Abstract
Lysis of virus-infected L929 target cells transfected with the H-2 class II IAk gene by class II-restricted influenza virus-specific murine cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones was studied by electron microscopy and compared with lysis of L929 cells by class I-restricted CTL clones. T lymphocytes predominantly approached the basal surface of target cells grown on a plastic dish and also approached uninfected L929 target cells, although virus maturation exhibited no polarity with respect to the cell surface site. After incubation for 30 min, the target cell nuclei began to change: chromatin became irregularly redistributed and aggregated, and the nuclei appeared swollen. Later, electron-dense and -light areas of nuclei became segregated, and the cytoplasm became disorganized with many vacuoles. The ultrastructural changes of target cells during lysis by class I- and class II-restricted CTL clones appeared to be similar. These findings and other cytotoxicity data of class I and class II CTLs are discussed.

Abstract
We analysed regulatory mechanisms of the human T cell response to soluble egg antigen (SEA) of Schistosoma japonicum in vitro. SEA is a crude antigen mixture containing numerous epitopes. We obtained SEA-induced T cell lines from five patients with chronic schistosomiasis japonica, and tested their proliferative response to molecular weight fractions of SEA. Although all T cell lines showed strong responses to crude SEA, there was a heterogeneity in fraction-driven responsiveness. All but one T cell line tested failed to respond to SEA fraction I (mol. wt greater than 18 kD). One patient who was typed as HLA-DQw1/w4, did not show proliferation of CD4+ T cells to fraction I; however, a fraction I-driven helper T cell response was observed when we added HU-11 monoclonal antibody specific for HLA-DQw1/w4. This indicated that the patient had helper T cells to the fraction even though their response was suppressed. Because HLA-DQ had an effect on functional expression of suppressor T cells, it was suggested that there was epitope-specific regulation of the T cell response to SEA, and HLA-DQ-controlled immune suppression might be involved in the regulatory system in human chronic schistosome infection.

Abstract
Because the pulsed dye laser can be transmitted through a thin, flexible quartz fiber a small caliber ureteroscope and flexible ureterorenoscope are applicable. Therefore, the use of a rigid or flexible ureterorenoscope was combined with laser lithotripsy to treat upper urinary tract calculi. All 14 ureteral stones below the pelvic brim were removed successfully with a rigid 7.2F (outer diameter) ureteroscope and 14 of 16 stones above the pelvic brim were removed with a flexible ureterorenoscope. Laser monotherapy was effective in 24 cases and the complementary use of forceps or electrohydraulic lithotripsy was required in 4. Two stones were lost from the visual field during endoscopic manipulation. There was no complication requiring surgical correction. The combined use of these instruments is highly successful and safe for the treatment of upper urinary tract calculi.

Abstract
We have investigated the in vivo antitumor mechanism of natural human tumor necrosis factor (n-TNF) isolated from a culture of human leukemic B cell line (BALL-1), especially its action as an immunomodulator, and found that the in vivo antitumor effect of n-TNF on Meth A sarcoma implanted in BALB/c mice pretreated with monoclonal antibody against T cell-specific surface antigen (Thy-1) was significantly diminished. Furthermore, when BALB/c mice were treated with T cell subset-specific monoclonal antibodies, anti-L3T4 or anti-Lyt-2.2, the antitumor effect of n-TNF on Meth A sarcoma was significantly reduced. Therefore, it was suggested that the in vivo antitumor mechanism of n-TNF might involve a T cell-mediated immunological route.

Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was evaluated for diagnosis of experimental or naturally occurring Fasciola sp. infections in cattle. The positive rate for the ELISA in calves inoculated with Fasciola metacercariae were 21.1% by 2 weeks postinoculation (PI), 94.6% by 4 weeks PI and 100% by 6-21 weeks PI. The positive rate for the immunodiffusion test (Ouchterlony test) reached 91.7% by 2 weeks PI, however, it dropped to 77.8% by 10 weeks PI. The positive rate for the fecal egg examination was 0% by 10 weeks PI, 77.8% by 12 weeks PI and 100% by 14-21 weeks PI. The practical application of ELISA was tested by using 165 cows raised under field condition. All the 24 cows that were positive both in the fecal egg examination and the Ouchterlony test were ELISA positive. Of the 6 cows that were egg positive and Ouchterlony negative, 5 showed ELISA positive reactions. Of the 27 cows that were egg negative and Ouchterlony positive, 24 were ELISA positive. Of the 108 cows that were egg negative and Ouchterlony negative, 90 were ELISA negative. However, the other 18 cows had ELISA positive reactions. Our results suggested that the ELISA using crude adult antigen was superior to the Ouchterlony test and fecal egg examination for diagnosis of experimental or naturally occurring Fasciola sp. infections in cattle.

