Abstract The new reagent, o-nitroanisol makes it possible to shorten to a considerable extent the determination of the total filler content of vulcanized rubber, and to increase the precision of the determination. In addition, the procedure is carried out more easily than are the older classic procedures. It would seem desirable, therefore, to use this more convenient solution method of determining filler content in many cases in place of calcination methods, which, though rapid, are very inaccurate, and in place of the conventional solution methods, which are so inconvenient.

Abstract A new reagent, o-nitroanisol, makes it possible to determine the total filler content of vulcanized rubber much more rapidly and more precisely than heretofore. In addition, the procedure is easier than that of the classic method. It would therefore be desirable if the method of determining fillers by solution of the rubber, which can now be carried out so easily, were to be used in many cases in place of incineration methods, which, in spite of being rapid, are very inaccurate, and also if the new method were to be used in place of the ordinary, relatively inconvenient solution methods.

SummaryThe term “effective activator” of plasminogen is proposed, to denote the resultant of activator-antiactivator interaction, and a method for the determination of the level of these activators is described. By adding axcess plasminogen to the euglobulin fraction of plasma the influence of the level of endogenous plasminogen and of the antiplasmin is eliminated. It is shown that the level of fibrinogen has very little bearing on the results. An effective activator unit is defined as equal to 1 CTA unit of urokinase activity on a fibrinogen-plasminogen substrate.

SummaryA new method for the assay of plasmin inhibitors in human plasma is described. The method consists of determination of the caseinolytic activity of a standard plasmin solution before and after incubation with the inhibitor, with lysine added to the mixture as a stabilizer of plasmin. Using this method, it was found that plasma contains enough inhibitors to inactivate 30 caseinolytic units of plasmin, or 10 times the normal amount of plasminogen in human plasma.

ABSTRACT Various techniques for sensitising erythrocytes and latex particles with gonadotrophins, particularly with HCG, are described. The haemagglutination inhibition reactions are generally interpreted by means of »erythrocyte settling patterns«. By a new method of evaluating these patterns a relatively precise quantitative determination is possible. Latex agglutination inhibition reactions on slides are particularly suitable as rapid qualitative tests. In cases where the maximum attainable sensitivity of the agglutination inhibition tests is insufficient, e. g. for determining LH concentrations in urine, the hormone in the test fluid has to be concentrated or extracted. An alternative method is a modified haemagglutination inhibition test for large volumes which is applicable to unconcentrated urine. Due to non-specific inhibitions the above-mentioned tests cannot be applied to unprocessed serum. Agglutination inhibition tests with HCG are already well advanced, pregnancy diagnosis being their main application. Now that highly purified HCG is available, a satisfactory specificity for these tests can be attained. If the immune system for HCG is used for estimating LH, it has to meet additional specificity requirements. Furthermore, the measure of cross-reaction and the choice of standard merit special attention. Finally, a literature survey is given of test systems in which LH and FSH were used as antigens.
