13. Antibodies against papillomavirus antigens in cervical secretions from condyloma patients.
Samples of cervical secretions and serum from 30 women with genital condylomas and 30 age-matched controls were tested for the presence of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgG antibodies against a panel of papillomavirus-derived antigens. The same cervical samples were also analyzed for presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA by Southern blotting and polymerase

14. Early and early disseminated phases of Lyme disease in the rhesus monkey: a model for infection in humans.
We demonstrate that Borrelia burgdorferi infection in the rhesus monkey mimics the early and early disseminated phases of human Lyme disease. Clinical, bacteriological, immunological, and pathological signs of infection were investigated during 13 weeks after inoculation of the spirochete. Three animals were given B. burgdorferi (strain JD1) by needle inocul

15. Protection against a Lethal Avian Influenza A Virus in a Mammalian System
The question of how best to protect the human population against a potential influenza pandemic has been raised by the recent outbreak caused by an avian H5N1 virus in Hong Kong. The likely strategy would be to vaccinate with a less virulent, laboratory-adapted H5N1 strain isolated previously from birds. Little attention has been given, however, to dissectin

16. Immunology of the monobactam aztreonam.
To assess the immunological cross-reactivity of the monobactam antibiotic aztreonam (AZ), rabbits were immunized with protein conjugates of benzylpenicillin, cephalothin (CEPH), and AZ. The resulting antibenzylpenicilloyl (BPO) and anti-CEPH rabbit antibodies showed negligible cross-reactivity with AZ conjugated to human serum albumin (AZ-HSA), whereas anti-

17. Cloning and expression of Treponema pallidum (Nichols) antigen genes in Escherichia coli.
Hybrid pBR322 plasmid clone banks comprised of more than 125,000 recombinant DNA clones and representing the entire Treponema pallidum Nichols genome were constructed in Escherichia coli K-12 RR1. The two clone banks individually contain over 53,000 and 72,000 recombinant clones. The number average and mass average sizes of the cloned DNA inserts were found
