Abstract
We detected an antibody to HCV envelope protein (E1) in sera of patients with HCV-related chronic liver diseases (20 patients with chronic hepatitis and 5 patients with liver cirrhosis) by Western blotting using the fusion protein of E1 envelope protein and beta-galactosidase as an antigen. The antibody to HCV E1 (anti-HCV E1) was detected in 8 (42%) of 19 patients positive for HCV-RNA (16 were positive and 3 were negative for antibody to C100-3) and in 1 (17%) of 6 patients negative for HCV-RNA but positive for antibody to C100-3. HCV-RNA was detected in 8 (89%) of 9 anti-HCV E1 positive sera. The value of alanine aminotransferase was significantly higher in patients positive for anti-HCV E1 than in patients negative for the antibody. Although an antibody to the envelope protein of HCV is suspected to be one of the candidates of virus-neutralizing antibodies, our results suggest this hypothesis appears to be unlikely.

Abstract
Nine patients with liver metastases from gastric cancer were treated in our department since 1986. Hepatectomy was performed in 3 cases and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy was performed in 6 cases. In 3 patients in whom hepatectomy was performed, the extent of liver metastases showed 2 H1 and 1 H2. One has survived for 20 months, but the other 2 died after 5 and 7 months, respectively. In 6 patients in whom hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy was performed, the extent of liver metastases was H3. These patients were treated with 5-FU.EPIR.MMC (3 cases), CDDP.MMC (1 case), MMC only (1 case) and 5-FU.ADM.MMC.CDDP (1 case). This treatment revealed a 50% response rate (CR 1, PR 2). The patient with CR has survived for 6 years and 2 patients with PR died after 8 and 12 months. The patient with CR showed high AFP level (55, 480 ng/ml), and 2 patients with PR showed high AFP level (24, 327 ng/ml) or high CEA level (3,903 ng/ml). The prognosis of hepatectomy for liver metastases from gastric cancer was not so good. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy seemed to be a useful treatment for liver metastases from gastric cancer.

Abstract
We showed that the combination of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin is an essential supplement to Williams' #E medium for the formation of floating multicellular spheroids in primary culture of rat hepatocytes. Isolated hepatocytes assembled to form floating multicellular spheroids within 96 h through transient assembly of monolayer islands within the initial 24 h in dishes coated with liver-derived proteoglycans. However, the assembly of multicellular spheroids was severely suppressed in the absence of either EGF or insulin. The reduction of spheroid assembly was correlated with decreased attachment and subsequent decreased formation of monolayer islands within 24 h. The minimum amounts of EGF and insulin required for the formation of floating spheroids were 1 ng/ml and 0.4 microgram/ml, respectively. These results suggest that the enhancement of hepatocyte attachment provided by the combination of EGF and insulin during the early phase of culture is required for the formation of floating spheroids.

Abstract
To investigate the association between valproate metabolism (VPA) and VPA-induced hyperammonemia together with the contribution of VPA hepatotoxicity risk factors such as young age, polypharmacy, and high serum VPA levels to VPA-induced hyperammonemia, plasma ammonia (NH3) levels, serum levels of VPA and its metabolites, and biochemical parameters were determined in 98 patients treated with VPA (53 monopharmacy cases and 45 polypharmacy cases). In monopharmacy patients, plasma NH3 levels did not depend on age, VPA dosage or serum levels. Serum level of 2-propyl-4-pentenoic acid (4-en) showed a negative correlation with plasma NH3 level in the monopharmacy group. In polypharmacy patients, plasma NH3 levels, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase were significantly higher, while level/dose VPA ratio, 2-en-VPA serum level, and bilirubin were significantly lower than those in monopharmacy patients. These results suggest that young age and relatively high VPA serum levels within the therapeutic range were unlikely to be risk factors for common hyperammonemia associated with VPA therapy and that 4-en was not causally related to this adverse effect. The decreased serum level of 2-en-VPA in polypharmacy patients may be a reflection of a certain mitochondrial dysfunction, which might be a mechanism of the increased NH3 levels. The changes in biochemical parameters in polypharmacy patients were considered results of the enzyme-inducing activity of coadministered antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).

