Sulfated colominic acid exhibited suppressive effects on SA11 (simian rotavirus)- and MO (human rotavirus)-infections, but not on Wa (human rotavirus)-, Sabin 1 (poliovirus 1)-, and Nancy (coxsackie B3 virus)-infections, in vitro. The infection of SA11 was found to be inhibited by mixed treatment and early posttreatment with sulfated colominic acid, but not by pretreatment, by plaque assay and ...

The incidence of chromosome aberrations in rat bone marrow, examined 6 hr after the administration of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, was significantly enhanced by induction of anemia 0-48 hr before the carcinogen treatment and was suppressed by induction of polycythemia. The suppressive influence of polycythemia was reversed by sheep erythropoietin injected shortly before or after the carcinog...

1. The response to an optimally oriented stimulus of both simple and complex cells in the cat's striate visual cortex (area 17) can be suppressed by the superposition of an orthogonally oriented drifting grating. This effect is referred to as cross-orientation suppression. We have examined the spatial organization and tuning characteristics of this suppressive effect with the use of extracellul...