Abstract
Flow cytometric analysis of nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid content was performed on 76 primary squamous cell bladder carcinomas treated between January 1970 and December 1975. Patients were followed for a median of 10.1 years. Nuclei were extracted from paraffin-embedded archival material and isolated nuclei were stained with propidium iodide. Of the 76 tumors 73 were evaluable by flow cytometry providing high quality deoxyribonucleic acid histograms: 27 (37 per cent) showed a deoxyribonucleic acid diploid or normal pattern, 17 (23 per cent) exhibited a significant increase in the 4C peak (deoxyribonucleic acid tetraploid) and 29 (40 per cent) showed a distinct aneuploid peak. High grade (grades 3 and 4) and high stage (stages T2 to T4) tumors had a significantly higher incidence of abnormal (either tetraploid or aneuploid) deoxyribonucleic acid patterns than low grade (grades 1 and 2) and low stage (stages Tis/Ta/T1) tumors (p less than 0.005). The 5 and 10-year rate free of disease for patients with deoxyribonucleic acid diploid tumors was 67 per cent compared to 22 and 18 per cent, respectively, for patients with tumors showing abnormal ploidy patterns (p less than 0.0005). At 5 and 10 years after diagnosis an estimated 18 per cent of the patients with deoxyribonucleic acid diploid tumors will die of bladder cancer. In contrast, an estimated 53 per cent of the patients with tetraploid tumors and 82 per cent and 86 per cent of those with aneuploid tumors will die of squamous cell bladder carcinoma by 5 and 10 years after diagnosis (p less than 0.0001). These results demonstrate that nuclear deoxyribonucleic ploidy measured by flow cytometry is an important objective prognostic variable for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder.

Abstract
We tested effects of praziquantel, an antischistosomal compound, on clinical and immunological parameters of chronic schistosomiasis japonica. Two Japanese patients, who had high antibody titers to Schistosoma japonicum antigens but no fecal schistosome eggs or no or mild symptoms complained, were treated with praziquantel. Within two years after treatment, anti-schistosome antibodies in sera from the patients became negative in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. There was no significant alteration in cellular immunity to the parasite. Although S. japonicum infection is believed to have been eradicated in Japan, our present results seem to suggest the possibility that a few Japanese individuals, who have high anti-schistosome antibody, still harbor live parasites.

Abstract
Morphology of vitrified Sendai virions was studied by transmission type electron microscopy. Almost all the virions appeared to be completely spherical, although their diameters differed. A possibly continuously long nucleocapsid was seen running helically in an envelope. Spikes were seen on the virion surfaces. The results indicate pleomorphism of Sendai virions in size but not in shape.

Abstract
We are reporting a rare case of clivus chordoma with fatal hemorrhage in the posterior fossa. A 38-year-old woman afflicted with sudden onset of severe headache and vomiting. On neurological examination, she was mildly lethargic. She had slight dysarthria and nystagmus, but no cranial nerve abnormalities. Craniogram revealed erosive changes in the right petrous bone. CT scan showed a massive intracerebellar hemorrhage and isodense mass in the sphenoid sinus, which were not enhanced by contrast medium. She became comatose and died 3 days later. No operation was performed. Autopsy revealed massive hemorrhage in the posterior fossa and yellowish, gelatinous tumor extending from the right clivus to the sphenoid sinus. Histological examination showed a chordoma. This case demonstrates that the hemorrhage associated with brain tumor, especially in posterior fossa, produces a significant sudden elevation of intracranial pressure and leads clinically to a rapid loss of consciousness and death soon after the onset.

