Crepitin,a phytohemagglutinin fromHura crepitans

Zusammenfassung Aus dem Saft des BaumesHura crepitans wurde eine Fraktion gewonnen, die wahrscheinlich ein Lipoglykoprotein ist und hämagglutinierende und toxische Eigenschaften besitzt.     

Sex attractant of the larch bud moth found by electroantennogram method

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der Antennogramm-Methode wurdetrans-11-Tetracedenylacetat als spezifisches Attraktans für Männchen des LärchenwicklersZeiraphera diniana bestimmt. In geeigneter Konzentration ist die Attraktivität der synthetischen Substanz derjenigen virginer Weibchen ebenbürtig.

Contribution No. 46 of the research team for the investigation of the population dynamics of the larch bud moth, directed by Professor Dr.P. Bovey. The research was aided by the Swiss National Funds for Scientific Research.     

delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) inhibition of the membrane transport system for thymidine]

THC decreases 3H-thymidine uptake within 15 sec. after addition of the drug to the culture (L1210 murine lymphoma cells and human lymphocytes). Experiments performed at 0 degrees C indicate that THC has no action on thymidine binding to the carrier. THC in micromolar concentration inhibits DNA synthesis through a alteration of membrane configuration.     

Inclusion of Gross virus cell surface associated antigen in liposomes]

The Gross virus associated cell surface antigen GCSAa was extracted from (C58NT)D cells by solubilization of membranes with detergent and partially purified. This antigen was entraped in liposomes. Absorption experiments of the cytotoxic activity towards EmaleG2 cells of a W/Fu anti (C58NT)D serum showed the presence of the antigen at the surface of sensibilized liposomes.     

Immunocytology of alpha-endorphin positive hypothalamic fibers of Carassius auratus L. and Cyprinus carpio L.]

An immunocytological study of the basal hypothalamus of Carassius auratus and Cyprinus carpio with an alpha-endorphin antiserum shows the different nerve processes belonging probably to the immunoreactive cells of the lateral part of the N.L.T. According to their pathways, two main fibre tracts have been distinguished: many fluorescent fibres converge towards the pituitary gland into which they enter, other fibres run caudally through the tuber towards the nucleus tuberis inferior (Baumgarten and Braak) where they could not be followed further.
