The stress of motion sickness was experimentally provoked by Coriolis effect. Significant and reproducible increases from the basal serum level (delta mean +/- S.E.) of antidiuretic hormone delta - ADH: 48.2 +/- 4.6 pg/ml; p less than 0.0005), of growth hormone (delta - hGH: 10.0 +/- 1.2 ng/ml; p less than 0.0005), of prolactin (delta - hPRL: 186.5 +/- 29.9 muU/ml; p less than 0.0005), and of c...

The pathogenesis of human glomerulonephritis has not been throughly recognized in spite of many extensive experimental examinations and clinical observations. With regard to experimental glomerulonephritis, MASUGI's nephritis and glomerulonephritis in serum sickness has been believed to play an important role. In serum sickness, glomerulonephritis develops during the immune phase of antigen eli...

Membranous and/or proliferative pneumonitis, similar in certain features to human interstitial pneumonitis, developed in rabbits making hyperactive antibody response to daily injections of bovine serum albumin (BSA) administered in multiple large doses sufficient to maintain the state of relative antigen-antibody equivalence. The pulmonary lesions were associated with deposition in alveolar cap...

The renal lesions of serum sickness were studied with the electron microscope. The most prominent change was a marked swelling and proliferation of glomernlar endothelial cells causing obliteration of the capillary lumen. The basement membrane also showed focal thickenings and excrescences. Deposits of electron-dense material blended into the basement membrane. On the extracapillary side epithe...

A protective vaccine against HIV-1 will likely require the elicitation of a broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) response. Although the development of an immunogen that elicits such antibodies remains elusive, a proportion of HIV-1 infected individuals evolve broadly neutralizing serum responses over time, demonstrating that the human immune system can recognize and generate NAbs to conserved e...
