Transplanting Against Histocompatibility Barriers

Tree Transplanting and Establishment

Many aspects of transplanting change over time. Modern equipment has made it possible to transplant larger trees with "soil balls" more affordably. Containerized production has grown in popularity for many reasons, including the ability to plant in any season. One thing remains the same-plants must quickly establish or reestablish a normal, spreading root system on the new site to minimize susc...

Liver palms in rheumatoid arthritis.

Liver palms or palmar erythema are well recognized as a clinical feature of hepato-cellular disease (Sherlock, 1968). They have also been recorded in many other conditions, such as pregnancy, chronic febrile states, leukaemia, thyrotoxicosis, and rheumatoid arthritis (Copeman, 1964; Ragan, 1966; Sherlock, 1968). In the last-named disease the prevalence of palmar erythema has not been, to our kn...

Transplanting Supersites of HIV-1 Vulnerability

One strategy for isolating or eliciting antibodies against a specific target region on the envelope glycoprotein trimer (Env) of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) involves the creation of site transplants, which present the target region on a heterologous protein scaffold with preserved antibody-binding properties. If the target region is a supersite of HIV-1 vulnerability, recogn...
