to study the acute and cumulative toxicities, anti-tumor activity and dose-intensity achievable with this regimen. Methods: Eighty-one patients with newly diagnosed stages IIB, III and IV breast cancer who were previously untreated with chemotherapy and who had measurable disease received multiple cycles of FLAC chemotherapy plus E. coli-derived GM-CSF administered every three weeks. Results: FLAC plus GM-CSF as associated with significant cumulative hematologic toxicity. Ninety-eight percent of patients developed grade 4 neutropenia; 29% of all cycles administered required hospitalization for fever and neutropenia; 41% and 22% of cycles required red blood cell and platelet transfusions, respectively. Other significant toxicities with E. coli-derived GM-CSF included mild to moderate first dose effects (hypotension, dyspnea, abdominal cramping) in 30% of patients; late occurring anaphylactoid reactions in 11% of patients; and vascular thromboses. The average delivered dose intensities over all cycles were cyclophosphamide, 210 mg/m2/week; doxorubicin, 14.8 mg/m2/week and 5-fluorouracil, 342 mg/m2/week. The overall clinical response rates were 100% and 83% for LABC and metastatic patients, respectively. There were 23% (6/26) pathologic CR's in the LABC patients given neoadjuvant FLAC and 22% (12/54) clinical CR's in the stage IV patients. The median survival of the LABC patients has not been reached (> 26 months) and is 30 months for the stage IV patients. Conclusions: The administration of multiple cycles of FLAC plus E. coli-derived GM-CSF therapy is associated with cumulative, dose-limiting myelosuppression, especially thrombocytopenia, as well as significant clinical toxicity. A modest increase in FLAC dose intensity over the starting doses was achievable with the addition of GM-CSF. FLAC chemotherapy has substantial antitumor activity in the treatment of advanced breast cancer. The potential usefulness of FLAC plus GM-CSF must be balanced by its considerable cost and alteration in patients' quality of life due to toxicity. Combination hematopoietic growth factor strategies may be able to reduce the toxicity of FLAC and to allow further increase dose intensity. C1 NCI, BIOSTAT SECT, BETHESDA, MD 20892 USA.

The total assay time of the Ab-DEFT was less than 1 h. The beef was homogenized, treated for 15 min with trypsin and Triton X-100, and passed through a 5-mu m-pore-size prefilter and then through a 0.2-mu m-pore-size black polycarbonate filter. The final filter was stained directly with fluorescein-labeled anti-O157 polyclonal antibody, rinsed, and examined by epifluorescence microscopy: The sensitivity of the Ab-DEFT was compared with that of a standard enrichment culture technique. Both methods reliably determined the presence of the pathogen in beef at 16 CFU/g. The Ab-DEFT was also useful for quantifying the pathogen and monitoring its growth in beef.

The identity of the amplified 396-bp fragment was confirmed by digesting it with PvuI restriction endonuclease, which produced the predicted 246- and 150-bp fragments. Specific primers amplified ETA-positive P. aeruginosa DNA, whereas other species of Pseudomonas and GC-rich bacteria did not yield any 396-bp fragment. The specificity and sensitivity of the assay were 100 and 96%, respectively, which confirms the assay's reliability for diagnostic and epidemiological studies. The assay can detect as few as 5 to 10 cells in a 10-ml water sample or 0.1 pg of P. aeruginosa DNA per reaction mixture (5 mu l) by ethidium bromide staining of an agarose gel. Ten-times-lower concentrations were detected by hybridization with a digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probe internal to the PCR product. With this PCR method, ETA-positive P. aeruginosa was detected in animal cage water samples at a level of 40 cells per ml. This method is rapid and less cumbersome than other diagnostic methods for the identification of P. aeruginosa strains. The method described can be used to detect a low level of P. aeruginosa from environmental and clinical samples without the use of selective media or additional biochemical tests.

Myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSA) define relatively homogenous clinical and immunogenetic patient groups in adults with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). This study explores the usefulness of MSA in defining groups of children with myositis. Methods. Sera from 77 children with myositis and other connective tissue diseases were tested for MSA by immunoprecipitation and immunodiffusion. Clinical data were collected and analyzed. Results. The MSA anti-PL-12 (alanyl-transfer RNA synthetase), anti-Jo-1 (histidyl-tRNA synthetase), anti-signal recognition particle, and anti-Mi-2 were each identified in the sera of 12 children with IIM. In these patients, the clinical manifestations, disease courses, and responses to therapy closely resembled those in adults with the same autoantibodies. Conclusion. These observations suggest that the clinical syndromes defined by particular MSA are similar in children and adults with IIM. By defining similar clinical syndromes in children who have MSA, this study provides a basis for future studies of MSA in the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies of childhood, which may be useful in predicting the clinical courses of a subset of these patients and improving their therapy.

We selected for mitotically active, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase-deficient (HPRT-)T cells, by culture in a selective medium containing 6-thioguanine. When HPRT- cell lines were derived 6 days after pulse cyclophosphamide (CYC) treatment, they were predominantly CD8+ and T cell receptor (TCR) gamma/delta+, producing interferon-gamma (IFN gamma). Cell lines derived 21 days after CYC treatment were CD4+, TCR alpha/beta+ and produced both IFN gamma and interleukin-4. These results support a possible role for gamma/delta+ T cells in subacute cutaneous lupus and suggest a mechanism for the therapeutic effect of CYC. C1 NIAMSD,BETHESDA,MD. US FDA,ROCKVILLE,MD.

Forty isolates were obtained from turkeys; 13 (33%) were type 5, 15 (38%) were type 8, and 12 (29%) were untypable. Five type 5 isolates were obtained from poultry of uncertain species. Two untypable turkey isolates were studied further. Rabbit serum obtained after immunization with formalin-killed staphylococci was type-specific as assessed by a tube agglutination test and promoted opsonophagocytosis of the isolate that had been used for immunization. Chromatography of carboxy-reduced capsular polysaccharide from one of the isolates suggested that mannoseaminouronic acid was present in the unreduced polysaccharide. The spectrum obtained by C-13-nuclear magnetic resonance suggested the presence of N-acetyl sugars such as mannoseaminouronic acid and 6-deoxy sugars such as N-acetyl fucosamine. The structure of the polysaccharide differed from that of the type 5 and type 8 capsular polysaccharides. Thus, poultry isolates can be classified into at least four serotypes on the basis of their capsular polysaccharides. This observation provides a new focus for investigation into the epidemiology and virulence determinants of this important pathogen in chickens and turkeys.

The CHO-ABS cell line (hemizygous at the aprt locus) and CHO-UV5 (DNA repair-deficient mutant of AA8) were cultured in Ham's F-12 medium or in custom-prepared Ham's F-12 medium lacking foIic acid, thymidine, and hypoxanthine. Cells cultured acutely in the folate deficient medium exhibited initial growth arrest, followed by massive cell death and DNA fragmentation into nucleosomal multimers characteristic of apoptosis. Although prolonged culture in the folate deficient medium was cytostatic and lethal to the majority cells, minor subpopulations in both cell lines failed to initiate cell death, exhibited phenotypic abnormalities, and adapted a selective growth advantage under marginal folate conditions. These ''resistant'' clones exhibited major alterations in deoxynucleotide pools associated with an increase in mutant frequency at the aprt locus as detected by resistance to cytotoxicity in 8-azaadenosine. The mutation frequency in the DNA repair-deficient CHO-UV5 cells was similar to 100-fold greater than that in the parental AA8 clones, underscoring the importance of DNA repair under conditions of folate deficiency and nucleotide pool imbalance. The enhanced mutation frequency in the DNA repair-competent folate-deficient CHO-BAS cells suggests that DNA repair activity is less effective under folate-deficient conditions. These results add to the accumulating clinical and experimental evidence relating chronic folate deficiency to genomic instability and carcinogenesis.

Typhoid fever was a significant public health problem among consumers of raw molluscan shellfish earlier in this century. The development of more effective sewage treatment procedures and die institution of a national program following these outbreaks led to a series of measures which eventually eliminated shellfish-associated typhoid fever. Present-day problems associated with this food source still involve some wastewaterborne bacterial illnesses. However, the principal public health concerns are with wastewater-derived viral pathogens and with bacterial agents of an environmental origin. The nature, occurrence, and magnitude of these public health problems are described. RP RIPPEY, SR (reprint author), US PHS,US FDA,NE SEAFOOD LAB,DAVISVILLE,RI 02852, USA.

We have es?tablished a method for quantitation of 4-aminobiphenyl (4-ABP)-DNA adducts by alkaline hydrolysis and gas chromatography with negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry (GC-NICI-MS). Aliquots of DNA (typically 100 mu g/ml) were spiked with an internal standard, d(g)-4-ABP, and were hydrolyzed in 0.05 N NaOH at 130 degrees C overnight. The liberated 4-ABP was extracted with hexane and derivatized using pentafluoropropionic anhydride in trimethylamine for 30 min at room temperature prior to GC-NICI-MS. With in vitro [H-3]N-hydroxy-4-ABP modified DNA standards, we observed 59 +/- 7% (n = 9) recovery of the 4-ABP and a linear correlation between hydrolyzed 4-ABP and the adduct levels ranging from about 1 in 10(8) to 1 in 10(4) nucleotides (r = 0.999, n = 9). The method was further validated by comparison of the results with that obtained by the P-32-postlabeling method. There was excellent agreement (r = 0.994, p<0.001) between the two methods for quantitation of the adduct in eight samples of Salmonella typhimurium DNA treated with 4-ABP and rat liver S9, although the P-32-postlabeling method gave slightly higher values. The DNA adducts in 11 human lung and 8 urinary bladder mucosa specimens were then determined by our GC-NICI-MS method. The adduct levels were found to be <0.32 to 49.5 adducts per 10(8) nucleotides in the lungs and <0.32 to 3.94 adducts per 10(8) nucleotides in the bladder samples. Our results indicate that the alkaline hydrolysis/GC-NICI-MS method is sensitive, structure-selective, and accurate, and will be useful for molecular dosimetry of human exposure to this carcinogen.