Abstract
T cell lines specific for Schistosoma japonicum egg Ag were established in vitro from patients with chronic schistosomiasis japonica, and investigated their possible immunopathologic roles by testing lymphokines production and in vitro granuloma formation assay. All lines tested had surface phenotypes of CD3+ CD4+ CD8-, and showed S. japonicum soluble egg Ag (SEA)-specific proliferation requiring HLA-DR-restricted Ag presentation. Of these fractions of SEA separated by gel filtration, Fraction II (m.w. 7,000 to 18,000) and III (m.w. 7,000) induced strong proliferation of T cell lines, whereas fraction I (m.w. 18,000+) failed to induce detectable proliferation to any T cell lines tested. One of the T cell lines was cloned by micromanipulation: two of eight clones responded only to fraction II, and six to both fractions II and III. We observed that four of eight clones tested produced IL-2 in response to SEA, and three of them were able to transfer S. japonicum egg-specific granulomatous hypersensitivity in vitro to an HLA haplo-identical individual without previous schistosome infection. These immunopathologic functions of T cell clones seemed to be activated by at least two distinct epitopes of SEA. Our present observations suggest that at least two distinct CD4+ human T cells, both of which recognize epitopes expressed on SEA molecules of less than 18 kDa, might have critical roles in granulomatous hypersensitivity to eggs of S. japonicum in humans.

Abstract
T cell lines (TCLs) specific for Schistosoma japonicum egg antigen were established from a patient with chronic schistosomiasis japonica to investigate the regulatory mechanism of S.japonicum egg antigen-driven T cell responses in man. All five TCLs tested were CD2+, CD4+, CD8-, and were strongly proliferative only to S. japonicum egg antigen in the absence of exogenous IL-2. All but one TCL produced IL-2-like lymphokines in vitro, indicating their helper T cell functions. One TCL, SjE-3, failed to produce IL-2-like lymphokines. Moreover, this TCL suppressed the specific proliferation of autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes to S. japonicum egg antigen. This TCL produced a soluble suppressor factor(s). These functional diversities among established TCLs were also confirmed by cloned T cells. Our observations might suggest that the regulatory system through helper and suppressor T-T interactions somehow involved in T cell responses to the egg antigen in human chronic schistosomiasis japonica.

Abstract
Cells exposed to intact, noninfectious influenza virus were shown to be recognized by class I-restricted anti-influenza cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Both internal and external proteins derived from virions were processed by cells for CTL recognition. Sensitization required the inactivation of viral neuraminidase activity and could be inhibited by preventing fusion of viral and cellular membranes. These findings are important in designing vaccines to elicit CTL responses, since they demonstrate that cells can process intact, exogenous proteins for recognition by CTLs and suggest that such processing depends on introduction of exogenous proteins into the cytoplasm.

Abstract
Molluscicidal activity of B-2 (sodium 2,5-dichloro-4-bromophenol; called as Phebrol and registered in WHO as OMS 3012) was evaluated in a laboratory and the field trials were performed in two different localities in Yueyang city, China, for control of Oncomelania hupensis. B-2 was effective against O. hupensis both in the laboratory and in the field. A dosage of 50 g/m2 in 10% granular form or 20 ml/m2 in 25% liquid form of B-2 would be recommendable as a standard mollusciciding dose for control of O. hupensis.

Abstract
We have recently shown that murine target cells can be sensitized for lysis by class I-restricted influenza virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) using noninfectious influenza virus. Sensitization is dependent on inactivation of viral neuraminidase activity (which can be achieved by heating virus); and requires fusion of viral and cellular membranes. In the present study, we have examined recognition of antigens derived from heat-treated virus by cloned CTL lines induced by immunization with infectious virus. Target cells sensitized with heat-treated virus were recognized by all 11 CTL clones that were specific for internal virion proteins (nucleoprotein and basic polymerase 1), and by one of six clones specific for the major viral glycoprotein (the hemagglutinin). Immunization of mice with heat-treated virus primed their splenocytes for secondary in vitro CTL responses. CTL generated in this manner recognized target cells infected with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing cloned influenza virus gene products. These findings indicate that both integral membrane proteins and internal proteins that comprise virions can be processed by antigen-presenting cells for recognition by class I-restricted CTL. It also appears that not all hemagglutinin determinants recognized on virus-infected cells are presented by cells sensitized with heat-treated virus.

Abstract
Two operative scar lines remain after bilateral cleft lip repair. A method has been devised in which the two scar lines are reduced into one. The characteristics of this method include (1) an inconspicuous scar, (2) elevation of the nasal tip using the prolabium, (3) repair of the whistling deformity, (4) a natural-looking mustache, (5) formation of a pout, and (6) psychological benefits. Good results have been obtained with this method. The disadvantage of this method is the maxillary retardation. However, this does not occur in adults and can be corrected easily in children.

