Abstract
This study had a dual purpose. First, the effects of pancreatic buffer flow on whole organ hormone output were investigated. Second, the receptor mechanisms by which sympathetic nerve stimulation alters the secretion rates of somatostatin and insulin were assessed. Pancreata of mongrel puppies were perfused in situ with nonrecirculated Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer (150 mg/dl glucose). Buffer flow was adjusted between 0.2 and 4 ml/min X g pancreas. Insulin secretion rate (nanograms per min/g pancreas; ISR) as well as pancreatic O2 and glucose consumption increased as flow increased between 1 and 2 ml/min X g, where each reached a maximum plateau. Thus, ISR was shown to be dependent on flow over the middle range of flow investigated. In separate experiments, bilateral stimulation of the splanchnic nerves or pancreatic arterial infusion of norepinephrine to a final concentration of 60 microM decreased ISR and the somatostatin secretion rate (SSR). Adrenergic suppression of ISR was antagonized by phentolamine and phenoxybenzamine. Adrenergic inhibition of SSR was blocked only by phenoxybenzamine. Propranolol had no effects. We conclude that norepinephrine is sufficient to account for sympathetic inhibition of ISR and SSR (e.g. it is not necessary to postulate another transmitter) and that this inhibition may be transmitted through an effect on the islet vasculature or an effect on the islet cells themselves. The types of alpha-adrenoceptors mediating the adrenergically induced decrease in ISR differ from those causing the decrease in SSR.

Abstract
It has been suggested that some polysaccharides play important roles in immune responses. Therefore, we used various types of polysaccharides for analysis of macrophage-mediated tumor cell killing. We report here that fucoidan blocked macrophage activation occurs in an inductive phase but enhanced macrophage activation appears in an effector phase.

Abstract
We tested anti-tumor activities of macrophages treated with a neutral polysaccharide, schizophyllan (SPG), against syngeneic and allogeneic tumor cell lines. SPG was a macrophage stimulant which was not mitogenic to lymphocytes. That made a sharp contrast with the data that Corynebacterium parvum, BCG, and muramyl dipeptide (MDF) were macrophage stimulants which had lymphocyte-activating properties. Treatment of SPG-treated PEC with Thy12 monoclonal antibody and guinea pig complement did not affect the capabilities of tumor-cell-growth suppression by the treated PEC. Thus, the effector cells were peritoneal adherent cells (macrophages morphologically) and effector-to-target contact seemed to be necessary for effective tumor-cell-growth inhibition, although contradictory data exist for this. Murine peritoneal adherent cells harvested 4 days after a single IP injection of SPG at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight of mouse showed the most prominent cytostatic and cytotoxic activities against syngeneic and allogeneic tumor cells. The distribution of anti-tumor activity in macrophages of various sizes followed the same pattern as macrophages treated with C. Parvum, i.e., larger macrophages showed more remarkable anti-tumor activity. Crude nonadherent peritoneal cells incubated with SPG at a concentration of 10 micrograms/ml, 100 micrograms/ml, or 1 mg/ml did not secrete lymphokine that rendered macrophages cytotoxic, while ConA-treated nonadherent cells did so. Furthermore, spleen cells treated with SPG in vivo did not secrete macrophage-activating lymphokine in the presence of SPG. On the other hand, addition of 1 mg/ml of SPG-treated peritoneal adherent cells and bone-marrow-derived macrophages in vitro rendered them cytotoxic to a moderate degree. This implies that SPG may activate macrophages directly, allowing them to become cytotoxic in the peritoneal cavity. Lastly, SPG could induce production of II-1-like factor to a moderate degree. SPG, whose molecular structure is well elucidated, will provide us with a strong tool to analyze the mechanism of macrophage activation both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The activation of immunostimulatory activity and Ia expression was studied in pure populations of murine macrophages (M phi) grown in vitro from bone marrow precursor cells in the presence of L cell-conditioned medium as the source of colony-stimulating factor. During exponential growth, the M phi developed maximal Ia-dependent antigen-presenting activity as detected by the induction of antigen-specific T cell proliferation, but the proportion of Ia+ M phi was low (less than 10%). Fractionation of the M phi according to size by velocity sedimentation resulted in concentration of the antigen-presenting cells in the smallest fraction, but the enrichment of Ia+ M phi in this fraction was less than twofold. All fractions also showed comparable degrees of antigen uptake regardless of their T cell-stimulating activity. Thus Ia and antigen, although obviously essential, are insufficient for full manifestation of antigen-presenting function. Activation of M phi with lymphokines from Mycobacterium-activated lymph node cells resulted in enhanced Ia expression in all fractions, but only small M phi showed an enhancement in antigen presentation. Large activation M phi were found to exert an immunosuppressive effect that probably neutralized any augmentation of stimulatory activity. thus heterogeneity can be demonstrated in i) the function of unstimulated M phi, ii) the responsiveness of subsets to stimulation, and iii) the manifestation of activated functions.

