(5) The atherometric system proved to be useful to distinguish between HAG and LAG.
(6) Lowering the extracellular Ca2+ concentration to 6 or 50 microM attenuated markedly the glycogenolytic and haemodynamic responses to HAG; efflux of Ca2+ from the liver was not observed in response to HAG.
(7) The chromosomal locus containing the wild-type flagellin allele was replaced with a defective allele of the gene (delta hag-633) that contained a 633-base-pair deletion.
(8) (iii) The hag gene was expressed in mutants with flaS, flaT, flaU, and flbC defects.
(9) HAG and HAgC were observed to collect in coated pits whereas wild-type HA was excluded from those structures.

(13) The positive inotropic responses and coronary perfusion pressure effects elicited by PMA and PDBu were largely prevented by the addition of the PKC inhibitors H7 (6 nM) or HAG (10 nM); however, these drugs were without effect on the negative inotropic response to higher concentrations of both PKC-activating (PMA, PDBu) and non-PKC-activating (alpha PDD, 4 alpha-phorbol) phorbol compounds.

(16) Heat aggregated human (HAG) IgG pretreated with total rheumatoid factors isolated from the serum of rheumatoid arthritis patients showed decreased superoxide generation enhancing activity as compared with HAG pretreated with buffer alone.
(17) Sequencing of this hag gene revealed that it encodes a protein of 272 amino acids (M(r) 29,995).
(18) These results suggested that 5-HT does not release PRL through a direct pituitary action, and that the effect observed in HAG animals could be mediated through the release of a PRL-releasing factor after 5-HT administration.
(19) Of eighteen such transductants sixteen failed to show phase variation, and on transduction back to Salmonella each structural gene for a phase-2 flagellin (or at least for its antigenically determinant part) now behaved as an allele of H1, presumably in consequence of incorporation in the hag region of the K12 recipient, in place of H1-i ah1.
(20) It was shown that at HAg greater than or equal to 25% the strains used for antigen and antibody generation were closely related and at HAg less than or equal to 6.25% belonged to different subtypes.
