The genus Serratia is one of the poorly studied among enterobacteria, which explains the interest in these microorganisms and bacteriophages active towards these microorganisms. The aim of this work was to study the antigenic properties of bacteriophages isolated by us from lysogenic cultures of serrations and from environmental objects. The work investigated 16 phages active against bacteria Serratia marcescens, isolated from various sources.

SummaryRabbits immunized against human AHG fibrinogen-free preparations, were shown to produce anti-AHG antibodies. The inhibitory activity of these antibodies was tested by thromboplastin generation test, thrombelastography, and the specific anti-AHG antibodies neutralization test. The latter test permitted quantitative determination of antigenic form of factor VIII. The inhibitory activity of anti-FI-O-Ta serum resulted exclusively from the anti-AHG antibodies which in coagulation tests behaved like circulating anticoagulants directed against factor VIII.The anti-AHG antibodies were neutralizable by normal human serum or plasma even contained only trace of AHG activity after storage. There was no antigenic form of factor VIII in the severely affected patients with hemophilia A, von Willebrand’s disease nor in the normal plasma adsorbed on bentonite. The presented results suggest a molecular defect of factor VIII in patients with hemophilia A. The severe form of this disease depends, probably, on a major impairment of AHG biosynthesis, leading to changes in the antigenic properties of the molecule. The AHG from rabbit, porcine and bovine plasma respectively did not neutralize the anti-AHG antibodies formed in rabbits immunized against human factor VIII preparations.

ABSTRACT Several chemical differences between FSH, LH and HCG have been reported: thus LH and HCG are richer in proline than FSH and FSH and HCG contain more N-acetyl neuraminic acid than LH. Sub-units of LH are formed by treatment with urea, guanidine or acid. HCG also may contain two sub-units. The sub-units from LH are biologically inert but retain their immunological activity: biological activity is restored when the sub-units are incubated together. There is much evidence from chemical and enzymic reactions that antigenic groups are distinct from those parts of the molecule essential for biological activity. N-acetyl neuraminic acid and probably other carbohydrates in FSH and HCG are not involved in immunological activity but are necessary for biological activity. Histidine, methionine and possibly cysteine appear to be essential for biological but not immunological activity of FSH, while tryptophan and possibly tyrosine are not essential for either. A few highly specific antisera to gonadotrophins have been prepared in rabbits and guinea pigs to crude antigens: there is no evidence that purified antigens are more likely to produce specific antisera. Differences in the immunological reactivities of urinary compared with pituitary gonadotrophins have been observed both by radioimmunoassay and by the complement fixation technique. The latter may be particularly useful for detecting structural differences in the hormones.