Abstract
Nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ploidy studies with use of paraffin-embedded specimens were performed by flow cytometry on 52 adrenocortical carcinomas. Specimens were prepared by the combined techniques of Hedley and Vindeløv. Clinical course was obtained by chart review and follow-up examination. Nine (17%) tumors had a normal (diploid) DNA pattern, 13 (25%) were DNA tetraploid, and 30 (58%) were DNA aneuploid. The DNA aneuploid group was subdivided: 18 tumors with one stemline and 12 tumors with two stemlines of abnormal DNA cells. For tumors that were resected for cure, the 5-year Kaplan-Meier disease-free survival rates of the five patients with DNA diploid tumors and of the six patients with DNA tetraploid tumors were 80% and 33%, respectively. For 21 patients of whom 12 had one-stemline and nine had two-stemline DNA aneuploid tumors, the survival was 67% and 0%, respectively. Following palliative resection, the 4-year survival rates of the four patients with DNA diploid, seven with DNA tetraploid, five (omitting one with short follow-up) with one-stemline DNA aneuploid, and three with two-stemline DNA aneuploid tumors were 0%, 0%, 0%, and 33%, respectively. Although adrenocortical carcinoma is in general markedly aggressive, the addition of nuclear DNA ploidy studies may help to identify certain groups of patients who have a relatively favorable prognosis.

Abstract
Nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid ploidy studies with paraffin-embedded archival tumor specimens were performed by flow cytometry on extracted nuclei from 56 Wilms tumors. Before the era of chemotherapy 9 patients had a 33 per cent survival rate at 5 years. No significant correlation between deoxyribonucleic acid ploidy pattern and survival was seen in this early group of patients. Since 1960, 47 patients underwent radical nephrectomy and received chemotherapy. Deoxyribonucleic acid histograms in this group were normal in 13 tumors, while 23 tumors exhibited a tetraploid pattern (greater than 10 per cent nuclei in the G2 peak) and 11 showed an aneuploid pattern. Survival rates according to deoxyribonucleic acid ploidy pattern showed that 100 per cent of the patients with a normal or aneuploid histogram pattern were alive at 2 and 5 years. Patients with a deoxyribonucleic acid tetraploid pattern had a significantly worse survival of 74 and 69 per cent at 2 and 5 years (p less than 0.02 and less than 0.01), respectively. Tumors with a normal or aneuploid histogram pattern for all stages and a deoxyribonucleic acid tetraploid pattern for pathological stage I or II were associated with a 2 and 5-year survival rate of 100 and 97 per cent, respectively. However, patients with stages III and IV tumors with a deoxyribonucleic acid tetraploid pattern had a significantly worse survival of 25 per cent at 2 and 5 years (p less than 0.0001). Measurement of nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid ploidy identifies a patient group who are at high risk for treatment failure, that is stages III and IV tumors with a deoxyribonucleic acid tetraploid pattern.

Abstract
To characterize the mechanisms of induction and regulation of the cell population involved in granuloma formation around eggs of Schistosoma japonicum, we utilized a simple method of in vitro experiments. Lyt1+2-T cells were essential for in vitro responses to the intact S. japonicum eggs, which were assumed to be comparable to in vivo granulomatous responses. T-cell responses seemed to be macrophage-dependent, and responding T cells produced IL-2-like activities in the culture supernatant. Sera taken from chronically infected mice acted as regulatory factors to these T-cell responses as was the case in in vivo granuloma formation. The method used here was simple and highly informative for the studies on pathogenesis of schistosomiasis japonica.

Abstract
To learn the possible alteration of immune response, hemolytic plaque-forming cells (PFC) produced in the spleen of Schistosoma japonicum infected mice treated with Praziquantel and untreated group were counted. There was no significant difference in the immunesuppression percentage between the treated and untreated groups 1 and 3 weeks after treatment. In 5 weeks after treatment, however, the immunesuppression percentage in the treated mice was markedly reduced in comparison with that of the untreated group. Recovery from immunesuppression appears to be associated with elimination or impairment of adult worms.

