Plaque formation by alphavirus (Getah) in Culex Mosquito cells.

Plaques were formed by Getah virus (an Alphavirus) which had been grown in BHK cells and passaged once in Culex cells before inoculation of Culex cell cultures. Plaques were not produced either by Getah or Japanese encephalitis (JE) viruses which had been passaged only in BHK cells. Plaque counts in Culex cell monolayers were almost the same as in BHK cells.

Effect of dihydroergotoxine on activities of beta-receptor stimulators.

The effect of dihydroergotoxine (DET), an alpha-receptor blocker, on the bronchodilating effect of various beta-receptor stimulators was examined using the isolated guinea-pig tracheal smooth muscle. Relaxation of isolated guinea-pig tracheal smooth muscle with isoproterenol hydrochloride, salbutamol hemisulfate and clorprenaline hydrochloride, was markedly increased by continous infusion of DET. This result may suggest that DET, an alpha-receptor blocker, can be used together with bronchodilators such as beta-receptor stimulator for the treatment of various chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.
