Preparation of monospecific antiserums against porcine immunoglobulins, using agarose-linked immunosorbents.

Abstract

Immunoglobulins IgG, IgA, and IgM were isolated from porcine serum and milk, and antiserums against the 3 immunoglobulin classes were prepared. Monospecificity of the antiserums for the gamma-, alpha-, and mu-chains was obtained by absorbing them in agarose-linked immunosorbent columns. These immunosorbents were prepared by linking IgG or IgA-IgM to CNBr-activated agarose. Contaminating anti-alpha2-macroglobulin antibodies in the anti-IgA and anti-IgM serums were removed with agarose-linked fetal globulins.

Systemic absorption and sustained effects of vaginal estrogen creams.

Systemic absorption and sustained effects of two estrogen vaginal cream preparations (Premarin and Estrace) were measured in 29 postmenopausal women receiving daily applications. With both preparations, vaginal absorption of estrogens into the systemic circulation was rapid, efficient, and sustained. It is apparent that estrogen vaginal cream preparations, as widely used in clinical practice for their local effects on the vaginal mucosa, actually result in sustained high estrogen levels in the systemic circulation. The vaginal route shows promise when systemic estrogen therapy is indicated, but is dangerous when estrogen is contraindicated.

[Comparison of bio-availability, antianaemic efficacy, tolerance and drug costs in oral iron(II) and iron(III) preparations (author's transl)].

In addition to a clinical study which investigated the bio-availability of three oral iron preparations S, L and X by using postabsorption serum iron concentration curves, the same drugs were compared in order to study their antianaemic efficacy, tolerance and drug costs arising during and iron therapy. Moreover, these iron drugs were related to other current clinical reports. Within all three iron preparations a very good correlation was found between bio-availability and haematopoietic efficacy: The very good absorbability of the bivalent quick release stick capsule preparation S (= 100%) corresponded with a very good capacity of haemoglobin regeneration (2,6 +/- 0,4 g Hb/1/day) whereas due to a very low absorbability (10% to 16%) the antianaemic efficacy of both iron(III) preparations L and X had to be rated as moderate to predominantly poor. In normal therapeutic dosis all three iron preparations showed no differences in tolerance. The ratio of side effects was similar to that after ingestion of placebo. In comparing the drug costs during a therapy leading to a real absorption of 1 g of iron the most effective iron(II)sulfate preparation S is 3.6 to 12.6 times cheaper than the compared trivalent preparations L and X. Therefore, there is no justification for the further production or introduction on the market of trivalent iron preparations.

Study of an asymmetric ESR signal in x-irradiated human tooth enamel.

An asymmetric ESR signal and an outer doublet signal centered at g = 2.00 produced in human tooth enamel by X-irradiation have been studied over a temperature range from liquid helium temperature to 380 degrees K. The line shape of the asymmetric signal for an enamel crystallite is Lorentzian at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the integrated intensity of the asymmetric signal suggests that the signal follows a singlet-triplet model with the exchange interaction of 0.022 eV. Below about 60 degrees K the asymmetric signal becomes broad as the temperature is decreased. The ENDOR line of the asymmetric signal shows that there exists interaction between the centers and protons. The temperature dependence of the integrated intensity of the double signal is analogous to that of the asymmetric signal.
