Young Scientists Follow in Footsteps of Jonas Salk Two developing medical scientists — one from York College, the other from Hunter — recently completed internships that will surely be high points of their promising careers. Fiona Smith, a 2005 graduate of Yo r k C o l l e g e, and Irina Chaikhoutdinov, an ’05 g raduate of the Honors College at Hunter C o l l e g e, worked this past summer at o...

Hereditary chronic pancreatitis Jonas

Hereditary chronic pancreatitis (HCP) is a very rare form of early onset chronic pancreatitis. With the exception of the young age at diagnosis and a slower progression, the clinical course, morphological features and laboratory findings of HCP do not differ from those of patients with alcoholic chronic pancreatitis. As well, diagnostic criteria and treatment of HCP resemble that of chronic pan...

Hormesis and the salk polio vaccine.

The production of the Salk vaccine polio virus by monkey kidney cells was generated using the synthetic tissue culture medium, Mixture 199. In this paper's retrospective assessment of this process, it was discovered that Mixture 199 was modified by the addition of ethanol to optimize animal cell survival based on experimentation that revealed a hormetic-like biphasic response relationship. This...

Synaptic Autoimmunity and the Salk Factor

conventional chromatography and analysis of their tryp-tic digests by mass spectrometry suggested their identity with rat munc-18-1a (rbSec1A) and the 9 residue longer splice variant munc-18-1b (rbSec1B) (Garcia et al., 1995). This conclusion was supported by the ability In 1973, the serendipitous development at the Salk Insti-of a rabbit anti-munc-18 antibody to recognize the rat tute of a mya...