Abstract
Nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid ploidy was determined in 206 samples of well differentiated clear cell renal carcinoma via a previously described technique on paraffin-embedded archival material. Grade 2 tumors had a higher incidence of abnormal deoxyribonucleic acid patterns than grade 1 tumors. Of stage 1 well differentiated clear cell renal tumors 60 per cent had a normal deoxyribonucleic acid histogram pattern, whereas 67 per cent of higher stage tumors had an abnormal pattern. The existence of abnormal nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid histogram patterns in the primary tumor tissue had a significant correlation with subsequent development of metastatic disease, independent of tumor grade and stage. The 10-year actuarial survival rate was 62 per cent for patients with normal deoxyribonucleic acid histograms and 37 per cent for patients with abnormal patterns. These results demonstrate that nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid ploidy measured by flow cytometry is an important variable in the classification and determination of prognosis for patients with clear cell renal carcinoma.

Abstract
Nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ploidy studies with paraffin-embedded archival tumor specimen blocks were performed by flow cytometry on extracted nuclei from 75 pheochromocytomas. Clinical details, specifically including histologic findings, biochemical studies, and ultimate fate, were investigated. Preparation of paraffin-embedded tissue specimens was carried out by the technique of Hedley et al. and stained with propidium iodide according to the method of Vindeløv et al. Twenty-three tumors showed a normal DNA histogram, 31 showed significant increase in the 4C (DNA tetraploid) peak, and 21 exhibited a DNA aneuploid peak. To define a subset of patients who had either died as a result of pheochromocytoma or had been followed for a minimum of 10 years, 13 patients were excluded. Of the remaining 62 patients, all of the 18 patients with a normal DNA histogram followed a benign clinical course, including normal fractionated urinary catecholamines. However, eight (31%) of the 26 patients classified DNA tetraploid/polyploid and seven (39%) of the 18 patients exhibiting a DNA aneuploid peak had evidence of malignancy; these two groups had significantly more malignant tumors (p less than 0.05 and p less than 0.02, respectively) than the normal DNA group. Flow cytometric DNA ploidy measurements of isolated nuclei seem to provide useful prognostic information for patients with pheochromocytoma.

Abstract
Use of the Hamburger-Salmon soft agar assay method for in vitro chemotherapy sensitivity testing of samples of renal cell carcinoma has been somewhat limited by a relatively low proliferation/evaluability rate for this tumor type (approximately 50%). The tritiated thymidine ([ 3H]-TdR) incorporation assay method of Tanigawa et al. (Cancer Res., 42: 2159, 1982) was compared to a standard optical colony counting assay technique. Fifty-seven different primary and five metastatic fresh samples of human renal cell carcinoma were studied. Evaluability rate by the [3H]-TdR assay was 90% (greater than or equal to 300 cpm control). In comparison, evaluability rate by optical colony counting was 43% for this group of tumors. [3H]-TdR incorporation increased with increasing tumor grade and increasing stage. Spindle cell tumors showed significantly higher cpm than other cell types. Twenty-three primary tumors were evaluable by both [3H]-TdR and colony counting methods. The correlation coefficient ("r") for regression lines for drug sensitivity data points (optical counting vs. [3H]-TdR) of these individual experiments ranged from 0.50 to 0.99 with a mean r +/- S.D. of 0.76 +/- 0.15. For all 260 paired drug response observations of 23 tumors exposed to different drugs, the correlation was very good with r = 0.71. Since the [3H]-TdR assay has an evaluability rate of approximately 90% for renal cell carcinoma, gives drug sensitivity information which correlates well with the colony counting endpoint and yields chemotherapy sensitivity information four days after sample accession, the [3H]-TdR assay may be a more useful method for study of human renal cell carcinoma in vitro chemotherapy sensitivity testing than standard colony counting techniques.

Abstract
Murine cells (L929, MC57G, and P815 mastocytoma) defectively infected with the egg-adapted vaccine strain of mumps virus were found to be susceptible to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated lysis. In vitro secondary, but not in vivo primary, generated CTL caused cytolysis of these targets in an H-2-restricted manner. UV-inactivated-mumps virus-coated murine cells were also found to be susceptible to CTL-mediated lysis. Comparisons of murine CTL-mediated lysis by three paramyxoviruses (mumps, Sendai, and Newcastle disease viruses) indicated that no cross-reactivity occurred. The CTL response with mumps virus exhibited specific unresponsiveness patterns, as influenced by the H-2 K/D regions of the mouse strains, that were partially different from those of Sendai virus and Newcastle disease virus.

