    Notes: Summary To establish a reliable procedure for the early detection of central nervous system involvement in HIV infection, paired cerebrospinal fluid and serum samples of 59 patients were analysed. Fifteen were HIV antibody positive without clinical symptoms (stage I), 12 had lymphadenopathy syndrome or AIDS-related complex (stage II), and 32 had AIDS (stage III). Intrathecal synthesis of HIV antibodies was determined by a modified ELISA. Antibodies in CSF and serum were evaluated at identical immunoglobulin G levels to correct for the actual blood-CSF-barrier permeability. A CSF/serum quotient above 1.5 is indicative of intrathecal antibody synthesis, which was found in 47% of the patients in stage I, 67% in stage II, and 84% in stage III. These findings indicate an early and frequent invasion of the CNS.

    Notes: Summary We have identified a cDNA coding for the murine keratin D from a collection of clones representing F9 teratocarcinoma stem cell mRNA sequences. These sequences are synthesized specifically after the addition of retinoic acid and cAMP to the culture medium. The clone is 1,382 nucleotides long and contains the entire information for the active polypeptide, the complete 3′ end and most, if not all, of the 5′ non-coding region. The mRNA is found in hepatocytes, in PYS-2 cells (an endodermal cell line) and in differentiated (retinoic-acid-treated) F9 cells, but not in untreated F9 cells. The length of the mRNA is 1.4 kb, as estimated by Northern blot hybridization. Southern hybridization performed under very stringent conditions detects a single fragment hybridizing strongly with the cloned cDNA, suggesting that the mouse genome contains only one or very few copies of this gene. We present the first complete sequence of a keratin expressed in simple epithelia, i.e. keratin D, and discuss its structural features.