Abstract
Soluble HLA Class I antigens in sera (serum-HLA Class I, s-HLA Class I) of patients with chronic hepatitis (CH) were measured with an enzyme-linked double determinant immunoassay (E-DDIA). The mean titers of s-HLA Class I antigens of patients with CPH (mean +/- standard deviation, 2.22 +/- 1.60), CAH2A (2.24 +/- 1.65) or CAH2B (2.73 +/- 1.46) were significantly higher than that of normal subjects (0.36 +/- 0.27) (P less than 0.01). The titer of s-HLA Class I correlated significantly with the level of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (s-GPT) (r = 0.73), and weakly with serum level of beta 2-microglobulin (r = 0.43). In patients with chronic hepatitis type B (CH-B) treated with human lymphoblastoid interferon alpha (IFN-alpha), the titer of s-HLA Class I antigens increased. The increased level of s-HLA Class I antigens in the clinical course of chronic hepatitis may be caused by their release from necrotizing hepatocytes which have acquired the expression of HLA Class I antigens on the cell-surface membrane during viral infection.

Abstract
Adult rat hepatocytes formed spherical multicellular aggregates (spheroids) when they were cultured in the pores of polyurethane foam (PUF). The diameter of the spheroids was within the range 100-200 microns. These spheroids partly attached and immobilized in the PUF pores for at least 2 weeks. The albumin production rate by the spheroids increased up to 17.0 micrograms/10(6) nuclei per day during the first 6 days and maintained at a high level for 2 weeks. In contrast, the albumin production rate by the monolayer markedly decreased after 3 days. The spheroid culture using PUF seems to be a convenient and simple method for maintaining some differentiated functions of hepatocytes and for making a bioreactor using the function of spheroids.

Abstract
After 12 days of culture, VX2 carcinoma cells were inoculated into the liver of 16 rabbits; 14 days later, 131I-labeled iodized oil ([131I]-Lp) suspended in lipiodol was injected into the hepatic artery. Selective accumulation of the contrast material in the tumor for an extended time was evident on X-rays and hepatic scintiphotographs. The antitumor effect was remarkable. [131I]-Lp agents warrant further examination for their clinical usefulness. Internal radiation therapy by transcatheter hepatic arterial injection of [131I]-Lp (group A) was evaluated in 9 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, tumor stage III or IV) associated with liver cirrhosis (LC) and compared with combination therapy of Lp-TAE (group B) in 18 patients with HCC (tumor stage III or IV) associated with LC. In group A, serum AFP levels dropped rapidly in eight of the nine patients who had an elevated initial level of more than 500 ng/ml. The average reduction in tumor size was 50% in eight cases as determined by computed tomography. Histological examination of one resected liver specimen at 3 months after the third injection of [131I]-Lp revealed microscopic features highly suggestive of a radiation effect in the [131I]-Lp-containing area. The 1-year survival value for patients with HCC was estimated at 49.0% using the Kaplan-Meier method. The survival of patients treated with internal radiation therapy tended to be better than that of those treated with Lp-TAE (P = 0.119).

Abstract
The effects of three risk factors for valproate (VPA) hepatotoxicity (i.e., young age, polypharmacy, and high VPA serum level) on the metabolism of VPA to its monounsaturated metabolites [2-en-VPA (2-en), 3-en-VPA (3-en) and 4-en-VPA (4-en)] were investigated in 106 patients treated with VPA (56 cases of monotherapy and 50 cases of polytherapy). In the monotherapy group, there was a significant negative correlation between age and 4-en/VPA ratio. In the same group, the 4-en/VPA ratio showed a significant positive correlation with serum VPA level, while 3-en/VPA and 2-en/VPA ratios showed significant negative correlations. In patients greater than 10 years, the 4-en/VPA ratio was significantly higher, while the 2-en/VPA ratio was significantly lower in the polytherapy group than in the monotherapy group. Our results indicate that all three risk factors clearly increase the metabolic conversion of VPA to 4-en, the most toxic VPA metabolite, and that polytherapy and high VPA serum level result in the inhibited beta-oxidative metabolism of VPA to 2-en. These altered VPA metabolic profiles are strikingly similar to the abnormal VPA metabolism previously reported in cases with fatal hepatic failure. Although VPA-induced fatal hepatotoxicity has been regarded as an idiosyncratic reaction, it is possible that these three factors enhance susceptibility to VPA hepatotoxicity by altering the metabolism of VPA.

