Clonal expansion of isolated precursors to helper T cells was induced in limiting dilution cultures of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-primed F1 hybrid lymph node cells. Progeny of each isolated precursor was tested for helper activity by transfer to independent cultures with hapten-primed B cells of either parental or F1 hybrid origin. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restriction spe...

UNLABELLED Molybdenum oxide (MoO3) is one of most suitable antireflection (AR) layers for silicon/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (Si/ PEDOT PSS) hybrid solar cells due to its well-matched refractive index (2.1). A simulation model was employed to predict the optical characteristics of Si/ PEDOT PSS hybrid solar cells with the MoO3 layers as antireflection coatings (...

The expression of alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2), an enzyme that is inducible in the liver, has been examined in somatic hybrid cells formed by crossing well-differentiated rat hepatoma cells with rat diploid epithelial cells, the former characterized by high activity and inducibility of the enzyme, and the latter by the absence of detectable activity. The hybrid cells that contain essen...

The inability of mouse cell hybrids derived from two malignant parental cells to produce tumors in syngeneic F1 hosts was analyzed. YC hybrids, derived from the fusion of C1.1D and L1210 clls, failed to induce any tumor in adult mice, while 91% of x-irradiated newborn mice developed tumors and died. Some telocentric chromosomes were lacking in hybrid tumors; however, none of the immunologically...

To observe the effect of gene expression and tumorigenicity in hybrid cells of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo using a mouse model, and to determine its feasibility in reprogramming tumour cells growth and apoptosis, for a potential exploration of the role of hESCs and tumour cells fusion in the management of ovarian cancer. Stable transgenic hES...

The entire measles virus (MV) hemagglutinin (HA)-coding region was reconstructed from cloned cDNAs and used as part of a hybrid transcription unit to replace a region of the adenovirus type 5 genome corresponding to the entire E1a transcription unit and most of the E1b transcription unit. The resulting recombinant virus was stable and able to replicate to high titers in 293 cells (which constit...

In this work, the operation mechanism of hybrid solar cells is studied explicitly. The excitation, diffusion and dissociation of singlet and triplet excitons and charge transport of free charge carriers are studied and their corresponding rates are calculated for a flexible P3HT:SiNW hybrid solar cell. The rates are found to be faster for singlet than triplet excitons. Possible loss mechanisms ...
