Whereas it has been assumed that genetically modified tissues or cells derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) should be accepted by a host of the same species, their immune compatibility has not been extensively explored. To identify acceptance of SCNT-derived cells or tissues, skin grafts were performed between cloned dogs that were identical except for their mitochondrial DNA (mtDN...

A Cantonese experiment is described in which the shadowing of spoken targets as a function of phonological similarity to either a succeeding prime (backward priming) or a preceding prime (forward priming) is investigated. In the backward priming conditions, alternations of onset, rime, or tone between prime and target produced inhibition, whereas in the forward priming conditions, alternations ...

Gillich et al. [1] report on an excellent transplant success rate of 77 kidney grafts performed over a 10-year period, using cadaver donor organs that were obtained and transplanted locally, without taking HLA matching into consideration. They hypothesize that the good result was due to the fact that the kidneys were not exposed to prolonged ischaemic preservation. Paired kidneys that were ship...

27 In MultiContext systems, these compatibility relations are formalized as a special kind of inference rules, called bridge rules 11. The form of a bridge rule is the following: (12) where c i and c j are contexts and 1 ; : : :; n are formulae belonging to the language of c i and n+1 is a formula belonging to the language of c j. Semantically, the eeect of a rule like this is to put a constrai...

Gleditsia sinensis Lam. (Fam. Leguminosae; Gen.: Gleditsia) has various uses, including for medicinal, edible, chemical, and material purposes, is widely distributed in China. However, the extent of graft compatibility its impact on growth when using different species as rootstocks grafting G. scions not yet clear. This study examined homologous heterologous between species, measuring survival ...

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is indicated for selected genetic and hematologic diseases and for hematopoietic reconstitution in cases of iatrogenic or accidental ablation of BM.’-5 Additionally, allogeneic BMT may contribute to the therapy of leukemia through graft-versus-leukemia effects (GVL), which are associated with, but possibly independent of, chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD...

Kaneko and Sessa defined the concept of compatibility for multivalued mappings with Hausdorff metric and proved a coincidence point theorem. After then, Pathak defined the concept of weak compatibility and proved a coincidence theorem. In the present work, we define a new type compatibility for multivalued mappings with Hausdorff metric. This new type compatibility is different from compatibili...

reconstruction methods are an essential prerequisite for functional rehabilitation of the stomatognathic system. plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) offers a new and potentially useful adjunct to bone substitute materials in bone reconstructive surgery. this study was carried out to investigate the influence of prgf and fibrin membrane on regeneration of bony defects with and without deprotein...

dendritic cells (dcs) are a heterogeneous family of professional apcs involved in priming adaptive immune responses. donor dcs (direct pathway of allorecognition) and recipient dcs presenting processed donor major histocompatibility complex (mhc) as peptides (indirect pathway of allorecognition) participate actively in graft rejection by stimulating recipient t cell responses following organ tr...