Abstract
Multicellular spheroids are spherical cell-aggregates that retain tridimensional architecture and tissue-specific functions. For use of multicellular spheroids of hepatocytes in a bioreactor for hybrid artificial liver support, we studied the effect of encapsulation and circulating culture on their integrity and tissue-specific functions. Multicellular spheroids of rat hepatocytes were encapsulated into microdroplets of calcium alginate gel and were used as a bioreactor in medium circulating in a spouted bed chamber. Approximately 10% of the hepatocytes of an adult rat were entrapped in a bioreactor chamber, connected to a gas exchanger and a medium reservoir. The total bed volume of the system was 250 ml. The pH and DO2 of the hormonally defined circulating medium was maintained constantly. Albumin and urea were produced in a linear fashion for 64 h at the rates of 0.02 micrograms/microgram cell protein/day and 0.15-0.2 ng/micrograms cell protein/day, respectively. Viability and structural stability of the spheroids were well preserved after the culture period. These results indicate that these encapsulated multicellular hepatocyte spheroids will provide a useful bioreactor for the continuous production of albumin, in vitro and also a prototype hybrid artificial liver support.

Abstract
It has been reported that the envelope region located at the 3' portion of the structural protein coding region is one of the most variable regions at both nucleotide and amino acid sequence levels in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome. We cloned HCV cDNA fragments of an envelope protein coding region (HCVNK), which were derived from serum of a Japanese patient with hepatocellular carcinoma and were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. After determining the nucleotide sequence, deduced amino acid sequence of the envelope protein region was compared with those of six HCV strains already published (HCJ1, HCVUS, HCJ4, HCVJH, HCVJ and HCVBK). Homology analysis among the strains revealed that the seven strains were classified into two subtypes; a US subtype (HCJ1 and HCVUS) and a Japanese subtype (HCJ4, HCVJH, HCVJ, HCVBK and HCVNK), since percentage homologies between two subtypes (70.3-77.3%) were significantly lower than those within each subtype (83.9-93.5%). Detailed analysis of the amino acid sequences also indicates that the region at aa246-aa258, tentatively named intersubtype variable region-1, may distinguish the US subtype from the Japanese subtype.

Abstract
Adult rat hepatocytes are capable of assembling to form floating multicellular spheroids (spheroids) in a dish with a positively charged surface in primary culture. In this report we show that the conditioned medium of the early time period of the culture exhibited biologically defined activity that promoted the assembly of isolated hepatocytes to floating spheroid. This activity was present only in the initial 6-hour conditioned medium; it was highest in the initial 2 h of culture and gradually decreased over 6 h and was not detected thereafter for 7 days. The conditioned medium appeared to inhibit the disintegration of spheroids that occurred during transfer to a new positively charged dish in the presence of either new or conditioned medium collected after day 4. Furthermore, disintegrated spheroids again assembled to form floating spheroid in the presence of the conditioned medium. Since the activity present in the conditioned medium was linearly dose-responsive to the inoculated viable cell number but not to that of dead cells, some factors responsible for the activity were probably produced by the viable cells during only a short time in culture.