Continuous oral administration of these compounds for 4 weeks produced an increase in DNA adduct formation during the first 2 weeks, followed by a plateau, which presumably occurred because the rate of adduct removal offset the rate of adduct formation. The quantity of DNA adducts present at equilibrium correlated directly with the carcinogen concentration; therefore, when exposure was continued for 4 weeks, DNA adducts that reflected the plateau level at each dose could be expressed as a function of dose, liver and bladder DNA adduct profiles thus obtained during administration of multiple doses of 2-AAF (to female mice) and 4-ABP (to male and female mice) were compared to profiles for tumor incidences obtained during lifetime exposures to the same doses. These experiments demonstrated similar profiles for DNA adduct formation and tumorigenesis in liver. In the bladder, DNA adducts were linear, but tumors only appeared at the higher doses in conjunction with cell proliferation. In addition to these aromatic amines, similar data are available for aflatoxin B-1, diethylnitrosamine, and (methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (also known as nicotine-derived nitrosoketone). Of the nine different biological situations (carcinogen/species/sex/organ) for which data are available, correlations between steady-state DNA adduct levels and tumorigenic response at the different doses were linear in five of the nine biological models. When the relationship between DNA adduct formation and tumor incidence was not linear, the profiles observed were considered to be the result of tissue-specific phenomena such as metabolic activation, cell proliferation, or cytotoxicity.

In our studies, we have emphasized 1-, 2-, 3-, and 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrenes (nitro-B[a]Ps) and related compounds, all of which are derived from the potent carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene. While 1-, 2-, and 3-nitro-B[a]P are potent mutagens in Salmonella, 6-nitro-B[a]P is a weak mutagen. In vitro metabolism of 1- and 3-nitro-B[a]P has been found to generate multiple pathways for mutagenic activation. The formation of the corresponding trans-7,8-dihydrodiols and 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrotetrols suggests that 1- and 3-nitro-B[a]P tran-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxides are ultimate metabolites of the parent nitro-B[a]Ps. We have isolated a DNA adduct from the reaction between 3-nitro-B[a]P tran-7,8-diol-anti-9,10-epoxide and calf thymus DNA, and identified it as 10-(deoxyguanosin-N-2-yl)-7.8.9-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-3-nitro-B[a]P. The same adduct was identified from in vitro metabolism of [H-3]3-nitro-B[a]P by rat liver microsomes in the presence of calf thymus DNA was also isolatd. This adduct was identified as 6-(deoxyguanosin-N-2-yl)-3-amino-B[a]P. These data indicate that a mammalian nitroreductase can metabolize 3-nitro-B[a]P to an activated derivative that reacts with DNA to give a novel adduct distant from the site of nitrenium ion formation. Similar DNA adducts were obtained from ring-oxidation and nitroreduction of 1-nitro-B[a]P. Metabolism of 6-nitro-B[a]P resulted in a different pattern, and DNA adducts have not been detected from chemical or biologic activation. Based on these results, together with the other findings, we have proposed that orientation of the nitro functional group is a critical structural feature that can affect metabolism, DNA binding, mutagenicity, and tumorigenicity of nitro-PAHs. Additional data from the derivatives of the nitro-B[a]ps support this hypothesis. RP FU, PP (reprint author), NATL CTR TOXICOL RES,DIV BIOCHEM TOXICOL,HFT-110,,JEFFERSON,AR 72079, USA.

In this study, rats were treated with tumorigenic doses of 1,6-dinitropyrene to establish dose-response relationships for the formation of DNA adducts in target (lung) and nontarget (liver) tissues and for the induction of 6-thioguanine-resistant mutations in spleen T-lymphocytes. One week after treatment with 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, or 150 mu g of 1,6-dinitropyrene, dose-responsive DNA binding was measured in lung and liver with binding in the lung being 10-fold higher than in the liver. In the lung, a 2-fold increase in dose resulted in a 1.8-fold increase in DNA binding at treatments up to 30 mu g of 1,6-dinitropyrene, while in the liver, a 2 fold increase in 1,6-dinitropyrene produced a 2-fold increase in DNA binding at doses up to the 10 mu g treatment. Higher doses of 1,6-dinitropyrene resulted in proportionally smaller increases in adduct formation in the two tissues. When measured 21 weeks after treatment, mutations in T-lymphocytes increased with doses up to 100 mu g of 1,6-dinitropyrene, but the response was nonlinear throughout the dose range. These findings indicate that concentrations of 1,6-dinitropyrene that produce a dose-dependent induction of lung tumors also result in a dose-dependent formation of DNA adducts and induction of lymphocyte mutations but that the dose-response curves for DNA binding and mutations are different.

Nine healthy adult male rhesus monkeys were divided into three groups and given the following doses of ddC in a gelatin vehicle: group A, 0.06, 6.0, 3.0, and 1.5 mg/kg; group B, 0.6 mg/kg; group C, 0 mg/kg. Blood samples were collected for hematologic analysis and flow cytometric analyses of lymphocyte subpopulations. Chronic ddC exposure did not cause significant changes in the number of red blood cells, monocytes, or reticulocytes. The number of white blood cells and neutrophils increased and these changes were observed only in group A animals at the 1.5 mg/kg dose. The most significant alterations observed were decreases in the number of T helper cells (CD4) and B cells (CD20). CD4(+) and CD20(+) lymphocytes exhibited dose-related shifts that were reversible over time and after drug withdrawal. The results indicate that ddC has few hematologic effects but it does have profound but transient effects on the number of cells in lymphocyte subpopulations in normal primates.

The levels of expression of mRNA for a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-inducible (CYP1A2) and an ethanol-inducible (CYP2E1) form of P-450 were reduced by 70% to 80% 8 to 12 hr after vaccination or Bordetella pertussis endotoxin administration. These effects are preceded by marked increases (threefold to sixfold) in mRNA expression for interleukin-6, interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor in both strains of mice, with maximal increases 1 to 2 hr after injection. This is the first demonstration that levels of cytokine mRNA are altered in the liver in response to DTP vaccine adminis tration. The finding of increased cytokine mRNA in the livers of mice injected with vaccine supports a role for cytokines as mediators of the decreased levels of cytochrome P-450. In addition, inducible nitric oxide synthase mRNA expression is also increased after vaccine administration, with a peak at 4 hr. The temporal relationship of the increased cytokine mRNA expression, increased nitric oxide synthase and decreased expression of P-450 mRNAs suggests a mechanism by which cytokines mediate the induction of nitric oxide synthase, which increases nitric oxide and decreases the activities of some cytochromes P-450.

In 1988, an epidemic caused by N. meningitidis B:4:P1.15 was recognized in the greater Sao Paulo area of Brazil. The Sao Paulo state government decided to vaccinate children from 3 to 83 months of age with a vaccine consisting of serotype 4 outer membrane protein acid group C meningococcal polysaccharide that was produced in Cuba. About 2.7 million children were vaccinated during two immunization campaigns conducted in 1989 and 1990. Because of this, a case control study was designed to determine vaccine efficacy against group B meningococcal disease. The purpose of our study was to compare the antibody response with the protection from disease estimated from the case-control study. We measured the immune responses of vaccinees by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunoblot, and bactericidal assay. The development of bactericidal antibodies was age dependent and in good agreement with the results of the case-control study. Only 40% of vaccinees showed fourfold or greater increases in bactericidal antibody titers after vaccination. A poor correlation between antibody levels detected by ELISA and those by bactericidal assay was found. Immunoblot analysis showed that about 50% of the serum samples with bactericidal titers higher than 1:4 were reactive with class 1 outer membrane protein. We conclude that the bactericidal assay is a good, laboratory-based, functional assay for the study of vaccine immunogenicity and that an effective solution to group B meningococcal disease remains to be demonstrated.

Measles kills more than 1 million infants per year and is particularly lethal in infants <1 year old in developing countries. Recent reports have suggested that measles Vaccines of different strains and titre differ in their immunogenicity in young infants. We sought to identify strains and titres of measles Vaccines which would be effective in 6 and 9 month old infants. Methods. We conducted a randomized trial of AIK-C, Edmonston-Zagreb (EZ), Leningrad-16 and Schwarz strains of measles vaccine at different titres in 1202 6 month old and 1250 9 month old infants. Antibody levels were measured by haemagglutination inhibition assay. Seroconversion was defined as a change from seronegative to seropositive or a fourfold rise in titre above the expected level after antibody decay (assumed antibody half-life = 6 weeks). Chi-square tests were used to compare seroconversion rates and rates of adverse reactions among the groups. Comparison of geometric mean titres (GMT) was done by the Student's t-test. Results. No severe or unusual adverse reactions occurred during the 6 weeks after vaccination. All strains induced high seroconversion rates in 9 month old infants. In 6 month olds, medium- and standard-titre AIK-C induced the highest rates of seroconversion. Antibody titres at 6 weeks after vaccination were highest in recipients of Schwarz vaccine and lowest for EZ vaccine recipients. Conclusions, Standard-titre AIK-C may be more effective than other measles Vaccine strains for early measles immunization and should be evaluated further for efficacy, long-term immunogenicity, and long-term safety.

