Infants at risk for schizophrenia. The Jerusalem Infant Development Study.

The development of infants born to parents with serious mental disorders was followed up from birth through the first year of life. An individual-differences approach to statistical analysis. Multidimensional Scalogram Analysis (MSA), was shown to be an effective statistical procedure for examining heterogeneous psychiatric populations. The MSA revealed the existence of a subgroup of infants born to schizophrenics who repeatedly performed poorly in motor and sensorimotor areas of functioning during their first year of life. These infants were especially vulnerable to external insults, and many had low to low-normal birth weights. These findings, taken together with similar findings from other investigations, add support to the hypothesis that these infants may have a genetically determined neurointegrative deficit.

Amplification of single-strand DNA binding protein in Escherichia coli.

An E. coli strain containing a recombinant plasmid carrying the E. coli ssbA+ gene has been shown to produce 12 to 15 fold increased amounts of single-strand DNA binding-protein relative to wild-type strains. In addition, a gamma transducing phage carrying the E. coli uvrA+ gene has been shown to also carry the ssbA+ gene and to be capable of producing increased amounts of binding protein.

The isolation and genetic characteristics of lambda transducing phages of the uvrA+ and uvrC+ genes of E. coli K12.

Lambda transducing phages carrying the excision repair genes uvrA+ and uvrC+ were selected from a pool of lambda phages carrying EcoR1 fragments of E. coli DNA. These phages and also lambdauvrB+ (obtained from Gottesman) were used to make lysogens of excision-defective strains carrying uvrA-, uvrB- or uvrC-. Lambda uvrA+ was found to transduce strains carrying uvrA- but not those carrying uvrB- or uvrC-, to normal ultraviolet resistance. Similarly, lambdauvrB+ and lambdauvrC+ were found to complement only the corresponding uvr- allele. The lambda transducing phages were co-transduced with gal+ by P1 phage into lysogenic gal- recipients, and presumably were integrated at the normal prophage site.