Abstract
Overnight monitoring using pulse oximeter was performed on 10 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (mean age, 22; mean %FVC, 26.6%; mean PaCO2, 54.1 Torr; mean PaO2 76.6 Torr). At the same time, spinal deformity and obesity were examined. In 4 patients, the measurement of the chest and abdominal wall movements were performed by using a respisomnograph. In 5 patients, nocturnal desaturation below 95% occurred despite normal daylight blood gas tension. In the other 5 patients with hypercapnea of over 50 Torr, nocturnal desaturation below 85% occurred, and 3 patients required oxygen supplementation treatment using a low concentration of oxygen. In 4 patients with hypercapnea over 50 Torr, cuirass-assisted respirators were used and they prevented mild nocturnal desaturation, but did not have much effect on severe nocturnal desaturation. Nocturnal desaturation was associated not only with hypopnea and hypoventilation, but with normal chest and abdominal wall movement using cuirass-assisted respirators. It seemed that desaturation with normal respiratory pattern can be attributed to ventilation-perfusion mismatching. The severity of the desaturation did not always correlate to the spinal deformity and the obesity.

Abstract
Adult rat hepatocytes formed floating multicellular spheroids in primary culture in an uncoated plastic dish with a positively charged surface. Cells in the spheroids formed in such a simple way were similar to those formed in dishes coated with proteoglycan fraction isolated from rat liver reticulin fibers; in both cases, cells maintained high ability to produce albumin and poor ability to proliferate in response to epidermal growth factor. Coating dishes with albumin was also helpful in spheroid formation; coating with 2-hydroxymethyl methacrylate resulted in formation of incomplete spheroids. Elimination of serum factors was essential for the formation of spheroids; when cells were washed with serum-containing medium before seeding or if the medium was replaced with a serum-containing medium, spheroid formation was completely inhibited. Collagens, fibronectin, and laminin, all of which promote the adhesion and spreading of hepatocytes on substrates, inhibited spheroid formation. Furthermore, collagens disintegrated spheroids, and cells in the monolayer initiated proliferation. Thus, two distinct, mutually exclusive features of primary culture of adult hepatocytes apparently exist; monolayer culture with proliferative activity in an adherent environment and spheroid culture with poor proliferative activity and high albumin-producing ability in a nonadherent environment.

Abstract
Adult rat hepatocytes formed floating multicellular spheroids, when they were cultured with proteoglycan fraction isolated from rat liver reticulin fibers. Cells in the spheroid showed only low growth activity. Albumin production by the spheroids increased up to 1.5 micrograms/micrograms DNA/day (180 micrograms/mg Protein/day) during the first 6 days and remained constant thereafter. In contrast, the albumin production by the monolayer markedly decreased after 4 days. The spheroid culture appears to be more suitable than the monolayer in studying differentiated functions of adult hepatocytes.

Abstract
The sugar chains of transferrin samples, purified from sera of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and of healthy individuals, were released quantitatively as radioactive oligosaccharides by hydrazinolysis followed by N-acetylation and NaB3H4 reduction. Comparative study of their structure by serial lectin column chromatography, by Bio-Gel P-4 column chromatography, and by sequential exoglycosidase digestion revealed that prominently altered glycosylation is commonly found in the hepatoma transferrins, although they all contain two complex-type asparagine-linked sugar chains in one molecule like in the case of normal transferrins. The alteration is quite various, including the increase of highly branched sugar chains, of those with the Gal beta 1----4(Fuc alpha 1----3)GlcNAc beta 1----and the Neu5Ac alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----groups in their outer chain moieties and of those with a fucosylated trimannosyl core. Many but not all of the hepatoma transferrin samples contained a small amount of a bisected biantennary sugar chain, which was not detected in the normal transferrin samples.

Abstract
Adult rat hepatocytes seeded in a noncoated plastic dish containing serum-free medium formed a monolayer within 24 h of culture. Those seeded in a dish coated with a proteoglycan fraction isolated from rat liver reticulin fibers attached to the dish but did not spread within 4 h, and then gradually assembled to form floating spherical aggregates (spheroids) with a diameter of 120 +/- 40 micron, within 72 h. The proteoglycan fraction appeared to contain dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate and an unidentified glycosaminoglycan in its glycan moieties by glycosaminoglycan analysis after pronase digestion and high molecular weight proteoglycan molecules (mw: over 300,000 and about 200,000) by SDS-PAGE analysis. Cells seeded in dishes coated with these defined glycosaminoglycans and heparin assembled to form hemispheroids and multilayer islands, but not floating spheroids, within 72 h of culture. Dermatan sulfate had a stronger ability to induce hemispheroids than heparan sulfate or heparin. As the hemispheroid and multilayer islands were the intermediate form between monolayer and floating spheroids, the glycosaminoglycan moieties of the proteoglycan fraction were thought to participate in the formation of spheroid.

