Studies on the Oxidation and Reduction of Immunological Substances

چکیده
The "spontaneous deterioration" of streptolysin has been studied by the methods already used in investigations of the oxidation-reduction of blood pigments and of the lysins of other bacteria. From the results of this study, it may be concluded that the commonly observed "spontaneous deterioration" of streptolysin consists in the conversion of the originally active lysin to a hemolytically inactive oxidation product. This process is a reversible one, and the activity of the lysin is restored by reduction.

متن کاملStudies on the Oxidation and Reduction of Immunological Substances. Vi. T~e "reactivation" of the Bacteriolytic Activity of Oxidized Pneumococcus Extracts. by James
In preceding papers (1-4), the interrelations of the oxidation and reduction products of several bacterial hemotoxins were found to be analogous to the rela~ tions known to exist between the corresponding products of hemoglobin. That is, the hemolytically inactive oxidation product of the hemotoxin can be converted to the original active substance by reduction, just as "inactive" ferric hemoglo...
متن کاملGlucose Influence on Copper Ion-Dependent Oxidation of Low Density Lipoprotein
Background: It is well established that oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) plays a causal role in human atherogenesis and the risk of atherosclerosis is increased in patients with diabetes mellitus. We examined the in vitro effect of glucose on native and glycated LDL oxidation using copper ion dependent oxidation system. Methods: In this study, LDL was isolated from plasma...
متن کاملStudies on the Oxidation-reduction of Hemoglobin and Methemoglobin
Hemoglobin is oxidized to methemoglobin by products formed during the oxidation of a number of different substances. With some of these substances, both oxygen consumption and hemoglobin oxidation are accelerated by thermolabile constituents of pneumococci; with others of the easily oxidized substances, neither reaction seems to be influenced by the presence of the bacterial substances. The sam...
متن کاملKinetic-Spectrophotometric Determination of Thiocyanate Based on Its Inhibitory Effect on the Oxidation of Pyrogallol Red by Bromate
A kinetic spectrophotometric method for rapid measurement of thiocyanate in serum, urine and sewage water with no need for removed of interfering substances in described. The method is based on the inhibitory effect of thiocyanate on the oxidation of pyrogallol red by bromated and nitrite which is monitored at 467 nm. The variables affecting the rate of the reaction were investigated and th...
