Virulence spectra of typed strains of Campylobacter jejuni from different sources: a blinded in vivo study (2009)

Coote, J.G., Thompson, D.H., Candlish, D., Wardlaw, A.C., Candlish, A.

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...

Differences in coughing and other responses to intrabronchial infection with Bordetella pertussis among strains of rats.

Hall, E, Parton, R, Wardlaw, A C

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...

Growth and survival of Bordetella bronchiseptica in natural waters and in buffered saline without added nutrients.

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

Wardlaw, A. C., Walker, H. G.

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

Ibe, E. C., Wardlaw, A. C.

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

Howard, J. G., Wardlaw, A. C.

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.

Investigations on the Mechanism of Stimulation of Non-Specific Immunity by Bacterial Lipopolysaccharides

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...

Loss of adjuvanticity in rats for the hyperacute form of allergic encephalomyelitis and for reaginic antibody production in mice of a phenotypic variant of Bordetella pertussis.

Wardlaw, A C, Parton, R, Bergman, R K, Munoz, J J

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...

DISTRIBUTION, INHERITANCE, AND PROPERTIES OF AN ANTIGEN, MUB1, AND ITS RELATION TO HEMOLYTIC COMPLEMENT

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...