Abstract
The amino-terminal peptides of type III procollagen (PIIIP) in the urine of 40 patients with various liver diseases were determined with a commercial radioimmunoassay kit. The level of urinary PIIIP (uPIIIP) was correlated well with serum PIIIP (sPIIIP) in 9 patients, the coefficient of correlation being r = 0.836 (p less than 0.01) and the regression line being y = 1.42x + 24. Urinary PIIIP consisted of at least 4 different molecular species with molecular weights of 49 k, 18 k, 10 k and 4.6 k as estimated by column chromatography on Sephadex G-100. Furthermore. uPIIIP was found to be significantly elevated in acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and other liver diseases, in which the elevation of sPIIIP has been reported by others. The mean values +/- standard deviations of uPIIIP were 44.0 +/- 32.0, 60.4 +/- 32.0, 62.0 +/- 46.5, 53.0 +/- 27.1 and 48.1 +/- 22.8 ng/ml for the respective liver diseases, and 13.2 +/- 4.5 for the non-hepatic disease group.

Abstract
We applied a modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the measurement of human plasma fibronectin and determined the level of plasma fibronectin in 90 patients with various liver diseases and 10 normal subjects. Diagnoses were made by liver biopsy under peritoneoscopy. Plasma fibronectin was significantly decreased in liver cirrhosis patients, but not in acute hepatitis or chronic hepatitis patients. Decreased plasma fibronectin was correlated poorly with 18 laboratory tests, including liver function tests, and inflammatory marker determinations performed prior to peritoneoscopy. A correlation was found between the decreased plasma fibronectin and the severity of fibrotic, inflammatory and necrotic changes of the liver. These results suggested that the level of plasma fibronectin may reflect the severity of tissue injury resulting from chronic liver diseases.

Abstract
The structure of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBs) recognized by anti-HBs antibody was analyzed by western blotting using anti-HBs sera obtained from normal subjects, from rabbits immunized with purified HBs and commercially available goat serum. The HBs used had 7 components of 24 K, 27 K, 33 K, 36 K, 39 K, 43 K and 67-72 K daltons. Goat anti-HBs serum bound all of these components, while human and rabbit anti-HBs sera bound only two components (60 K and 54 K daltons), which were hardly visible in the gel even by silver staining. Mixing the 24 K and 27 K components, and the 24 K and 43 K components without reducing reagent produced several polymerized forms of HBs components including 60 K and 54 K polypeptides, which were recognized by anti-HBs rabbit serum. Other combinations of HBs components did not yield any new polymeric forms. Thus, it was concluded that the formation of anti-HBs antibody in normal subjects might predominantly require an antigenic structure of polymeric forms of specific combinations of HBs polypeptides, other than previously known antigenic determinants.

Abstract
A 21-year-old man with acute retinal necrosis showed a marked increase in the convalescent titer to herpes simplex type 1 virus, especially in the aqueous humor obtained by anterior chamber paracentesis. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we tried to detect the herpesvirus antigen in the circulating immune complex obtained from this patient. The immune complex contained an antigen or antigens that reacted with antiherpes simplex type 1 antibody.

Abstract
The relationship between the receptors for the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the C3d fragment of complement was investigated at the molecular level. In the presence of cell-bound C3, virus binding was enhanced in EBV genome-carrying lines. An identical effect could be elicited by C3d at one-quarter the weight amount; C3b and methylamine-treated C3 had no effect on virus binding. The minimum concentration of C3 which produced significant enhancement was 25 micrograms/ml. Virus binding increases were observed only after 20 min of complement-cell co-incubation. The response was not noted with EBV-negative lines and was independent of virus strain assayed (B95-8 and P3HR-1). These studies suggest that the binding sites for the two moieties are distinct, although they both involve the same cell surface complex. The two receptors are believed to display cooperativity.

