(8) In vitro tests demonstrated approximately sevenfold greater filter length shortening (a measure of filter splaying) for the titanium GF in response to a given applied load.
(9) Pretreatment of PNA- thymocytes with neuraminidase enhanced thymocyte binding to macrophages up to sevenfold, whereas a marked reduction of rosette formation was seen following (1) incubation of thymocytes with tunicamycin; (2) incubation of macrophages with 20 mM D-galactose, GLCNaC, or GalNaC; (3) treatment of macrophages or thymocytes with trypsin; (4) treatment of macrophages with anti-1-Ab mAb and its F(ab')2 fragment; (5) treatment of thymocytes with anti-Lyt-2.2 mAb; and (6) addition of EDTA and EGTA to the interacted two cell populations.

(11) The addition of myo-inositol (5 x 10(-4) M) to synthetic culture media increased the class A nucleation activity of both Ice+ E. coli strains and P. syringae up to sevenfold but had no stimulating effect on ice nucleation at lower temperatures (class B and class C nucleation activities).
(12) H9 cells chronically infected with two of the three HIV-1 strains studied showed approximately a sevenfold increase in attachment to fibronectin, while the same cells infected with the human retrovirus HIV-2 did not.
