Macrophage binding of Staphylococcus albus is blocked by anti I-region alloantibody

Cell surface interactions involving carbohydrate may be important in immune recognition. Previous work from this laboratory has demonstrated the presence of 'lectin-like' receptors on mouse peritoneal macrophages that bind bacteria by means of their cell wall sugars. Others have shown that Ia molecules can bind antigen at specific sites which may be involved in presenting antigen to the immune system and recent work has shown that these molecules can carry carbohydrate determinants. It has also been found that human Ia molecules can bind to carbohydrates. As cell surface carbohydrate recognition mechanisms have been implicated in other immune interactions sugar-specific receptors may have a function in self--non-self recognition. We show here that the binding of the bacterium Staphylococcus albus to mouse peritoneal macrophages was inhibited by various conventional and monoclonal antibodies to Ia antigens suggesting that an I-region gene product may be associated with the binding of unopsonized bacteria.     

Influence of substance P and fragments on passive avoidance behavior

N-terminal and C-terminal fragments of substance P (SP) have been shown to exert opposite effects on antinociception, grooming and fighting in mice. The present experiments explored whether these findings could be generalized to passive avoidance behavior. Substance P (SP-(1-11] and the C-terminal fragment pyroglutamyl-SP-(7-11) attenuated passive avoidance behavior when picogram amounts were injected into the nucleus accumbens. In contrast, the N-terminal fragment SP-(1-7) had an opposite effect and facilitated passive avoidance behavior.

A Kinetic Model of Chromium in a Flame

Chromium has been identified as a carcinogenic metal.Incineration is the useful method for disposal of toxic chromium hazard waste and a chromium kinetic model in a flame is very important to study chromium oxidation.Chromium chemical kinetics over a range of temperatures of a hydrogen/air flame is proposed.Nine chromium compounds and fifty-eight reversible chemical reactions were considered The forward reaction rates are calculated based on the molecular collision approach for unknown ones and Arrhenius's Law for known ones.The backward reaction rates were calculated according to forward reaction rates, the equilibrium constants and chemical thermodynamics.It is verified by several equilibrium cases and is tested by a hydrogen/air diffusion flame.The results show that the kinetic model could be used in cases in which the chromium kinetics play an important role in a flame
