    Notes: Temperature control of subcooled reflux in a distillation column was studied experimentally using coolant flow rate as the manipulative variable. Methanol vapor was condensed and subcooled at one atmosphere in a vertical heat exchanger with 210 copper tubes (0.77 cm I.D., 91.5 cm long). Cooling water flowed countercurrently through the shell side (20.6 cm I.D.).A proportional-integral feedback controller provided good temperature control at normal design throughputs. But dynamic control performance deteriorated at low throughputs (or large areas). Thus the normal conservative design practice of providing excess area in this type of condenser leads to poorer temperature control.

    Notes: De novo assembly of gap junctions begins during compaction in the eight-cell stage of mouse development, and intercellular coupling mediated by gap junctions appears to be required for maintenance of the compacted state. We have begun to explore the expression of the family of genes encoding the connexins, the proteins that form the gap junction channels. We recently reported that a protein with antigenic and size similarity with connexin32, the rat liver gap junction protein, is inherited as an oogenetic product by the mouse zygote, but its gene appears not to be transcribed prior to implantation (Barron et al., Dev Genet 10:318-323, 1989). Here we report that another member of this gene family, connexin43, is transcribed by the embryonic genome from shortly after the time of genomic activation. As revealed by Northern blotting, connexin43 mRNA is absent from ovulated oocytes, becomes detectable in the 4-cell stage, and accumulates steadily thereafter to reach a maximum in blastocysts. In contrast, no transcripts of connexin26 could be detected in any preimplantation stage. A protein with antigenic and size similarity with connexin43 from rat heart was found by Western blotting to accumulate from the four-cell stage onward. Immunofluorescence analysis with embryo whole mounts was used to demonstrate that this protein is incorporated into punctate interblastomeric foci during compaction, consistent with its assembly into gap junction plaques. We conclude that connexin43 is one member of the connexin gene family whose zygotic expression is critical for preimplantation morphogenesis.

    Notes: A monoclonal antibody of the IgG class, EGFR1, has been isolated using cells of the epidermoid carcinoma line A431 as immunogen. The A431 antigen recognized by EGFR1 has an apparent molecular weight of approximately 175,000, is a cell-surface molecule which can be specifically cross-linked to EGF, exhibits an EGF-stimulated protein kinase activity, binds to EGFR1 in a number of human cell lines to a degree which parallels EGF binding, and shows EGF-dependent internalization in A431 cells and human fibroblasts. We therefore conclude that EGFR1 is directed against an antigenic site on the human EGF receptor. EGFR1 is not mitogenic for human fibroblasts and does not inhibit EGF binding under a variety of assay conditions. The characterization of EGFR1 has allowed the unambiguous assignment of the structural gene for the human EGF receptor to chromosome 7. Preliminary results suggest that a convenient method for isolating a range of anti-EGF receptor monoclonal antibodies can be developed, based on a hybridoma supernatant screening assay in which positive supernatants bind selectively to a human-mouse cell hybrid containing human chromosome 7.

    Notes: Results of dynamic mechanical spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and tensile stress-strain data show that the non-ionic surfactant Igepal CO-630, often used as a stress cracking agent, and water are absorbed by high density polyethylene to cause an internal stress relaxation of the intercrystalline tie molecules. The resulting molecular rearrangements produce changes in both the crystalline and amorphous regions. Thus, a molecular mechanism is proposed for the long-term aging process based on the results of accelerated aging in the presence of an environmental stress cracking agent.

    Notes: Glutamine synthetase activity of NCTC clone 929 mouse cells (strain L) was studied as a function of the prior nutritional experience of the cells. Small enzyme increases were recorded in response to either glutamine depletion or chronic serum supplementation of the growth medium. Somewhat greater increases resulted from the administration of cortisol or certain other steroids, particularly if the hormone treatment was combined with glutamine withdrawal. High concentrations of glutamate in the medium did not augment the glutamine synthetase content of the cells and even caused an apparent decrease in it. The presence of glutamine in the culture medium resulted in a fairly rapid rate of disappearance of the glutamine synthetase of previously induced cells. The data suggest that glutamine and cortisol act independently on the cells in regulating the level of the enzyme.

    Notes: Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen for cultured cells of mesenchymal origin. Known sources of PDGF or PDGF-like protein are blood platelets, several transformed cell lines, and cultured endothelial cells (EC). We have examined the regulation of production of a PDGF-like protein in cultures of bovine aortic EC using a specific radioreceptor assay for PDGF. EC constitutively secreted PDGF-like protein into serum-containing or serum-free medium. The rate of production of PDGF-like protein was constant for at least 3 weeks and was not due to release of an internal store, since cell lysis by repeated freeze/thaw cycles did not relase significant amounts of the protein. Synthesis of PDGF-like protein was sensitive to changes in the pH of the media and was maximal at pH 8.5. Production of PDGF-like protein was independent of EC growth rate: rapidly dividing cells and confluent, quiescent cells produced equal amounts per cell. However, sparse, quiescent EC produced more PDGF-like protein per cell than did confluent, quiescent cells. Several phorbol esters stimulated production of PDGF-like protein. At a concentration of 10-6 M, a twofold stimulation was observed upon addition of the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and nearly a fourfold stimulation upon addition of the nonpromoting analog, methyl TPA. Incubation of EC with endotoxin (10 μ/ml) resulted in a twofold stimulation of PDGF-like protein production. In all experiments with endotoxin and phorbol esters, an increase in the production of PDGF-like protein was accompanied by morphological changes in the EC cultures. The cells appeared elongated and fibroblastic and exhibited low viability. A mathematical model was developed in which PDGF-like protein production was shown to consist of two separate components - production at a constant rate by healthy cells and a large burst of synthesis and secretion by dying cells. These results suggest that injurious agents may be capable of stimulating production of a growth factor by the endothelium.

    Notes: A postlavage in situ subpopulation of pulmonary macrophages (PM), biochemically distinct from the lavaged population, has recently been isolated from rats. After exhaustive bronchopulmonary lavage to extract the free lung cells, the lungs were excised, homogenized, and filtered, and the resultant cell suspension was allowed to form a monolayer on plastic Petri dishes. Electron microscopic morphometry failed to indicate any morphologic differences in the two populations. The postlavage in situ PM were more active metabolically during phagocytosis of zymosan particles or stimulation by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) than the corresponding lavage population, as evidenced by greater superoxide generation. Macrophages prepared by either method became more avidly phagocytic when incubated with cell-free medium isolated in the preparation of the in situ population. Peroxidase, an enzyme absent from the granules of PM separated by lavage techniques, was found in a granule-rich fraction of the in situ macrophage. Catalase activity was found in similar amounts in both supernatants and granule-rich fractions of both populations. The results support the concept of subpopulations of PM and suggest that these subpopulations are distinguished by their biochemical properties and their functional abilities.

    Notes: A general method has been devised for calculating gaseous-diffusion-stage requirements to separate gases of widely differing molecular weights. For such a mixture the actual separation factor is shown to be less than the ideal separation factor, depending on the undiffused-gas composition and the ratio of absolute pressures on each side of the barrier. The equilibrium relationship between the compositions of the diffused- and undiffused-gas streams leaving any stage is also derived by means of the Rayleigh concept. Application of the method is illustrated with a diagram, like that of McCabe and Thiele for distillation, on which are stepped off the required number of theoretical stages to separate a particular hydrogen-nitrogen mixture.
