    Notizen: Abstract A λZAPII cDNA library ofEchinococcus granulosus larvae was expressed inEscherichia coli SURE cells. Screening of the library with a rabbit antiserum raised against total larval antigen yielded several immunoreactive clones. For analysis of the nucleotide sequence, in vivo excision into pBlueskript was carried out and the 3′ end of the cloned insert was sequenced. Three of these clones exhibited identical nucleotide sequences, suggesting expression of identical genes. The complete nucleotide sequence of the largest clone, EG36, with a 3.4-kb insert was determined, presenting an open reading frame of 2.59 kb. The predicted amino acid sequence showed 71.4% identity to theSchistosoma mansoni paramyosin and a significant homology to a 17 amino-acid peptide sequence from antigen B ofTaenia solium. From these data we conclude that EG36 is the paramyosin ofE. granulosus. For protein purification, the coding sequence of the cDNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and ligated in frame into the expression vector pGEX-3X. Affinity-chromatography-purified GST fusion protein was used to induce a polyclonal rabbit antiserum. Immunoblot analysis revealed the expression of a 97-kDa protein by theE. coli clone and that of a protein with a similar molecular weight in protoscolices fromE. granulosus andE. multilocularis as well as inE. granulosus cyst fluid. Immunofluorescence studies showed that EG36 was localized throughout the tegument ofE. granulosus andE. multilocularis larvae. Sera from patients suffering from echinococcosis, schistosomiasis, and neurocysticercosis reacted with the purified fusion protein when tested in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

    Notizen: Abstract: Poly-α-2,8-N-acetylneuraminic acid (poly-α-2,8-NeuAc) is developmentally expressed in neural tissue of higher animals, where it is covalently attached to the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), a large integral membrane glycoprotein mediating cell-cell adhesion during neuronal development. NCAM exists in several molecular forms, of which only embryonic NCAM carries lengthy chains (n 〉 5) of poly-α-2,8-NeuAc. Chemically identical poly-α-2,8-NeuAc of bacterial origin is an important virulence factor in infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis group B and Escherichia coli K1, the predominant pathogens of bacterial meningitis. A quantitative enzyme-linked immunoassay was developed using monoclonal antibody (MAb) 735, an MAb specifically recognizing poly-α-2,8-NeuAc, and applied to CSF specimens from younger children. Poly-α-2,8-NeuAc contents were within the range of 20-0.2 μg/ml, decreasing from day 1 to day 300. Immunoprecipitation, immunoblot with a rabbit anti-mouse NCAM serum recognizing the protein part of human NCAM by cross-reactivity, affinity enrichment using immobilized MAb 735, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that poly-α-2,8-NeuAc in CSF is bound to human NCAM, probably NCAM-120.

    Notizen: For accurate and reliable EEG recording. electrode resistances must be kept relatively low and constant. To ensure that these conditions are met, a fixing agent, collodian, is usually used to fix the electrodes firmly to the scalp. Collodian, however, produces many unwanted side effects. A “double-cllar” method of electrode placement is described whereby electrodes may be firmly fixed to the scalp without the use of collodian. This technique is both faster and less troublesome than the use of collodian. Using this technique, electrode resistances at vertex and occiput were well below generally acceptable criteria (averaging under 5000 ohms) and there was no significant increase in resistance at either placement following nearly 2 hrs of continuous EEG recordings. It is concluded that, under certain laboratory conditions, the “double-collar” method of electrode preparation and placement is superior to the use of collodian.

    Notizen: Abstract The CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-NeuNAc) synthetase gene of Neisseria meningitidis group B is located on a 2.3-kb EcoRI fragment within the cps gene cluster. Nucleotide sequence determination of the gene encoding the CMP-NeuNAc synthetase revealed a 515-bp open reading frame that can encode a 18.9-kDA protein. A computer data base scan revealed a 59.4% identity to the CMP-NeuNAc synthetase gene of E. coli K1. Enzymatic activity was confirmed in vitro and in vivo. Transformation of the CMP-NeuNAc defective E. coli K1 strain EV5 with the meningococcal CMP-NeuNAc synthetase could complement the defect in E. coli.

    Notizen: The topical application to human skin of a 1:1 aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide in a well drilled into a plastic block will provoke an infra-epidermal blister in an average time of about 13 min.The blister roof can be used for physico-chemical analyses of the horny layer while the base is suitable for studies of wound healing, bacterial infections, etc.The minimal blistering time (MBT) increases directly as the number of cell layers of the stratum corneum and ranges from 3 to 57 min in different regions and persons. The intensity of the dermatitis provoked by a 24 h exposure to sodium lauryl sulphate is strongly correlated with the MBT. The latter is therefore a reliable measure of cutaneous irritability.The blisters are virtually painless. The inflammatory reaction clinically and histologically is slight. Healing is rapid without scarring.

    Notizen: Lipopolysaccharide is an essential component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and an important virulence factor of many pathogens, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae. We have cloned the gonococcal galE gene which was found to be located in the gonococcal homologue of the meningococcal capsule gene complex region D. Sequence alignment indicated extensive homology with the Escherichia coli and Salmonella GalE proteins. Mutants with insertions in the galE gene were used as a tool to characterize the structure and function of gonococcal lipopolysaccharide. They displayed deep rough phenotypes, and chemical analysis confirmed the loss of galactose from the mutant lipopolysaccharide. Functional analysis indicated that the terminal oligosaccharides contain galactose and that these are lost in galE mutants. The importance of these oligosaccharides in gonococcal biology is clear from the fact that they contain the epitopes that are the targets for killing by normal human serum, and the acceptor site for sialic acid, which acts to protect the gonococcus from this killing. Furthermore, infection experiments in vitro indicate that the galE mutants exhibit unaltered intergonococcal adhesion as well as adhesion to, and invasion of, epithelial cells.

    Notizen: Within the capsule gene complex (cps) of Neisseria meningitidis two functional regions B and C are involved in surface translocation of the cytoplasmically synthesized capsular polysaccharide, which is a homopolymer of α-2,8 polyneuraminic acid. The region-C gene products share characteristics with transporter proteins of the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) superfamily of active transporters. For analysis of the role of region B in surface translocation of the capsular polysaccharide we purified the polysaccharides of region B- and region C-defective Escherichia coli clones by affinity chromatography. The molecular weights of the polysaccharides were determined by gel filtration and the polysaccharides were analysed for phospholipid substitution by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. The results indicate that the full-size capsular polysaccharide with a phospholipid anchor is synthesized intracellularly and that lipid modification is a strong requirement for translocation of the poly saccharide to the cell surface. Proteins encoded by region B are involved in phospholipid substitution of the capsular polysaccharide. Nucleotide sequence analysis of region B revealed two open reading frames, which encode proteins with molecular masses of 45.1 and 48.7 kDa.

    Notizen: Capsule-deficient mutants of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B strain B 1940 were constructed by allelic replacement using the plasmids pMF120 and pMF121, which contain the flanking regions of the gene locus for the biosynthesis pathway of the group B meningococcal capsular polysaccharide. Southern blot analysis of chromosomal DNA of the capsule-deficient meningococcal strains confirmed the generation of large deletions in the chromosomal cps gene complex. The same strategy proved useful in constructing meningococcal strains with capsular types A, C., W 135, Y and Z.