This matrix analysis of these EGF family members indicated no specific pattern of ligand or receptor expression with a specific ovarian histologic category except in the case of AR and TGF-alpha. AR was detected almost exclusively in borderline tumors, suggesting that these tumors may not arise as a pathological continuum between benign cystadenomas and invasive cystadenocarcinomas. Second, the presence of TGF-alpha immunoreactivity in the absence of coexpression of cripto or EGF appeared to be associated only with adenocarcinomas of high grade and stage.

This study examined the effects of three biocides on attached and suspended cells of toxigenic V. cholerae isolate ''J'' (ballast water isolate) recovered from ballast water; strain C6707 (Latin American epidemic strain) involved in the Latin American epidemic and strain VRL 1984 (the toxigenic strain endemic to the Gulf Coast). Chitin was the substrate used for attachment. Attached cells of isolate ''J'' were reduced by 4 logs and those of strains C6707 and VRL 1984 were reduced by 3 logs after exposure to 100 ppm Povidone-iodine for 20 min. Attached isolate ''J'' cells were reduced by 5 logs, and attached C6707 cells were reduced to <1 CFU/ml (6 log decrease) after exposure to 800 ppm chlorine after 20 min. Although numbers of VRL 1984 were reduced to <1 CFU/ml after exposure to 800 ppm chlorine for 5 min, counts rose to 10(1) CFU/ml in 20 min. Numbers of isolate ''J'' were reduced to <1 CFU/ml and those of C6707 were reduced by 6 logs after exposure to 200 ppm Roccal II (QAC) for 10 min. No VRL 1984 cells were recovered after 5 min exposure to 400 ppm and 20 min exposure to 200 ppm QAC. Suspended cells were reduced to <1 CFU/ml after exposure to 25 ppm iodine, 100 ppm chlorine or 50 ppm QAC for 2 min; however, intact nonculturable cells were detected by polymerase chain reaction in iodine-treated suspensions. Latin American and Gulf Coast strains were equally susceptible to disinfection. RP MCCARTHY, SA (reprint author), US FDA, GULF COAST RES LAB, DAUPHIN ISL, AL 36528 USA.

Fresh, peeled, sliced potatoes, untreated or dipped for 2 min in sulfite (NaHSO3) and drained, were surface-inoculated at several levels with a mixture of C. botulinum spores, either type A or B, and placed in oxygen-impermeable bags (200 g/bag) that were then vacuum-sealed and incubated at room temperature (22 degrees C). Toxicity was tested on days 0, 3, 4, 5 and 6. After incubation, the potatoes were blended and centrifuged, and the millipore-filtered supernatant fluid was injected intraperitoneally into mice. Sensory evaluation, except taste, was also performed. Potatoes inoculated with C. botulinum type A spores, but untreated with NaHSO3 became toxic in 3 days, which coincided with the sensory evaluation, ''Unfit for human consumption.'' However, despite inoculum size or residual SO2 levels, potatoes treated with NaHSO3 appeared acceptable for human consumption through day 6, even though they were toxic after 4 days of incubation. Toxicity from type B spores occurred later and in fewer test samples than type A. Again, the potatoes appeared acceptable but were toxic. Thus, although NaHSO3 markedly extended the consumer acceptability of peeled, sliced, raw potatoes at the abuse temperature, it did not inhibit outgrowth and toxin production by C. botulinum under these same conditions.

Growth characteristics at 37 degrees C, surface envelope proteins, and lipopolysaccharide profiles of resistant mutants were identical to those of LVS. Polymerase activity of the mutants was more resistant than the enzyme from LVS to the inhibitory action of rifampicin. Growth rates for mutants and LVS were similar during the first 5 h at 42 degrees C, but viability of the mutants decreased to < 0.01% at 24 h. LVS and mutants differed in their ability to grow in vitro in host macrophages: LVS increased 580-fold over 72 h; mutants increased 33-fold. After ip inoculation of the organisms into mice, increasing numbers of LVS from peritoneal cells were isolated; mutants decreased over 4 days. C1 ENTRE MED INC,ROCKVILLE,MD 20850.

The performance characteristics of several selection criteria, the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), and the Schwarz Criterion (SC), and the F test (alpha=0.05), were examined using Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, the ability of these criteria to select the correct model; to select a model allowing estimation of pharmacokinetic parameters with small bias and good precision, and to select a model allowing precise predictions of concentration was evaluated. To some extent interrelationships among these procedures is explainable. Results indicate that the F test tends to choose the simpler model more often than does either the AIC or SC, even when the more complex model is correct. Also, the F test is more sensitive to deficient sampling designs. Clearance estimates are generally very robust to the choice of the wrong model. Other pharmacokinetic parameters are more sensitive to model choice, particularly the apparent elimination rate constant. Prediction-of concentrations is generally more precise when the correct model is chosen. The tendency for the F test (alpha=0.05) to choose the simpler model must be considered relative to the objectives of the study. C1 UNIV CALIF SAN FRANCISCO,DEPT LAB MED,SAN FRANCISCO,CA 94143.

MDMA exposure at postnatal day (PND) 10 did not result in altered 5-HT or 5-HIAA levels 1 week after administration in any brain region examined. However, MDMA exposure at PND 40 and PND 70 resulted in dose-dependent reductions in 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels at 1 week in all brain regions examined. Time course studies revealed that at PND 10, MDMA acutely (less than or equal to 24 hr) reduced 5-HT levels and that these levels later recovered to control levels. MDMA also acutely reduced 5-HT levels at PND 40 and PND 70, but at these ages the 5-HT levels were persistently depressed (greater than or equal to 72 hr). Time course studies also revealed that MDMA acutely elevated dopamine levels in caudate putamen at PND 40 and PND 70, but no alterations in dopamine levels were observed at PND 10. Analysis of 5-HT reuptake site populations revealed that at PND 10 and PND 40, MDMA had little effect on reuptake site populations. At PND 70, however, MDMA reduced 5-HT reuptake site populations as early as 24 hr after administration. These experiments demonstrate not only that the biochemical effects of MDMA exposure are altered by the developmental status of the experimental animal, but also that each individual biochemical component may show differing sensitivities to alteration by MDMA at different developmental ages.

Allylic hydroxy oleates (AHOs), secondary products of lipid autoxidation, have also been found in foods. By means of high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/matrix isolation/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, we determined that currently used acid-catalyzed methylation procedures convert AHOs to CLA and other products that potentially yield high values in determination of CLA in foods. A mixture of AHOs, containing mainly (8- and 11-)hydroxy-9-octadecadecenoates, was synthesized and tested by methylation procedures with the following catalysts: BF3, HCl, NaOMe and tetramethylguanidine. Both the BF3 and the HCl procedures converted AHOs to CLA. The base-catalyzed procedures did not convert AHOs to CLA. C1 FOOD RES INST,MADISON,WI 53706.

A definite time pattern for sps synthesis was observed when their induction was examined at several time points after the rats were fed, and the level of sps expression was found to vary significantly at different times of the day. The same group of proteins was induced in ad libitum fed rats when they were subjected to food deprivation for 48 h. Stress protein 34 expression in the hypothalamus of old caloric restricted rats was found to be dependent on blood glucose levels, and was substantially reduced when insulin was added to the glucose infusion. The expression of sps 27,70 and 90, however, was little changed with glucose and/or insulin infusion. C1 US FDA,NATL CTR TOXICOL RES,JEFFERSON,AR 72079. CAIRO UNIV,FAC MED,CAIRO,EGYPT.

Caloric restriction was found to elicit sps 27, 34, 70, and 90 in the hypothalamus of both young and old rats while none was found in the hypothalamus of ad libitum (AL) fed controls. Heat stress initiated heat shock proteins (hsps/sps) 27, 70, and 90 in the hypothalamus of the young (AL) fed animals, the same proteins evoked by feeding stress. The same sps were induced in the old (AL) rats although the expression showed substantial decline with age. This reduction was less marked, however, with the old CR rats. Stress protein 34, an infrequently reported protein, was related to feeding and was not induced by heat shock. Recent reports point to the important role sps play in the cellular reaction to stress, as well as their involvement in the higher functions. The findings reported here suggest that sps are involved in the regulatory mechanisms allowing CR animals to tolerate stress related to metabolic substrate deprivation.

The responses of 18,549 mothers were used in the analysis, which consisted of both univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. The prevalence of use for each of six supplements varied from 1.89% for zinc to 33.45% for iron. The use of these supplements did not appear to be strongly intercorrelated. Young age was associated with iron use, black race was associated with iron and vitamin A supplementation, and prenatal care and Women with Infants and Children food were associated with iron and vitamin A intake. Smoking was associated with folic acid and iron use, alcohol consumption was associated with folic acid use, and low family income was associated with iron use. The findings of the study may be useful in the future for more specific epidemiologic and clinical studies on supplementation during pregnancy.

An 1137-bp fragment was amplified from 11 different strains of type F C. botulinum with primers derived from the published sequence of type F strain no. 202. This fragment was not amplified from the DNA of C. botulinum types A, B and E, or from other clostridial organisms examined. When used as a hybridization probe, the 1137-bp PCR-generated fragment generated from one of the type F strains (the proteolytic strain type F Langeland) hybridized to the PCR products from all other type F toxin-producing strains tested. Portions of fragments amplified from the type F Langeland strain were sequenced. The sequence of this strain was found to exhibit approximately 3% variation from the published sequence of the non-proteolytic type F strain no. 202. Primers designed to pair with the regions of maximum sequence variation between strain 202 and the Langeland strain gave amplification products only with DNA from type F strains that exhibited the same proteolytic properties as the strain from which the primer sequences were derived. These findings underscore the need to consider Variations in sequence when designing oligonucleotide probes and PCR primers in order to avoid false negative results.

