[Herpes simplex virus in the saliva of immunosuppressed patients (author's transl)].

Attempts to isolate Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) from the saliva of patients submitted to immunosuppressive drugs after renal transplantation were undertaken in the early part of the week following the graft. Results showed that the virus constantly appeared in the salvia of patients with serological positive tests to HSV. The presence of HSV was generally detected a few days before the appearance of the clinical disease.

[Formation of "Rosettes" induced by polyethylene glycol].

Human blood cells were washed and treated by PEG 6 000 (40% solution in BME) at 37 degrees for 15 min. A strong agglutination was observed. After dilution with 3 vol. of BME and shaking, microscopic examination at low magnification revealed small aggregates disseminated in dispersed population of erythrocytes. These aggregates were shown to be formed by a polymorphonuclear cell closely surrounded by erythrocytes. The possible explanation of the formation of such "Rosettes" was briefly discussed.

[Application of the distal bronchial brushing technic to the bacteriological diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis].

The tubercle bacillus was sought in samples obtained by bronchial brushing in 36 patients whose tuberculosis was demonstrated and in whom a direct examination of the sputum had given only negative results. In 5 cases, the tubercle bacillus was demonstrated only in the sample obtained by brushing, by direct examination and positive cultures in one case and in the other cases, culturutum coughed up after brushing.

[Herpes simplex virus antibodies in 18 patients submitted to immunosuppressive agents after renal transplantation].

The titer of circulating antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1 was tested in 18 patients for a few months before and after renal transplantation. No clinical illness was observed in the group of patients lacking antibodies. On the contrary, half of those with antibodies developed cutaneous eruption within 2 to 4 weeks following treatment with immunosuppressive drugs. No relationship could be found between the appearance of clinical illness and the rise in antibody titer. This lack of correlation could be explained by the multiple modifications occurring in the immune system of the host submitted to immunosuppressive drugs.

Purification of mouse interferon by affinity chromatography on a solid-phase immunoadsorbent.

A solid-phase immunoadsorbent capable of binding mouse interferon has been prepared. Starting from crude tissue-culture material, interferon could be purified 1990 times in a single step of affinity chromatography. Overall recovery ranged from 55 to 103% with tissue culture and mouse-brain interferon; however, only 5% was obtained with Sendai virus-induced interferon from mouse serum.
