Background: Prostanoids are used in the treatment of Raynaud’s phenomenon and acral perfusion disorders secondary to collagenosis. In subjective terms, intravenous administration of these agents produces success in more than 50% of patients. The therapeutic outcome of clinical administration of alprostadil or iloprost may vary from individual to individual. Patients and methods: The following variables were analysed in a cross-over study in 27 patients with collagenosis and Raynaud’s phenomenon: plasma viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation (rheological variables), partial pressure of oxygen and laser Doppler flowmetry in the finger region, and lymphocyte phenotyping and interleukin (IL) determinations (immunological variables). Results: Laser Doppler flowmetry revealed significant differences between patients with secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon and a control group of 25 healthy subjects. Laser Doppler readings did not change significantly as a result of the treatments. Therapy with iloprost produced a reduction in IL-1beta, L-selectin (CD 62 L) and IL-6. Conclusion: The change in immunological variables due to iloprost may explain the long-term effects of prostaglandins in the treatment of Raynaud’s phenomenon. From our results it is not possible to infer any preference for iloprost or alprostadil.

Histomorphological Changes

Summary. Data on distribution of hypodermatosis among large horned cattle in Stavropol region are presented in the article. It was proved that this pathology is widespread in this region. From 12% to 38% of animals from the total number of examined livestock are affected. Ordinary subcutaneous botfly (stroma) Hypoderma bovis de Geer and south subcutaneous botfly (pischevodnik) Hypoderma lineatum de Villers parasites on large horned cattle. The species ratio of gadflies is: Hypoderma bovis (de Gee - 61.1%, Hypoderma lineatum de Villers - 38.9%). The disease is widespread in all climatic zones of Stavropol region. Animals of all age and sex groups are infected, but young animals are more often affected. Linear relationship between the indicators of the transformation of climatic conditions in Stavropol region, the spread of hypodermatosis and the timing of treatment and preventive measures were determined. Authors proved that the complete death of H. bovis and H. lineatum imago (regardless of the time of their hatching) was noted when the temperature drops to -3°C for two days. Thus, this temperature determines the start of treatment and preventive measures against hypodermatosis in the area of animal welfare. When analyzing the histomorphological changes caused by H. bovis and H. lineatum in the body of large horned cattle, perforation of the skin, swelling of adjacent tissues, disorganization of the stroma and structural elements, erythrocyte aggregation, hemorrhages, hydropic degeneration of cellular elements, tissue necrosis, polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration of affected organs and tissues were observed. The data on pathogenesis were presented, the analysis of economic damage and the veterinary and sanitary assessment of the products of slaughter of cattle with hypodermatosis were carried out.

Abstract The change in mobility of an abnormal globulin peak during paper electrophoresis in the presence of DL-penicillamine is the most useful of simple procedures suggested for differentiation between macroglobulin and myeloma protein. However, not all cases indicating macroglobulin by this procedure will correlate with criteria based on ultracentrifuge analysis or antigenic reaction.

The anti-allotype antibody response to the b allotypic form of IgG2a is regulated by major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded immune response (Ir) genes. Mice of d, b, p, q, r, and s haplotypes make a strong anti-allotype response on immunization with the CBPC101 myeloma protein (IgG2ab), whereas mice of the k, m, a, a1, u, and z haplotypes made no, or a very poor, response. All responder strains produce anti-IgG2ab antibodies which share common idiotypes (Id) without relation to the allelic forms of the Ig heavy-chain-constant region genes that the responding mice possess. Isoelectric focusing analysis of the anti-allotype antibodies produced in various strains of mice showed that they are of limited heterogeneity and quite similar from strain to strain. Five out of six hybridoma products with specificity for CBPC101 allotype expressed cross-reactive idiotypes (IdX). Two of hybridoma products expressing IdX identify CH3-domain determinants, and one has been assigned a CH2-domain specificity.

An arabinogalactan-protein (AGP) purified from the filtrate of liquid-suspension-cultured Italian-ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) endosperm cells by affinity chromatography on myeloma protein J539-Sepharose was deglycosylated with trifluoromethanesulphonic acid to remove polysaccharide chains that are covalently associated with hydroxyproline residues in the peptide component of the proteoglycan. The protein core, which accounts for less than 10% (w/w) of the intact proteoglycan, was purified by h.p.l.c. It has an apparent Mr of 35,000, but reacts very poorly with both Coomassie Brilliant Blue R and silver stains. Amino-acid-sequence analysis of the N-terminus of the h.p.l.c.-purified protein core and of tryptic peptides generated from the unpurified protein reveals a high content of hydroxyproline and alanine. These are sometimes arranged in short (Ala-Hyp) repeat sequences of up to six residues. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the protein core do not cross-react with native AGP, the synthetic peptide (Ala-Hyp)4, poly-L-hydroxyproline or poly-L-proline. The results suggest that the polysaccharide chains in the native AGP render the protein core of the proteoglycan inaccessible to the antibodies and that the immunodominant epitopes include domains of the protein other than those rich in Ala-Hyp repeating units.
