    Notes: The magneto-optical readout properties of Ba-ferrite particulate media recorded by a magnetic head were investigated. Although the readout wave form reproduced using the Faraday effect contained a large noise component, the wave form with same bit period as that of the recorded signal was obtained. The domain pattern observed using a polarized microscope shows obscure boundaries between adjacent magnetized areas. The origin of noise is discussed from the standpoint of dispersion and the refractive index in particulate media. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The role of CD86 in triggering of ascaris extract-specific IgE antibody response by lipopolysaccharide was studied. The simultaneous administration of anti-CD86 antibody with ascaris extract and lipopolysaccharide prevented the production of IgE antibody response to ascaris extract. CD86+ cells were detected in peritoneal cavities and spleens of mice injected intraperitoneally with lipopolysaccharide. CD86+ cells appeared in peritoneal cavities and spleens eight hours after lipopolysaccharide injection, and they were detectable for a week. CD86+ cells in peritoneal cavities and spleens were mainly surface Ig-positive B-cells and some Ig-negative cells. It was suggested that lipopolysaccharide induced the expression of CD86 mainly on B-cells, and that CD86+ cells induced by lipopolysaccharide injection might play an important role as antigen-presenting cells on triggering of ascaris extract-specific IgE antibody response by lipopolysaccharide.

    Notes: The expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) as stress-induced proteins was studied in mice injected with d-galactosamine (D-GalN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an experimental endotoxic shock model. The expression of constitutive type heat shock protein 70 (HSC70) was significantly reduced in livers of mice injected with d-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide, while its expression was unaffected in livers of mice injected with d-galactosamine or lipopolysaccharide alone. The expression of other constitutive type heat shock proteins, namely HSP60, HSP32 and HSP25 was also reduced in mice injected with d-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide. On the other hand, inducible type HSP70 was detected in livers from mice injected with d-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide, but not in livers from mice injected with d-galactosamine or lipopolysaccharide alone. Simultaneous injection of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antibody prevented the liver from reduced expression of constitutive type HSC70, and lead to marked expression of inducible type HSP70 in the liver. Reduced expression of constitutive type HSC70 was also found when d-galactosamine and recombinant TNF-α was injected. Therefore, TNF-α was suggested to play a critical role on altered expression of constitutive HSC70 and inducible type HSP70 in response of d-galactosamine-sensitized mice to lipopolysaccharide.

    Notes: The participation of adhesion molecules in systemic vascular injuries of the generalized Shwartzman reaction was studied. The generalized Shwartzman reaction was induced in mice by two consecutive injections of lipopolysaccharide. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was expressed on vascular endothelial cells, renal tubular cells and alveolar wall in generalized Shwartzman reaction-induced mice. The preparative injection of lipopolysaccharides induced ICAM-1 expression in those cells, and the provocative injection of lipopolysaccharides for the generalized Shwartzman reaction augmented it further. The simultaneous administration of anti-gamma interferon antibody with the preparative injection of lipopolysaccharides completely inhibited ICAM-1 expression on vascular endothelial cells. The injection of recombinant gamma interferon in replacement of lipopolysaccharides resulted in ICAM-1 expression. The administration of anti-ICAM-1 antibody together with the provocative injection of lipopolysaccharides significantly blocked the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells in generalized Shwartzman reaction-induced mice. It was suggested that ICAM-1 expression on vascular endothelial cells might be involved in systemic vascular injuries of the generalized Shwartzman reaction, and that it might be regulated by gamma interferon.

    Notes: Production of tissue factor (TF) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was examined in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) transfected with human CD14 DNA. The expression of CD14 on HUVECs dramatically enhanced the production of TF at a low concentration of LPS in the absence of fetal calf serum (FCS). On the other hand, mock-transfected HUVECs did not respond to even a high concentration of LPS. TF production in CD14-expressing HUVECs was significantly inhibited by anti-CD14 monoclonal antibody. Addition of FCS to the culture of CD14-expressing HUVECs markedly augmented the LPS-induced TF production, whereas only a marginal effect was observed in mock-transfected HUVECs. The findings suggested that the integration of membrane CD14 rendered HUVECs highly sensitive to LPS in the production of TF irrespective of the presence of FCS.

