    Notes: Abstract Erythrocyte membrane glycolipids from blood type A and type B cats were examined by thin layer chromatography. The results indicate that the major erythrocyte membrane glycolipid of type A cats is NeuGc-NeuGc-Galactose-Glucose-Ceramide ([NeuGc]2GD3), where NeuAc represents N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid. In contrast, the major erythrocyte membrane glycolipid of type B cats is NeuAc-NeuAc-Galactose-Glucose-Ceramide ([NeuAc]2GD3), where NeuAc represents N-acetylneuraminic acid. These major erythrocyte membrane glycolipids may be the blood group antigens for type A and type B cats, respectively. All type A cats may have enzymes to synthesise erythrocyte membrane glycolipids with terminal NeuAc, whereas type B cats may lack the gene for N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase, the enzyme that converts NeuAc into NeuGc.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of monopolar and bipolar diathermy were studied in laboratory animals. The power required to coagulate transected vessels in air was established and the effect of immersion in saline and water during electrocoagulation was investigated. Tissue heat conduction from each type of probe was measured and compared. Tissue damage was assessed by light microscopy of histochemically stained sections. The bipolar system operated at a lower power output (13 W) with less heat conduction, and was unaffected by the surrounding medium.

    Notes: The specific monoclonal antibody productivity (qMab) of a murine hybridoma (CC9C10) increased with incubation temperature in the range 33°C to 39°C. qMab was constant at each temperature and was independent of the phase of culture. The qMab increased 97% at 39°C and decreased by 21% at 33°C compared with controls at 37°C. Specific rates of substrate (glucose and glutamine) utilization and byproduct (lactate and ammonia) formation also increased with temperature but the yield coefficient, YLac/Llc' was constant for 33°C to 39°C and YAmm/Gin was constant for 37°C to 39°C. YAmm/Gin at 33°C was lower than the control. Changes in specific nucleotide concentrations and ratios were monitored by analysis of intracellular nucleotide pools. The NTP ratio, (ATP + GTP)/(UTP + CTP), increased and the U-ratio (UTP/UDP-GNac) decreased during the course of each culture, whereas the adenylate energy charge, (ATP + 0.5ADP)/(ATP + ADP + AMP), remained relatively constant at a value 0.8. The relative content of UDP-/N acetyl galactosamine, UDP-N acetyl glucosamine, and NAD increased with incubation temperature, whereas the relative ATP content, SA(ATP + ADP + AMP)/SU (UTP + UDP-sugars) ratio, purine/pyrimidine, ATP/GTP, and U-ratio decreased at higher incubation temperatures. It is possible that these nucleotide parameters may have a regulatory role in the changes of qMab observed at the higher temperatures. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The rates of cell attachment of the anchorage-dependent mammalian cell line Vero to the gelatin-based macroporous microcarrier Cultispher-G were determined under various conditions. An optimal rate of attachment (0.98 × 10-2 min-1) occurred by an intermittent stirring regimen of 3 min stirring at 40 rpm per 33 min. This stirring regimen appeared to maximize cell-to-bead attachment and minimized cell aggregation which occurred at a broadly comparable rate.A further increase in the rate of cell-to-bead attachment occurred by preincubation of the microcarriers in serum-supplemented medium prior to cell inoculation in a serum-free medium. However, serum supplementation (〉5%) was required for maximal cell growth. The pH of the medium had little effect on cell attachment over a broad range (pH 7.1-8.0). An initial cell/bead inoculum of 30 ensured an even distribution of cells on the available microcarriers with a low proportion of unoccupied beads.The rate of cell attachment to Cultispher-G was an order of magnitude lower than the determined value for the charged dextran microcarrier Cytodex-1, which was measured as 9.05 × 10-2 min-1. The optimal conditions for cell attachment were significantly different for the two bead types. Cell attachment to the electrostatic surface of the Cytodex-1 microcarriers was highly dependent on pH and serum supplementation. Cell aggregation during attachment to the Cytodex-1 microcarriers was minimal because of the higher rate of cell-microcarrier attachment.The porous nature of the Cultispher-G microcarriers allowed a maximum cell/bead loading of 〉1400, which was at least 3 times higher than equivalent loading of the cells on Cytodex-1. The Cultispher-G matrix also allowed the use of higher agitation rates (up to 100 rpm) in spinner flasks without affecting the cell growth rate or maximum cell density. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The murine B-lymphocyte hybridoma, CC9C10 was grown at steady state under serum-free conditions in continuous culture at dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in the range of 10% to 150% of air saturation. Cells could be maintained with this range at high viability in a steady state at a dilution rate of 1 d-1, although with lower cell concentrations at higher DO. A higher specific antibody production measured at higher DO was matched by a decrease in the viable cell concentration at steady state, so that the volumetric antibody titre was not changed significantly. An attempt to grow cells at 250% of air saturation was unsuccessful but the cells recovered to normal growth once the DO was decreased.There was a requirement for cellular adaptation at each step-wise increase in dissolved oxygen. Adaptation to a DO of 100% was associated with an increase in the specific activities of glutathione peroxidase (×18), glutathione S-transferase (×11) and superoxide dismutase (×6) which are all known antioxidant enzymes. At DO above 100%, the activities of GPX and GST decreased possibly as a result of inactivation by reactive oxygen radicals.The increase in dissolved oxygen concentration caused changes in energy metabolism. The specific rate of glucose uptake increased at higher dissolved oxygen concentrations with a higher proportion of glucose metabolized anaerobically. Short-term radioactive assays showed that the relative flux of glucose through glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway increased whereas the flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle decreased at high DO. Although the specific glutamine utilization rate increased at higher DO, there was no evidence for a change in the pattern of metabolism. This indicates a possible blockage of glycolytic metabolites into the TCA cycle, and is compatible with a previous suggestion that pyruvate dehydrogenase is inhibited by high oxygen concentrations.Analysis of the oxygen uptake rate of cell suspensions at steady state under all conditions showed a pronounced Crabtree effect which was manifest by a decrease (up to 40%) in oxygen consumption on addition of glucose. This indicates that the degree of aerobic metabolism in these cultures is highly sensitive to the glucose concentration. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 54: 153-164, 1997.