Abstract
The subpopulations of murine macrophages (M phi) that can be activated by endotoxin (LPS) and lymphokines to produce lymphocyte-activating factor, or interleukin 1 (IL-1), and to express cytostatic and cytolytic activities against tumor cells were characterized in 3 cell populations with immature and mature M phi in various proportions, namely, normal peritoneal cells, glycogen-induced peritoneal cells, and cultured bone marrow M phi. There is disagreement in the literature as to whether tumor cytotoxicity can be elicited from all M phi or from a subset of small, newly formed peroxidase-positive (p+) monocytes. Using the technique of cell size fractionation, which separates p+ and p- M phi to various extents, we have found that the magnitude of te response to LPS and lymphokines increases with cell size (and hence maturity or the degree of prior stimulation) and is not exclusive to p+ M phi. Our results are consistent with the concept that all M phi, irrespective of developmental stage, can exist in a continuum of activated states, depending on the nature of the activation signals.

Abstract
A technique is described for providing myocardial protection utilizing oxygenated blood that is drawn from the pump oxygenator and passed through two disposable cardioplegic cooling coils, which are joined in series and submerged in ice slush. A potassium-containing cardioplegic solution is run into the oxygenated blood at the level of the cooling coils. The amount of blood used in the blood-potassium cardioplegic mixture is controlled using a screw clamp. This method has been used with excellent results in 150 consecutive patients undergoing aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass grafting.

Abstract
The lymphokine Interleukin 2(IL2) restores T cell responses in a number of in vitro systems where immunogenicity has been compromised. UV irradiation of the stimulating allogeneic cells in a mixed leukocyte culture eliminates the production of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and greatly reduces the DNA synthesis response. IL2 restores both parameters. UV-irradiated stimulators are also unable to induce the normal production of IL2 which is observed in a mixed leukocyte culture. The cytotoxic activity of allogeneically stimulated thymocytes is almost completely lost within 24 hours after removal of IL2 at 5 days, indicating that the lymphokine is continuously required to maintain CTL. Thymocytes in 4-day cultures do not adsorb IL2 unless they are simultaneously activated with a mitogen. Finally, IL2 does not adequately restore a secondary response to the purified protein derivative of tuberculin (PPD) in adherent-cell-depleted cultures, indicating that macrophages, in addition to being required for IL2 production, have other functions. These probably include the presentation of soluble antigens to responding cells.

Abstract
Antigen-specific T cell proliferation can be readily elicited from the popliteal lymph node cells of mice which have received immunizations of antigen in the hind footpads. The advantages of our system over other published methods are (i) simplicity in method and materials, (ii) much improved reproducibility, (iii) negligible concomitant B cell proliferation, (iv) large degrees of antigen specific proliferation with very low background, and (v) complete dependence of the response on accessory cells or macrophages. These results were brought about by proper immunization procedures for mice and judicious choice of culture conditions. Our data show that the system is very suitable for the study of macrophage-T cell interaction in the induction of T cell proliferation as well as the genetic basis of responsiveness or non-responsiveness to protein and polypeptide antigens.

Abstract
All cells, whatever their origin, function in an essentially inorganic environment. In this environment, metal cations play an important role. Attempts were made in the present study to determine if different amounts of five metal ions (MG++, Fe++, Mn++, Zn++, Ca++) are needed for secondary metabolism of Clostridium perfringens than are needed for primary metabolism. Both the vegetative growth stage (primary metabolic stage) and spore stage (secondary metabolic stage) of Clostridium perfringens were studied. Endeavors were made to detect the effects of metal ions, if any, on growth and sporulation of the organisms. Mg++ was required for growth of vegetative cells and maintenance of normal cellular morphology, Fe++ was needed for sporulation as well as for vegetative growth, but the amount needed for spore formation was higher than that needed for growth. Ca++ was essential to refractility and heat-resistance of spores. Zn++ inhibited both growth and sporulation, if the Mg++ concentration was low. Mn++ was required for neither growth nor sporulation. For maximum heat-resistance of the spores, Ca++ plus unidentified organic substances were required.

Abstract
Peritoneal cells (PEC) from mice injected i.p. with heat-killed Corynebacterium parvum (CP) showed enhanced immunostimulatory (accessor or A cell) activity as measured by their ability to restore the immune responsiveness of nonadherent spleen cells to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) and polymeric flagellin (POL) of Salmonella adelaide in vitro. This was true whether the PEC and nonadherent spleen cells were in direct contact or separated by a cell-impermeable membrane which allowed the free passage of soluble mediators. CP-activated PEC also exhibited greatly increased cytostatic activity against the growth of syngeneic tumor cells in vitro. After fractionation of the PEC according to cell size by velocity sedimentation, a separation of A cell activity from anti-tumor activity was observed. Although both these functions were associated with phagocytic cells of the monocyte-macrophage series, the highest A cell activity was found in fractions containing small and medium-sized macrophages, whereas the anti-tumor activity increased with cell size to a maximum with the largest macrophages. Thus, there is a relative increase of suppressive activity over stimulatory activity with an increase in cell size. Cytochemical and morphologic evidence suggests that the A cell-rich fractions contained small and medium-sized macrophages which were derived from newly arrived monocytes, whereas the large tumor-suppressive macrophages were relatively more differentiated.

