Abstract
Two 12-residue peptides were synthesized by the solid-phase method as structural analogs of a Ca2+-binding loop of rabbit skeletal troponin C. The sequence of the analogs corresponds to the binding loop of the Ca2+-specific low affinity binding site II (residues 63-74) but with two amino acid substitutions. In one analog, Phe-72 was replaced by tyrosine. In the other Gly-66 was substituted by serine and Phe-72 by tyrosine. The intrinsic fluorescence of the peptides was enhanced upon addition of Tb3+ or large excess of Ca2+. From the enhancement of Tb3+ emission association constants in the range (2-3) X 10(5) M-1 and a binding stoichiometry of 1 were determined for Tb3+ binding to the peptides. Large excess of Ca2+ displaced Tb3+ from the Tb3+-peptide complexes and from these results apparent stability constants of 500-700 M-1 were deduced for Ca2+ binding. Preliminary proton nuclear magnetic resonance results on one of the peptides indicated that La3+ induced considerable perturbation of the amide proton resonances of several residues, including the aspartate at position 3, the tyrosine at position 10, and the two glutamates at the C-terminus. The results suggest involvement of these residues in cation coordination.

Abstract
A technique for the transplantation of mouse mammary epithelial cells, grown in collagen gels, has been developed that demonstrates that the phenotype of the cells prior to culture was not altered by the culture conditions. Mammary epithelial cells from virgin and midpregnant C57BL/Crgl mice; virgin, midpregnant, and multiparous nonpregnant BALB/cfC3H/Crgl mice; a BALB/c hyperplastic alveolar nodule line, and mammary tumors from BALB/cfC3H/Crgl mice were embedded inside collagen gels and grown for 10 to 14 days in the presence of 25% swine serum plus cholera toxin (0.01 microgram/ml). The epithelial cells increased in number during the culture period. At the end of the culture period, the cells were removed from the collagen gels and transplanted to the gland-free mammary fat pads of 3-week-old syngeneic female mice. Culture in collagen gels increased the number of cells necessary to obtain a high percentage of mammary outgrowths as compared to cells not grown inside collagen gels. In general, mammary cells grown inside collagen gels gave rise to outgrowths, similar in phenotype to those from noncultured cells, and were representative of the tissue of origin. Mammary epithelial cells from C57BL/Crgl virgin donors grown in collagen gels for 10 to 14 days retained their ability to respond to the endogenous hormones of pregnancy and lactation of the host and formed lobuloalveolar structures full of secretion similar to the host's own mammary gland. The data indicate that the growth of mammary epithelial cells in collagen gels and subsequent transplantation into the gland-free fat pads of syngeneic hosts provides a simple system, wherein cells can be grown in vitro and their phenotypes determined in vivo.

Abstract
Mouse submandibular glands were dissociated and the epithelial cells embedded in a collagen gel matrix. A characteristic and reproducible pattern of growth was seen resulting in three-dimensional outgrowths with ductlike structures projecting into the matrix. A sustained cell growth leading to a 5 to 10-fold increase in cell number was observed in less than 2 wk. The extent of this growth was found to be dependent on serum concentration. Of the three sera tested, swine serum was found to promote greater growth compared to fetal bovine serum or horse serum. Swine serum dose response studies have shown that a concentration of 2 to 5% in the medium elicited only a modest increase, if any, in cell number compared to the initial value within a period of 2 wk. Various hormones and growth factors were then added to this "maintenance" medium. Insulin was found to stimulate growth consistently and reproducibly in a dose-dependent manner. Ultrastructurally, the resulting outgrowths were comprised of polarized cells joined by apical tight junction and desmosomes. The outgrowths produced epidermal growth factor in response to dihydrotestosterone, triiodothyronine, and cortisol. The present system provides a method for sustaining growth and functional differentiation in primary culture of mouse submandibular gland epithelial cells.

Abstract
The prevelance of antibodies to Toxocara canis was determined in 113 veterinary personnel from 22 animal clinics. One hundred and fourteen adult hospital in-patients served as controls. All participants completed a questionnaire supplying personal data and specifies regarding animal exposure and dog ownership. Antibodies to Toxocara were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) employing as antigen, excretorysecretory products from second stage larvae of Toxocara canis.Toxocara antibodies were found in ten (8.8%) of 113 veterinary workers and in 11 (9.6%) of 114 controls. Antibody prevalence was no different between males and females. Toxocara infection was not associated with dog ownership in veterinary workers or in hospitalized controls. A breakdown of the specific occupations among veterinary personnel failed to show a difference in antibody prevalence, nor did years of service as a veterinary worker correlate with the presence of Toxocara antibody.Our results suggest that toxocariasis is not associated with direct humandog contact nor with occupational exposure to dogs.

