HETEROGENEITY OF MACROPHAGE POPULATIONS: ANTIBODIES DETECTING VARIOUS POPULATIONS OF MACROPHAGES
Two groups of antibodies against mouse resident alveolar and peritoneal macrophages have been raised individually in rabbits by immunization with whole cell suspensions of lavaged alveolar and peritoneal macrophages. The whole antisera reacted positively with neutrophils and lymphocytes. However, upon extensive absorptions with these cells the activity became restricted to macrophages. The...
متن کاملGenetic heterogeneity in euphausiid populations: Euphausia krohnii
Genetic heterogeneity of samples of Euphausia krohnii and Nematoscelis megalops collected from a 6,000-km* area in western North Atlantic Slope Water was investigated by electrophoretic assay of allozymic variability at eight enzyme loci. Both species exhibited significant among-sample heterogeneity of allozyme frequencies. Genetic distances between samples were large for intraspecific comparis...
متن کاملGenetic Heterogeneity in Algerian Human Populations
The demographic history of human populations in North Africa has been characterized by complex processes of admixture and isolation that have modeled its current gene pool. Diverse genetic ancestral components with different origins (autochthonous, European, Middle Eastern, and sub-Saharan) and genetic heterogeneity in the region have been described. In this complex genetic landscape, Algeria, ...
متن کاملThe incredible shrinking covariance estimator
Covariance estimation is a key step in many target detection algorithms. To distinguish target from background requires that the background be well-characterized. This applies to targets ranging from the precisely known chemical signatures of gaseous plumes to the wholly unspecified signals that are sought by anomaly detectors. When the background is modelled by a (global or local) Gaussian or ...
متن کاملScobit: an Alternative Estimator to Logit and Probit
Logit and probit, the two most common techniques for estimation of models with a dichotomous dependent variable, impose the assumption that individuals with a probability of .5 of choosing either of two alternatives are most sensitive to changes in independent variables. This assumption is imposed by the estimation technique because both the logistic and normal density functions are symmetric a...
