Prior studies identified a segment of the CD2 cytoplasmic domain between amino acid (aa) residues 253 and 287 as important in T lymphocyte signal transduction. This region contains two repeats of the sequence motif PPPGHR, thought to form a "cage" structure involved in CD2-mediated signaling. To evaluate this segment, a series of mutant human CD2 molecules were produced by oligonucleotide-direc...

The empirical analysis of multiproduct pricing suffers from a lack of clear theoretical guidance and appropriate data, limitations which often render traditional regression-based analyses impractical. This paper analyzes ticket, parking, and concession pricing in Major League Baseball for the period 1991-2003 using a new methodology based on principal components, which allows inferences to be f...

Recently, we observed that CTL specific for the wild-type (wt) sequence p53(264-272) peptide could only be expanded ex vivo from PBMC of a subset of the HLA-A2.1(+) normal donors or cancer patients tested. Surprisingly, the tumors of the responsive patients expressed normal levels of wt p53 and could be considered unlikely to present this epitope. In contrast, tumors of nonresponsive patients a...

INTRODUCTION The InSite trial is a prospective, multicenter study of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) therapy with the InterStim® System in subjects with overactive bladder (OAB). One of the primary aims of the study is to report on long-term safety of the tined lead. This analysis provides detailed descriptions of device-related adverse events (AEs) and surgical interventions to 12 months. METHO...

Monazita é um dos principais minerais de elementos terras raras leves e está sempre associada à presença tório. Isto traz desafios no processamento devido forte radiação, mas o aproveitamento do tório para uso como combustível nuclear após a transformação 232Th em 233U. Portanto, separação raras, lixiviação da monazita, uma etapa imprescindível que precisa ser otimizada. Neste e...