Abstract
A relationship between height genes (dw locus) and perioxidase was demonstrated by extracting and determining peroxidase specific activity in internode tissue from different height isogenic lines of sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. Tall plants (2 dwarf) had less peroxidase per gram tissue than their short counterparts (3 dwarf); their F1 offspring internodes were closer but had more peroxidase than the tall parent. Peroxidase in the F2 offspring was inversely related to their height and followed a simply-inherited pattern similar to that for height.Among different tissues analyzed, peroxidase concentration in roots was higher than in leaves and internodes, whole internode higher than in pith, and seed embryo higher than in endosperm. Peroxidase activity of nonviable seeds was negligible.Isoelectric focusing provided a more detailed peroxidase zymogram than did gel electrophoresis. Differences in peroxidase bands among tall and short parental plants, F1 and F2 segregating groups all appear to be reflected by intensity differences rather than by position or number of bands.Activities of nitrate reductase and acid phosphatase did not correlate with height. That finding provides a control and suggests that peroxidase activity is not associated with height by chance but may have a functional relationship.

Abstract
Mouse spleen cells capable of specifically binding intrinsically tritium-labeled polymerized flagellin (POL) (labeling by biosynthesis of flagellar protein) via IgM receptors were found to comprise a distinct population of about 20-50 cells per 10(6) lymphocytes. Evidence is presented that the majority of mouse spleen cells binding tritium-labeled POL undergoes blastogenesis after antigen capping, antigen shedding, and receptor reformation. Under conditions of tolerance induction in vitro, however, loss of antigen from the cell surface was inhibited. Such inhibition of antigen redistribution and shedding was reversed by a short pulse of colchicine and new antigen receptors were formed. In spite of this, colchicine had no effect on the tolerant state. However, tolerance could be broken, regardless of presence or absence of the alkaloid, with radioresistant theta-negative accessory (A) cells (adherent cells) from normal but not from tolerant spleen cell populations. "Tolerant" A cells, although they were incapable of cooperating in a response to POL, were capable of participating in a response to a second unrelated antigen. It is concluded that tolerance to POL in vitro is induced by mechanisms other than the physical blocking of bone marrow-derived (B) cell receptors by antigen. Most likely, the discrimination by the B cell between a tolerogenic and immunogenic signal is mediated by A cells.

Abstract
The antibody responses of mouse spleen cells in vitro to three thymus-independent (TI) antigens namely, polymeric flagellin (POL) of Salmonella adelaide, DNP-Ficoll and "soluble" sheep erythrocyte (SRBC) antigen, were found to be dependent on adherent accessory cells (A cells) but to a lesser degree than the response to intact SRBC. Evidence for this comes from selective depletion of A cells from spleen cells and reconstitution with A cell-rich populations. Thus, depletion of A cells by adherence on glass resulted in abolition of the response to SRBC leaving the response to POL intact. More thorough removal of A cells by treatment with carbonyl iron powder was required for appreciable reduction of the responses to POL, DNP-Ficoll and "soluble" SRBC. This reduction in responsiveness was not due to poor cell survival after A cell depletion or to the loss of immunocompetent cells since 1) the recoveries of viable cells in all cultures were similar; 2) the contents of theta- and Ig-bearing cells and tritium-labeled POL-binding cells were unaltered after carbonyl iron treatment, and 3) responsiveness was fully restored by the addition of irradiated and anti-theta-treated A cells from the peritoneal cavity or the spleen. Hence, the hitherto A cell independence of TI antigens on which some theories of B cell activation are based is a result of inadequate depletion procedures, and the minimal model for B cell activation must take into account two cell types: B cells and A cells.

Abstract
The reduction in cell surface charge density during the early stages of differentiation of the cellular slime mould, Dictyostelium discoideum, has been studied by the technique of cell electrophoresis. Using specific chemical reagents, it was shown that the cell surface negative charge was probably due to side chain carboxyl groups of proteins. During differentiation, there was a decrease in the density of these groups, accompanied by an increase in that of amino groups. The significance of this finding is discussed in relation to cell surface structure and cell differentiation.

Abstract
The reduction in the cell surface charge density of Dictyostelium discoideum during differentiation has been studied by the technique of cell electrophoresis. It was abolished under conditions in which cell aggregation was inhibited (e.g. low temperature, the presence of actinomycin D or cycloheximide). In the presence of nutrients incapable of supporting growth, cell aggregation occurred without a reduction in surface charge density. Cell adhesion in these aggregates was impaired, and a reduction in surface charge density appeared to be necessary for further development.
Brief treatment of exponential phase and aggregating cells with agents which disaggregate slugs failed to alter their electrophoretic mobilities. Low concentrations of magnesium chloride caused extensive agglutination, especially in aggregating cell suspensions, but little change in their electrophoretic mobilities. Magnesium chloride could agglutinate cells by association with cell surface components undetectable by cell electrophoresis. This, together with immunological evidence from other workers, supports the possibility of involvement of specific surface macromolecules in cellular slime mould aggregation. It was concluded that changes in surface charge density, though important for cell adhesion and morphogenesis, cannot account for all aspects of cell interactions in D. discoideum.
