Electron microscopic observation of thin sections of rice (Oryza sativa L.) endosperm revealed two types of protein bodies (PBs): spherical and irregular-shaped ones. Immunocytochemical localization studies using antibodies raised against purified glutelins, prolamines, and globulins indicated that the prolamines were localized in the spherical PB, whereas the irregular-shaped PB contained glut...

The light (L) polypeptide chains of the human T-globulins carry antigenic determinants designated as group 1 or 2 (1-3). Allotypic determinants designated InV have been found in association with the L chains of 3,,-globulin (4). Natural ly occurring human ant ibody directed toward L chain determinants has been described in detail only for the InV antigens (5). The present studies utilize human ...

Reconstitution of phage-neutralizing activity was observed after admixture of separated L and H polypeptide chains of purified antibodies obtained from single sheep or guinea pigs and directed against f1 and f2 phages. Hybrid mixtures of complementary chains of antiphage antibodies and gamma-globulins of the same animal showed less activity than the homologous mixtures of chains from antibodies...

When normal human plasma was adsorbed at 4 C with monosEecific antibody globulins to human Cl -INH inhibitor (anti-Cl -INH). Cl -INH was removed from the plasma in proportion to the amount of antibody globulins used. Clotting activity attributable to Fletcher factor (prekallikreinh high molecular weight kininogen (HMW-K). and irregularly. plasma thromboplastin antecedent (PTA. factor Xl) were a...

Thirty-nine women of reproductive age suffering from chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) for at least two years, previously treated pharmacologically with no effect, were enrolled in a four-week therapeutic protocol consisting of 12 acupuncture treatments performed with the frequency of three per week. In each female patient at baseline and after the study, pain score and the following pa...

Albumin and globulin fractions of Indian bean seeds exhibit different mobilization patterns during the 8-day germination period. The albumin degradation was lesser in the early stage and reached a maximum in the later stages of germination. However, the globulins were degraded steadily from the start of imbibition. The influence of the embryonic axis on albumin and globulin degradation was also...

Cl -INH was removed from the plasma in proportion to the amount of antibody globulins used.
