Three biochemical tests (glucose fermentation, catabolism of arginine and phosphatase activity) were found to be very useful for a preliminary biochemical grouping prior to serological identification. Using these tests, the strains could be divided into six groups that did not show any antigenic overlapping. By serological examination using the indirect immunofluorescence technique and growth inhibition 35 isolates were identified as M. canis; 21 were identified as M. edwardii; 10 as M. cynos; 10 as the feline species M. gateae; 30 as M. spumans; 2 as M. maculosum; 2 as the bovine species M. bovigenitalium; and 5 as M. feliminutum, a species previously represented by a single strain isolated from a cat. The three remaining strains which were glucose positive and arginine and phosphatase negative were placed in a separate serogroup, group A, as they were serologically different from the established canine species.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.

The other group (9 patients) had never harboured Ps. aeruginosa in the respiratory tract and presented no demonstrable precipitins against this bacteria. The lymphocytes were examined for the presence of 2 surface markers for B cells: receptor for C3 complement component (EAC rosette-formation) and surface immunoglobulins (immunofluorescent staining), and for the presence of 1 surface marker for T cells: spontaneous binding of sheep red blood cells (E rosette-formation). The B:T cell ratio was nearly identical in the 2 groups of patients whereas the total numbers of B and T cells were significant higher in patients with chronic Ps. aeruginosa infection. The number of Ps. aeruginosa precipitins per serum was significant positively correlated to the total number of T cells, wheras the correlation with the total number of B cells was insignificant.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.

There was no overlapping between the MI of the two groups. Blocking of protein synthesis by means of puromycin prevented the migration inhibition of cells from tuberculin positive persons at PPD 50 μg/ml and 100 μg/ml. In some cases the migration of cells from tuberculin negative persons was inhibited in the presence of PPD 100 μg/ml. This inhibition could not be prevented by puromycin and was probably due to a toxic effect of PPD.

The present study was carried out in order to explore the reason(s) for the depressed immunological activity of allogeneic irradiation chimaeric mice. It was found that these mice had an elevated level of θ positive cells compared to mice transplanted with syngeneic bone marrow cells, but their spleen cells did not show any detectable specific or third-party GVH response. Spleen cells from allogeneic irradiation chimaeras were not able to participate in a collaborative GVH response with lymph node cells either. Possible reasons for the immunological inertness of θ positive cells in allogeneic irradiation chimaeras are discussed.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.

Severe disease, characterized by fever, anorexia and dyspnoea, was seen in the animals infected with the RH strain and one sow died on day 4. Mild febrile disease was seen in the porcine strain infections. Parasitaemia and Toxoplasma antibodies became demonstrable in all sows, and at term the sows delivered dead and/or live piglets, the mortality being 50–100 per cent in three RH strain infected litters and 30 per cent in one porcine strain infected litter. At sacrifice, Toxoplasma was found in the sows infected with the porcine strain but in none of those infected with the RH strain. Non-viable Toxoplasma was demonstrated histologically in 17 of 35 dead piglets and viable Toxoplasma was isolated from the cord blood of three liveborn piglets. At sacrifice 3–4 weeks after birth, Toxoplasma was demonstrable in several piglets from both sows infected with the porcine strain but in none of the piglets from sows infected with the RH strain. It is concluded that toxoplasmosis during the 3rd month of pregnancy in swine may cause fetal infection, resulting in death and congenital toxoplasmosis of liveborn piglets. Infection of the fetuses occurs probably during the maternal parasitaemia but horizontal infection i. e. from one litter mate to another, may also take place. There is little chance of isolating viable Toxoplasma from mummified or macerated fetuses, but non-viable Toxoplasma may be demonstrated by histological examination.","PeriodicalId":7323,"journal":{"name":"Acta pathologica et microbiologica Scandinavica.