Exposure of AHH-1 cells to either EMS or ENU resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in mutant frequency at the HPRT locus. When AHH-1 cells were exposed to B(a)P, the increase in mutant frequency at the HPRT locus was marginally significant linearly and significant quadratically. The P-32-postlabeling assay revealed the formation of DNA adducts derived from (+/-)anti-benzo[a]pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide which may account for the increase in 6-TG(r) clones. Although DNA adducts could be detected by the P-32-postlabeling assay in both 6-NC- and 6-AC-treated AHH-1 cells, exposure to 6-AC or 6-NC did not result in a concentration-dependent increase in mutant frequency at the HPRT locus. Our results are consistent with the results of previous studies which indicate that EMS and ENU are effective inducers of 6-TG(r) clones as is B(a)P when activated to an electrophile. In 6-NC- and 6-AC-exposed cells, low levels of N-hydroxy-6-aminochrysene-derived adducts were detected in only 6-NC-exposed cells. No 6-aminochrysene-1,2-dihydrodiol-derived adducts were detected following 6-NC or 6-AC exposure. Minimal metabolic activation of 6-NC or 6-AC by AHH-1 cells may account for the lack of a positive mutagenic response for either 6-AC or 6-NC.

Fundamental research findings concerning the metabolism of 2-acetylaminofluorene to electrophilic derivatives, the interaction of these derivatives with DNA, and the carcinogenic and mutagenic responses that are associated with the resulting DNA damage have formed the foundation upon which much of genetic toxicity testing is based. The parent compounds and their proximate and ultimate mutagenic and carcinogenic derivatives have been evaluated in a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic assays for mutagenesis and DNA damage. The reactive derivatives are active in virtually all systems, while 2-acetylaminofluorene and 2-aminofluorene are active in most systems that provide adequate metabolic activation. Knowledge of the structures of the DNA adducts formed by 2-acetylaminofluorene and 2-aminofluorene, the effects of the adducts on DNA conformation and synthesis, adduct distribution in tissues, cells and DNA, and adduct repair have been used to develop hypotheses to understand the genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of these compounds. Molecular analysis of mutations produced in cell-free, bacterial, in vitro mammalian, and intact animal systems have recently been used to extend these hypotheses.

Prophylactic recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was administered routinely to ameliorate the anticipated dose-limiting toxicity of neutropenia. Nonhematologic toxicity was mild to moderate in most cases. Taxol was more active in patients with chemotherapy-naive stage IV disease, but activity was also observed in extensively treated patients as well. There is a strong clinical suggestion of at least partial noncross-resistance with doxorubicin. Taxol is a very promising agent for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer; its optimal application in this disease will be the subject of future trials.

The purposes of this investigation were to determine the effect of five commonly used voltage waveforms (four pulsed and one sinusoidal) on excitation of sensory and motor nerves and to characterize variables associated with reaching threshold. Subjects. Eighteen healthy subjects were stimulated during one session via surface electrodes placed over the forearm and leg. Methods. Stimulation amplitude was increased at a constant rate, and the threshold of sensory and motor excitation was determined. Measured variables included peak voltage, peak current, phase charge, and total pulse charge. Results. Three-factorial, repeated-measures analysis of variance and Newman-Keuls tests revealed that phase charge varied the least during excitation induced by the five waveforms. Total pulse charge markedly increased when burst of 10 symmetrical pulses, 25 symmetrical pulses, or amplitude-modulated waveforms were used. Monobasic and symmetrical biphasic waveforms required the least amount of total pulse charge. All measurements were higher during motor threshold than during sensory threshold, and the measurements were higher in the leg than in the forearm. Conclusion and Discussion. The authors concluded that all five studied waveforms were effective at threshold excitation of peripheral sensory and motor nerves. Of the five waveforms, the symmetrical biphasic waveform, having a low total pulse charge, may be the preferred waveform, and the 25 symmetrical pulses and amplitude-modulated waveforms may be considered the least preferred due to high total pulse charge.

The effects observed in the normal rat kidney epithelial cell line NRK-52E include dose-dependent increases in the beta-ATP signal at CsA concentrations from 2.5-25 mu g/ml. At a CsA concentration of 100 mu g/ml, there is a severe decrease in the beta-ATP signal with a concomitant increase in the inorganic phosphate (P-i) signal. Effects observed in NRK-52E cells perfused with 100 mu g/ml CsA mimic those previously observed by P-31-NMR spectroscopy using a surface coil over exposed kidneys of rats given chronic oral doses of 5 and 25 mg/kg/day CsA for periods of up to 90 days. These observations support the hypothesis that mitochondrial toxicity contributes to induction of CsA nephrotoxicity. C1 UNIV NEW MEXICO,HLTH SCI CTR,SCH MED,DEPT PHARMACOL,ALBUQUERQUE,NM 87131.

Various groups have expressed a need for best (point) estimates of cancer risk in order to improve risk/benefit decisions. Point estimates of carcinogenic potency obtained from maximum likelihood estimates of low-dose slope may be highly unstable, being sensitive both to the choice of the dose-response model and possibly to minimal perturbations of the data. For carcinogens that augment background carcinogenic processes and/or for mutagenic carcinogens, at low doses the tumor incidence versus target tissue dose is expected to be linear. Pharmacokinetic data may be needed to identify and adjust for exposure-dose nonlinearities. Based on the assumption that the dose response is linear over low doses, a stable point estimate for low-dose cancer risk is proposed. Since various models give similar estimates of risk down to levels of 1%, a stable estimate of the low-dose cancer slope is provided by s = 0.01/ED01, where ED01 is the dose corresponding to an excess cancer risk of 1%. Thus, low-dose estimates of cancer risk are obtained by, risk = s X dose. The proposed procedure is similar to one which has been utilized in the past by the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration. The upper confidence limit, s*, corresponding to this point estimate of low-dose slope is similar to the upper limit, q1*, obtained from the generalized multistage model. The advantage of the proposed procedure is that s provides stable estimates of low-dose carcinogenic potency, which are not unduly influenced by small perturbations of the tumor incidence rates, unlike q1.

Sequence analysis of the nucleotide region encoding 2B, 2C, and the beginning of 3A as well as the nucleotide region encompassing the 5' noncoding region (5'NCR) of the genome was performed on consecutive virus passages after amplification of the viral RNA from the cell culture supernatant by antigen-capture PCR. By the 2nd passage of the GBM variants cultured in FRhK-4 or in HEK cells we found a mutation at nucleotide position 3889 (2B coding region) which results in an amino acid substitution from alanine to valine. Further mutations present in the 2B/2C region of the cell culture-adapted GBM variants differ from each other and occur after the 10th or even the 40th virus passage. Another early change, an in frame deletion of nine nucleotides in the 3A region, appeared in the 5th virus passage only in GBM cultured on FRhK-4 cells. This genome region showed different mutations in the virus passages on HEK and HFS cells. The 5'NCR of the cell culture-adapted GBM variants, in contrast, did not show any mutations before the 8th virus passage. The faster and more efficient growth of the HAV strain GBM during successive propagation on cell cultures seems to correlate with the appearance of mutations in the investigated genome regions.

The tumor suppressor gene, p53, is one of the most frequently mutated genes found in human tumors. To evaluate the role of XP-related genetic defects in the p53 gene, skin fibroblast cell lines derived from XP donors were analysed for mutations in exons 5-9 (the regions of gene highly susceptible for mutations) by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and nucleotide sequencing. Of the five XP-derived fibroblasts (complementation group A) and two control fibroblast cell lines, only one XP cell line showed an aberrant SSCP banding pattern in the region of the p53 gene (comprising the 7th exon and neighbouring intronic sequences). Nucleotide sequencing of this region confirmed a mutation in the 7th intron adjacent to the 7th exon, which did not affect the RNA splice site. These results suggest that constitutional/germ-line mutations in the p53 gene may not play a role in the occurrence of skin carcinomas in XP patients.

Recombinant toxins composed of mutants of Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) fused to the C-terminus of human interleukin 4 (IL4) are cytotoxic to IL4 receptor- (IL4R-) bearing tumor cells but bind to the IL4R with only 1% the affinity of IL4. We have developed a method to connect a toxin to a ligand which allows the junction to be moved to a location on the ligand which would minimize the binding impairment. We designed mutants of IL4 in which residue 28, 38, 68, 70, 97, or 105 was substituted with cysteine. All purified mutants bound to the IL4R with 60-100% the affinity of IL4, indicating that the IL4 structure was essentially unchanged. The IL4 mutants were then each conjugated through a disulfide bond to PE35, a truncated form of PE which contains a single cysteine. IL4 conjugated to PE35 at residue 28, 38, or 105 of IL4 bound with 10-fold improved affinity and was 10-fold more cytotoxic than the recombinant IL4-toxin in which PE is fused to position 129 at the C-terminus of IL4. IL4 containing PE35 conjugated at position 68, 70, or 97 had lower binding affinity and cytotoxic activity. These results indicate that the location of the ligand-protein junction can be selectively moved to enhance conjugate effectiveness, and implications could be made regarding which regions of IL4 are important for binding.

