Blood specimens from a sample of 373 Marshall Islanders were studied with reference to variants of 23 serum proteins and erythrocyte enzymes. Six of the traits studied exhibited genetic polymorphisms (adenosine deaminase, phosphoglucomutase1, acid phosphatase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, haptoglobin, and group specific component). There were in addition four "rare" variants (albumin, transferrin, lactate dehydrogenase, and galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) involving nine persons, among 8,503 determinations. The frequency of rare variants in Micronesians was compared with the frequencies in West European Caucasians and Amerindians. There are many difficulties in such comparisons, and although the observed values for the three ethnic groups differ by a factor of three (the Micronesians exhibiting the lowest frequency), it is felt that no firm conclusions concerning differences between ethnic groups can be drawn at this time.

A comparative biochemical study on some enzymes of glycogenolysis, glycolysis and the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway in various fractions (cyst wall, cyst fluid and zoites) of the sarcocysts of Sarcocystis fusiformis from the oesophageal muscles of naturally infected Indian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) was carried out. The pattern and the magnitude of enzymic activity differed markedly in these fractions. Phosphorylase, hexokinase, aldolase and pyruvate kinase showed their highest levels of activity in the zoites fractions, whereas lactate dehydrogenase was the highest in cyst fluid. Alcohol dehydrogenases were non-detectable. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were localized in the cyst wall only. Zoites were considered to be the most active metabolic sites for glucose breakdown.

1. The relationship between red cell aging and enzyme activities was studied in rabbit, guinea-pig, hamster, rats (F344/N and SD), and mice (BALB/c and DBA/2). 2. The activities of six enzymes: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD), hexokinase (Hx), glutamate oxaloacetate transminase (GOT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), were measured in the red cells of different ages which were obtained either by centrifugation or experimental anaemia. 3. Hx, AChE and GOT activities were much higher in younger red cells than in older cells, hence the activities of these enzymes may be used as an indicator of age of the cells.

1. Interstrain differences in red blood cell enzyme activities were studied in mice (BALB/c, C57BL/6, C3H/He, DBA/2 and ddY) and rats (Donryu, F344/N, SD, Wistar and Wistar/ST), and were also compared with hamster, guinea-pig and rabbit. 2. The enzyme activities measured were: glutathione S-transferase (GST), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD), NADPH-diaphorase (ND), hexokinase (Hx), glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). 3. There were marked variations in the activities of some red cell enzymes (e.g. GST, Hx, ND), while others (e.g. G-6-PD, 6-PGD) were much less variable both within different strains and species.

Data are presented for 16 enzymes from 8 metabolic systems in cell cultures consisting of approximately 95% astrocytes and 5% oligodendrocytes. Nine of these enzymes were also measured in cultures of oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, and neurons prepared from both cerebral cortex and superior cervical ganglia. Activities, in mature astrocyte cultures, expressed as percentage of their activity in brain, ranged from 9% for glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to over 300% for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Creatine phosphokinase activity in astrocytes was about the same as in brain, half as high in oligodendrocytes, but 7% or less of the brain level in Schwann cells and superior cervical ganglion neurons and only 16% of brain in cortical neurons. Three enzymes which generate NADPH, the dehydrogenases for glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate, and the NADP-requiring isocitrate dehydrogenase, were present in astrocytes at levels at least twice that of brain. Oligodendrocytes had enzyme levels only 30% to 70% of those of astrocytes. Schwann cells had much higher lactate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities than oligodendrocytes, but showed a remarkable similarity in enzyme pattern to those of cortical and superior cervical ganglion neurons.

Cricetid rodents, Peromyscus truei and P. boylii, were inoculated with sporulated oocysts of Eimeria arizonensis collected from wild P. truei maintained in the lab. In P. truei the prepatent period was 4-5 days, the patent period was 9-11 days, and sporulated oocysts were 21.5 x 25.0 (20-23 x 24-26) microns with sporocysts 7.7 x 12.0 (6-8 x 10-13) microns. In P. boylii the prepatent period was 6-7 days, the patent period was 8-9 days, and sporulated oocysts were 20.1 x 23.2 (18-22 x 21-24) microns with sporocysts 6.8 x 10.0 (5-8 x 9-12) microns. Sporulated oocysts from both host species were used in direct side-by-side comparison of isozyme banding patterns using protein electrophoresis. The parasite has polytypic loci for leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD). In oocysts from P. truei, LAP showed one band with fast migration and LDH and 6-PGD each showed two bands, one with fast and one with slow migration. In oocysts from P. boylii, LAP and LDH each had one band with slow migration and 6-PGD had one band with moderate migration. Oocysts of E. arizonensis collected from P. boylii were used to inoculate P. truei. The prepatent and patent periods, structural measurements, and isozyme banding patterns of the resultant oocysts were the same as those from P. truei when inoculated with oocysts from P. truei.

