The Ju Blood Typing System of the Sperm Whale and Specific Soluble Substances
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of immunogenetic concepts in marine population research is rapidly expanding (Cushing 1962) and pertinent material on whales has been reviewed (Fujino, 1960). In the case of sperm whales, a "species-specific" antigen resembling the human B antigen has been found on their erythrocytes, and antibodies for the human ABO system occur variably in their serums. Chicken and rabbit antiserums prepared against sperm whale erythrocytes have been used to distinguish six phenotypes among twenty-six individuals. One of the antigens designated, Sp, could also be recognized by a natural antibody in sei whale serum (Fujino 1954). The present paper reports additional work on sperm whale antigens that was done in California (Cushing and Calaprice), in the Antarctic (Fujino) and in Peru (Cushing).

In this paper it has been shown that deterioration of the brain cortex capillary system and negative dynamics of cerebral tissue morphology occur under conditions of hypo kinesia. Simultaneously, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and piracetam have been shown to favor the development of vasodilation and prevent further worsening of the cerebral blood supply. During the experiment, it was also ...
