ACTION OF SYNTHETIC POLYLYSINE ON EXPERIMENTAL INFECTIONS IN ANIMALS

The action of trypsin on polylysine.

1. Glycerol is oxidized and assimilated by washed suspensions of Mycobacterium 8megmati8 and Mycobacterium butyricum. 2. The oxidation is completely inhibited by cyanide and partially inhibited by selective agents such as arsenite, iodoacetate and fluoride. Pyruvate accumulates extracellularly in the presence of arsenite only. 3. Study of dialysed extracts has shown that the primary step in the...

Experimental Study on Mucosal Vaccination of Animals against Viral Infections

Activity of terbinafine in experimental fungal infections of laboratory animals.

The allylamine derivative terbinafine is the first antifungal agent with primary fungicidal properties against dermatophytes which acts systemically after oral application as well as locally after topical application. Comparative oral studies carried out with griseofulvin and ketoconazole in model infections such as guinea pig trichophytosis and microsporosis revealed terbinafine to be superior...

Scorpion Venom Pisoning in Experimental Animals

Synthetic Animals in Synthetic Worlds

Abstract This paper provides an overview of various research e orts that aim at designing adaptive animats i e synthetic animals able to survive in synthetic worlds The control architectures of these animats are either programmed by a human designer or more or less automatically determined by means of nature mimicking processes such as learning evolution and develop ment The paper concludes wit...
