A preliminary study of acidic alpha-glucosidase in a variety of tissues was carried out in an attempt to develop a test which might be used to detect individuals heterozygous for the genetype associated with generalized glycogenosis in beef Shorthorn cattle. Of the tissues readily available peripheral lymphocytes were chosen as being likely to be the most suitable. It was concluded that, when coupled with genealogical information, assays of alpha-glucosidase in extracts of lymphocytes were useful for identifying heterozygous individuals with a reasonably high degree of probability.

A naturally occurring neurological disease occurred in six dogs fed cooked meat. Clinical signs were anorexia, progressive spastic paraparesis, recumbency, convulsions and death. The disease was characterized by bilaterally symmetrical spongy change and necrosis of brainstem nuclei with a lesion distribution pattern similar to that in thiamine deficient foxes and cats.

The finding of zymogen granules within lysosomal storage vesicles in pancreatic exocrine tissue in bovine mannosidosis may explain the widespread vacuolation of exocrine cells in this disease. It is uncertain if they enter the lysosomal system by the process of crinophagy but if so it would indicate that this regulatory mechanism could operate in normal exocrine tissue as well.

Rats were exposed under aerobic or hypoxic conditions to 200-1200 rads of 60Co gamma-rays or extended-Bragg-peak helium ions on the eighth day of gestation. Uterine contents were examined on the twentieth day of gestation. At the 50 per cent embryonic survival level, helium ion r.

Enzyme replacement therapy was studied in a chimeric mannosidosis calf which had received a natural transplacental transplant of normal lymphocytes from its co-twin. There was considerable reduction in the pathology of certain organs and in the amount of storage oligosaccharides, but the clinical course of this neurologic disease was not significantly altered. It was postulated that if this disease had been purely visceral the transplant would have been relatively effective.

Abnormally high amounts of low molecular weight mannose-rich carbohydrate material were found in the urine of an Angus calf with mannosidosis. At least five oligosaccharide fractions were detected by paper chromatography. The most abundant compound was purified by gel chromatography, zone electrophoresis, and two consecutive preparative paper chromatographic steps.

Skull morphology in achondroplasic (cn/cn) mice was compared with that of normal siblings in order to determine the effects of this chondrodystrophy on skull growth, particular attention being given to dimensions reflecting growth at the synchondroses of the cranial base, the nasal septal cartilage and the condylar cartilage of the mandible. The central section of the cranial base (basicranial axis) was reduced by 25 percent, the length of the viscerocranium by 18 percent and the length of the condylar process by 11 percent. The evidence indicates that these reductions are due to diminished growth at respectively the spheno-occipital and missphenoidal synchondroses, the nasal septal cartilage and the condylar cartilage.
