The development of amyloidosis in this strain was delayed compared with the development of amyloidosis in the strain of control mice C3H. Spleen grafts from casein sensitized non-amyloidotic “nude” and C3H mice were transferred to mice from both strains. Only grafts from casein-sensitized C3H mice could accelerate amyloid formation in recipients, whereas grafts from the casein-sensitized “nude” mice had no such effect. Antibodies to casein could be detected neither in the donor mice nor in the recipients. The observed acceleration could be due to a transfer of casein stimulated T-lymphocytes. Spleen cells from amyloidotic “nude” and C3H mice were transferred to both strains. Amyloid formation occurred only in recipients belonging to the C3H strain. As amyloid formation in the recipients—in this transfer model—is dependent on heavy cytotoxic treatment, it seems unlikely that amyloid formation in the recipients is due to immune reactions elicited by donor or recipient lymphoid cells. The reason why amyloidosis cannot be transferred by spleen cells to nude mice could be due to a poorer trapping of donor spleen cells in the nude spleens than in the normal C3H spleens.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.

Neisseria catarrhalis and Moraxella nonliqucfaciens were the predominating organisms, being equally frequent and representing 87.3 per cent of 111 oxidase positive isolates. In part of the study, comprising 130 patients, N.catarrhalis was isolated from 16.2 per cent and M. nonliquefaciens from 17.7 per cent of the nose specimens. M. liquefaciens and M. osloensis were isolated only occasionally, whereas the two species M. phenylpyrouvica and M. kingii were not encountered. Ten per cent of the isolates belonged to genus Neisseria in the strict sense. An ecological distinction is thereby indicated between rodshaped moraxellae (e.g., M. nonliquefaciens) and “false neisseriae” (e.g., N. catarrhalis) on the one hand and the “true neisseriae” on the other, with only the former groups having an important habitat in the nose. N. elongata, a rodshaped member of genus Neisseria, was not observed in this location. About 80 per cent of the N. catarrhalis and M. nonliquefaciens strains were competent in genetic transformation.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.

The seven preparations tested represented “crude” or partially purified toxins produced by different strains of Stachybotrys alternans and toxic fractions obtained by partial purification of the product of one strain. The order of sensitivity of the methods was almost invariably: the mouse fibroblast test most sensitive, the rabbit skin test next, and the brine shrimp (Artemia salina) test last. A conspicuous variation by preparation in relative sensitivity of the mouse fibroblast test and the rabbit skin test was revealed, however. The variation ranged from a sensitivity of the rabbit skin test approximately 2.5 times higher than that in the mouse fibroblast tests to the other limit when the mouse fibroblast test was 80 times more sensitive than the rabbit skin test. The variation is interpreted to provide the first experimental proof of heterogeneity in biological effect based on chemical differences among the compounds constituting “stachybotrys toxin”. The toxic fractions obtained by purification of two crude preparations and identified as toxic by the mouse fibroblast test showed different patterns of distribution of toxicity. The results demonstrate that qualitative differences may exist in the chemical structure of the population of toxic compounds of “stachybotrys toxin” produced by different strains of S. alternans.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.
