Opsonic characteristics of chylomicron-bound protein.

A blood protein in complex with native chylomicrons was labeled with radiogold colloid, thus indirectly identifying the protein material in the complex as opsonin and suggesting the possibility that native chylomicrons may utilize the opsonin system for its clearance from the circulation. The protein in question has been shown to be at least divalent, in that the protein in combination with one type of particle could still react with another. It is felt that these studies provide further insight into the complex surface events that result during the process of opsonization.

Dual-channel facilitation of the 99mTc radiocardiogram.

A refinement of the radionuclide-angiocardiogram is described using a low deadtime scintillation camera and hardwire data storage, processing, and display system for the purpose of anatomic definition of the passage of a radioactive bolus through the carciopulmonary circulation by dual-channel, dual-color, subtraction methodology. The summation of the bolus pathway is displayed as a static frame of reference for the sequential kinetic image. The technique is noninvasive and employs 15 mCi of 99mTc pertechnetate. This procedure may be employed as the conventional bolus study for determining the cardiac kinetics ordinarily obtained by the method. The opportunity of viewing the bolus position in relation to its entire pathway significantly facilitates defining the multiple areas of interest the observer may wish to study.
