    Notes: Abstract ATPase was detected in the membranes of a motile Streptococcus. Maximal enzymic activity was observed at pH 8 and ATP/Mg2+ ratio of 2. Mn2+ and Ca2+ could replace Mg2+ to some extent. Besides ATP, GTP and ITP were substrates. The enzyme was inhibited by N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide but not by sodium azide, uncouplers or bathophenanthroline. An electrochemical gradient of protons, which was artificially imposed across the membranes of Streptococcus cells by manipulation of either the K+ diffusion potential or the transmembrane pH gradient, led to ATP synthesis. ATP synthesis was abolished by proton conductors, an inhibitor of the ATPase or an increase in the extracellular K+ concentration. A comparison between the phosphate potential and the electrochemical proton gradient showed that the data found are in agreement with a stoichiometry of 2 protons translocated per molecule ATP synthesized.

    Notes: Abstract Balb/c mice were infected intraperitoneally with protoscoleces ofEchinococcus granulosus. After 15 months of infection, and by means of flow cytometry, the expression of T-cell markers CD3, CD4, and CDS on T cells from peripheral blood, spleen, and thymus was analyzed and compared with that of age-matched controls. Infected mice had higher percentages of CD3+, and CD4+ cells in peripheral blood, and higher percentages of CD8+ cells in the spleen, when compared with control mice. CD4+ and CD8+ cells in peripheral blood and CD8+ cells in thymus also showed higher percentages of expression of interleukin-2 receptor. The results infer a role for interleukin-2 in experimental secondary echinococcosis.
