Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis: Reactivity of IgE and IgG antibodies with antigenic components of Aspergillus fumigatus (IgE/IgG antigen complexes)

Sera of patients with ABPA were tested by XRIE tests incorporating their own serum (self-XRIE) to detect the presence of IgG/IgE antigen complexes to a “reference” Aspergillus fumigatus preparation. Of the 32 sera studied, 29 (90%) had visible precipitin (IgG) peaks, and 27 of these 29 as well as the three apparently precipitin-negative sera, i.e., 30 (94%), showed binding of specific IgE by autoradiography. The two precipitin-positive sera that did not show IgE binding were also skin test negative and RAST negative to this A. fumigatus antigen. Specific IgG as determined in ELISA correlated well with the grading of the XIE precipitin peaks (p < 0.05). There was also a highly significant correlation between specific IgE by RAST and grading the radioactive uptake seen in the autoradiograph (p < 0.001) indicating, for each serum, the presence of IgG antibodies to most of the components to which there was specific IgE. In the self-XRIE tests there was considerable variation of reactivity from serum to serum, in numbers of antigen/antibody peaks observed, in relative peak heights, and in the intensity of the respective staining. By comparing each test to a “reference” pattern developed with the use of an ABPA serum pool, the antigenic components of A. fumigatus were found to be of two main types: (1) antigens that appeared to be poorly precipitating (possibly low-molecular-weight components) but showed strong IgE binding (these were apparently major allergenic components and with one exception proved to be the faster migrating components) and (2) antigens that produced the strongest precipitin reactions with only weak binding of specific IgE and therefore minor allergenic components.     

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis in rabbits. Modulation of pulmonary inflammation by long-term aerosol challenge with antigen

Immunized rabbits that were aerosol challenged for 2 to 3 wk with pigeon dropping extract, an etiologic agent of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, developed chronic pulmonary inflammation associated with cell-mediated immunity in bronchoalveolar cells. However, prolonged aerosol challenge for 12 wk resulted in the diminution of pulmonary inflammation (modulation) and the loss of demonstrable cell-mediated immunity. This was probably not due to loss of sensitized lymphocytes that mediated pulmonary inflammation. Furthermore, rabbits undergoing modulation when they were challenged with an unrelated antigen were refractory to the development of pulmonary inflammation for at least 9 wk. After this refractory period, animals reimmunized and aerosol challenged with pigeon dropping extract displayed an anamnestic response and produced pulmonary lesions that were strikingly similar to the histopathology of human hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

A portable device for the rapid concentration of viruses from large volumes of natural freshwater

A portable device for the rapid concentration of viruses from natural freshwaters described and its performance in field use is evaluated. The system handled up to 500 litres of water in less than 90 min at a cost of only 2 pounds per sample. Where the samples contained sufficient bacteriophages for detection by direct plating the apparent phage recoveries were greater than 75%. Plant and animal viruses were also concentrated from waters with this system.     

Measurement of fatty acid oxidation in premature newborn infants with the 13C-triolein breath test

The 13C-triolein breath test is a method giving evidence of extent and rate of fatty acid oxidation in newborn infants on parenteral nutrition. The test has the special advantage of being non-invasive. Triolein labeled with the stable carbon isotope 13C and emulsified in soybean-oil is used as a tracer. 10 mg of 13C triolein per kg body weight are administered intravenously. The 13CO2 resulting from the fatty acid oxidation is analysed in expired breath by ratio-mass-spectrometry. The calculated 13C elimination is representative of the rate of fatty acid oxidation during the examination period. First studies on 15 premature infants have shown that an average of 27.0 +/- 1.8% of the dose administered is oxidized within 4 h. The present results suggest that the oxidation rate may be related to the maturity of the prematurely born infants.

Chromatin architectural proteins

The accessibility of eukaryotic DNA is dependent upon the hierarchical level of chromatin organization. These include (1) intra-nucleosome interactions, (2) inter-nucleosome interactions and (3) the influence of non-histone chromatin architectural proteins. There appears to be interplay between all these levels, in that one level can override another or that two or more can act in concert. In the first level, the stability of the nucleosome itself is dependent on the number and type of contacts between the core histones and the surrounding DNA, as well as protein–protein interactions within the core histone octamer. Core histone variants, post-translational modifications of the histones, and linker histones binding to the DNA all influence the organization and stability of the nucleosome. When nucleosomes are placed end-to-end in linear chromatin arrays, the second level of organization is revealed. The amino terminal tails of the histone proteins make contacts with adjacent and distant nucleosomes, both within the fiber and between different fibers. The third level of organization is imposed upon these ‘intrinsic’ constraints, and is due to the influence of chromatin binding proteins that alter the architecture of the underlying fiber. These chromatin architectural proteins can, in some cases, bypass intrinsic constraints and impart their own topological affects, resulting in truly unique, supra-molecular assemblages that undoubtedly influence the accessibility of the underlying DNA. In this review we will provide a brief summary of what has been learned about the intrinsic dynamics of chromatin fibers, and survey the biology and architectural affects of the handful of chromatin architectural proteins that have been identified and characterized. These proteins are likely only a small subset of the architectural proteins encoded within the eukaryotic genome. We hope that an increased understanding and appreciation of the contribution of these proteins to genome accessibility will hasten the identification and characterization of more of these important regulatory factors.
