Abstract
A patient with severe combined immunodeficiency has been given a transplant of thymic epithelium obtained from short-term culture of normal human thymus. 4 wk after transplantation immunoglobulin was detected and the patient now has normal levels of the three main classes. Functional antibodies of four specificities have been detected. An increase in reactivity to allogeneic cells and phytohaemagglutinin has been observed, with an increase in E rosettes; a positive delayed skin test to candida antigen is now present. The patient has shown reversal of wasting and has been free of infection for 7 months since receiving the transplant. It appears that under certain circumstances thymic epithelium reconstitutes both T and B cell functions.

Abstract
Malic dehydrogenase (MDH) of the Formosan Philippine and Indonesian Strains of Schistosoma japonicum and 3 subspecies of snails, Oncomelania hupensis formosana, O. h. quadrasi, and O. h. lindoensis were identified by disc electrophoresis with 10.5% acrylamide gel columns using tris-malic buffer. Male worm extracts of S. japonicum demonstrated 3, 2, and 2 clear MDH patterns and female worm extracts showed patterns of 2, 1 and 1 for the Formosan, Philippine and Indonesian strains of the parasite, respectively. MDH patterns were the same for all 3 subspecies of snails; one major and one minor band being found in all.

Abstract
Two sera demonstrated non-HLA lymphocytotoxicity on the basis of reactivity with the cells of siblings genotypically identical to the serum donors for the major histocompatibility complex. These two sera, Bl and Caf, once contaminating HLA antibodies were removed by absorption with pooled platelets, demonstrated allogeneic lymphocytotoxicity that was restricted to T lymphocytes. Reactivity of the absorbed sera segregated independently of the major histocompatibility complex in 3 of 12 families tested. Unlike both cold lymphotoxins and HLA antibodies, the absorbed sera showed little temperature sensitivity against allogeneic cells, although reactivity of the Bl serum to autologous cells and to cells of the donor's HLA identical sibling did show a decrease with increasing temperature and restriction of activity to the 19S-containing fraction. Granulocytes were unreactive with the absorbed sera. Such sera may provide probes of minor transplantation antigens or markers, or both, of lymphoid subpopulations.

Abstract
A black female with inherited medullary thyroid carcinoma and pheochromocytoma was a mosaic for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase types A and B in normal tissues (blood, thyroid, and adrenal gland); both the medullary carcinoma and pheochromocytoma tissue showed a B pattern only. This finding suggests a single clone origin for each of the tumors. Other inherited tumors similarly studied in man have appeared to be multiclonal in origin.

Abstract
The genotype of the patient Henrietta Lacks from whose cervical carcinoma the HeLa cell was derived was deduced from the phenotypes of her husband and children, and from studies of the HeLa cell. Hemizygous expression of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in HeLa, together with the deduced heterozygosity of Mrs. Lacks, is consistent with clonal origin of her neoplasm.

Abstract
Although certain environmental agents (e.g., cigarette smoking) are known to be causally related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), differential response to their deleterious effects suggests the importance of constitutional (host) factors. The voluminous literature on the familial occurrence of COPD as well as the association between genetically determined serum alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-at) deficiency and COPD, however, reveals many aspects yet to be clarified. Studies of alpha 1-at indicate that neither its nature nor its relationship to COPD is simple. Moreover, other familial factors are likely involved. To obtain a better understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of COPD, both genetic and environmental factors are being examined in a multifaceted investigation. The preliminary observations are summarized. COPD patients have a higher frequency of Pi variant phenotypes than those without lung disease. Among other subjects, both cigarette smoking and Pi variant phenotypes are associated with increased pulmonary function abnormality. Finally, there is familial aggregation of pulmonary impairment that cannot be explained entirely by Pi type or smoking.

Abstract
Ovarian cells from the mosquito Culex tritaeniorhynchus established in continuous tissue cultures have been found to support the growth of Japanese encephalitis virus with titers reaching as high as 10(7.36) MICLD50 per 0.03 ml. Virus-cell cultures were serially subcultured 60 times over 300 days and the virulence of the virus was determined after each passage. A gradual loss in virus titer was observed, with titers always higher in the medium than in the cells. Cytopathogenic effects were not observed in the infected cell cultures, either in primary or subsequent passages. However, the cell growth rate suggested that the cells may have been metabolically or mechanically damaged. The chromosome complement of the cells remained unchanged. Direct-fluorescent antibody studies during early and late passages revealed a loss in virus infectivity from chronically infected cells which may have been due to a gradual decrease in virus replication as the passages increased. The infectivity of virus particles, however, returned to previous levels after passage into fresh cell cultures. The loss of virus particles during serial passage may be correlated with the condition of the cells.

Abstract
Patients previously described with cartilage-hair hypoplasia, a distinctive form of short-limbed dwarfism, have been found to have deficient cell-mediated immunity with intact antibody-mediated immunity. The patient with cartilage-hair hypoplasia described in the present report is unusual in that she had both deficient antibody-mediated immunity and deficient cell-mediated immunity. In addition, she developed severe, vaccine-related paralytic poliomyelitis. This complication suggests that live viral vaccines should not be administered to children with short-limbed dwarfism until the form of short-limbed dwarfism is established and immunologic evaluation is performed when indicated.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharides of S. typhimurium, S. enteritidis and E. coli at wide range of concentrations were used to induce blastogenesis in human and mouse (nude) lymphocytes. Human lymphocytes from peripheral blood showed positive response to at least one source of LPS (stimulation index of 2-9). The optimum concentration resulting in maximum stimulation varied with different individual, sources and concentrations of LPS used. Lymphocytes from cord blood failed to respond to LPS, but had positive response to PHA. All three LPS produced about equally strong mitogenic effects on mouse spleen cells.

Abstract
A relatively small proportion (17 percent) of individuals highly allergic to ragweed were found to develop marked reaginic (immunoglobulin E-mediated) skin sensitivity to a minor ragweed pollen allergen Ra5 (molecular weight 5200). Sensitivity to Ra5 was significantly associated with the possession of a major histocompatibility antigen of the HL-A7 cross-reacting group. This appears to be the first evidence of a strong association between a specific immune response and a specific group of closely related HL-A antigens in man.
