Some aspects of the bacteriologic and immunologic status in parturient women and newborns.

In the search for new methods of diagnosing or suspension of intrauterine infection, bacteriologic methods were used, sections of the placenta were examined, content of IgG, IgA and IgM immunoglobulins was determined, and neutrophilic leukocytes in peripheral blood were counted in the parturient women and their children, and in neonates polymorphonuclear leukocytes were also counted in gastric smears. The studies were carried out in two groups. Group I was composed of 24 randomly selected parturient women and their children, and group II of parturient women and their children in whom infection was suspected. The results confirm the existence of defense mechanisms which protect against infection in most cases.

The determination of tryptophan and tyrosine in native proteins on the basis of inner filter effect in spectrofluorimetry.

Determination of tryptophan content in proteins, or tyrosine in proteins not containing tryptophan, is described. The method was applied to five proteins containing from 2 to 8 tryptophan residues per molecule. It was found that the simultaneous presence of a large amount of tyrosine in the protein has no influence on the accuracy of tryptophan determination.
