“…One-day-old rats were injected with 10 Ag of pLSV-HBsAg DNA (the recombinant plasmid harboring HBsAg gene) in calcium phosphate precipitates. By 48 hr thin sections of liver and spleen of the experimental and control animals were taken for histochemical immunoassay, using specific antibody and indirect immunoperoxidase staining (26,27). Brown granules indicating existence of HBsAg were visualized in the cytoplasm of different types of liver cells (hepatocytes and nonhepatocytes) of animals injected with the gene.…”

A method of introducing actively expressed genes into intact mammals is described. DNA precipitated with calcium phosphate has been injected intraperitoneally into newborn rats. The inJected genes have been taken up and expressed by the animal tissues. To examine the generality of the method we have injected newborn rats with the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase prokaryotic gene fused with various viral and cellular gene promoters and the gene for hepatitis B surface antigen, and we observed appearance of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity and hepatitis B surface antigen in liver and spleen. In addition, administration ofgenes coding for hormones (insulin or growth hormone) resulted in their expression.

“…The toxicity of zinc to terrestrial animals has been reviewed by Taylor et al (1982) and NRC (1979) in general, livestock and poultry are quite tolerant of dietary zinc. Concentrations that are 100 times greater than those required in the diet do not result in adverse effects (NRC 1979).…”

Daphnia magna was used as a test organism for assessing the toxicity remaining in simulated effluents containing cadmium, zinc, and a cadmium-zinc mixture, after these metals were removed with suspended and immobilized Chlorella vulgaris cultures. The percentage of removal was ( ) higher 84.7% for cadmium in the metal mixture with immobilized cultures. The LC value was lower 50 ( ) for the residual cadmium single and in the mixture in the effluent after treatment with suspended cultures. The acute toxicity response observed in D. magna, indicates that zinc has an antagonistic effect on cadmium toxicity. According to the results, the treatment system can modify the Cd acute residual toxicity. ᮊ
