The frequencies and absolute numbers of B and T cells in the lymphoid organs of five murine strains (NZB, (NZB X NZW)F1, BXSB, MRL/l, and MRL/n) with SLE-like syndromes were examined. We assessed the frequencies of cells bearing surface Ig, C3d and IgG Fc receptors, and theta-antigen. The sequential expression of Ig isotopes on developing B cells and the Ig isotypes expressed on adult B cells w...

This paper proposes a lightweight moving object prediction system to detect and recognize pedestrian crossings, vehicles cutting-in, ahead applying emergency brakes based on 3D Convolution network for behavior prediction. The proposed design significantly improves the performance of conventional convolution (C3D) adapted predict behaviors employing recognition capable performing localization, w...

background and purpose: decreased males’ motivation for entering universities has caused a low male/female ratio in different university majors. in 2005-2006 academic year, enrollment of female students in rafsanjan university of medical sciences reached 83.14%. this tremendous gender imbalance may lead to the development of a mono-sex system for health service providers and will.affect the soc...

PURPOSE Systemic complement activation is associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and has mainly been attributed to a risk allele in the complement factor H (CFH) gene. Whether other important AMD genes also influence complement activation is unclear. In the present case-control study, complement activity and concentrations of complement components and their activation products a...

Human complement receptor type 2 (CD21) is the cellular receptor for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a human tumor virus. The N-terminal two short consensus repeats (SCR1-SCR2) of the receptor interact with the EBV glycoprotein gp350/220 and also with the natural CD21 ligand C3d. Here we present the crystal structure of the CD21 SCR1-SCR2 fragment in the absence of ligand and demonstrate that it is a...