Abstract
Experimental hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in rats did not take up intravenously administered indocyanine green (ICG) and trypan blue, while surrounding tissue did. The lack of ICG uptake was also observed by peritoneoscopy in patients with HCC. The contrast between ICG-stained cirrhotic nodules and HCC tumors was intensified with infrared photography. Non-uptake of dyes by HCC cells may enable discrimination between tumors and normal cells.

Abstract
Radioiodinated cell-surface antigens of Chang liver cells recognized with anti-liver-specific membrane lipoprotein (anti-LP-1) and anti-Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (anti-THGP) rabbit antibodies were analyzed by the immunoprecipitation followed by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The analysis revealed that the antigens precipitated with anti-LP-1 were heterogeneous in molecular species consisting of 2 major and 5 minor polypeptides with molecular weights ranging from 36 X 10(3) (36 K) to 250 K daltons. That with anti-urinary THGP was a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 67 K daltons, which was different from urinary THGP in molecular size, and was designated hepatic THGP.

Abstract
The expression of receptors for Helix pomatia (HP) haemagglutinin, a T cell marker, was assayed on human lymphocytes cultivated with K562 or allogeneic lymphocytes. The receptor was detected on the cells after neuraminidase treatment by reactivity with FITC conjugated HP. By affinity chromatography the lymphocyte populations were separated into 3 subsets: (1) a subset which did not attach to the lectin column; (2) and (3) two subsets attaching with different avidities, and therefore eluting with different concentrations of the lectin-binding sugar hapten. The subsets were characterized for T cell markers, HP and E receptors, the B cell marker SIg and also for Fc receptors, and were tested for lytic potential against K562 and allogeneic blasts. A high proportion of HP receptor positive T blasts did not attach to the lectin column, and thus had low avidity HP receptors, confirming that activation of T lymphocytes is accompanied by decreased expression of T markers. The passed fraction which was enriched in blasts had the strongest cytotoxic function, while the fraction rich in cells with high avidity HP receptors and containing mainly small cells, had weak activity. This was true for both the anti-K562 and allospecific activities. Thus the phenotypic characteristics of the cells exerting the two types of lytic function were similar. The distribution of the lytic potential in the three subsets correlated with the presence of E and EA receptor positive blasts.

Abstract
Polyvalent serum directed against C3 receptors was employed in an attempt to block Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) binding to virus receptor-containing cell lines. The serum eliminated 90% of virus binding to Daudi and BJAB, lines which express only the C3d receptor. Raji and Ramos cells, which express the C3d, C3b and C3bi receptors, still adsorbed 70% of their virus capacity in the presence of excess antiserum. These effects were independent of the virus strain. In the light of previous reports, these data imply that, although the two receptors, EBV and C3d, are closely associated, the binding sites of EBV and complement are distinct. Additionally, an unusual EBV substrain-specific receptor found on U698 and P3HR-1/ASNP lines was shown to be independent of complement receptors.

Abstract
Hybrids obtained by the fusion of PUT, an ouabain and TG-resistant subline of the Burkitt lymphoma(BL)-derived P3HR-1 line, with hemopoietic cells of various differentiation types were tested for their membrane and intracellular immunoglobulin expression. PUT cells carry no membrane immunoglobulin, but contained intracellular 61K mu chain and kappa chain. The PUTKO-1 hybrid, derived from the fusion of PUT with the erythroleukemia line K562 contains no detectable immunoglobulin. NAMPUT, a hybrid between PUT and the IgM-lambda-producing BL line Namalwa, synthetizes cellular mu, lambda and kappa chains, but its surface-Ig is exclusively mu-lambda. Two different mu chains could be detected, both precipitated by either anti-mu or anti-lambda sera. Immunoprecipitation with anti-kappa precipitated neither kappa nor mu. PUTRAL was derived by fusing PUT with Rael, an unusual surface-IgG-lambda-carrying BL line. In this hybrid, the ability to synthesize gamma and lambda chains has been eclipsed, but two mu chains are present: one corresponding to the truncated 61K chain of PUT, and a normal-sized 74K. Between 20 and 30% of the cells stain for surface IgM.

