Galactose utilization in galactosemia.

Cultures of human galactosemic fibroblasts without detectable transferase activity were able to convert [1-(14)C]galactose to (14)CO(2) to the same extent as normal cells, but did so at a significantly slower rate. The utilization of galactose in both normal and galactosemic cells was strongly inhibited by glucose at physiologic concentrations.

Immunoperoxidase localization of herpes zoster virus and simian virus 40 in cell culture.

The immunoperoxidase technique was used in an electron microscopy study to localize the virions of herpes zoster virus and simian virus 40 in cell cultures. Intranuclear and intracytoplasmic virions of herpes zoster virus were easily and specifically identified due to intense staining by the finely granular, black reaction product. With simian virus 40, intranuclear virions were not stained, whereas intracytoplasmic particles appeared densely black. There was essentially no background staining. Advantages of this technique over the ferritin-labeled antibody method include simpler preparative procedures for reagents, greater penetrability of the antibody conjugate, and internal amplification which substantially improves the ability to localize sites of antigen-antibody reaction. We believe that the immunoperoxidase method can be successfully applied to a wide variety of problems involving viral antigens.

Extensive chromosome aberrations caused by [3H]thymidine incorporation in a diploid monkey cell line DBS-FRhL-2.

Extensive chromosome aberrations were induced in a diploid monkey cell line designated as DBS-FRhL-2 after exposure to [3H]thymidine ([3H]Tdr) for either 30 or 60 min at a dose of 1 muCi per ml of medium. Cultures exposed to [3H]Tdr for a longer period had significantly larger numbers of aberrations than those exposed for a shorter period. The most common type of aberrations were chromatid breaks. The majority of aberrations were observed in cells which were in contact with [3H]Tdr during S phase, especially the middle S. Cells from cultures of early and late passages exposed to [3H]Tdr were affected to a similar extent when chromosomes were examined. No clear relationship between sites of breakage and intensity of labeling could be established.
