Immunologic tolerance: role of the regional lymph node.

Dansyl chloride, a skin setnsitizer when injected in complete Freund's adjuvant, induced marked tolerance and no sensitization when applied to the intact skin of guinea pigs. Application of this chemical to alymphatic skin islands failed to induce tolerance or sensitization. Lymnphatic connections between skin and regional lymph nodes were essential for the developmnent of ismmunologic toleance.

Numerical diagnostic key for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae.

A numerical diagnostic key for enteric organisms is described which permits the identification of typical strains and of biochemical variants with high accuracy. Unknown strains are inoculated into a basic set of five media which permit the testing of eight biochemical reactions. The positive reactions are assigned points, and the score of a strain is added up, after which the identification of the strain is obtained from a table. In many instances, the final identification is obtained with this set of biochemical tests; and, in other instances, a small number of additional tests are required to distinguish between organisms giving the same score in the basic set of biochemical tests. The key permits an accurate, rapid, and economical differentiation of the typical and the more common atypical biotypes of enteric organisms in the clinical laboratory.

Tuberculin-active carbohydrate that induces inhibition of macrophage migration but not lymphocyte transformation.

A tuberculin carbohydrate fraction, GAE, in sensitized animals induced a delayed type of skin reactivity and inhibited the migration of macrophages but failed to stimulate lymphocyte transformation in vitro. Tuberculin protein-containing fractions were active in each test. These results show that in vitro lymphocyte transformation is not necessarily a corollary of delayed type hypersensitivity.