Here, we evaluate whether a cold environment (4 degrees C) or drugs which affect chloride and glutamate ion channel function block METH neurotoxicity in mice. Adult male CD mice received METH i.p. (4 x 10 mg/kg METH at 23 degrees C along with saline, 2.5 mg/kg (+)-MK-801, 40 mg/kg phenobarbital or 2.5 mg/kg diazepam and either 4 X 10 or 4 x 20 mg/kg METH at 4 degrees C). Multiple injections of METH (4 x 10 mg/kg, i.p.) at room temperature (23 degrees C) produced a significant depletion of dopamine (DA) in striatum at 24, 72 h, 1 and 2 weeks. Three days post 4 X 10 mg/kg METH at 23 degrees C, an 80% decrease in striatal dopamine (DA) occurred while the same dose at 4 degrees C produced only a 20% DA decrease, and 4 x 20 mg/kg METH at 4 degrees C produced a 54% DA decrease. At 23 degrees C (+)MK-801 completely blocked while phenobarbital (40% decrease) and diazepam (65% decrease) partially blocked decreases in striatal DA produced by 4 x 10 mg/kg METH. Decreases in DOPAC and HVA were similar to the decreases in DA after METH and antagonists. Multiple injections of METH (4 x 10 mg/kg, i.p.) at room temperature also produced a significant depletion of serotonin (5-HT) in striatum at 24, 72 h, 1 and 2 weeks. This depletion of 5-HT at room temperature was blocked either by changing the environmental temperature to 4 degrees C, or by pretreatment with MK-801, diazepam and phenobarbital. A similar pattern in the decreases of the 5-HT metabolite 5-HIAA was observed after METH treatment. Drugs which block METH toxicity, such as haloperidol (D-2 receptors), pentobarbital and phenobarbital (chloride channels) and MK-801 (NMDA/glutamate receptors), do not necessarily have the same mechanism of action but may either induce hypothermia or block induction of hyperthermia. Therefore, it is not clear how much of their protection against METH neurotoxicity is due to the blockade of the hyperthermia produce by METH.

Hydrophobic DNA adducts were evident only in smokers, and chromatographic profiles of the adducts were similar using either the butanol extraction or nuclease P1 enhancement method, which suggested that the adducts may be derived from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons but not aromatic amines. Immunoblots of larynx microsomes using anti-cytochrome P450 1A1/1A2, 2C, 3A4, 2E1, and 2A6 antibodies shelved intensities ranging from 1-10% of that typically observed with human liver microsomes. Enzymatic assays of larynx microsomes showed appreciable activity for benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylation (P450 1A1 and 2C) but not for 4-aminobiphenyl N-oxidation (P450 1A2), which indicated that the observed immunoreactivity was for P450 1A1; this represents the highest level of this P450 yet detected in human extrahepatic tissues. Accordingly, total DNA adduct levels in the larynx correlated strongly with levels of P450 2C, 1A1, and 3A4 but not with P450 2E1 or 2A6. Larynx cytosols also showed appreciable aromatic amine N-acetyltransferase activity for p-aminobenzoic acid (NAT-1) but not for sulfamethazine (NAT-2); however, NAT-1 activity was not correlated with total DNA adducts, which is again consistent with the lack of aromatic amine-DNA adducts detected by P-32-postlabeling. Thus, these results suggest that the DNA adducts detected in human larynx are largely derived from metabolic activation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in cigarette smoke by P450 2C, 3A4, and/or 1A1.

GSH (5 mM) alone slightly inhibited (10%) the DNA binding of N-acetoxy-PhIP (100 mu M) at pH 7.5, but the binding could be strongly inhibited in the presence of both GSH and GSTs. Among human GSTs, the isozyme A1-1 (alpha-class) was most effective (90% inhibition) follow-ed by A1-2 (40% inhibition); the effect of adding A2-2 was negligible, suggesting that the activity exists in subunit A1. In addition, human GST P1-1 (pi-class) also had some inhibitory effect (30%). Among the rat GSTs tested, GST 1-2 and GST 12-12 (theta-class), which are the equivalent of human A1-2 and T2-2, respectively, were able to inhibit DNA binding of N-acetoxy-PhIP (75 and 40%, respectively). This activity toward N-acetoxy-PhIP was dependent on enzyme concentration and was subject to inactivation by triethyltin bromide, a known GST inhibitor. In contrast, the binding of N-acetoxy-IQ or N-acetoxy-MeIQx to DNA was unaffected by addition of the human or rat GSTs; however, GSH alone significantly inhibited (40%) their binding to DNA. High-performance liquid chromatographic analyses of incubation mixtures containing N-acetoxy-PhIP, GSH, and GST A1-1 failed to detect GSH conjugates of PhIP. Only oxidized glutathione and the parent amine, PhIP, were detected as reaction products, suggesting a redox mechanism. GST activity in human hepatic and colon mucosal cytosols was subsequently examined using the synthetic or O-acetyltransferase-generated N-acetoxy derivatives of PhIP, IQ, and MeIQx as substrates. GST activity toward N-acetoxy-PhIP was expressed in all 8 livers but not in 6 colons. No activity toward N-acetoxy-IQ or N-acetoxy-MeIQx was detected in human liver cytosols. This study indicates that a GST-dependent detoxification pathway may be an important determinant for the organ specificity of the heterocyclic amine carcinogens. Moreover, the high specificity of the reaction for GST A1-1, which is known to be inducible by cruciferous and yellow-green vegetable consumption, is consistent with the protective effects of such diets against human colorectal cancer.

Recently, artifactual double-staining of some specimens has been observed with this assay. In these cases, the samples appear to be uncompensated for spectral overlap or to inappropriately coexpress two antigens simultaneously. This artifact can result in the apparent coexpression of CD4 and CD8 (observed in lymphoblastic processes) or of CD5 and CD20 (characteristic of chronic lymphocytic leukemia) in normal persons, leading to an erroneous diagnosis. Using plasma, serum, or immunoglobulin preparations from donors who exhibit this artifact we sought to determine 1) the source of the artifact and 2) ways to overcome it. This staining is apparently due to an immunoglobulin in the donors' serum and plasma which does not have specific reactivity with mouse immunoglobulin. Washing whole blood samples or blocking with mouse immunoglobulin is a convenient way of avoiding this artifact. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

SHR were given doxorubicin (1 mg/kg, i.v.), once a week for 12 weeks. Group 1 (n = 10) received doxorubicin alone; Groups 2, 3 and 4 (each, n = 5) received ICRF-186, 25 mg/kg (group 2), 12.5 mg/kg (group 3) or 6.25 mg/kg (group 4), i.p., 30 min before each dose of doxorubicin. Two groups of control animals (each, n = 5) received 12 weekly i.p. injections of saline or 25 mg/kg ICRF-186. ICRF-186 provided significant protection, in a dose-dependent manner, against the cardiotoxicity and nephrotoxicity of doxorubicin and attenuated the increases in cardiac immune effector cells (interstitial dendritic cells, cytotoxic T-helper lymphocytes and macrophages) associated with this cardiotoxicity. The results of the study were compared with those obtained with ICRF-187 under identical experimental conditions. Analysis of the cardiomyopathy scores, nephropathy scores and counts of the numbers of immune effector cells in the heart showed that, at a dose of 25 mg/kg, ICRF-186 is a somewhat less effective protectant than ICRF-187. At a dose of 12.5 mg/kg, both compounds induced generally similar degrees of protection. At a dose of 6.25 mg/kg, both had comparable, but only minimal, protective effects.

Both Fv fragments were expressed in soluble form in Escherichia coli and purified by affinity chromatography; diffraction-quality crystals were only obtained following separation of each Fv into distinct isoelectric forms. The crystals belong to space group C2, have unit cell dimensions a = 152.8 Angstrom, b = 79.4 Angstrom, c = 51.5 Angstrom, beta = 100.2 degrees, and diffract to better than 2.2 Angstrom resolution. The solvent content of the crystals is approximately 60% (v/v) with one Fv-Fv complex in the asymmetric unit. The ability to readily express both components of an antigen-antibody system in bacteria will allow us to rigorously assess the energetic contribution of individual amino acids to complex formation through pairwise mutagenesis of interacting residues.

These changes have come about as a result of continuous efforts to individualize therapy, to improve upon the safety and efficacy of drugs, and to respond to important questions about whether the drug development process produces adequate information about the effects of drugs in women. In turn, these efforts are the outgrowth of a long history in the United States of changes in the clinical care for women, changes in the use of women as research subjects, changing attitudes about the balance between protection and risks for women in clinical trials, and national movements by women to focus on issues of their health care and to transform the male-oriented model of clinical research. The new FDA guidelines, published in July 1993, will provide guidance to researchers on accumulating valuable information on how drugs work in women and will help make it possible for physicians and other caregivers to consider the effects of gender on health and treatment.

The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated to be 360,000, Upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified preparation yielded a homogeneous protein band having an apparent molecular weight of about 44,500. The amidase had pH and temperature optima of 8.5 and 40 degrees C, respectively, and its isoelectric point was pH 4.0. The amidase had apparent K-m values of 1.2, 2.6, 3.0, 2.7, and 5.0 mM for acrylamide, acetamide, butyramide, propionamide, and isobutyramide, respectively. Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry analysis indicated that the enzyme contains 8 mol of iron per mol of the native enzyme. No labile sulfide was detected. The amidase activity was enhanced by, but not dependent on Fe2+ Ba2+, and Cr2+. However, the enzyme activity was partially inhibited by Mg2+ and totally inhibited in the presence of Ni2+, Hg2+, Cu2+, Co2+, specific iron chelators, and thiol blocking reagents. The NH2-terminal sequence of the first 18 amino acids displayed 88% homology to the aliphatic amidase of Brevibacterium sp. strain R312.

