Papain-treated globulins in specific and cross-reacting immunofluorescent staining.

Jones, Wallis L. (Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Ga.), and J. W. Foster. Papain-treated globulins in specific and cross-reacting immunofluorescent staining. J. Bacteriol. 91:984-986. 1966.-Cross-reaction staining with preimmune and specific fluorescein conjugates to Corynebacterium diphtheriae was studied by use of papain-treated antisera. Enzyme-treated antisera were labeled and chromatographically separated into three fractions. Fractions were tested by both direct and inhibition fluorescent-antibody procedures. The cross-reaction staining was found in all three fractions, whereas specific staining was found in only two fractions.

Role of bacterial chemical components in immunofluorescence.

Jones, Wallis L. (Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Ga.), and Vester J. Lewis. Role of bacterial chemical components in immunofluorescence. J. Bacteriol. 91:1700-1704. 1966.-The problem of heterologous staining of bacteria in pure culture and in clinical specimens by fluorescein-labeled antisera for Corynebacterium diphtheriae was examined by observing the presence of particular cellular components in the bacteria involved. Decreases in the degree of staining of C. diphtheriae, diphtheroids, and cocci by the immunofluorescent reagent were shown to accompany hydrolytic removal from the cells of specific compounds, the identities of which varied from those of the treated organisms.

Renal cortical necrosis and Purtscher's retinopathy in hemorrhagic pancreatitis.

A patient presented with acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis complicated by both renal cortical necrosis and Purtscher's retinopathy. Either of these two complications is rare and never before have both been reported in the same patient. The patient's renal insufficiency required hemodialysis; it gradually improved over two years when dialysis could be discontinued. The patient's retinopathy included bilateral hemorrhages and cotton wool spots; visual fields and acuity remained normal. Funduscopic lesions disappeared by three months after the acute event. These two rare vasculo-occlusive complications of pancreatitis simultaneously occurring in one individual might suggest complement-mediated leukostatic mechanisms.
