    A cloned Plasmodium falciparum line was subjected to in vitro drug pressure, by employing a relapse protocol, to select progressively resistant falciparum lines to pyrimethamine and cycloguanil, the two dihydrofolatereductase (DHFR) inhibitor antimalarial drugs. The falciparum lines resistant to pyrimethamine were selected much faster than those resistant to cycloguanil. In 348 days of selection/cultivation, there was 2, 400-fold increase in IC50 value to pyrimethamine, whereas only about 75-fold decrease in sensitivity to cycloguanil was registered in 351 days. Pyrimethamine-resistant parasites acquired a degree of cross resistance to cycloguanil and methotrexate, another DHFR inhibitor, but did not show any cross resistance to some other groups of antimalarial drugs. The highly pyrimethamine-resistant line was not predisposed for faster selection to cycloguanil resistance. Resistance acquired to pyrimethamine was stable. The series of resistant lines obtained form a good material to study the ‘evolution’ of resistance more meaningfully at molecular level.

    MPB64, a secretory protein of Mycobacterium bovis BCG Tokyo, was isolated from a culture filtrate of the bacteria in Sauton synthetic medium harvested on day 8. The protein was isolated by five steps; (i) concentration of the culture filtrate by cutting the molecules smaller than 5 kDa with the Millipore Pellicon Cassette system, (ii) affinity separation by a Phenyl Sepharose CL-4B column, (iii) separation with a DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column with 3 M urea, (iv) separation with a Sephacryl S200HR column, and (v) separation with a DEAE-Sepharose column without urea. MPB64 in each fraction was determined by comparing the band in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with that of standard MPB64. The specificity of isolated MPB64 was tested by immunoblotting with anti-MPB64 antibody. The potency of isolated MPB64 in eliciting skin reaction in the BCG-sensitized guinea pigs was the same to that of standard MPB64. The method described herein is an improved one for isolating MPB64 from a large volume of culture filtrate of M. bovis BCG Tokyo. The technique should be applicable to isolation of other mycobacterial secretory proteins.

    We established two cell lines that stably express hemagglutininneuraminidase (HeLa-HN) and fusion proteins (HeLa-F) of a fusogenic strain of mumps virus. Infection of HeLa-F cells with a nonfusogenic strain resulted in induction of extensive cell fusion. On the other hand, HeLa-HN cells appeared resistant to cell fusion induced by mumps virus infection.
