    Notes: Abstract In order to understand further the effects of Newcastle-disease-virus(NDV)-modified tumour vaccines we investigated the feasibility of isolating lymphocytes from the site of injection of patients undergoing postoperative active specific immunization (ASI) with autologous NDV-modified tumour cells. Delayed-type-hypersensitivity(DTH)-like reactions from five cancer patients were surgically removed, minced and the tissue particles were digested with collagenase and DNase. Lymphoid cells recovered were expanded in a highly efficient limiting-dilution analysis system optimized for T cell growth [Moretta et al. (1983) J Exp Med 157: 743] and lymphocyte microcultures (clonal probability 〉0.8) could be grown for up to 1 year. Analysis of the microcultures for phenotype and function showed that the majority were positive for CD4 (92%) and TCRαβ (96%). Concanavalin-A-induced production of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-6, interferon γ and tumour necrosis factor α was detected in more than 70% of the microcultures. Lectin-dependent cytotoxicity was only very rarely observed. The general characteristics of the microcultures obtained support the notion of a DTH-like reaction taking place at the site of tumour cell challenge. The possibility of in vitro expansion and cultivation of T lymphocytes from ASI vaccination sites should help to elucidate further the role of these cells in active specific immunization against autologous tumour cells.

    Notes: Extracts from brown seaweeds could possibly be fermented to ethanol, particularly seaweeds harvested in the autumn, which contain high levels of easily extractable laminaran and mannitol. Few microorganisms are able to utilise mannitol as a substrate for ethanol production and Zymobacter palmae was tested for this purpose. Bacterial growth as well as ethanol yield depended on the amount of oxygen present. Strictly anaerobic growth on mannitol was not observed. At excessive aeration, a change in the fermentation pattern was observed with high production of acetate and propionate. Under oxygen-limiting conditions, the bacteria grew and produced ethanol in a synthetic mannitol medium with a yield of 0.38 g ethanol (g mannitol)−1. Z. palmae was also successfully applied for fermentation of mannitol from Laminaria hyperborea extracts. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2000) 24, 51–57.

    Notes: Abstract: We present susceptibility, microwave resistivity, NMR and heat-capacity results for Li1-xZnx(V1-yTiy)2O4 with 0 ? x ? 0.3 and 0 ? y ? 0.3. For all doping levels the susceptibility curves can be fitted with a Curie-Weiss law. The paramagnetic Curie-Weiss temperatures remain negative with an average value close to that of the pure compound Θ≈ - 36 K. Spin-glass anomalies are observed in the susceptibility, heat-capacity and NMR measurements for both type of dopants. From the temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate we found critical-dynamic behavior in the Zn doped compounds at the freezing temperatures. For the Ti-doped samples two successive freezing transitions into disordered low-temperature states can be detected. The temperature dependence of the heat capacity for Zn-doped compounds does not resemble that of canonical spin glasses and only a small fraction of the total vanadium entropy is frozen at the spin-glass transitions. For pure LiV2O4 the spin-glass transition is completely suppressed. The temperature dependence of the heat capacity for LiV2O4 can be described using a nuclear Schottky contribution and the non-Fermi liquid model, appropriate for a system close to a spin-glass quantum critical point. Finally an ( x / y , T )-phase diagram for the low-doping regime is presented.
