Granuloma formation in rat liver after hepatic vein ligation

Summary After occlusion of the hepatic vein draining 1 lobe of the rat liver, macrophage granulomas develop which are reproducible and apparently related to a heat-labile macrophage mobilising factor.     

Composition and efficacy of iodothyronine immunogens and host responsiveness in radioimmunoassay (RIA) for serum thyroxine (T4)

Summary An immunogen was prepared consisting of iodinated and thyroxylated bovine thyroglobulin which on theoretical and practical grouds was highly specific for thyroxine; a rabbit antiserum derived from it fell within limits for RIA specification under conditions wherein a T4-BSA immunogen product was inactive.     

Cellular control of the tick-borne virus antigen production in persistently infected cell culture

Summary The influence of inhibition or stimulation of cellular DNA synthesis on tick-borne virus antigen production in persistently infected cell culture was studied. Either mitomycin C or cytosine-arabinoside caused cessation of antigen-containing cell number increase. Stimulation of cellular DNA synthesis by growth medium change increased the level of antigen-containing cells. When HEp-2-Sof culture was synchronized, a correlation was observed between the entrance of cells into DNA synthesis phase and the increase of proportion of antigen-containing cells.     

Sur l'origine de l'hypoblaste chez les oiseaux

Summary In the hypoblast-deprived chick embryos, with the help of carbon particle marking and tritiated thymidine labelling, it was found that the regenerated hypoblast consists of the cells invaginated through the primitive streak and those derived from the germ wall.
