Oxygen uptake by Treponema pallidum.
Virulent Treponema pallidum has been shown to consume O(2) at a rate similar to that of the known aerobic spirochaete, Leptospira. Such O(2) uptake is cyanide sensitive, indicating a functioning cytochrome oxidase. Inhibition of O(2) uptake by azide, chlorpromazine, and amytal further suggests a functioning electron transport system for the oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduce...
متن کاملStudies on Treponema Pallidum and Syphilis. Ii. Spiroch~ticidal Antibodies against Treponema Pallidum. by Hans
In a previous communication we have reported on the agglufinins which are formed in rabbits following systematic inoculation with concentrated culture material of Treponema pallidum. Incidentally it may be stated that a sheep has also been successfully used. The antigen used for the immunization of these animals was similar to that employed in the first agglutination experiments, except that we...
متن کاملShape of Treponema pallidum.
Treponema pallidum was found to be not helical, but a flat wave twisted into one to five different planes per cell.
متن کاملMucopolysaccharidase of Treponema pallidum.
Treponema pallidum (Nichols strain) exhibited mucopolysaccharidase activity. Acidic mucopolysaccharides were broken down more rapidly by viable treponemes than by heat-inactivated treponemes or membrane filtrates of treponemal suspensions. Ouchterlony immunodiffusion demonstrated the occurrence of antibodies to the hyaluronidase-like enzyme within syphilitic sera. After intratesticular inoculat...
متن کاملTreponema pallidum in nerve fibres.
Ultrathin sections of a rabbit scrotal syphiloma were examined by electron microscopy. Treponemes were observed in the endo-, peri-, and epineurium of the nerve fibre. The significance of these findings, in that infection may be transmitted via the nerve fibres and pain reduced by damage to the afferent fibres, are discussed.