Abstract
In sera from patients with visceral larva migrans (VLM) syndrome, enzyme-linked immunospecific assay (ELISA) was used to detect IgG and IgE antibody anti-excretory-secretory antigen (ESA) from the second larval stage of Toxocara canis. The technical conditions of the assay were determined. The specificity of IgG ELISA-ESA (with OD values greater than 0.34) allowed the differentiation of VLM syndrome from ascaris or other human parasite infections.

Abstract
Human mammary epithelial cells were dissociatd from mastectomy tissues. The contaminating fibroblasts were removed by the use of Percoll density-gradient centrifugation, which utilizes the difference in buoyant densities between epithelial cells and fibroblasts. A preparation highly enriched for mammary epithelial cells ws then embedded in collagen gel and cultured in Ham's F12 medium containing 12.5% horse serum, 2.5% fetal calf serum, 0.1 microgram cholera toxin/ml, an extract prepared from human male urine (L microgram protein/ml), and a hormone combination of 10 microgram insulin/ml, 10 microgram human placental lactogen/ml, 1 microgram aldosterone/ml, and 0.5 microgram hydrocortisone/ml. Sustained growth leading to an increase of tenfold to thirtyfold in cell number over the initial value was accomplished in primary culture, and this growth was maintained even after passage to secondary culture. Deletion of either the urine extract or the hormone combination resulted in less than optimal growth. Subsequent studies showed that hydrocortisone alone could replace the hormone combination. In addition, urine extract could be replaced by extracts prepared from human kidneys or brains. The collagen gel system provies a reproducible and consistent method for sustained three-dimensional growth of mammary epithelial cells from human breast tissue in primary as well as passaged cultures.

Abstract
Sustained growth of normal mouse mammary epithelial cells in primary culture, leading to an increase in cell number, in response to growth factors [epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)] or cholera toxin has been achieved by embedding the cells inside collagen cells. Inclusion of agents known to increase the level of cellular cAMP have been found to be favorable for mammary epithelial cell proliferation. Cholera toxin is by far the best of all of the agents tested (prostaglandins E1 and E2, isoproterenol, theophylline, and dibutyryl cAMP). When growth factors (EGF or FGF) are added with cholera toxin, a synergistic effect resulting in a response much greater than with either of them alone is seen. This synergism was best seen in normal mammary epithelial cells from nonpregnant mice. The extent of this synergistic effect was found to be less in normal cells from pregnant mice, suggesting that these cells may be less responsive to EGF during pregnancy. Tumor cells were found to be rather inconsistent in their responses to EGF and cholera toxin, ranging from a minimal response, similar to that of normal cells from pregnant animals, to a maximal response, similar to that of normal cells from nonpregnant animals.

Abstract
Mammary tumor epithelial cells from BALB/cfC3H mice were dispersely embedded inside the collagen gels in Ham's F-12 medium containing horse serum. A sustained cell growth leading to a 5- to 10-fold increase in cell number over initial level was observed in less than 2 weeks. The extent of this growth was found to be dependent on serum concentration. However, addition of various protein and steroid hormones, both singly and in combination, to low-serum-containing medium failed to achieve a comparable level of growth to that promoted by higher serum concentration. Mammary tumor cells can now be consistently propagated in primary culture.

