- BookJanusz Marcinkiewicz, Stephen W. Schaffer, editors.Summary: Taurine 9 contains original articles and critical reviews based on the oral and poster presentations of XIX International Taurine Meeting held in Kraków, Poland in May 2014. The purpose of the book is to present current ideas, new avenues and research regarding biological functions and clinical applications of taurine and taurine derivatives. It focuses on all aspects of taurine research including the cardiovascular system, the immune system, diabetes, the central nervous system, endocrine system and the role of taurine supplements in nutrition. It also includes presentations of novel animal experimental models using Cdo1 and CSAD knock-out mice.Digital Access Springer 2015Access via Advances in experimental medicine and biology ; 2015; 803LocationVersionCall NumberItems
- ArticleMabuchi A, Kanamori S, Yokomuro K, Kimura Y.Microbiol Immunol. 1979;23(7):669-78.A factor that decreases rosette formation between guinea pig T-cells and rabbit red blood cells (RRBC) was extracted from the thymus of the guinea pig. The active factor could be extracted from the spleen as well as the thymus, but not from the liver or kidney. The active factor of the thymic extract was found in the precipitates produced by 80% saturated ammonium sulfate and it was separated from the water-soluble fraction of the precipitates. The molecular weight of the partially purified substance was estimated to range between 10,000 and 30,000 by filtration through a diaflow membrane. From the studies on physicochemical characterization, it might be a heat-resistant basic peptide probably bound to a ribonucleotide moiety. This factor reduced rosette formation between RRBC and guinea pig T-cells, but did not reduce erythrocyte-antibody-complement rosette formation. This factor also inhibited mitogen (concanavalin A, phytohemagglutinin-P)- induced DNA synthesis of guinea pig lymphocytes and antigen-induced DNA synthesis of sensitized guinea pig lymphocytes.
