Climate affects both the distribution and abundance of isopods. Humidity and moisture affect their activity and distribution. Survival of juveniles is largely dependent on moisture. The reproductive pattern is affected by temperature and light. Food affects growth and thus, indirectly, also reproduction, as larger females tend to produce larger broods and more frequent broods than smaller ones. Generally in isopods there is little evidence to suggest that food is a very important factor affecting their abundance. Both semelparity and iteroparity are found in isopods and both reproductive strategies are apparently successful. Mortality factors affect the oocytes, the marsupial stages, and most of all the newly released individuals . Apart from climatic factors, predation and, to a lesser extent, parasitism are the main causes of mortality. Longevity of isopods ranges from one to five years. Occasional population explosions ofisopods are known to take place, their cause being unknown.
The purification and the amino acid sequence of a proteolipid translated on ribosomes in yeast mitochondria is reported. This protein, which is a subunit of the A TP synthase, was purified by extraction with chloroform/methanol (2/1) and subsequent chromatography on phosphocellulose and reverse phase h.p.l.c. A mol. wt. of 5500 was estimated by chromatography on Bio-Gel P-30 in 8011/o fonnie acid. The complete amino acid sequence of this protein was determined by automated solid phase Edman degradation of the whole protein and of fragments obtained after cleavage with cyanogen bromide. The sequence analysis indicates a length of 48 amino acid residues. The calculated mol. wt. of 5870 corresponds to the value found by gel chromatography. This polypeptide contains three basic residues and no negatively charged side chain. The three basic residues are clustered at the C terminus. The primary structure of this protein is in full agreement with the predicted amino acid sequence of the putative polypeptide encoded by the mitochondrial aap1 gene recently discovered in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Moreover, this protein shows 5011/o homology with the amino acid sequence of a putative polypeptide encoded by an unidentified reading frame also discovered near the mitochondrial ATPase subunit 6 genein Aspergillus nidulans.
In the present study, an attempt was made to characterize the immunomodulating abilities of the cytostatic drugs cydophosphamide, ifosfamide, vinblastine, vincristine, procarbazine, dacarbazine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate, 5-f/uor-uracil and adriamycine in a defined experimental model. Varying combinations of drug plus transplantation alloantigen, (C3H-lymphocytes) were injected into Balb/c mice at different time intervals in vivo. The resulting T-effector cell reactivity was determined in vitro with the microcytotoxicity assay on day + 5 for primary (r) and day + 7 for secondary (2°) sensitized mice. According to the type of drug (alkylating agent vs. vinca alkaloid vs. antimetabolite vs. cytostatic antibiotic), the dosage (20% LD50 vs. 60% LD50), the state of sensitization (r vs. 2° sensitized recipients), and the time of drug application in relation to the antigen treatment on day 0 (in varying steps from day -6 to day +4), so-called "pharmaconantigen- variation-effects" (PA VE) were established for each of the investigated drugs in form of reaction profiles. The results were as folIows: (1) For almost alt substances, characteristic reaction profiles involving immunostimulation and/or immunosuppression could be established. Similarities in the profiles of different substances made it possible to classify the drugs according to different reaction types. The reaction type however is not definitely correlated to the biochemical mechanism of drug action. (2) The PA VE are decisively inf/uenced by so me of the biological parameters, such as the time of drug application in relation to the antigen treatment and the state of sensitization but relatively !ittle by the dosage of the drug. (3) Considering the different processes occurring du ring primary and secondary immune responses, the PAVE may give hints for a distinct manipulation of the immunoregulation and thus information on the immunobiological mechanism of drug action.
In addition to the endocrine effects, the thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) is known to induce dose-dependent increases in blood pressure and heart rate after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration in urethane-anaesthetised rats (1, 2). The a~ of the present study was to investigate whether TRH has similar effects in conscious rats of various strains i.e. spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and Wistar (NR) rats.
H-Y-specific and H-2Db-restricted, Lyt-1 "2+ T-cell clones (CTLL) with graded specific cytotoxic activities on male C57BL/6 (B6) target cells (1E3, +++; 2C5, ++; 2A5, +, 3E6, ±) were tested for their capacity to inhibit the generation of H-Y-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vitro. Addition of irradiated lymphocytes of CTLL 1E3 and CTLL 3E6 but not those of CTLL 2A5 or CTLL 2C5 abolished the generation of CTL from in vivo primed H-Y-specific precursor cells (CTLP) when added to fresh mixed-lymphocyte cultures (MLC). Exogenous sources of T-cell growth factors (TCGF) did not overcome suppression. Rather the presence of TCGF resulted in a further enhancement of suppressive activities in CTLL 1E3 and 3E6 and the induction of similar activities in cells from CTLL 2A5 and 2C5, which by themselves were not inhibitory. Moreover when added to similar MLC on Day 1 instead of Day 0, only irradiated cells of CTLL 3E6 but not those of the other three CTLL were suppressive. Induction of suppressive activities in H-Y-specific CTLL was independent of the appropriate male stimulator cells since it was also observed in MLC induced by irrelevant antigens (H-2, trinitrophenol). Furthermore at low cell numbers, irradiated lymphocytes from any of the CTLL consistently enhanced CTL activities generated from H-Y-specific CTLP. This augmenting activity, which was not TCGF, could be transferred by soluble mediators present in antigen-sensitized CTLL cultures. Thus, these data indicate (i) that cytotoxic effector cells can function as suppressor cells in the generation of CTL, (ii) that the cytotoxic activity of cloned CTL does not correlate with their capacity to suppress CTL responses, (iii) that the inhibition of CTL responses by CTLL is not due to simple consumption of T-cell growth factors produced in MLC, and (iv) that different CTL clones may interfere with the generation of CTL at different stages of their maturation. Moreover, the experiments suggest an antigen-independent enhancement of suppression by the interaction of CTL with lymphokines. Together with the augmenting activity evoked by cloned CTL the data provide strong evidence for the expression of multiple immunological functions by one particular subset of T cells and suggest that cytotoxic effector cells can differentially regulate the maturation and/or clonal expression of their precursor cells.
This study addresses three themes that recur in the research on student achievement: (a) developmental modeling ofintraindividual changes in achievement over time; (b) examination of the differences among subgroups within a classroom in the determinants of achievement; (c) description of the interactions among instructional variables in determining achievement differences. Eight classrooms were preselected on the basis of their widely differing slopes obtained in a regression analysis of pre- and posttest achievement scores. Mathematics achievement differences among sixth graders were analyzed in a four-wave design and explained by aptitude and instructional variables in a structural equation framework provided by LISREL. The results demonstrate the local nature of achievement models in that neither their measurement nor structural components proved generalizable across both groups of classrooms. Mention is also made, however, of technical problems and analytical ambiguities in the interpretation of these results.