Abstract
Normal mammary epithelial cells from BALB/cfC3H midpregnant mice were freed from stromal cell types by Percoll density gradient centrifugation after collagenase digestion and were then embedded within collagen gels. Sustained growth leading to an increase in cell number was accomplished in response to cholera toxin and high concentrations of horse serum. The extent of growth was found to be dependent on the horse serum concentration, the maximum growth being attained at 50%. A serum concentration of 12.5% horse serum and 2.5% fetal calf serum, along with cholera toxin at 0.01 mug/ml, allowed maintenance but failed to cause any significant increase in cell number during the experimental period of 2 weeks. This same maintenance medium was used to determine the effects of various exogenously added steroids, protein hormones, and organ extracts on the proliferation of mammary epithelial cells in culture. Hormones failed to elicit any proliferative response, but extracts of kidney, brain, uterus, and spleen produced proliferative responses equal to or greater than the response obtained with 50% horse serum and cholera toxin. Kidney extracts prepared from midpregnant mice, virgin mice, and virgin mice given pituitary isografts all showed comparable activities, suggesting that the concentration of stimulatory factor(s) was not influenced by the hormonal status of the donor. Normal mammary epithelial cells that had undergone a 10- to 15-fold increase in cell number over initial values during 2-3 weeks in culture were passaged to secondary gel cultures. Outgrowth similar to those seen in primary culture were seen again in secondary culture. The present system provides a method for sustaining growth in culture of primary mammary epithelial cells from normal tissues.

Abstract
This report describes the development and evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to Entamoeba histolytica. Highly sensitive and reproducible results were obtained in antigen-coated plates prepared by air-drying at 37 degrees C. Comparison of the ELISA with indirect fluorescent antibody and indirect hemagglutination techniques showed that the former was slightly more sensitive than the two latter methods. The specificity was evaluated by testing specially chosen population groups. ELISA was negative in 96.4% of 693 normal adults and children and in 96.6% of 377 patients with various parasitic, bacterial, mycotic, and other clinical diseases. The assay was positive in 26% of 461 patients with suspected amebiasis and in all of 53 patients with amoebic liver abscess. The ELISA was found to be a specific, highly sensitive, and reliable procedure for detecting anti-E. histolytica antibodies in humans.

Abstract
We have developed a method for embedding cells within a collagen matrix which allows sustained growth of mouse mammary tumor epithelial cells in primary culture. A characteristic and reproducible pattern of organization and growth occurs: the cells rearrange themselves and produce duct-like structures extending into the matrix, resulting in a three-dimensional outgrowth. Autoradiography showed continuous [3H]thymidine incorporation during 8 weeks in culture. An increase in DNA content of the cultured cells as a function of time was observed. Mouse mammary tumor cells cultured in the conventional monolayer system failed to show any significant increase in cell number during a culture period of 6 weeks. In addition, in such monolayer systems, cells progressively became detached from the dishes in long-term culture. The mammary epithelial cell origin of the collagen gel cell outgrowths was shown by electron microscopic demonstration of polarized cells containing tight junctions and budding mammary tumor virus particles. In addition, in vivo transplantation of collagen gel outgrowths resulted in the development of mammary adenocarcinoma histologically similar to the donor tumor. Cellular outgrowth patterns resembling those from tumor cells were also seen in similar collagen gel cultures of normal mammary cells from mouse and human and of hyperplastic alveolar nodule cells from mouse. The significance and usefulness of this system in comparison to the conventional monolayer system are discussed.

Abstract
3-Methyl-2,3-dihydro-9H-isoxazolo[3,2-b]quinazolin-9-one was readily absorbed, metabolized and eliminated in rat, dog, monkey and man. The radioactivity elimination after i.v. or p.o. administration of W-2451-14C in rats was biphasic with corresponding half-lives of 1.8 and 8.7 hours. Plasma half-lives of W-2451 in the dog, rhesus monkey and man were 1.4, 1.2 and 3.2 hours, respectively. In the rat, excretion via the urine was predominant, no significant accumulation in tissue occurred. The only major metabolite found in rat and dog urine, rat plasma and in the rat liver 9000 g supernatant fraction was the 3-hydroxy derivative of the drug. The unsaturated compound with the double bond in the 2,3-position and other hydroxylated metabolites were also present. Very little free or conjugated anthranilic acid and 3-(o-carboxy-phenylimino)-4-methylisoxazolidine were found.

Abstract
Mouse mammary epithelial cultures were examined for the ability to specifically bind [125I]PRL after cultivation on floating collagen gels. Corticosterone, particularly hydrocortisone, were effective in increasing the ability of mouse mammary cells to bind [125I]PRL. The absence of a glucocorticoid in the medium resulted in a loss of PRL binding during the 3 days in culture. 17 beta-Estradiol, progesterone, and aldosterone at equal molar concentration had no or only a small effect in increasing [125I]PRL binding.