    Notes: Abstract Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was administered into sheep red blood cells (SRBC)-primed mice, and the effect of LPS on SRBC-specific memory cells was investigated. Spleen cells from SRBC-primed mice which were injected with LPS exhibited much lower in vitro secondary plaque-forming cells (PFC) responses to SRBC than those from untreated SRBC-primed mice. The in vitro anti-SRBC response of the spleen cells to LPS was also reduced. The combination experiments of B cells and T cells from SRBC-primed mice which were injected with or without LPS demonstrated that the reduction of immune responses to SRBC after administration of LPS was caused by the defect of SRBC-specific B memory cells, but not T memory cells. B cell type rosette-forming cells (RFC) for SRBC markedly decreased after injection of LPS, while PFC as antibody-forming cells did not increase subsequently. Therefore, the reduction of RFC was not due to their differentiation into PFC. The lymphoid follicles in the spleens from mice injected with LPS were stained positively by in situ nick end labeling specific for fragmented DNA. A large percentage of Ig+ spleen cells from SRBC-primed mice which were injected with LPS was also stained positively. The injection of glucocorticoids into SRBC-primed mice induced similar reduction of B memory cells. It was suggested that LPS might induce apoptosis of B memory cells and regulate B cell memory in antigen-nonspecific manner.

    Notes: Abstract The participation of apoptotic cell death in the generalized Shwartzman reaction was examined. The generalized Shwartzman reaction was induced in mice by two consecutive injections of lipopolysaccharide. Vascular endothelial cells in various organs of those mice were stained positively by the in situ specific labeling of fragmented DNA. Renal tubules were also stained focally. It was suggested that apoptotic cell death might participate in the development of vascular endothelial cell damage and acute tubular necrosis in the generalized Shwartzman reaction. Simultaneous administration of anti-γ-interferon antibody in the preparative injection of lipopolysaccharide completely blocked apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells. Priming with recombinant γ-interferon instead of lipopolysaccharide could produce apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells. It was suggested that γ-interferon might play a critical role on sensitization of endothelial cells for apoptosis.

    Notes: Abstract Administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into mice markedly induced the apoptosis of CD4+8+ thymocytes. The injection of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antibody or RU38486, a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, into mice definitely inhibited LPS-induced apoptosis of thymocytes. Addition of the sera 1 h after injection of LPS into in vitro cultures of thymocytes caused thymocyte apoptosis. It was also prevented by either anti-TNF-α antibody or RU38486. Further, recombinant TNF-α and hydrocortisone collaborated in induction of the thymocyte apoptosis in vitro. The in vivo phenomenon of LPS-induced apoptosis of thymocytes was reproducible by the in vitro experimental system. It was therefore suggested that both TNF-α and glucocorticoid participate and collaborate as effector molecules in LPS-induced apoptosis of thymocytes.

    Notes: Abstract Immunization with lipopolysaccharide from Klebsiella O3 as an immunological adjuvant did not cause the death of mice in systemic anaphylaxis to bovine serum albumin. On the other hand, most mice immunized with lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia coli O111, Klebsiella O4 and Salmonella minnesota did die. Klebsiella O3 lipopolysaccharide enhanced IgM and IgG antibody response to BSA more markedly than Escherichia coli O111 lipopolysaccharide, while it affected the production of IgE antibody only slightly. Therefore, it is suggested that the inhibition of systemic anaphylaxis by Klebsiella O3 lipopolysaccharide adjuvant might be related to its strong adjuvant action on IgM and IgG class antibody production, and that high levels of circulating IgM and IgG antibodies might act as blocking antibodies in the development of IgE-mediated systemic anaphylaxis.

    Notes: Complexes formed by low dose irradiation with electron (1015-16/cm2) and He (5x1012-5x1013/cm2) in the relatively low carbon concentration (1016/cm3) MCZ silicon were investigated byhighly sensitive and quantitative IR absorption analysis. CiOi and VO were the main complexes inall cases. The concentration of these complexes was about 1015/cm3, or 10% of included carbon inthe highest case. Loss of almost equal amount of Cs was observed. The concentration of CiOiI wasone order of magnitude lower. Upon annealing, these lines weakened and almost disappeared at 400oC. There were some absorption lines introduced by the annealing. VO2 was strongest among themand CsOi related structure was also confirmed. There were absorption lines at 954.9 and 962.6 cm-1appeared after annealing at 300 oC