We now demonstrate using double immunofluorescence that single cells are dually infected with SLE virus and rBV. Fourteen additional viruses including additional flaviviruses, other arbovirus classes, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and herpes simplex virus, type 1 (HSV-I) failed to produce a cytopathic effect (CPE) in Sf9 cells. Plaque assays indicated infectious virus was present for several weeks postinoculation for Yellow fever (YF), Dengue types 1 and 2 (DEN-1 and DEN-2), Gumbo limbo (GL), Eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus (EEE), Western equine encephalomyelitis virus (WEE), HSV-1, and VSV viruses. For HSV-1, GL, EEE, WEE and VSV, but not for YF, DEN-1 or DEN-2 viruses, this could be attributed solely to survival in the Sf9 cell culture media. Of the 14 viruses tested, only HSV-1 could be detected after 2 weeks in serum-free media. The data indicate that several viruses which are pathogenic for humans are stable for long periods of time at 27 degrees C in the serum-containing media used for cultivation of Sf9 cells. YF, DEN-1 and DEN-2 viruses may replicate in Sf9 cells at extremely low levels. This suggests that adventitious agents which do not produce obvious CPE or interfere with rBV infection or recombinant protein expression could contaminate Sf9 cell cultures or media.

Initially, 4-nitropyrene was metabolized by rat liver microsomes, or rat liver 9000g supernatant, to yield primarily two metabolites; one of these was identified as 4-nitropyrene-9,10-dione. The major metabolite of 4-nitropyrene in the presence Of 3,3,3-trichloropropylene-1,2-oxide was 9,10-epoxy-9,10-dihydro-4-nitropyrene. In parallel studies, oral administration of 58 mg (0.3 mCi/mmol)/kg body weight of [H-3]4-nitropyrene to female Sprague-Dawley rats, which are susceptible to mammary carcinogenesis by this agent, yielded 32% and 30.6% of the dose after 48 h as urinary and fecal excretion products, respectively. Excretion of the radioactivity remained slightly higher in the urine than in feces throughout 168 h after administration. Some of the fecal metabolites (isolated amounts expressed as % of dose) were identified as 4-aminopyrene (5.4), 9(10)-hydroxy-4(acetylamino)pyrene (3.3), and unmetabolized 4-nitropyrene (2.4). Sulfates (3.3)and glucuronides (2.4) of `9(10)-hydroxy-4-(acetylamino)pyrene were identified in the urine. This study indicates that nitroreduction and ring oxidation are metabolic pathways of 4-nitropyrene in vivo; similar findings were obtained previously with its structural isomers 1- and a-nitropyrene. However, the pattern of excretion of 4-nitropyrene is different; the significance of this observation in relation to tumor induction is discussed. C1 AMER HLTH FDN,VALHALLA,NY 10595.

Both normal (C57BL/10 x DBA/2)F1 mice and F1 recipients of syngeneic spleen cells (SynF1) expressed repertoires in which 13-17% of IgM and 3-5% of IgG-secreting cells were cross-reactive. By comparison, 43-55% of IgM and 9-40% of IgG-secreting cells from F1 recipients of parental DBA/2 spleen cells (GVHF1) were cross-reactive (P < 0.01, GVHF1 versus F1 or SynF1). The cross-reactivity of the GVHF1 IgM secreting cells remained elevated for >2 months following cell transfer. In contrast, the crossreactivity of IgG-secreting cells, which was significantly high at Week 3 post-transfer, declined to nearly normal levels by Week 9. These findings demonstrate that crossreactive B cells constitute an abnormally large fraction of the repertoire expressed by mice with chronic GVHR in a period when B cell hyperstimulation was occurring.

The established therapeutic regimen, fluorouracil and calcium folinate, acts by inhibiting thymidylate synthase in tumour tissues. The theoretical basis for incorporation of zidovudine into this chemotherapeutic regimen is to interfere with the thymidine salvage pathway lending to more effective depletion of thymidine nucleotide levels and enhanced cytotoxicity to rapidly proliferating cells. Patient plasma sampling was performed prior to termination of the 24-hour infusion to assess steady-state levels and during a 4-hour postinfusion period to observe the decay kinetics. Samples were assayed for zidovudine by high-performance liquid chromatography. Pharmacokinetic profiles were evaluated for 11 patients administered doses at escalating levels in the range of 7 to 15 g/m(2) of zidovudine (6 patients received 3 dose levels, 1 patient received 2 levels, and 4 patients received only 1 level). The data was analysed using NONMEM, a computer program for population pharmacokinetic analysis. A 2-compartment pharmacokinetic model with parallel first-order and Michaelis-Menten elimination was used as the structural model, and a constant variance model was used to model intraindividual error. First-order-clearance was modelled as being proportional to a covariate (serum creatinine clearance). Population estimates for volumes of the central and peripheral compartments were 24.3 and 62.5L, respectively. Estimates of first-order clearance and intercompartmental clearance in Wh were (0.436 x serum creatinine clearance) [in ml/min] and 50.2, respectively. The Michaelis-Menten constants, V-max and K-m, were 22.0 mg/L/h and 9.28 mg/L, respectively, where V-max is the maximum velocity of the capacity-limited process and K-m is the concentration at half the maximum velocity. The 2-compartment parallel elimination model described provided a good fit for the nonlinear kinetics observed for zidovudine at high doses. NONMEM I was found to be useful for pharmacokinetic analysis of a small population with dense sampling. C1 GEORGETOWN UNIV,VINCENT T LOMBARDI CANC RES CTR,WASHINGTON,DC.

Ten types and three sizes of valves were tested in vitro. Aortic pressure was measured by catheter between 1 and 6 cm from the valve. Pressure recovery was quantified as the slope of the gradient with distance from the annulus. Valve type, size, and flow rate effects were determined by analysis of variance. Relationships between Doppler and maximal catheter gradients were also analyzed statistically. The slope of pressure recovery was significantly higher in smaller valves (P < 0.01), in bioprosthetic rather than mechanical valves (P < 0.001), and at higher flows (P < 0.0001). Doppler/catheter slopes were dependent on valve type and size, with more overestimation by Doppler in mechanical (P < 0.01) and larger valves (P < 0.01). Errors due to catheter positioning are more likely wherever effects of pressure recovery are higher: in bioprosthetic valves, smaller valves, and at higher flow rates. Pressure recovery can explain overestimation by Doppler only if localized gradients closer than 1 cm from the valve exist. Clinicians should be aware of these effects of pressure recovery when making major diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.

A significant body of work has recently shown that pressure recovery distal to the point of maximum velocity must be taken into account in the evaluation of aortic flows. Supported by this new work, conceptual arguments are presented here that challenge the common computation of pressure gradient across a restricting orifice from measurements of maximum fluid velocity, V. We argue that ideal, quasi-steady flow proximal to and highly dissipative flow distal to the orifice are inappropriate simplifications. Rather, the relationship, TPG congruent-to K x V2, which frequently provides an acceptable estimate of TPG for values of K near 4, should be viewed as an empirical estimate of pressure drop due to loss mechanisms. Calculations of energy losses using one particular flow model demonstrate this. Such a reorientation in the interpretation of Doppler data provides critical insights into valve and patient variations, which heretofore have been assigned to measurement uncertainties. Based upon this analysis, the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Device Evaluation now asks that the coefficient K be determined in vitro for new prosthetic heart valves prior to human implantation.

This method of production, allows greater control of uranium-oxide particle size and distribution in the tube, making the production of fuel with greater concentrations of uranium oxide possible, and thus decreasing the volume of radioactive waste remaining after the fuel is spent. As the concentration of uranium oxide increases, however, there is an increase in failures during extrusion. To address this problem, an experimental procedure was developed to examine the response of powder aluminum, a material with a structure similar to that of the cermet fuel, to biaxial loadings such as those experienced during extrusion. Biaxial loadings can be varied from pure shear to simple tension or compression, or to combinations of these loadings in a numerically controlled 'tension-torsion' testing machine. Data obtained using this system were used to develop a model for the post-yield behavior in extruded powder aluminum which includes information derived both from the macroscopic stress-strain behavior of 1100 aluminum and extruded powder aluminum and from the observed microscopic structure of the extruded powder aluminum. This paper describes the development of the experimental system and shows the different biaxial mechanical behavior of the two materials. Test fixtures were developed and software was written to control constant strain-rate tension, compression, torsion, combined tension-torsion, and combined compression-torsion tests performed using a computer-controlled MTS biaxial testing machine. Extruded powder aluminum and 1100 aluminum specimens were tested at 427 degrees C, the powder-aluminum extrusion temperature, under those loading conditions. Each specimen was subjected to only one loading cycle. Data were recorded during loading only. Tested specimens were also sectioned and examined microscopically.

The analytical system consisted of a purge-and-trap apparatus which was interfaced directly with a gas chromatograph/flame ionization detector. Cryofocusing and non-cryofocusing GC systems were used. The technique was applied to spiked PETE test samples which were prepared at various benzene concentrations ranging from 100 ppb to 117 ppm. The initial spiked benzene concentration in the PETE test samples was determined gravimetrically. The HS/GC technique was limited by the slow desorption rate of benzene from the PETE matrix; as a result, multipurges were performed at 60-degrees-C. Regression analysis was done on the multipurge data to develop a desorption model which would predict the total amount of benzene in the PETE. The calculated results agreed with the experimental recoveries within +/- 10%. Recovery depended on the initial benzene level in the PETE and ranged from 70 to 90% after the first five purges.

