Effects of Cigarette Smoke Condensates on Cultured Human Lymphocytes and Separation of Benzo-α-Pyrene Metabolites by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography

Description: Cigarette smoke condensates from all cigarettes tested were found to be potent inducers of AHH enzyme in cultured human lymphocytes and, with the exception of Kent Lights and Carlton CSC's, all were found to be toxic under the experiment conditions. Most of the AHH inducing activity was found in basic and neutral fractions of the lAl standard cigarettes. A radiometric assay of BP metabolites in cultured human lymphocytes was developed in which we were able to separate the primary metabolites an… more

Partial Purification and Some Properties of Lipase From Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

Description: Purification of lipase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (from both a washed cell suspension and crude culture supernatant as the enzyme source) was performed utilizing affinity chromatography. Affinity chromatography was carried out using n-dodecylamine bound to Sepharose 4B. Chromatography of the concentrated crude culture supernatant resulted in a 65 to 95 fold purification with 5.8% recovery. Washed cells collected from a ten hour culture suspended in water also produced enzyme. Activity of the w… more

Tolerance to the Behavioral Effects of Methylphenidate

Description: Thirty-one rats were trained on a differential reinforcement of low rate schedule. After responding had stabilized, animals were injected with methylphenidate, twice weekly, presession. Methylphenidate produced dose-dependent increases in response rates and decreases in reinforcements. Repetition of these doses produced a reduced drug effect, and a third administration of the 10 mg/kg dose further reduced the drug effect. Subsequently, the effects of daily and intermittent administration were d… more
