A novel colorimetric method to quantify tannase activity of viable tannase-producing bacterial strains was developed through application of a visual reading method that was to detect the activity qualitatively. The novel method was sensitive enough to quantify the marginal tannase activity of strains that could not be otherwise measured by conventional spectrophotometric or colorimetric methods.

In selecting input variables by block addition and block deletion (BABD), multiple input variables are added and then deleted, keeping the cross-validation error below that using all the input variables. The major problem of this method is that selection time becomes large as the number of input variables increases. To alleviate this problem, in this paper, we propose incremental block addition...

CD47 is a membrane-associated glycoprotein that suppresses the function of immune cells. We previously reported that Langerhans cells (LCs) express Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase substrate 1 (SHPS-1), a ligand for CD47, which plays an important role in the regulation of their motility. In this study, we show that LCs also express CD47, and that ligation of CD47 wi...