The function basis is the Haar system (2D product of rectangular windows). This scheme allows one to derive the optimal shape of the apodisation window, which is angle varying, and the oversampling ratio between the pixel and the projection cell size. The discrete equivalent filter is also derived. The comparison of standard radial band-limited and separable Haar reconstructions shows that improvements, in terms of linearity, shift-invariance and aliasing, can be obtained even for the case of a limited number of views. Considerations of projection degradations are then analyzed according to a specific imaging device to derive the optimum oversampling ratio. C1 US FDA,CTR DEVICES & RADIOL HLTH,ROCKVILLE,MD 20857.

High spatial resolution is desirable for generating images of backscatter coefficient. Data was acquired from a homogeneous tissue-mimicking phantom and from a normal human liver in vivo. The AR method was much more resistant to gating artifacts than the traditional DET (discrete Fourier Transform) approach. The DFT method consistently underestimated backscatter coefficients at small gate lengths. Therefore backscatter coefficient image formation will be quantitatively more meaningful if based on AR spectral estimation rather than the DFT. The autoregressive method offers promise for enhanced spatial resolution and accuracy in ultrasonic tissue characterization and nondestructive evaluation of materials.

In December 1992, an outbreak of cholera gravis in Vellore, India, was attributed to a new serogroup of V. cholerae recently designated 0139. Serogroup 0139 cholera has since spread to 13 countries and has reached pandemic proportions. Serogroup 0139 cholera evades immunity to 01 cholera and is not detected by the standard 01 antigen test. Understanding the origins of 0139 cholera and determining the relatedness of 0139 to 01 cholera are necessary to devise strategies for detecting, reporting, and controlling this new pandemic. In order to determine the origins of this novel cholera serogroup, 0139 was analyzed for virulence genes, for virulence proteins and their regulation, and for its genomic background. We found that 0139 and 01 V. cholerae strains of the El Tor biotype possess highly homologous virulence genes encoding cholera toxin and toxin coregulated pill and that the regulation of virulence protein expression likewise was indistinguishable between 0139 and 01. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed the restriction digest pattern of 0139 strains to be closely related to that of 01 serogroup El Tor biotype cholera strains from the Indian subcontinent. However, PFGE shelved minor differences among individual 0139 cholera isolates, suggesting that 0139 V. cholerae is evolving.

We have targeted IL4R on a human solid tumor xenograft with chimeric proteins composed of human IL4 (hIL4) and 2 different mutant forms of a powerful bacterial toxin, Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE). The 2 chimeric toxins, termed hIL4-PE(4E) and hlL4-PE38QQR, showed specific, hIL4R-dependent and dose-dependent antitumor activities. Neither of the chimeric toxins showed antitumor potency when the ADP-ribosylation activity of the toxin was inactivated by mutagenesis. One of the chimeras, hIL4-PE38QQR, caused a complete although transient regression of established solid tumors. These observations indicate that hIL4-PE chimeric proteins should be further evaluated for the treatment of human malignancies. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The protein composition of 14 ovarian cyst fluids (OCF) from either cystadenomas or cystadenocarcinomas, and conditioned media (CM) from seven ovarian carcinoma lines in culture, were-analyzed by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, and Western immunoblots. The major protein common to all the above samples was a 65 kDa protein that, by densitometry, constituted between 43% and 77% of OCF protein and 19% and 38% of CM protein. By Western blot analysis, this band was immunologically related to human albumin. Moreover, immunoreactivity to albumin was demonstrated in ovarian epithelium in vivo. Ovarian epithelium synthesizes and releases an albumin-like protein that constitutes the major secretory protein. This may suggest an osmotic mechanism for cyst enlargement in ovarian cystadenomas.

The sample is extracted with methanol, and the extract is filtered through paper. Chromatography is performed in 2 stages, each using a 7.5 cm-long normal-phase column but different mobile phases. In the first stage, intended exclusively for reserpine, the mobile phase consists of methanol containing 2% aqueous 1-pentanesulfonic acid sodium salt at 4 parts/1000. Detection and quantitation of reserpine was by fluorescence at 280 nm (excitation) and 360 nm (emission). In the second stage, the amount of the salt solution in the mobile phase was increased to 5%. Detection and quantitation of hydrochlorothiazide and hydralazine HCl was by UV absorbance at 260 nm. One commercial sample of tablets was analyzed by the proposed method. Two determination of each ingredient were made on a ground composite. Ten individual tablets also were examined.

The sulfonamides are extracted with chloroform-acetone, the organic phase is evaporated, the residues are dissolved in an aqueous potassium phosphate solution, and the fatty residues are removed by washing with hexane. The aqueous layer is collected, filtered, and injected onto an LC system, and the analyte is detected by ultraviolet (UV) absorption at 265 nm. To quantitate all 8 sulfonamides isocratically, 2 chromatographic conditions are required: 12% methanol in the mobile phase for 5 sulfonamides, and 30% methanol in the mobile phase for 4 sulfonamides. Sulfamethazine (SMZ), the most widely used sulfonamide, is detected by both systems. Collaborators were instructed to analyze 3 replicates each of control milk and control milk fortified at 3 levels. They were also provided with 20 blind incurred samples (10 samples in duplicate) to analyze. For 10 ppb fortified milk, the average interlaboratory recovery for the 8 sulfonamides ranged from 56.2% for sulfaquinoxaline (SQX) to 82.7% for SMZ in the 12% methanol mobile phase (SMZ12). Also at this level, S-r ranged from 3.2 for SQX to 8.9 for SMZ12, and S-R ranged from 6.9 for sulfadimethoxine to 17.2 for SMZ in the 30% methanol system (SMZ30). At 10 ppb, RSD(r) and RSD(R) ranged from 5.7% for SQX to 10.8% for SMZ12, and 10.1% for sulfamerazine to 20.9% for SMZ30, respectively. These results demonstrate that the method is suitable for the determination of the 8 sulfonamide residues in milk at 10 ppb. However, the identification of positives by this procedure needs additional confirmation by procedures comparable to the specificity achievable by liquid or gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry.

Confirmation of the identity of LGV was based on matching the retention times and relative abundances of 6 ions in the extract to corresponding values obtained for the LGV standard. The procedure was validated by replicate analyses of negative control, fortified control, and residue-incurred chicken fat. The presence of LGV was confirmed by the GC/MS procedure in all samples found to contain LGV by prior liquid chromatographic analyses. There were no interferences in the control samples.

Ground black pepper was stirred in water to extract interfering color. The mixture was filtered and the residue was scattered on plates of liquid test agar. The alkaline phosphatase cleaved phosphate radicals from phenolphthalein diphosphate, generating free phenolphthalein, which appeared as pink to red-purple around the fecal particles in the previously colorless medium. For the 10- and 20-particle spike level, collaborators recovered averages of 12.3 and 24.1 particles, respectively. The experimental background was zero.

Results of colony hybridization analyses showed that, in many instances, a slightly greater number of Shigella were detected by the DNA probe on MacConkey agar than on trypticase soy agar. Elevating the incubation temperature from 35 degrees to 42 degrees C slightly reduced the number of Shigella detectable by the probe. However, neither aerobic nor anaerobic incubation atmosphere or the inclusion of novobiocin in the media showed any consistent effect on the recovery of S. flexneri by the probe. Moreover, the detection efficiency of the probe was not generally affected by the different MacConkey agar formulations tested.

Infrared spectral bands observed in the fingerprint region were unique even for closely related structures. The identities of the 4 major components, intermedine, lycopsamine, 7-acetylintermedine, and 7-acetyllycopsamine, were confirmed by comparison with standards. Confirmation was also obtained by using the established techniques of electron ionization and positive ion chemical ionization gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The infrared spectra observed for the components of the root extract were consistent with known structures of specific PAs. The identities of the minor components, symphytine and its isomers symlandine and/or symviridine, in the same extract were not confirmed. C1 US FDA,DIV NAT PROD,WASHINGTON,DC 20204.

The sterol PNB derivatives are separated on a Cg column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-hexane-water (250 + 30 + 3) and quantitated by UV detection at 280 nm. The limit of detection for cholesterol is 2 ng. The response was linear over a range of 4 to 250 ng (r=0.999). Assays of NIST SRM 1845 and 1563 by this method gave results that were closer to the certified values than were results obtained by the AOAC gas chromatographic method. Reproducibility was evaluated by using foods containing low, medium, and high levels of cholesterol. The % coefficient of variation ranged from 1.8 to 6.7. Studies on a wide variety of food products (using lipid extraction and saponification-methylation) gave a mean recovery of 87.5 +/- 10.1%. Direct saponification of poultry and dairy products gave a mean recovery of 101.3 +/- 15.8%. Peak purity was determined by diode array spectrophotometry.

The analysis involves a dry ash of the supplements followed by wet digestion. The Pb is determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GFAAS). Analysis of Ca is by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Ca supplements fortified with Pb at levels ranging from 0.25 to 10.0 mu g/g yielded recoveries ranging from 82.7 +/- 4.2 to 105.0 +/- 1.7%. To test accuracy, the method was applied to National Institute of Standards and Technology standard reference materials (NIST SRMs) 1572 citrus leaves and 1486 bone meal. GFAAS analysis of SRM 1572 averaged 13.1 +/- 0.6 mu g Pb per g (certificate value, 13.3 +/- 2.4 mu g Pb per g), and analysis of SRM 1486 averaged 1.34 +/- 0.11 mu g Pb per g (certificate value, 1.335 +/- 0.014 mu g Pb per g). ICP-AES analysis of SRM 1572 averaged 3.12 +/- 0.01% Ca (certificate value, 3.15 +/- 0.10% Ca by weight), and analysis of SRM 1486 averaged 27.63 +/- 0.27% Ca (certificate value, 26.58 +/- 0.24% Ca). The method's limit of quantitation (LOQ), on supplement Ca basis and a 1 g sample, averaged 0.75 mu g Pb per 1 g Ca for supplements containing 9 to 35% Ca by weight. At a Pb level of 0.663 mu g/g Ca, the reproducibility relative standard deviation (RSD(r)) averaged 7.3% and the repeatability relative standard deviation (RSD(R)) averaged 8.0%. It is recommended that the method be studied collaboratively. RP SIITONEN, PH (reprint author), US FDA,NATL CTR TOXICOL RES,RES OFF,DIV CHEM,JEFFERSON,AR 72079, USA.

