چکیده

1. A single intravenous injection into dogs of a sufficient number of freshly washed typhoid bacteria produces the symptoms and pathology that characterize anaphylaxis in these animals. 2. These effects are not produced by the coagulable protein-free filtrate from a fresh emulsion, while a similar filtrate from an emulsion digested with leucoprotease is very potent, the toxic portion of the bacterial bodies being changed from a coagulable to a non-coagulable state. 3. The symptoms and pathology described are not specific, since they can be produced by substances other than typhoid toxins. 4. Digestion with leucoprotease furnishes a method of liberating toxic substances from typhoid bacteria resembling the processes of nature more closely than the methods heretofore used. 5. The toxic substances thus liberated are not destroyed by a heat and acid precipitation of the coagulable proteins, and are of the nature of primary proteoses.

ON THE PRESENCE OF A MILK-CURDLING FERMERTT (PEXIN) IN THE GASTRIC MUCOUS MEMBRANE OF VERTEBRATES. A SUMMARY OF EXPERINgENTS I~ADE IN THE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE BY CAROLINE

The experiments noted in this paper were undertaken to test the value of chloroform water for making extracts of the gastric mucosa. As material accumulated we became interested in the examination of the stomachs of various accessible vertebrates for the milk-curdling ferment. The results show very convincingly that this ferment may be considered to exist in all the subdivisions of this great g...

Studies on Ferment Action

1. Erythrocytes have definite lipoidal constituents and lipoidal combinations peculiar to the species. 2. Certain lipoids and lipoidal combinations act as specific antigens. 3. The increase in serum lipase which occurs upon immunization of animals to foreign red cells is, at least in part, specific. 4. This specific lipase plays, no doubt, an important part in specific serum hemolyses.

The Nature of Serum Antitrypsin

1. The ferment-inhibiting action of the serum is due to the presence of compounds of the unsaturated fatty acids. 2. These fatty acid compounds may be removed from the serum by means of chloroform or ether. 3. Soaps prepared by saponifying the chloroform or ether extracts inhibit the action of trypsin. 4. The anti-enzyme action of the serum can be removed by filtering acid serum through kaolin,...

Action of Formaldehyde on Enzymes and on Certain Pboteids

THE FOLLOWING GENERAL CONCLUSIONS MAY BE DRAWN FROM THE PRECEDING WORK: Fibrin is altered by formaldehyde and is then less easily digested by pepsin and by trypsin. Papaïn is apparently unable to digest fibrin even when this is exposed to very weak formaldehyde (1:1000) for a very short time. The casein of milk, on contact with formaldehyde, undergoes rapid alteration and is as a result not coa...

Draft Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum TL2766, a Strain with the Ability To Ferment Wakame

The genome sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum TL2766, a strain with the ability to ferment wakame (Undaria pinnatifida), is described here. The reads were assembled into contigs, with a total size of 3,310,195 bp. The genome information will be useful for further specific genetic studies of this strain and for its biotechnological applications.
