    Notes: Twenty-one patients suffering from the premenstrual syndrome were each studied during three menstrual cycles. After a control cycle, bromocriptine and placebo were given during the luteal phase of the cycle in a random double-blind cross-over manner, each patient serving as her own control. The dosage of bromocriptine was 2·5 mg twice daily. Serum prolactin levels were found to be equal during the follicular and luteal phases, except when reduced by bromocriptine. Serum progesterone and oestradiol-17-β were within normal ranges, and did not change during treatment. Medication considerably improved all the premenstrual symptoms, but mastodynia was the only one where bromocriptine was significantly better than the placebo.

    Notes: MPB 70 is a protein found in large quantities in the culture filtrate (CF) of the Tokyo and some other strains of Mycobacterium bovis BCG, and it has a remarkable degree of specificity for these strains. We estimated the molecular weight of MPB 70 to 22,000 by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting showed that MPB 70 was present in high quantities in CF from BCG Tokyo, that it could be also demonstrated in BCG Copenhagen, and that it was absent in CF from M. tuberculosis H37Rv. When the purified MPB 70 preparation used in the present study was run in SDS-PAGE, blotted and stained with a polyclonal rabbit or a monoclonal mouse anti-MPB 70 antibody, several bands in addition to the main 22 kDa band were seen, indicating a tendency of the MPB 70 molecules and/or fragments thereof to form very stable aggregates with themselves. The biological activity of MPB 70 was studied in groups of guinea pigs sensitized with live BCG of the Tokyo and Copenhagen strains, Guinea pigs from both groups developed reactivity to tuberculin PPD as assessed by skin tests and lymphocyte stimulation tests with peripheral blood or lymph node lymphocytes. In addition, a strong and persistent reactivity to MPB 70 was demonstrated in the BCG Tokyo group with both methods. Guinea pigs sensitized with the Copenhagen strain were only weakly reactive to MPB 70. Skin reactions in guinea pigs that had been repeatedly tested with MPB 70 and tuberculin were compared with reactions in animals tested only once. Reactions to MPB 70 in BCG Tokyo sensitized guinea pigs were suppressed by repeated tests, whereas tuberculin reactions were boosted by the interim tests. The levels of specific anti-MPB 70 antibodies were higher in BCG Tokyo- than in BCG Copenhagensensitized guinea pigs. MPB 70 has a high degree of specificity and is a strongly immunogenic protein, which may prove useful in studies of mycobacterial immunology.

    Notes: We have examined the immunological activity of five affinity-purified protein antigens from Mycobacterium tuberculosis in seven inbred and one outbred guinea pig strains. The test systems were measurements of delayed-type hypersensitivity (Dth) responses, lymphocyte stimulation assays (LS), and antibody response measurements. The results showed significant differences in the immunogenicity of the single-protein antigens and, when the antigens were considered separately, highly significant guinea pig strain differences The outbred guinea pig strain behaved as a Dth high responder to all antigens studied. The order of magnitude of the Dth responses was not usually correlated with that of the corresponding antibody responses for the individual guinea pig strain-antigen combinations. In particular, when compared with the other strains, strain 2 guinea pigs generally gave the lowest Dth, but the highest antibody responses.A 38,000 molecular weight protein, possessing M. tuberculosis complex-specific B-cell determinants, appeared immunodominant in 5 out of 7 strains. Our Dlh data in the inbred strains further suggest the presence of an M. turberculosis-specific- T-cell epitope. A T-cell line, 11D9, derived from the high-responder guinea pig strain 13 reactive to this prolein, was shown to be able to confer a tuberculin-like skin reaction in vivo. LS assays with recombinant 38-kDa protein and truncated versions of the protein mapped the 1lD9-defined T-cell epitope to the middle parl of the molecule.

    Notes: It was attempted to isolate antigens from Treponema Reiter, relevant to syphilis serology, by immunoadsorption with patients' antibodies coupled to CNBr-Sepharose 4B. One antigen was desorbed by 2 m KSCN in 0.05 m Tris barbital buffer, pH 8.6. The recovery was 3% and 7% in two experiments. A small amount of human antibodies in the isolate was removed on an immunoadsorbant column with insolubilized rabbit antibodies against normal human serum proteins. The antigen thus obtained was immunologically pure when analysed by crossed immunoelectrophoresis. By electron microscopy of immunoprecipitates and by tandem crossed immunoelectrophoresis it was shown that the antigen differed from the flagellar antigen of T. Reiter, but was identical to antigen d previously described in T. Reiter, Antigen d could also be isolated from supernatant of T. Reiter cultures, The d antigen was not denatured at pH 2.8, by 8 m urea or by 3 m KSCN, and it resisted heating to 100°C for 30 min. No protein could be detected in a concentrated preparation, and the antigen might be B polysaccharide. Antigen d is probably present in the sorbent used in the fluorescence treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) test and may constitute the active substance of this reagent.

    Notes: We have developed monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) reactive with a protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis of apparent molecular mass 24 kDa, This protein was shown lo he identical with MPB M (Harboe et al., [1]), The MoAb bound to four different epitopes of which two were restricted to the tuberculosis complex” and two were also found in mycobacteria not belonging to the “tuberculosis complex”, The cross-reactive MoAb demonstrate that MPB M is present in more mycobacterial species than previously assumed. MPB 64 was show n lo induce strong delayed type hypersensitivity (Dth) reactions in out bred guinea pigs immunized with M tuberculosis and M. hovis bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), No reaction was observed m animals immunized with mycobacteria not belonging to the “tuberculosis complex”, The Dth-inducing capacity of MPB 64 was compared with that of another 24 kDa protein purified from W. merciless and of the previously described 38 kDa protein. The Dth responses lo these three antigens were further analysed in four inbred guinea pig strains. A genetic restriction of the ability of the animals to respond to MPB 64 as well as to the 38 kDa protein was observed.

    Notes: Human thymic epithelial cells (TEC) of medullary phenotype were cultured for 14 days in a growth factor-defined scrum-free medium. The effects of added growth factors on cell numbers and the production of cytokines were investigated by separate exclusion of the various growth factors from the medium. We found that hydrocortisone stimulated cell proliferation but inhibited the differentiation of TEC and significantly reduced the production of interleukin-lα, interleukin-6 and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor. Insulin was found to enhance the differentiation of TEC and the production of the three cytokines. Transfcrrin and choleratoxin were found to inhibit cell proliferation, but they did not affect produetion of the cytokines. Exclusion of epidermal growth factor, however, leads to cell death. We conclude that it is essential to exclude hydrocortisone from the medium to optimize production of cytokines, and that transferrin and choleratoxin seem to be unnecessary constituents in serum-free cultures of human TEC.

    Notes: Nine monoclonal antibodies were raised against purified protein derivative (PPD) of tuberculin in mice previously treated with Bacilli Calmette Guérin (BCG). The antibodies also reacted with a culture filtrate from Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv. In immunobtotting after SDS-PAGE the reaction with PPD was seen as a diffuse smear, whereas ammonium sulphate-precipitated proteins from H37Rv gave well-defined bands ranging from 10 to 65kDa. Enzyme immunoassay showed that both PPD and H37Rv antigens were able to inhibit binding of the antibodies to PPD coated microtitre wells, suggesting that the antibodies reacted with continuous epitopes. A 12kDa protein purified by immunoaffinity chromatography from H37Rv antigens was tested intradermally in M. tuberculosis MNC3 sensitized guinea pigs and gave a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction.