Abstract
The four major Epstein-Barr virion envelope components were separated by column chromatography and reconstituted into artificial liposomes. These liposomes were tested for their ability to bind selectively to Epstein-Barr virus receptor-positive cells. Only when the two high-molecular-weight glycoproteins, VE1 and VE2, were present together was a stable binding complex formed. The addition of the other virion envelope components did not increase the levels of binding. This binding was inhibited by unlabeled viable virions and by neutralizing antisera, which recognized the two components. Adsorption of viable virus was also eliminated by the antisera. The enzyme susceptibility pattern of the cell-liposome interaction is similar to that of the virus-cell interaction, thus confirming the specificity of the binding site. A model for Epstein-Barr virus binding in which VE1 and VE2 coordinately recognize the same binding site is presented.

Abstract
Hybrids derived from the fusion of cell lines representing different maturation stages were studied for their membrane and cellular immunoglobulin expression. The hybrids can be subdivided into 3 groups, with one common parental line in each group. In the first group, Raji cells represent the common parent: it contains small amounts of membrane and cytoplasmic mu (mu) and kappa (kappa) chains. In the second group, PUT is the common parent, an ouabain and TG-resistant subline of the BL-derived P3HR-1 line. PUT contains a truncated intracellular mu chain. The third group consists of hybrids between K562, an EBV-negative human erythroleukemia line and 2 different BL lines. Membrane-immunoglobulin expression was intermediate between the parental lines in the first two groups derived from the fusion of 2 BL lines. In the third group, hybridization with the K562 cell suppressed the membrane-Ig expression of the B-cell partner. Total cellular immunoglobulin determinations showed that some cells synthesized light chains in excess of heavy chains, others contained an excess of heavy chains, while still others had equal amounts of heavy and light chains. The hybrids showed a variety of patterns, including amplification of the parental phenotypes, appearance of new phenotypic combinations, and eclipse of one or both parental phenotypes. A comparison of the total and the membrane-associated immunoglobulin patterns suggests independent handling of intracellular and membrane immunoglobulin synthesis.

Abstract
Giant axonal neuropathy in two siblings was reported. The fact that two cases are found in the same family supports this disorder is genetically determined and recessively inherited. These two cases, similar to the cases reported in literature, had chronic peripheral neuropathy and CNS symptoms, and also petit mal absence and mental retardation in elder sister (case 1) and precocious puberty in younger sister (case 2). Sural nerve biopsies in both cases disclosed axonal swellings or giant axons filled with aggregated neurofilaments, and that aggregated intermediate-sized filaments were found within cytoplasm of Schwann cells, endothelial cells of intra and extra-neurial capillaries and of extra-neurial arterioles, perineurial cells and endoneurial fibroblasts. Skin biopsies in both cases disclosed that aggregated intermediate-sized filaments were also found within cytoplasm of fibroblasts, Langerhans' cells, melanocytes and endothelial cells of capillaries, lymphatic vessels and arterioles. The diagnosis of giant axonal neuropathy can be made only by the findings in skin biopsy.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was labelled with 3H-thymidine and purified about 1000-fold from the culture medium by ultracentrifugation on 5 to 30% dextran gradients. The presence of the virus was monitored by radioactivity and Epstein-Barr virus-determined nuclear antigen (EBNA) induction in sensitive indicator cells (Ramos). Peaks for both activities occurred in the 17 to 18% dextran fractions. Unlabelled virus recovered in the peak fraction was labelled with 125I. Both thymidine and 125I-labelled purified virus bound quantitatively to receptor-positive Burkitt lymphoma-derived cell lines but not to EBV-receptor-negative T-lymphocyte-derived cell lines. Thymidine-labelled virus that was allowed to bind to Raji cells was present in the interior of briefly trypsinized cells after 3 h incubation at 37 degrees C. The results provide a convenient method for detecting the EBV receptor by radioactively labelled virus.

