    Notes: Summary Anti-B cell auto-immunity may play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes in mice resulting from multiple subdiabetogenic doses of the pancreatic B cell toxin, streptozotocin. In the present study we have investigated the cytotoxic anti-B cell response in these mice. A major role for B lymphocytes, macrophages, or their products in the cytotoxic response originally detected in vitro was eliminated by passing splenocytes from the mice treated with multiple subdiabetogenic doses of streptozotocin over a nylon wool column. The removal of the adherent cells enhanced the cytotoxicity against a rat insulinoma cell line in vitro by that expected due to enrichment of T-lymphocytes by approximately twofold. The induction of diabetes after multiple subdiabetogenic doses of streptozotocin is strain dependent. Mice of five strains were immunized with rat insulinoma cells, but only splenocytes from the two strains susceptible to multiple subdiabetogenic doses of streptozotocin demonstrated a significant cytotoxic response against the rat insulinoma cells in vitro. Mice pre-immunized with either the rat insulinoma cells or with syngeneic islets labelled in vitro with the hapten trinitrophenol developed hyperglycaemia more rapidly than control mice after multiple subdiabetogenic doses of streptozotocin. In the latter experiment the control mice immunized with complete Freund's adjuvant alone also became hyperglycaemic after a modified multiple subdiabetogenic dose of streptozotocin that did not cause diabetes in non-immunized mice. In mice pre-treated with either adjuvant or cyclophosphamide and then given a modified multiple subdiabetogenic dose of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg × 5 rather than 40 mg/ kg) the degree of hyperglycaemia was reduced and there was no protective effect of cyclophosphamide. However, the mice pre-treated with adjuvant again developed hyperglycaemia more rapidly and to a much higher level than did the mice given multiple subdiabetogenic doses of streptozotocin only. These additional data further support the hypothesis that B-cell destruction after multiple subdiabetogenic doses of streptozotocin results from triggering of an immune response against these insulin-producing cells.

    Notes: Cluster ions from fast atom bombardment of liquid alcohols and nitriles were examined using a continuous-flow technique. Protonated molecular MnH+ species are the dominant cluster ions observed in molecules of formula M. The abundances of the MnH+ cluster ions decrease monotonically with increasing n, and within a homologous series the MnH+ abundance diminishes more rapidly for higher molecular mass compounds. Reaction products (ROH)n(H2O)H+ and (ROH)n(ROR)H+ are observed also in the case of alcohols, and the ion abundances decrease with increasing n. Radiation damage yields fragment ions and ionic alkyl reaction products which are captured in solvent clusters. Semi-empirical molecular orbital methods were used to examine the energetics of cluster ion formation and decomposition pathways. Metastable decomposition processes exhibit only evaporative loss of monomers, with the probability of loss increasing sharply with n. The evaporative ensemble model of Klots was used to predict the cluster size-dependent trends of metastable dissociation processes observed for alcohol and nitrile cluster ions.

    Notes: Cluster ions from the continuous-flow fast atom bombardment of several pure, liquid aromatics were examined. Most of the aromatics cluster as (M)n+; however, aromatic bases such as pyridine and aniline also form (M)nH+ ions. The abundance of both (M)n+ and (M)nH+ cluster ions decreases rapidly as n increases. The semi-empirical molecular orbital PM3 method was used to examine energetics of cluster ion formation, binding energies of several aromatic dimer ions and structures of stable cluster ions observed in the desorption process.

    Notes: Doubly charged ion mass spectra of 22 amines (2-10 carbon atoms) were determined using an Hitachi RMU-7L double focusing mass spectrometer. Molecular ions were not observed in the spectra of aliphatic amines. The most intense product ion peaks in the spectra of lower molecular weight amines resulted from hydrogen elimination from the molecular ion; however, as amine molecular weight increased the largest peaks resulted from both hydrogen and heavy atom elimination from the molecular ion. Dominant ions in the doubly charged ion spectra of lower molecular weight aliphatic amines were from reactions of [CnH3N]2+ (n:=2, 3, 4) type ions. The spectra of higher molecular weight aliphatic amines spanned a wide mass range. Appearance energies for some of the more prominent ions were measured in the range from 25 to 49 eV. A geometry optimized quantum mechanical self-consistent field molecular orbital treatment was used to compute the energies and structural parameters of prominent ions in the doubly charged ion mass spectra.

    Notes: Doubly charged ion mass spectra have been obtained for 11 organophosphorus compounds. Methane has been used as a target gas to increase the probability of single electron transfer collisions in the first field-free region of an Hitachi RMU-7L mass spectrometer. In general, the spectra of organophosphorus compounds do not exhibit molecular ions but are dominated by fragment ions, many of which must be formed by rearrangement processes. A geometry-optimized self-consistent field molecular orbital method has been employed to compute energies and structural parameters for prominent ions. In addition, a diabatic curve crossing model has been used to examine the single electron transfer reactions responsible for intense ions in the doubly charged ion mass spectra. Appearance energies measured for ions prominent in the 2E spectra of organophosphorus compounds have ranged from 23 to 38 eV.

    Notes: Charge transfer reactivities of hydrocarbon ions have been measured with time-of-flight techniques, and results correlated with theoretical structures computed by self-consistent field molecular orbital methods. Recombination energies, ion structures, heats of formation, reaction energetics and relative charge transfer cross-sections are presented for molecular and fragment ions produced by electron bombardment ionization of CH4, C2H4, C2H6, C3H8 and C4H10 molecules. Even-electron bridged cations have low ion recombination energies and relatively low charge transfer cross-sections as compared with odd-electron hydrocarbon cations.