Abstract
The involvement of inoculated virus antigens in the induction of target susceptibility to cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated lysis was investigated using heat-inactivated influenza virus, PR8 strain, and various inhibitors in comparison to the cases for live or ultraviolet (u.v.)-irradiated influenza and Sendai viruses. Induction of target susceptibility with heated PR8 was not inhibited by cycloheximide and actinomycin D as in the case of u.v.-irradiated Sendai virus, whereas live virus and u.v.-irradiated PR8 were inhibited under conditions which suppress protein synthesis. Induction of target susceptibility with the live and inactivated PR8 tested was suppressed in the presence of chloroquine, contrary to the case of Sendai virus, and was dependent on the cleavage type of influenza virus haemagglutinin. These findings suggest that the viral target antigens recognized by CTL in heated PR8-coated targets came from inoculated virus proteins, whereas those in PR8-infected or u.v.-irradiated PR8-coated targets involved newly synthesized viral proteins. The former viral target antigens seem to be transferred or processed from the endosome, depending on low pH fusion in the endosomes into which they were engulfed. In this point, the induction of viral target antigens with heated PR8 was different from that induced by u.v.-inactivated Sendai virus. Targets made with heated PR8 were recognized by cross-reactive CTL over the HA subtype.

Abstract
The susceptibility of analbuminemic rats (Nagase analbuminemic rats; NAR) to induction of bladder cancer by oral N-[4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-thiazolyl]formamide (FANFT) was studied. Male NAR and Sprague-Dawley rats (SD) were fed normal diet or normal diet supplemented with 0.2% FANFT for 10 weeks and killed in week 52. Bladder cancer was found in 5 of 24 SD (21%) but not in 18 NAR (0%). Proliferative lesions of the bladder epithelium, which are considered to be precancerous or more advanced than precancerous changes, were found in 16 of 24 SD (67%), but in only 4 of 18 NAR (22%). NAR showed lower susceptibility than control SD to induction of bladder cancer by FANFT.

Abstract
In this paper a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia in the left parietal bone is described. This 51-year-old female was admitted to our hospital for a head injury on January 12, 1983, and a flat, painless hump (7 X 7cm) was incidentally found in the left parietal region. Plain x-ray film of the skull showed a multicystic lesion with slightly sclerotic margin in the left parietal bone, and outward bulging of the outer table without destruction of the inner table in tangential view. CT scan at the level of bone window clearly demonstrated the same abnormality and intradiploic mass separated by some bony septums. Angiography revealed no positive findings, but RI bone scan (99m Tc) showed an abnormal uptake in this lesion. On February 1, 1983, operation was performed to verify the nature of the lesion and for relief of the left-sided headache. Post operative course was uneventful. Histological findings of this mass were of inactive fibrous dysplasia with fibrous tissue replacing the normal bone and surrounded by island or scorlled edge of bones. Monostotic fibrous dysplasia in the cranial vault is rare. It is often possible to make diagnosis in this disease on the clinical course, plain x-ray film and CT scan showing cystic findings and outer table bulging, and RI scan demonstrating abnormal uptake.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Sensitive methods of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using red blood cells (RBC) have been developed and were applied to the detection of anti-sheep red blood cell (SRBC) heterophile antibodies (Ab) present in sera of Schistosoma japonicum (SJ)-infected mice. The indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) was used for the purpose as well. By these methods a significant increase in the heterophile Ab levels was demonstrated in the mice particularly after 6-10 weeks of infection. The heterophile Ab in SJ-infected mice were predominantly immunoglobulins resistant to 2-mercaptoethanol treatment and had temperature-independent reactivity. In an attempt to investigate the immunological specificity of the heterophile Ab, various absorption tests were performed; Davidsohn's differential absorption test revealed that the heterophile Ab were distinct from Forssman antibody, Paul-Bunnell antibody and heterophile agglutinins known to appear in serum sickness. The heterophile Ab were absorbed only with SRBC and goat red blood cells, not with other species of RBC such as human O Rh-, O Rh+, A Rh+, B Rh+, mouse, ox, chicken, horse, rabbit, guinea pig, and rat RBC, or syngeneic tissue homogenates including brain, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, muscle, and thymus. This heterophile antibody response is not a consequence of a specific immune response directed to the antigens of SJ parasites, since absorption of the heterophile Ab with SJ adult worms or an egg preparation did not reduce the heterophile Ab level.

