The siderophore mediated release of iron and magnesium from Mt St. Helens' ash and silicate rock standards

Summary Substantial amounts of iron and magnesium were observed to be released from ash from Mt St. Helens' and US Geological Survey Silicate Rock Standards by the siderophore rhodotorulic acid.This project was supported by the Robert A. Welch Foundation (Y-773) and the Lamar Research Council. We are grateful to S. Arnow, W. Matthews III, V. Pullen and M. Akers for their interest and assistance in obtaining Mt St. Helens' ash samples.     

Artifacts from agar-protein interaction simulating a bacterial growth in the haemocultures.

Some morphological, histochemical and biochemical properties of the particles taking origin from the polysaccharide-proteins interaction in the presence of platelets and lymphocytes are described.     

Peritoneal macrophages from adjuvant arthritic rats enhance tumour cell growth in vitro.

Peritoneal macrophages from rats with adjuvant arthritis enhance the incorporation of 3H-thymidine in 2 tumour cell lines in vitro. Maximal enhancement is found during the development of the secondary lesions, and it is suggested that the immunologic commitment of the macrophages could interfere with their regulation of tumour cell proliferation in vivo.
