    Notes: Summary In order to study the distribution of neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity in the human hypothalamus, an immunocytochemical localization of this peptide was performed. Using antibodies developed against synthetic porcine neuropeptide Y (NPY), we have been able to localize immunoreactivity in neuronal cell bodies located exclusively in the infundibular nucleus. Immunostained fibers were found in several regions in the hypothalamus with a high concentration in the periventricular areas. Fibers were also found in the neurovascular zone of the median eminence, the pituitary stalk and the posterior pituitary. These results suggest that immunoreactive material related to porcine NPY is present in the human hypothalamus, with a distribution similar to that observed in the rat.

    Notes: Summary The distribution of growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF)-like immunoreactivity in the human hypothalamus was studied by light-microscopic immunocytochemistry. With antibodies that we developed against synthetic human pancreatic GRF (hpGRF), we localized GRF immunoreactivity in neuronal cell bodies that were observed only in the infundibular (arcuate) nucleus. Immunostained nerve fibers were found in large numbers in the neurovascular zone of the median eminence, in the proximal portion of the pituitary stalk and in periventricular areas. These localizations are in agreement with those of studies recently performed in other species and strongly suggest that GRF can be released into the capillaries of the pituitary portal plexus to reach the anterior pituitary gland. The projections of GRF neurons in extra-infundibular regions suggest that GRF can also act as a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter in the hypothalamus.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des bioessais en laboratoire ont été effectués afin de déterminer si les larves de la coccinelle maculée,Coleomegilla maculata lengi Timberlake (Col.: Coccinellidae), sont affectées par M-One™, un insecticide biologique préparé à partir de la bactérieBacillus thuringiensis var.san diego Berliner et utilisé dans la lutte contre le doryphore de la pomme de terre,Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Col.: Chrysomelidae). Le développement larvaire, effectué sur du pollen traité avec des concentrations de 20 ml M-One™/litre (5,6×108 unités internationales de doryphore/litre) et 200 ml M-One™/litre, a nécessité 29,3 et 38,5 jours respectivement, comparativement à 21,9 jours pour le témoin (eau). M-One™ n'a pas causé de mortalité chez les larves. Au cours d'un test de 48 h, les larves de stade III n'ont montré aucune préférence entre des œufs traités avec 20 ml M-One™/litre et des œufs traités avec de l'eau. Par contre avec 200 ml M-One™/litre, le nombre d'œufs attaqués a diminué significativement de 34,7% par rapport au témoin, 48 h après le début du test. Ces résultats indiquent que l'utilisation de M-One™ à la concentration recommandée de 20 ml/litre ne représente pas une menace pour les populations larvaires de la coccinelle maculée.
    Notes: Abstract Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of M-One™ (Bacillus thuringiensis var.san diego) on larval instars ofColeomegilla maculata lengi Timberlake. Coccinellid larval development (from egg hatch to adult), completed on pollen treated with suspensions of M-One™ at 20 ml/litre (5.6×108 CPBIU/litre) and 200 ml/litre, took respectively 29.3 and 38.5 days compared with 21.9 days for the control (water). M-One™ did not cause larval mortality.C. maculata third instars did not show any preference between eggs ofLeptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) treated with water or with M-One™ at 20 ml/litre. However, at 200 ml M-One™/litre, the number of eggs attacked was 34.7% lower than the eggs treated with water only, 48 h after the beginning of the test. These results indicate that the use of M-One™, at the manufacturer's recommended field rate of 20 ml/litre, does not cause a major threat to larvalC. maculata populations.

    Improvement of recombinant protein production with the human adenovirus/293S expression system using fed-batch strategies (1996)

    Notes: The human adenovirus/293S cell expression system is used for the production of either recombinant protein or adenovirus vectors for use in gene therapy. In this work, the production of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP1C) was used as a model for the scale-up of both applications. Maximum specific production of 30 to 45 μg of active protein/106 cells was maintained upon infection with adenovirus vectors at cell densities between 2 × 106 to 3 × 106 cells/mL in a 3.5-L bioreactor. This was achieved by resuspending the culture in fresh medium at infection time. The pH was kept at 7.0 throughout the experiment and, at 24 h postinfection, glucose and essential amino acids were added. Attempts to replace the complete change of medium at the time of infection with nutrient supplementation of the used medium led to lower production levels, suggesting that protein expression was limited not by the absence of a key nutrient but by inhibitory factors. Two potentially inhibitory factors were investigated: lactic acid accumulation and increased osmolarity. Medium acidification such as that which would be brought about by lactic acid accumulation was shown to depress PTP1C production. The lactate molecule itself decreased the cell viability when added in concentrations of 20 mM or more. But the specific productivity was affected at higher lactate concentrations of 40 mM or more. Additions of glucose, amino acids, and NaHCO3 used to control pH, led to increases in osmolarity. Osmolarities above 400 mOsm lowered cell density. However, specific production was not significantly affected below 500 mOsm. But, at 500 mOsm, PTP1C production peak was shifted from 48 to 72 hpi. Because of the cell loss, this per cell yield increase did not translate into higher volumetric production. When glucose concentrations was kept at 5 mM by fed-batch addition, lactate production and increases in osmolarity were reduced. In shake flasks, this method permitted maximum production with cells resuspended either in fresh or spent medium at infection. This fed-batch process was implemented successfully at the 3.5-L scale. Fed-batch with glucose may provide a means to increase infected-cell density beyond 3 × 106 cells/mL.

    Notes: Graessley's theory of entanglement was applied to several model distributions. The distribution functions chosen were such that the differential weight distributions were triangular with respect to a log molecular weight axis. The molecular weight level, breadth of the molecular weight distribution, skewness, and blending of simple distributions were studied in their effect on the steady-state flow curve. The governing factor for the shape of the reduced flow curve was shown to be M̄z+1·M̄z/M̄w2. Other general features of the flow curve predicted by Graessley's theory were discussed.