Abstract
Using minimum-dose system and optical diffraction, effects of electron irradiation on negatively stained images of trypsin-straightened nucleocapsids of Sendai virus were semiquantitatively compared for uranyl-acetate (UA) and phosphotungstic acid (PTA). The results confirmed the superiority of UA in display of fine structures and showed that both UA- and PTA-stained images tended to turn from a one-sided to a two-sided image during irradiation, the general contrast of the picture increased in the UA-stained images but not in the PTA-stained ones, and furthermore the electron doses for the richest information were 18 000 to 30 000 e-/nm2 for UA, but 1000 e-/nm2 for PTA, under the condition used. The optical diffraction patterns of the UA-stained nucleocapsids, its analysis by the superposition method, and rotational harmonics of end-on views of nucleocapsids, together indicated that the most probable arrangement of subunits was 13 per turn of a helix with 5-nm periodicity. This helix also had an arrangement of subunits parallel to the axis. The occurrence of 2.5 nm periodicity was probably produced by an arrangement of a UA-penetrable concave substructure of the subunit.

Abstract
To identify the active component of Sendai virus that induces interferon in mouse spleen cells, infectious and noninfectious viruses, envelope particles derived from them, and isolated hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoproteins were examined for interferon induction. The interaction between membranous structures containing Sendai virus HN glycoprotein and the receptors on the cell surface was shown to be sufficient for interferon induction in mouse spleen cells, suggesting that the actual inducer of interferon in mouse spleen cells is the HN glycoprotein of Sendai virus. When mouse spleen cells were stimulated in vitro with Sendai virus grown in eggs or LLC-MK2 cells or with membranous structures containing glycoproteins obtained from these viruses, interferon could be detected in the culture fluid. Furthermore, isolated HN glycoprotein per se could induce interferon in the cells. A linear correlation was found between the titer of interferon induced and the hemagglutinating activity of the membranous structure containing the HN glycoprotein. It was concluded from these findings that HN glycoprotein was the active component of Sendai virus responsible for interferon induction in mouse spleen cells and that viral RNA and F glycoprotein were not required. The results also showed that the interaction between HN glycoprotein and receptors on the cell surface triggered production of type I interferon (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta). Although when Sendai virus was incubated at 56 degrees C for 5 min it lost its hemolytic and hemagglutinating activities, it induced a considerable amount of interferon in the culture fluid of mouse spleen cells. The interferon-inducing ability of heat-inactivated virus could be absorbed with mouse spleen cells but not with sheep erythrocytes or mouse erythrocytes, indicating that the inactivated virus retained ability to bind to mouse lymphoid cells.

Abstract
Four different types of envelope of Sendai virus or subviral components, that is, infectious and non-infectious virions, reassembled envelope particles (REP), and Tween-ether-treated envelope fragments (TE), were studied comparatively for membrane interactions with chicken erythrocytes by freeze-fracture electron microscopy, specifically for membrane alteration by envelope fusion. The freeze-fracture replicas of the attachment of the four envelopes in the cold exhibited a common pattern of impressions with attached envelopes, although the fracture plane traversed from erythrocyte to envelope at the periphery of the contact areas of three of the envelopes but not of TE, where the fracture plane mostly cut only through erythrocyte membranes impressed with TE. The freeze-fracture replicas of the four envelopes reacting with erythrocytes after a short incubation period at 37 C exhibited distinctive features: infectious virions and REP displayed evidence of envelope fusion, but non-infectious virions and TE showed a particular pattern of envelope association without fusion. Our data demonstrate that the pattern specific for envelope fusion is the formation of a continuous membrane from envelope to cell membrane in a cross fracture of an erythrocyte.

Abstract
Influenza virus hemolytic activity was found to be more heat-resistant than neuraminidase activity, and to be heat-inactivated similarly to hemagglutination activity, in sharp contrast to the case with paramyxoviruses, where the hemolytic activity is the most heat-labile, and hemagglutination and neuraminidase activities are inactivated similarly by heat. Influenza viruses with heat-inactivated neuraminidase activity, which still showed hemagglutination and hemolytic activities, were found to be able to induce cell fusion and envelope fusion. This finding suggested that the hemolytic and fusion activities are not dependent on neuraminidase activity. The hemolytic activity was largely inhibited by anti-hemagglutinin serum of the same subtype. The pH range, heat stability, and antiserum susceptibility of the hemolytic activity were found to be independent of the cells in which the virus was grown.