Abstract
Radio-labelled Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was utilized in a direct binding assay to detect the presence of EBV receptors. The sensitivity of this method was affirmed by the detection of EBV-receptors on three EV-carrying cell lines that have previously been reported as receptor negative. Two laboratory substrains of EBV, derived from the cell lines B95-8 and P3HR-I (designated B and P virus respectively), were tested in the binding assay. The main repcptor prototype adsorbed both viral strains without apparent distinction. In contrast, two lines, a Swedish EBV-negative B-cell lymphoma (U698) and a virus non-producer subline of the receptor-negative P3HR-1 line, adsorbed P virus selectively but failed to adsorb B virus.

Abstract
Membrane Ig and insulin receptors were assayed in the EBV-negative Ramos lymphoma line and its EBV-converted sublines by surface fluorescence. 125I-protein A-binding assay, immunoprecipitation, and insulin receptor assay. The original Ramos line expressed surface IgM but not IgD and had a low concentration of insulin receptors. Ten of 10 converted lines expressed IgD and a variable but usually high insulin-binding capacity. Molecular weight analysis of immunoprecipitated Ig showed the presence of 2 mu-chains and 2 delta-chains. One of each heavy chain type could be characterized as membrane Ig, whereas the other was cytoplasmic. Antisera against the lambda-chain precipitated mu and delta heavy chains as well, indicating that the delta-chain expressed on the membrane of the EBV-converted Ramos lines is bound to the lambda light chain. The results show that the differentiation of a Burkitt lymphoma line is not completely "frozen" and can be induced to change in a more "activated" direction by EBV conversion.

Cell surface galactosyl-glycoprotein patterns were compared between Ramos and BJAB, two Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-negative Burkitt lymphoma lines, and their acutely EBV-superinfected and stably EBV-converted derivatives. A major difference between Ramos and its EBV-infected variants was the appearance of a 69,000 mol. wt. galactosyl-glycoprotein (GP69) in the latter. The same phenomenon was found in BJAB along with the additional appearance of a 71,000 mol. wt. galactosyl-glycoprotein (GP71) in the EBV-infected cells. GP71 was present in Ramos and in its EBV-converted derivatives.

Abstract
Membrane Ig and insulin receptors were assayed in the EBV-negative Ramos lymphoma line and its EBV-converted sublines by surface fluorescence. 125I-protein A-binding assay, immunoprecipitation, and insulin receptor assay. The original Ramos line expressed surface IgM but not IgD and had a low concentration of insulin receptors. Ten of 10 converted lines expressed IgD and a variable but usually high insulin-binding capacity. Molecular weight analysis of immunoprecipitated Ig showed the presence of 2 mu-chains and 2 delta-chains. One of each heavy chain type could be characterized as membrane Ig, whereas the other was cytoplasmic. Antisera against the lambda-chain precipitated mu and delta heavy chains as well, indicating that the delta-chain expressed on the membrane of the EBV-converted Ramos lines is bound to the lambda light chain. The results show that the differentiation of a Burkitt lymphoma line is not completely "frozen" and can be induced to change in a more "activated" direction by EBV conversion.

Abstract
The purification procedure for endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase D was improved to yield an enzyme preparation which was homogeneous upon gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme as estimated by Sephadex G-200 column chromatography was 280,000, while SDS-gel electrophoresis after reduction with 2-mercaptoethanol gave a value of 150,000. The purified enzyme did not show any chitinase, hyaluronidase or lysozyme activity. In the presence of exoglycosidases removing peripheral sugars, the endoglycosidase acted on serum glycoproteins such as transferrin and fetuin. The enzyme also hydrolyzed an oligosaccharide, (Man)5(GlcNAc)2, indicating that the peptide portion of substrates does not have much effect on susceptibility to the enzyme.
