    Notes: Summary Monoclonal antibodies (MRC OX-6 and OX-17) recognized three types of cells expressing Ia antigen during the course of acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in rats. In earlier stages of the disease, in animals with or without paralysis, Ia antigens were mostly localized to subarachnoidal and perivascular lymphocytic and histiocytic cell infiltrates, possibly serving as antigen-presenting cells. On the other hand, in convalescent rats, Ia antigens were expressed in a large number of cells with dendritic processes heavily populating the spinal gray matter. The appearance of these Ia-expressing cells in the convalescent stage coincided with the development of degenerating axon terminals in the spinal gray matter. These Ia-expressing cells possessed morphological features characteristic of microglia and were positive for ML-1 lectin but did not express glial fibrillary acidic protein. Immune electron microscopy disclosed the presence of Ia reaction products in the Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane of these cells with dendritic processes, indicating active synthesis of Ia molecules in microglia. In addition, Ia antigens were localized to the cells with ultrastructural features of macrophages. Thus, Ia-expressing cells in EAE seems to play dual roles: the induction of immunological reactions during earlier stages and the participation in reparative processes during convalescence.

    Notes: Summary To clarify the implication of the major histocompatibility complex class II (Ia) antigen induction in microglia following Wallerian degeneration in the central nervous system (CNS), experimental allergic encephalitis (EAE) was adoptively transferred to Lewis rats in which Ia antigens had been induced in microglia at the sites of Wallerian degeneration. In addition to randomly distributed typical EAE lesions, the recipient rats developed distinct inflammatory lesions in accord with the distribution of Ia-positive microglia; i.e., in the ipsilateral thalamus after cortical cryoinjury, and in the ipsilateral optic nerve, the contralateral optic tract and superior colliculus after unilateral eye ball enucleation. Thus, the EAE locus may be targeted by this approach. The inflammatory response was inducible by transfer of myelin basic protein-stimulated lymphocytes but not by transfer of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated or non-stimulated lymphocytes. When examined using monoclonal antibody surface markers; OX-6 for Ia antigen, W3/13 for pan T lymphocyte and OX-8 for cytotoxic/suppresser T lymphocyte, the types of lymphocytes in these lesions did not differ from those in ordinary EAE lesions in the spinal cord. The potential role of non-immunologically induced Ia-positive cell clusters that serve as a target for autoimmune CNS diseases was discussed.

    Notes: Summary The cytotropism of two strains, GDVII and DA, of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis viruses (TMEV) was studied in the oligodendrocyte-enriched murine neural cell cultures. Both GDVII and DA caused cytopathic effects in the neural cell cultures, and double immunostaining for galactocerebroside (Gal-Cer), a marker molecule for oligodendrocyte, and viral antigens disclosed a dual expression of Gal-Cer and viral antigens in over 80% of cells in both cultures 24h after infection with either GDVII or DA. The kinetics of cell-free and cell-associated infectivity were not significantly different between two cultures. These in vitro observations suggest that neither replication in oligodendrocyte nor cell-associated infectivity is a sole factor in discriminating those two subgroups of TMEV with regard to the demyelinating activity, and that virus cell binding may play an important role in virus persistence and TMEV-induced demyelination.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Кинетики метанирования CO и CO2 значительно различаются в промежуточном состоянии. Гидрирование поверхностных углеродных частиц сильно ингибировано CO, обратимо адсорбированным в реакции метанирования, а CO2 не ингибирует последнюю реакцию и H2O образуется на двух различных ступенях.
    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of methanation of CO and CO2 were markedly different in the transient state. The hydrogenation of surface carbon species was strongly inhibited by reversibly adsorbed CO in the former reaction. CO2 did not inhibit the latter reaction and H2O was found to form by two distinct steps.
