[Increases in the activity of lysosomal DNAase in mouse liver during the development of Friend's viral leukemia].

A developing Friend's viral leukemia is accompanied by a 2,0--2,5-fold increase in the activity of lysosomal DNAse (DNAse II) in mouse liver as compared to normal. The increase in activity is observed on the 10--12th day after inoculation of virus-containing material and reaches its maximum on the 20th post-inoculation day. The increase in DNAse II activity is due to activation of the lysosomal system of Kupffer's and endothelial cells of the liver. The activity of mitochondrial DNAse (DNAse I) in the livers of leukemic mice showed no deviations from the normal level. A possible role of DNAse II in the protective response of the organism is discussed.

[Possible role of DNAse I in the development of experimental leukemia].

An increase in the DNAase 1 activity in the serum and an increase in the DNAase inhibitor activity in the spleen in the development of virus Friend leukemia were demonstrated. Increased activity of the inhibitor in the spleen was also revealed after intravenous injection of exogenous DNAase 1 into mice. A potential role of serum DNAase 1 in the development of experimental leukemia is discussed.

[Change in the activity of DNAse I inhibitor in the mouse spleen on the administration of a synthetic polyanion].

Synthetic polyanion pyran (copolimer of divinyl ether and maleic anhydride) injected to mice increases the titre of antibody to sheep red blood cells as well as the activity of serum DNAase I and DNAase I splenic inhibitor. Simultaneously a growth of the spleen weight takes place. A possible role of the DNAase I inhibitor system in the mechanism of the adjuvant action of synthetic polyanion is discussed.

[Effect of dimethyl sulfoxide on transformation of B. subtilis in vitro].

Bacillus subtilis transformation was conducted in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide and polyethyleneglycol. B. subtilis transformation was most frequent under the effect of 0.1% dimethylsulfoxide and was not altered significantly by polyethyleneglycol. As suggested, an increase of the transformation frequency was associated with the change of the membrane permeability under the influence of dimethylsulfoxide of with the altered activity of the membrane DNase.

[Conduct of Bacillus subtilis transformation in mice under conditions of immunologic suppression of exogenous DNAase 1 activity].

Bacillus subtilis transformation was conducted in the abdominal cavity of mice. The frequency of transformation was considerable decreased when bovine DNA-ase 1 (3-- 5microgram) was injected intraperitoneally to these animals. Immune rabbit gamma-globulins containing antibodies to bovine DNA-ase 1 inhibited in vivo the activity of DNA-ase 1, protected transforming DNA from the hydrolyzing effect of this enzyme. This model can be utilized in search for ways to preserve DNA injected into the animal organism for the purpose of genetical engineering.

[Inhibition of DNAse I activity in vivo].

Immune gamma-globulins containing antibodies to bovine DNAse I inhibit activities of bovine and mouse DNAse I both in vitro and in vivo. Bovine DNAse I was used as exogenous DNAse I in the in vivo studies and was injected to mice intraperitoneally in combination with gamma-globulins. The serous fluid of mice was used as a source of endogenous DNAse I. Both in in vitro and in vivo studies immune gamma-globulins caused a practically complete inhibition of bovine DNAse I activity, whereas the activity of mouse DNAse I (endogenous) was inhibited by 60-80%. Nonimmune gamma-globulins had no inhibitory effects whatsoever.
