Clinical and electrophysiological studies on sensory conduction mediated by the accessory rootlets of the human trigeminal nerve.

The authors present records of potentials evoked in the roots of the trigeminal nerve by stimulation of its cutaneous branches. Records were made during nine operations for tic douloureux in which the main sensory root of the trigeminal nerve was totally sectioned under the microscope by the transcerebellar route. In every case, the accessory (aberrant) and motor roots were easily identified and spared. Records before and after total main sensory root division showed persistence of evoked potentials in the aberrant and motor fibers. Partial preservation of sensation and blink reflex in these cases reinforced the impression that there is somatic sensory conduction through true aberrant sensory fibers running between the motor and main sensory roots.

Clinical observations on sensory effects of trigeminal dorsal root section.

Further clinical and operative support is presented for Dandy's discovery in 1929 of the presence of accessory sensory fibres of the fifth cranial nerve, running a separate course from the main sensory root at its exit from the pons. The advantages are stressed of Dandy's subcerebellar approach in selected cases for sparing those fibres as well as the motor root.

Production of rubella hemagglutinating antigen in suspension cultures.

Rubella virus specific hemagglutinating antigen was prepared in the fluid phase of suspension cultures. Systems employing baby hamster kidney culture adapted inocula, nonadapted inocula, and cells derived from long-term infected suspension cultures were evaluated. Optimal specific hemagglutinating titers were obtained when kaolin-treated fetal bovine serum was used in the media and when the incoulum had previously been adapted in a suspension culture system. When cultures derived from long-term infected suspension systems were studied, the number of daily harvests in which acceptable titers were present was prolonged. However, titers were generally higher in suspension systems employing cells which had recently been infected.
