The identification of outer membrane proteins and flagella of Campylobacter jejuni.

The outer membrane proteins of five clinical isolates of Campylobacter jejuni were identified by 125I-surface labelling and SDS-PAGE of outer membrane preparations. All isolates expressed a major outer membrane protein of variable molecular weight (43 000-46 000: 43K-46K). Several constant surface proteins were also identified including a 27K protein which was surface-exposed and acid-extractable but was not present in the outer membrane preparations. Isolated flagella comprised a major 62K protein and a minor 87K protein. Both proteins were absent in an aflagellate variant. The 62K protein was immunoblotted and immunoprecipitated by rabbit anti-flagella antisera.

Differentiation of alcoholics. Childhood history of minimal brain dysfunction, family history, and drinking pattern.

Alcoholics were differentiated into two subgroups on the basis of drinking patterns and subjective response to alcohol. Severe drinkers (primary alcoholics) retrospectively reported more symptoms of childhood minimal brain dysfunction than less severe drinkers (secondary alcoholics), psychiatric patients, and normals. The alcoholics as a group reported a greater incidence of familial alcohol abuse than the psychiatric subjects, but a difference on this factor was not observed between the primary and secondary subgroups. In terms of clinical status, the primary alcoholics presented Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory profile more indicative of normality than the other groups, but scored significantly higher on the MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale. These findings are discussed in light of further delineating a specific subtype of alcoholism that may have a genetic-constitutional relationship with other pathological disorders.
