A Friend of Defective Children

چکیده
deeply regret to record, to failing health, it is fitting that a tribute should be paid in these pages to the unselfish and devoted service of defective children which she has given over a period of nearly 20 years. It was in 1919, that she opened, in the King's Cross district of London, supported by a small Committee, the Lilian Greg Occupation Centre for lowgrade " ineducable " children, at a time when such Centres were only just beginning to be regarded as practical possibilities. For three years she was responsible for the Centre until in 1922 it was handed over to the C.A.M.W. by whom it was specially adapted for the purpose of training Supervisors.* Arising out of this work for low-grade children, Miss Rathbone turned to consider the needs of the higher-grade defectives who were in attendance at the Special Schools in the Islington area. The co-operation of the local L.C.C. District Care Committee Organiser was enlisted, and the Lilian Greg Welfare Committee gradually became the centre of all activity for mentally defective children in the district. Under Miss Rathbone's inspiration and by means of her personal service the Committee established itself as the friend of the Special

THE STUDY OF OPSONIZATION ACTIVITY OF THE PHAGOCYTOSIS PROCESS IN MENINGITIS, SEPSIS, AND RECURRENT INFECTION IN CHILDREN
In this survey, opsonization activity of sera in 110 patients with meningitis, sepsis and recurrent infection 12 patients after healing and 50 normal adults has been studied. Opsonization activity was measured by an assay depending on electronic particle counting to measure yeast uptake (alternative pathway activator) which was modified in our laboratory. Three classes of immunoglobulins (...

In addition to the known induction of xenotropic endogenous virus in B-mitogen-stimulated murine lymphocyte cultures, distinguishable defective viruses were also induced in different mouse strains (NFS/N, 129, BALB/c). AKR cells produced xenotropic virus and also, in contrast to BALB/c, ecotropic virus. The drug bromodeoxyuridine appeared to have differential effects on virus expression, amplif...
متن کاملMultimeric structure of the membrane erythropoietin receptor of murine erythroleukemia cells (Friend cells). Cross-linking of erythropoietin with the spleen focus-forming virus envelope protein.
In erythroleukemia cells infected with the polycythemia strain of the Friend virus complex, erythropoietin could be cross-linked mainly to a protein of 63 kDa when using disuccinimidyl suberate. In contrast, erythropoietin in other erythroleukemia cells cross-linked to two proteins of 85 and 100 kDa. When native erythropoietin receptor complexes were immunoprecipitated, the 63-kDa erythropoieti...
متن کاملHelper-independent mink cell focus-inducing strains of Friend murine type-C virus: potential relationship to the origin of replication- defective spleen focus-forming virus
Recent studies have indicated that both the replication-defective spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) in the Friend virus complex and the helper-independent mink cell focus-inducing (MCF) viruses derived from AKR-murine leukemia virus (MuLV) are env gene recombinants between ecotropic virus and xenotropic virus. In an attempt to isolate additional env gene recombinants between Friend murine leuke...
