Antigenicity of casein enzymatic hydrolysate.

An enzymatic hydrolysate of bovine casein were studied for molecular size and antigenic properties. As determined by Sephadex G-25 gel filtration, polypeptide fractions having molecular weights greater than 1,000 were not detected in the soluble fraction of the casein hydrolysate. Antigenicity of the fraction was not detected by heterologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in guinea pig-rabbit antiserum system mediated by immunoglobulin G types of antibody (guinea pig passive cutaneous anaphylaxis) and its inhibition test. Furthermore, it was not detected by rat long latency homologous mediated by immunoglobulin E antibody and its inhibition test. To prepare anticasein immunoglobulin E serum for rat long latency homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, immunization of rats was by single subcutaneous injection of casein with aluminum hydroxide. Antiserum with highest passive cutaneous anaphylaxis titer (1:64) against bovine casein was obtained by a dose of 2,000 micrograms of the protein at day 12.

The glabella-inion line as a baseline for CT scanning of the brain.

The optimal position of the head for CT scanning of the brain is discussed according to the statistical data of roentgencraniometry. The glabella-inion (GI) line was shown to be parallel to the frontal-occipital pole (FO) line which was substituted for a line joining the deepest gyral impressions in frontal and occipital parts of the cranial cavity. On the other hand, Reid's baseline and the canthomeatal (CM) line intersected the GI line at various angles from person to person. There was a significant difference between each average inclination angle of males and females. Regarding using either Reid's or the CM line for a baseline, it should be noted that the brains were scanned in almost random direction. Therefore it may be convenient to apply the GI line for comparing the findings between individuals, and for correlating them to the anatomical diagnosis.
