Five ampouled preparations of interleukin-4 (IL-41 have been evaluated by 36 laboratories in 14 countries for their suitability to serve as an international standard for this material in a joint international collaborative study for interleukin-3 (IL-3) and IL-4. The preparations were assayed in a wide range of in vitro bioassays and immunoassays. It is clear from the study that different recom...

One of the key features in the affinity maturation of antibodies is somatic hypermutation of the variable regions of immunoglobulin genes. The mutations that occur in immunoglobulin genes are detected by direct sequencing of cloned polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. The frequencies of mutations in vivo are generally high enough to provide sufficient numbers of point mutations in order to...

to biochemical mechanisms of hepatotoxicity and includes discussions of the lipoperoxidation theory of carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity and the role of toxic metabolities, both well-studied processes. The second section deals with the effect of drugs on hepatic function, their alteration in hepatic disease, and the importance of genetic factors in determining drug metabolism. Pharmacogenetic...
