[Immunochemical analysis of the synthetic peptides incorporated into the protein antigenic determinant of the potato virus X coat]. / Immunokhimicheskii analiz sinteticheskikh peptidov, vkhodiashchikh v antigennuiu determinantu belka obolochki X-virusa kartofelia.

Three peptides located in the N-terminal region of the potato virus X coat protein were synthesized by hand solid phase method for epitope mapping of this protein. One of these peptides (nanopeptide) interacted with monoclonal antibodies to native virus X. On the basis of these studies it was assumed, that amino acid sequence of the potato virus X coat protein, which included lysine residue in position 19, is located on the virion surface.

[Prevention of the chronic persistence of typhoid microbes in rabbits with thymostimulin]. / Preduprezhdenie khronicheskoi persistentsii briushnotifoznykh mikrobov u krolikov timostimulinom.

Typhoid infection was reproduced by introducing the infective agent into the bone marrow of noninbred rabbits. After the injection of thymostimulin on the first day of infection the release of typhoid bacilli continued for 1-3 weeks; when thymostimulin was injected on day 20, the release of typhoid bacilli stopped in two weeks. In the control group the release of typhoid bacilli continued during the whole term of observation. The injection of thymostimulin at an early period after infection was thus found to prevent the development of chronic typhoid infection with the elimination of the infective agent from the body of rabbits.
