(9) Antigenic variation of gonococcal pili results from the unidirectional transfer of genetic information from variant-encoding partial pilin genes to an active expression locus.
(10) Both motility and the production of pili are transient when initiated in this way.
(11) We also found that the antigens distributed in arrector pili muscles and the walls of muscular vessels were obviously related to the unmyelinated nerve fibers innervating the smooth muscle cells.
(12) The pili of S7 were morphologically, electrophoretically, and immunologically (as far as polyclonal antibody was used) indistinguishable from the 16-kilodalton pili of V. cholerae O1 strain 82P7.
(13) Although pili can form without PapF and PapG, such pili are unable to bind to the digalactoside.
(14) The ability of Typhimurium to adhere to and invade epithelial cells has been associated with flagella, pili of type I and mannose-resistant haemagglutinating activity.
(15) Electron microscopy of negatively stained bacteria was carried out to visualize pili.
(16) Sodium cyanide, azide, and iodoacetate also apparently inhibit f2 adsorption to cells but not to detached F pili.
(17) In course of in vitro passages up to 10. subculture morphological changes of the pili have been observed.
(18) Subunit (pilin) of the purified pili has a molecular weight of about 16,000.
(19) K99+, 987P+, and type 1 pilus+ bacteria could be prevented from adhering to epithelial cells by Fab fragments specific for K99, 987P, or type 1 pili, respectively.
(20) The use of low accelerating voltages and conductive staining procedures allowed us to obtain images of colonization factor antigen I pili and other structural details which were obscured by conventional gold-coating techniques.

(9) The results of these measurements were used to calculate the prognostic inflammatory and nutritional index (PINI).
(10) PINI scores were significantly related to medical severity of illness, length of hospital stay, disposition at discharge, number of secondary medical diagnoses and specialty consults, and scores on three different hospital classification systems used for staffing.
(11) In one line they evolved into single-pored species such as R. pollinis-pini, then to Chytridium and tendochytrium-like chytrids and to polycentric chytrids such as Nowakowskiella and Cladochytrium.
