Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of human diarrhoeal disease, but specific virulence mechanisms have not been well defined. The aims of the present blinded study were to measure and compare the...

Four strains of rats were each infected intrabronchially with approximately 10(8) CFU of Bordetella pertussis 18-323 encased in fine agarose beads. After 8 days, Sprague-Dawley rats developed the...
Porter, J F, Parton, R, Wardlaw, A C
Bordetella bronchiseptica showed increases in viable count when incubated in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), in reagent-grade water, and in local lake and pond waters, all without added nutrients....
Modulation of Bordetella pertussis by nicotinic acid.
McPheat, W L, Wardlaw, A C, Novotny, P
Growth of Bordetella pertussis in a high concentration of nicotinic acid (NA) had a modulating effect on several properties and activities of the bacteria. Compared with normally grown cells, those...

The Effect of Ionic Strength on the Haemolytic Activity of Complement
The haemolytic activity of guinea-pig complement has been measured in isotonic solutions of various ionic strengths in the range 0.034–0.28 and shown to be maximum at an ionic strength close to...
Observations on pH and haemolytic complement
The effect of pH on the haemolytic activity of guinea-pig complement was studied over the range 6.0–8.3 using veronal—acetate and bicarbonate buffers of essentially constant ionic strength and...
The Opsonic Effect of Normal Serum on the Uptake of Bacteria by the Recticulo-Endothelial System
A technique is described for perfusing the isolated rat liver with viable bacteria and for comparing their phagocytosis by Kupffer cells when different suspending fluids are used successively.
Howard, J. G., Rowley, D., Wardlaw, A. C.
The stimulation of non-specific immunity by lipopolysaccharides could not be correlated with the serum properdin level at the time of challenge. Zymosan was effective in stimulating an increase in...

The adjuvanticity of a phenotypic (C-mode) variant of B. pertussis, known to be deficient in certain immunological and physiopathological properties, was compared to that of the normal (X-mode)...
Antitoxic and antiviral antibodies in Cohn fractions of human plasma
Painter, R. H., Weber, J. C. W., Wardlaw, A. C.
Titrations of diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis and measles antibodies have been made on large pools of plasma from Canadian blood donors and on immune serum globulins (ISG) and other plasma protein...
Cinader, B., Dubiski, S., Wardlaw, A. C.
An antigen, MuB1, present in the sera of some mice, can elicit a precipitating antibody in certain other strains of mice. An antibody to the antigen MuB1 can also be elicited in rabbits. 99 strains...
