SUPPORT FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH

迪拉德大学建议涉及三（3）教师和九（9）学生 生物医学研究项目如下：美国的水平衡 蟑螂 氚水液体闪烁计数法用于水的示踪 移动将与柱层析和电泳相结合， 体液、体液中蛋白质的生物测定和 神经分泌组织，以确定额神经节在控制 美国蟑螂体内的水分平衡。 真菌抗原的皮肤测试。 将比较支原体感染患者的皮肤试验反应， 那些“正常”人群，如护理学生和托儿所工作人员 和其他相关领域。 土壤采集、培养和小鼠接种 描绘微小病灶并揭示申克孢子丝菌的完美阶段 将进行。 真菌免疫学诊断方法的改进 疾病将被发现。 牛角膜粘蛋白的表征。 角膜粘蛋白被确定为角膜水化的主要贡献者， 角膜将通过电泳分级来表征。 浓度 并且将在牛角膜中鉴定水合梯度。 的作用 粘蛋白在胶原纤维的有序配置将被研究 并确定了它们在角膜透明度中的作用。

Dillard University proposes to involve three (3) faculty and nine (9) students in biomedical research projects as follows: Water Balance in the American Cockroach. Liquid scintillation counting of tritiated water used to trace water movements will be combined with column chromatography and electrophoresis of body fluids, bioassay of proteins from body fluids and electron microscopy of neurosecretory tissues to determine the role of the frontal ganglion in control of water balance in the American cockroach. Skin Testing of Fungal Antigens. Skin test reactions of patients with mycotic infections will be compared with those of "normal" populations such as nursing students and workers in nurseries and other related areas. Soil collections, cultures and inoculations into mice to delineate microfoci and to uncover the perfect stage of Sporothrix schenckii will be undertaken. Improved immunologic methods of diagnosis of fungal diseases will be sought. Characterization of Bovine Corneal Mucoproteins. Corneal Mucoproteins established as the primary contributor to hydration of the cornea will be characterized via electrophoretic fractionation. Concentration and hydration gradients will be identified in bovine corneas. The role of mucoproteins in the orderly disposition of collagen fibrils will be investigated and their role in corneal transparency ascertained.
