The human pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniac causes primary atypical-cold agglutinin-positive pneumonia. Since alveolar macrophages internalize mycoplasma as part of their immune defense, we studied characteristics of the human macrophage receptor for opsonized and nonopsonized M. pneumoniae. The glass-adhering subpopulation of M.

A high molecular polyanion, Liquoid, was found to inhibit at nontoxic concentrations (12-50 micrograms/ml) the natural killing (NK) and the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxic (ADCC) activity of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells selectively. Whereas NK of the K 562 target cell

Liquoid (polyanethole sulfonate) was neither capable of influencing the growth nor the viability of staphylococci. But liquoid induced a suppression of the activity of different autolytic wall systems of normally growing staphylococci, i.e., autolysins which participate in cross wall separation
Liquoid induces microvascular thrombosis and renal cortical necrosis in experimental animals. We hypothesized that thrombosis and renal cortical necrosis may, at least in part, result from the inhibition of the fibrinolytic system by liquoid. Effects of liquoid on plasminogen activation
Cell lysis was efficiently induced in Staphylococcus aureus by the addition of 0.3 M NaCl to exponentially growing cultures at 30 degrees C. When cells harvested at the exponential phase were incubated in buffer with NaCl, autolysis occurred. Treatment with