We have detected PtlE, PtlF, and PtlG in immunoblots of extracts of B. pertussis by using antibodies raised to fusion proteins consisting of maltose-binding protein and the individual Ptl proteins. These proteins have apparent molecular weights similar to those predicted by DNA sequence analysis. Cell fractionation studies indicated that all three Ptl proteins are associated with the membranes of B. pertussis, suggesting that the Ptl proteins form a gate or channel which facilitates transport of pertussis toxin. Cell extracts of other Bordetella spp. were probed with antibodies to Ptl proteins for the presence of these transport proteins. Neither Bordetella parapertussis nor Bordetella bronchiseptica contained detectable levels of PtlE or PtlF. This lack of detectable Ptl protein may provide an explanation for previous observations which indicated that introduction of the genes encoding pertussis toxin subunits from B. pertussis into other Bordetella spp. results in production of the toxin but not secretion of the toxin.

Previous studies have shown that the fha locus encoding filamentous hemagglutinin is regulated directly by the bvgAS two component system, while regulation of ptx encoding pertussis toxin is less direct or occurs by a different mechanism. With a strain containing gene fusions to each of these regulated loci, screening was done for mutations which were defective for pa expression but maintained normal or nearly normal levels of fha expression. Two mutations which had such a phenotype and were also deficient in adenylate cyclase toxin/hemolysin expression were found and characterized more fully. Both were found to affect residues in the C-terminal portion of the BvgA response regulator protein, a domain which shares sequence similarity with a family of regulatory proteins including FixJ, UhpA, MalT, RcsA, RcsB, and LuxR. The residues affected are within a region which, by extension from studies on the LuxR protein, may be involved in transcriptional activation.

Fewer subjects in group I had measurable antibody levels (greater than or equal to 0.05 mu g/mL) than in groups II-IV (41% vs. 76%, P < .001). The geometric mean in group I (0.09 mu g/mL) was significantly lower (P < .001) than in the older groups (0.23, 0.19, and 0.20 mu g/mL, respectively) with little or no overlap of the 95% confidence limits (1.96 SE) about the means.

The concern has been that Class 3A diode-laser pointers have replaced the safer helium-neon (He-Ne) Class 2 laser pointers. Hundreds of thousands of small He-Ne visible-wavelength lasers have been traditionally used for alignment and pointing, laser demonstrations and laser displays in science, education and industry, but can the diode laser be as safe and effective? Not infrequently, some people associate ''lasers'' with Buck Rogers and ''Star Wars'', and are concerned whether their use in public is safe. This safety issue is raised and the risks of viewing small lasers are compared with viewing the sun or bright spotlights. It is shown that He-Ne lasers through Class 3a (up to 5 mW power) are not a significant eye hazard; however, Class 3A diode lasers may not elicit a strong ''aversion response'' in some individuals, and greater precautions may be necessary than with He-Ne lasers of the same power.

To investigate the possibility that overproduction of nitric oxide might play a role in the neuropathology of inflammatory and noninflammatory neurological diseases, we compared levels of the markers of nitric oxide, nitrite plus nitrate, in the CSF of controls with those in patients with various neurologic diseases, including Huntington's and Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and HIV infection. We found that there were no significant increases in the CSF levels of these nitric oxide metabolites, even in patients infected with HIV or in monkeys infected with poliovirus, both of which have significantly elevated levels of the neurotoxin quinolinic acid and the marker of macrophage activation, neopterin. However, CSF quinolinic acid, neopterin, and nitrite/nitrate levels were significantly increased in a small group of patients with bacterial and viral meningitis.

The preparation was stable in the NMR perfusion apparatus for 24 h. The effects of inclusion of ethanolamine and dexamethasone-21-acetate in the perfusion media on phosphorus-containing metabolites was assessed by examination of serial P-31 NMR spectra. Phosphomonoesters increased significantly during the fourth hour of perfusion with ethanolamine (3 mM) and remained elevated. A corresponding decrease in nucleotide triphosphates was noted, but phosphocreatine (PCr) remained unchanged. Dexamethasone perfusion resulted in a biphasic effect on phosphomonoester metabolism and a dose-dependent decrease in PCr and nucleotide triphosphate levels. A log-linear relationship was observed between dexamethasone dose in the 1-100-nM range and a decrease in PCr. These techniques with an isolated intact epidermal preparation are useful for elucidating mechanisms of corticosteroid action on the skin and serve as a basis for developing a mechanistically relevant topical corticosteroid bioequivalence technique.

In the assessment of treatment effects, variability due to a variety of sources causes problems that are best controlled by randomized clinical trials. Currently most trials give only a short term picture of RA, a chronic disease whose outcome is multidimensional. Inclusion criteria of clinical trials are frequently very strict, raising concern about the external validity of the results. More longterm data is needed to guide clinical practice. Observational studies may contribute to the body of evidence, but have inherent shortcomings. They are liable to bias and supply weaker evidence. There must be creative development of trial designs suitable for evaluating longterm outcomes. Such trials may include many of the positive features of observational studies, but should not omit the principles of randomization and controlled comparison.

The test can be performed quickly and without damage to the glove. Standard holes in nickel masks, ranging in diameter from 0.015 mm to 0.10 mm, were used to calibrate test sensitivity. Air pressure losses in test gloves were compared directly to air pressure in an intact glove. Holes in glove fingers and in glove palms were made with an excimer laser and also with an acupuncture needle. These gloves were then tested with this differential dr deflation test and with the standard 1000 mL water fill test. The new test offers similar test sensitivity to the 1000 mL test and, in addition, offers the possibility of quantitative leak testing.

We examined nutrition as a cofactor in HIV disease by reviewing the current literature on the interactions of nutrition, infectious disease processes, and immune system dysfunction. Studies demonstrate that poor nutritional status and infection affect the immune system and interact with each other. This relationship leads to the development of opportunistic infections and malignancies, which may result in a diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Moreover, evidence from our review indicates that nutritional status may play a role in HIV disease progression. We recommend that clinical trials be conducted to evaluate general malnutrition and the efficacy of supplementation with specific nutrients at various stages of HIV disease.

The alpha-polymorph was formed by crystallization from 2-ethoxyethanol, methanol or dichloromethane, while the beta-polymorph was formed by crystallization from a supersaturated solution in refluxing 2-ethoxyethanol. The two polymorphs were characterized by IR spectra, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). melting points, powder X-ray diffraction patterns, and X-ray crystallography. They were easily differentiated by IR (KBr) in which the alpha polymorph absorbed at 3196, 3098 and 859 cm(-1) and the beta at 3276 and 755 cm(-1). DSC scans of the alpha and beta forms showed endothermic peaks at 272.3 and 275.7 degrees C, respectively. During this measurement the alpha form was partially or fully converted into the beta form if the rate of temperature change was slow or if the alpha form contained some beta which provided seed crystals for the interconversion. Upon remelting both forms gave one peak corresponding to the beta polymorph. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns for the two forms differ significantly. The crystal structures of the two polymorphs differ primarily in their mode of hydrogen bonding. In the alpha polymorph the molecules form dimers, while in the beta the dimers form infinite linear strings linked by bifurcated hydrogen bonds along the b-axis.

With the use of a novel CD4(+) T-cell line (PM-1) permissive to infection by both monocytotropic (MT) and T-cell-tropic virus types, we present a comparative analysis of the immunological properties of a prototypic primary MT isolate of HIV-1 strain JR-CSF (MT-CSF) with those of a T-cell-tropic variant (T-CSF) of the same virus, which emerged spontaneously in vitro. The parental MT-CSF infected only PM-1 cells and was markedly resistant to neutralization by sera from HIV-1-infected individuals, rabbit antiserum to recombinant MT-CSF gp120, and anti-V3 monoclonal antibodies. The T-CSF variant infected a variety of CD4(+) T-cell lines, contained positively charged amino acid substitutions in the gp120 V3 region, and was highly sensitive to antibody neutralization. Neutralization and antibody staining of T-CSF-expressing cells were significantly inhibited by HIV-1 V3 peptides; in contrast, the MT strain showed only weak V3-specific binding of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. Exposure of PM-1 cells to a mixture of both viruses in the presence of human anti-HIV-1 neutralizing antiserum resulted in infection with only MT-CSF. These results demonstrate that although the V3 region of MT viruses is immunogenic, the target epitopes in the V3 principal neutralizing domain on the membrane form of the MT envelope appear to be cryptic or hidden from blocking antibodies.

We investigated replication of HAV in nonprimate cells by inoculating 20 cell lines from different species with the tissue culture-adapted HM175 strain. Slot blot hybridization and immunofluorescence analysis revealed that HAV replicated in GPE, SP 1K, and LB-RS-2 D10 cells of guinea pig, dolphin, and pig origin, respectively. Studies in IB-RS-2 D10 cells were discontinued because cultures were contaminated with classical swine fever virus. A growth curve showed that HAV grew poorly in GPE cells and intermediately in SP 1K cells compared with growth in FRhK-4 cells. Therefore, the cell surface receptor(s) and other host factor(s) required for HAV replication are present in nonprimate as well as primate cells.
