Lubbe, F.H. (author), Rossi, G. (author), Zaalberg, O.B. (author), Medisch Biologisch Laboratorium TNO (author)A method is described for isolation of antibody forming cells with the help of cluster formation. This was achieved by incubating spleen cells from immunized mice with sheep erythrocytes at 37°C. During incubation rabbit anti mouse immunoglobulin serum was present in order to facilitate the formation of clusters. Thereafter the clusters were...article 1976

Wolthuis, O.L. (author), Clason-van der Wiel, H.J. (author), Visser, R.P.L.S. (author), Medisch Biologisch Laboratorium TNO Chemisch Laboratorium TNO (author)Atropinised anaesthetised rats were injected i.v. with 4, 6 or 8 x LD50 of the organophosphorous anticholinesterase soman. Subsequent treatment with one dose of HS 6 (100 mg/kg, i.v.) delayed respiratory failure by 1 h or more; a further postponement was obtained when an additional HS 6 infusion was given. At the same infusion rate, HS 6 blood...article 1976

Gaillard, A.W.K. (author), Trumbo, D.A. (author), Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author)The effects of an amphetamine and a barbiturate on heart rate were investigated during long term performance. Subjects worked for three hours in a serial reaction test, which included blocks with variable or constant interstimulus intervals (ISI). Besides the interbeat interval (IBI), derived from the successive R peaks of the ECG, the...article 1976

Vos, O. (author), Budke, L. (author), Grant, G.A. (author), Medisch Biologisch Laboratorium TNO (author)In tissue culture, protection against X irradiation by a number of cysteamine derivatives was studied and the results were compared with data obtained in mice. Compounds with a covered SH group, like WR 638, cysteamine phosphate, WR 2721 and AE AE 48527, showed practically no protection when dissolved in tissue culture medium, but developed a...article 1976

Nickolson, V.J. (author), Wolthuis, O.L. (author), Medisch Biologisch Laboratorium TNO (author)The effects of Piracetam, Naftidrofuryl and methamphetamine on several parameters of cerebral energy metabolism have been studied. At variance with some reports in the literature neither Piracetam nor Naftidrofuryl affected the cerebral contents of adenine nucleotides and, accordingly, both substances were without effect on the adenylate energy...article 1976

(author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)To find out whether alkali treated proteins possess nephrotoxic properties, feeding studies were conducted with drastically treated soybean protein and casein, and also with lysinoalanine (LAL), the amino acid known to be formed in proteins subjected to high pH at an elevated temperature. The feeding of synthesized LAL to rats at dietary levels...article 1976

Nickolson, V.J. (author), Wolthuis, O.L. (author), Medisch Biologisch Laboratorium TNO (author)The effect of Piracetam on rat cerebral protein metabolism in vivo and in vitro was studied. It was found that the drug stimulates the uptake of labelled leucine by cerebral cortex slices, has no effect on the incorporation of leucine into cerebral protein, neither in slices nor in vivo, but inhibits the breakdown of newly formed protein in...article 1976

Vos, O. (author), Grant, G.A. (author), Budke, L. (author), Medisch Biologisch Laboratorium RVO-TNO (author)The effect of diamide on the radiosensitivity of T cells was investigated under oxic and anoxic conditions. The compound was found to sensitize the cells under both conditions. Under oxic conditions, exposure for 10 min before and during irradiation to 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mM diamide produced dose modifying factors of 0.81, 0.60 and 0.55,...article 1976

Wolthuis, O.L. (author), de Wied, D.

In addition, the effects of these peptides on spontaneous motor behavior were analyzed. The results show that the latencies of all VER...article 1976

This paper reports immunocytological studies to distinguish those Ia like antigens from the conventional serologically defined RhL A antigens (SD), from β2 microglobulin, which is...article 1976

Walraven, P.L. (author), Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author)On the basis of new experimental data of tritanopic vision the convergence centre for tritanopia has been redetermined, and has turned out to bex' = 0.1747,y' = 0.0060 in the Judd 1951-chromaticity diagram. A consequence of this determination is that the blue system is more sensitive than was concluded from the Thomson-Wright (1953) study. The...article 1974

Broerse, J.J. (author), Radiobiologisch Instituut TNO (author)Values of the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of fast neutrons for effect on normal tissue depend not only on the neutron energy and the dose, but also on the type of tissue irradiated. Values of the RBE of 15 MeV neutrons are reviewed for rapidly proliferating rodent tissue, such as mouse bone marrow, mouse intestine and rat skin...article 1974

van Hemmen, J.J. (author), Meuling, W.J.A. (author), Bleichrodt, J.F. (author), Medisch Biologisch Laboratorium TNO (author)The radiosensitization by oxygen of biologically active bacteriophage DNA in bacterial extracts was studied. The oxygen effect in such a system appeared not to be due or only to a minor extent to the presence of endogenous sulphydryl compounds. The components in a cell extract which enable oxygen and other sensitizers to sensitize DNA could not...article 1974