Nineteen southern African isolates of Plasmodium falciparum were typed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, using 5 enzymes (glucose phosphate isomerase, adenosine deaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase). Limited variation was found amongst the isolates and the frequencies of variants were similar to those of isolates from other parts of the world. Eight of the isolates contained 2 forms of glucose phosphate isomerase, indicating clonal heterogeneity. One of these 8 isolates also contained 2 forms of adenosine deaminase and another showed 2 forms of lactate dehydrogenase.

The activities of 6 enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism were determined quantitatively in preovulatory oocytes by cytochemical means per individual cell as well as biochemically in cell homogenates. Oocytes were incorporated in a polyacrylamide matrix for appropriate enzyme cytochemical staining. This incorporation preserves the morphology of the cells very well, and the enzymes keep their activity for a considerable period of time. This method could also be used to demonstrate more than one enzyme activity in the same cell. The results obtained by cytochemical means appeared to correlate very well with the biochemical data (P less than 0.005). Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the key-enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, had very high activity in these preovulatory oocytes, but 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity was only about 2% of that of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase and to a lesser extent glucose phosphate isomerase and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase also appeared to be very high, while hexokinase showed a very low activity.

Hospital isolates of Enterobacter cloacae were analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for enzyme polymorphism and the results were compared with established serotyping, phage typing and biotyping techniques. Initially, the diversity of electromorphs of 13 enzymes was determined on a representative set of 62 distinct strains. Two broad clusters of strains were found in the species, and analysis by serotype suggested a limited diversity within the most frequent O serotypes. A subset of three enzymes, lactate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase and an unidentified marker, were selected and used to type groups of hospital isolates. There was good general agreement between the two systems, although the enzyme method failed to distinguish between some strains with the same serotype. This method provided useful epidemiological information and, in the absence of established typing systems, it is a practical approach to subdividing the species.

The genetic structure of two Chukot Evens subpopulations (314 individuals) for electrophoretic protein systems and taste sensitivity to PTC was studied. 17 of the 39 loci were polymorphic (43.59%). The following systems were completely monomorphic: diaphorase NAD H (Dia); glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD); glutamatoxalate transaminase (GOT); carbonic anhydrase (Ca-1); catalase (Ct), lactate dehydrogenase (loci LDH-A and LDH-B); leucine aminopeptidase (Lap); malate dehydrogenase (MDH); purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP); superoxide phosphorylase (PNP); superoxide dismutase (SOD); phosphoglucomutase-2 (PGM2); cholinesterase (locus E1); red cell esterase (4 loci); albumin (Alb); hemoglobin (Hb A and B); ceruloplasmin (Cp); and blood, gren, using the standard method. The following systems were polymorphic: red cell acid phosphatase (AcP); phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1); 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD); glutamatepyruvate transaminase (GPT); glyoxalase-1 (GLO-1); esterase (EsD); adenilatkinase (AK); alkaline phosphatase (Pp); cholinesterase (locus E2); haptoglobin (Hp); transferrin (Tf); group-specific component (Gc) and ABO, MN, Lewis, P blood groups and taste sensitivity to PTC. The following allele frequencies for polymorphic loci have been detected: AKI = 0.994; GLO = 1I = 0.082; GPT1 = 0.653; AcPA = 0.400; AcPB = 0.599; AcPC = 0.001; PGDA = 0.944; PGM1(1) = 0.906; EsD1 = 0.897; E2+ = 0.048; HpI = 0.394; GcI = 0,919; Tfc = 0.987; r(O) = 0.669; p(A) = 0.184; q(B) = 0.146; M = 0.711; Le = 0.411; P1+ = 0.521; t = 0.295. The genetic structure of Chukot Evens population is significantly nearer to that of the other ethnic groups of the North-East, in comparison with the genetic structure of Evenks of the Middle Siberia.
