- A detector setup for the cooler storage ring CELSIUS is described. The setup detects particles produced in interactions between the internal beam and a cluster-jet target. Particles emitted in the forward direction are measured by means of arrays of plastic scintillators and proportional counters. Particles, particularly photons, emitted more isotropically are measured by means of two calorimeters containing CsI(Na) crystals. The performance of the setup is given for neutral meson production in proton-proton and proton-deuteron interactions in the energy range 290-1360 MeV.

- The status of the search for NN-decoupled resonances in the πNN-system is reviewed. After a short survey on the history of dibaryon searches reactions suitable for detecting such resonances are discussed. Special emphasis is put on the pionic double charge exchange, where recently evidence for the signature of a narrow πNN resonance, called d′, with I(J P) = even (0 -) and m = 2.06 GeV has been quoted. Further reactions discussed in this context are the pion photoproduction on the deuteron and the two-pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions.

- Due to their abundance in epithelial cells and deposition in necrotic regions intratumorally, cytokeratins (CKs) have been established as valuable targets for both radioimmunolocalization and radioimmunotherapy. The target epitope for the monoclonal anti-CK8 antibody, TS1, used for both experimental radioimmunolocalization and radioimmunotherapy, was determined by means of synthesis of 96 overlapping peptides that covered the entire CK8 molecule. A highly conserved peptide sequence, spanning amino acids (aa) 343-357 and covering the discontinuous epitope in the helical 2B domain, was identified. The epitope retains its helical structure, as shown with circular dichroism spectroscopy, although the length of the peptide (ie., >20 aa) is crucial for maintenance of immunoreactivity. To determine which aa residues are crucial for binding to the monoclonal antibody, alanine scanning was performed on a 26-mer covering aa 340-365, with the sequence QRGELAIKDANAKLSELEAALQRAKQ. The 26 modified peptides were evaluated using ELISA and BIAcore technology. The uniqueness of this epitope has been established by data base sequence comparisons.

- OBJECTIVE: Based on the hypothesis that blood flow in the inflamed joint is inadequate to maintain aerobic glycolysis, we sought to estimate the correlation between blood flow, glucose metabolism, and cellular proliferation rate in the arthritic joint. METHODS: Experiments were performed on rats with antigen induced arthritis (AIA). Regional blood flows (RBF) were measured with the microsphere technique, glucose metabolism by determination of [14C]2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) uptake, and the proliferative response as the incorporation of [3H]-thymidine. RESULTS: In periarticular soft tissue of the arthritic knee the only significant change in the weight related RBF was an approximate 70% rise on Day 14 after arthritis onset. The RBF was lowest on Day 3 and the time course for the changes was inversely related to intensity of vascular inflammation. Weight related 2-DG uptake was more elevated than the RBF and peaked on Day 3. [3H]-thymidine incorporation in the soft tissue was only markedly enhanced on Day 3. Neither 2-DG nor [3H]-thymidine uptake was affected by treatment with methotrexate or indomethacin. In epiphyseal bone RBF was reduced on the first day of arthritis, but steadily increased thereafter. CONCLUSION: In AIA an intense vascular leakiness negatively affects the synovial blood. There is a marked enhancement of glucose metabolism, but only a minor part of this increase seems to be induced by increased cellular proliferation.

- OBJECTIVE: To measure intracellular and tissue pH in periarticular soft tissue during different phases of antigen induced arthritis in the rat. METHODS: pH was calculated using the following values: (1) the distribution of [14C]-dimethyl-oxazolidinedione; (2) the total tissue water and the extracellular space water volume, which was measured as [14C]-sucrose distribution in nephrectomized rats. Experiments were performed during both maximal inflammation (Day 3) and the restorative phase (Day 14). RESULTS: In all animals both tissue (pHt) and intracellular (pHi) pH were lower in arthritic joints than in the contralateral control. Mean pHt in control joints was 7.37+/-0.03. In arthritic rats it was 7.30+/-0.05 on Day 3 after challenge and 7.27+/-0.03 on Day 14. The pHi ranges were 6.86-7.81 for controls, 6.65-7.28 for arthritis Day 3, and 5.66-6.91 for arthritis Day 14. CONCLUSION: In this model there is a reduction in pH in the periarticular tissue of arthritic joints. The magnitude is, however, relatively small and the pannus tissue is not uniquely acidic in comparison with other compartments. There does not seem to be a correlation between pH and changes in metabolic balance, pannus formation, or healing.
