At the national level this means...

In the liver microsome cyanide (CN)-trapping assays, piperazinecontaining compounds formed significant N-methyl piperazine CN adducts. Two pathways for the N-methyl piperazine CN adduct formation were proposed: 1) The a-carbon in the N-methyl piperazine is oxidized to form a reactive iminium ion that can react with cyanide ion; 2) N-dealkylation occurs followed by condensation with formaldehyde...

1034 Antigen - Specific

Cooperation between thymus-derived (T) a lymphocytes and non-thymus-derived (B) lymphocytes has been shown to be necessary for the antibody response to protein antigens in experimental animals (1) and in man (2). Supernates of antigen-stimulated T cells can replace T cells for the in vitro antibody response by B cells (3). Two classes of T-ceU helper factors have been demonstrated in experiment...
