    Notes: Abstract A panel of twelve monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), designated FS1 to FS12, have been raised against surface antigens of Fucus serratus sperm. The antibodies were selected on the basis that they show region-, gamete-, species- or genus-preferential binding. Indirect immunofluorescence shows that the antigens bound by the MAbs are distributed non-randomly over the cell surface. Seven MAbs (FS1, FS3, FS4, FS6, FS8, FS9, FS10) bind antigens located primarily on the cell body, while the others (FS2, FS5, FS7, FS11, FS12) bind antigens located primarily on the anterior flagellum. Of the MAbs that label the anterior flagellum, FS2, FS5, FS7 and FS12 form a ‘halo’ at the perimeter of the flagellum. Electron microscopic-immunogold studies indicate that the ‘halo’ results from labelling of the mastigonemes, as opposed to the flagellar plasmamembrane. Gamete-preferential binding of antibodies was detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with egg membrane vesicles. Eight of the MAbs bind sperm antigens not common to eggs, though FS2, FS4, FS5 and FS9 bind antigens present on both sperm and eggs. In studies of species- and genus-specificity FS2, FS3, FS5, FS6, FS7, FS8, FS10, FS11 and FS12 exhibit genus-preferential binding, labelling sperm of F. serratus and F. vesiculosus more intensely than that of Ascophyllum nodosum. Only FS10 showed marked species-preferential binding, labelling sperm of F. serratus much more intensely than that of F. vesiculosus.

    Notes: Abstract Sperm of the brown alga Fucus serratus are highly differentiated, biflagellate, naked cells. Immunolocalisation studies, employing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs — designated FS1 to FS12) raised against antigens of these sperm cells, have revealed that some sperm surface components are distributed over the entire cell, whereas others are restricted to, or occur preferentially on, the surface of the anterior flagellum or cell body. This report describes the use of these MAbs in Western-blot procedures and antigen-modification binding assays to determine the nature of these sperm surface components. Monoclonal antibodies which bind to antigens found on the cell body and both flagella (FS3, FS4, FS6, FS8, FS10) recognise carbohydrate epitopes of a high-molecular-weight glycoprotein (Mr=205 kDa). These MAbs were initially chosen at random from a much larger number of antibodies which bound to sperm in a similar fashion, indicating that this glycoprotein is an immunodominant antigen. Though these MAbs compete under conditions of limited antigen availability, differences in the effects of periodate on antibody binding and differences in other binding data indicate that the MAbs recognise epitopes of this glycoprotein which are neighbouring or overlapping, rather than common. The MAb FS9, which has a similar binding pattern to the above antibodies, also seems to bind to carbohydrate epitopes, but the antigen recognised by this antibody could not be identified in Western-blotting procedures. The MAbs FS7 and FS12, which bind to the mastigonemes on the anterior flagellum and to the cell body and posterior flagellum, recognise a set of glycoproteins in the molecular-weight range 40–250 kDa. The evidence indicates that the antibodies are binding to N-linked carbohydrate side chains of these glycoproteins. Three MAbs that bind to the anterior flagellum (FS2, FS5 and FS11) recognise protein antigens in the molecular-weight range 90–250 kDa; it is not known whether these antigens are glycosylated. The MAb FS1, which binds primarily to the sperm cell body, could not be used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays or Western-blotting procedures and the antigen recognised by this antibody is so far uncharacterised.

    Hybrid finite difference/finite element solution method development for non-linear superconducting magnet and electrical circuit breakdown transient analysis (1986)

    Notes: The problem of non-linear superconducting magnet and electrical protection circuit system transients is formulated. To enable studying the effects of coil normalization transients, coil distortion (due to imbalanced magnetic forces), internal coil arcs and shorts, and other normal and off-normal circuit element responses, the following capabilities are included: temporal, voltage and current-dependent voltage sources, current sources, resistors, capacitors and inductors. The concept of self-mutual inductance, and the form of the associated inductance matrix, is discussed for internally shorted coils. This is a Kirchhoff's voltage loop law and Kirchhoff's current node law formulation. The non-linear integrodifferential equation set is solved via a unique hybrid finite difference/integral finite element technique.

    Production of acetic acid by Clostridium thermoaceticum in batch and continuous fermentations (1986)

    Notes: Batch and continuous fermentations with Clostridium thermoaceticum (ATCC 39073) using automatic pH control were conducted. The value of μmax obtained from batch fermentation was about 0.14 h-1; acetate yield, which was both growth and non-growth associated, was about 2 mole of acetic acid/mole of glucose, compared with a theoretical maximum value of 3. This low yield, compared with literature data, may be explained by glucose loss through a combination of degradation routes. Continuous fermentation could be sustained for 1600 h or more without contamination problems. Continuous fermentation at high dilution rates indicates that μmax may be well above 0.17 h-1 when fresh feed medium is used. Acetate yields in continuous fermentation were about 77% of theoretical or 2.3 mole of acetic acid/mole of glucose.
