Mononuclear cells from normal human subjects and patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), chronic lymphosarcoma cell leukemia (LCL), and hairy cell leukemia (HCL) were labeled with fluoresceinated, purified human C3b (FI-C3b) and analyzed using the fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). FI-C3b labeled 17.6% +/- 6.0% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) from 20 normal subject...

The CD4+ T cell response to EBV may have an important role in controlling virus-driven B lymphoproliferation because CD4+ T cell clones to a subset of EBV nuclear Ag (EBNA) epitopes can directly recognize virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) in vitro and inhibit their growth. In this study, we used a panel of EBNA1, 2, 3A, and 3C-specific CD4+ T cell clones to study the route wher...

BACKGROUND Although a previous study showed that anterior opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for sagittal plane correction induced no increased strain in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), we hypothesized that other ligamentous restraints of the knee may be subjected to increased strain. METHODS We mounted 6 cadaveric knees at 15 degrees flexion in a testing apparatus that provided ...

In cattle, molecular control of oviduct receptivity to the embryo is poorly understood. Here, we used a bovine model for receptivity based on size of the pre-ovulatory follicle to compare oviductal global and candidate gene transcript abundance on day 4 of the estrous cycle. Growth of the pre-ovulatory follicle (POF) of Nelore (Bos indicus) cows was manipulated to produce two groups: large POF ...

Abstract— DC hubs are centrally located in DC grids and they are expected to operate autonomously under wide range of operating conditions. To achieve secure operation without intervention from dispatcher and to damp the internal oscillatory modes, a distributed power balance and damping controller for high power multiport LCL (Inductor-Capacitor-Inductor) DC hub is proposed in this paper. Nat...

Newly synthesized class II HLA antigens being transported to the surface of human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL) interact with transferrin-neuraminidase conjugates internalized by means of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Class II antigens, isolated from [35S]methionine-labeled B-LCL after incubation with the conjugates at 37 degrees C, showed extensive desialylation of associated invariant ...

This paper represents a modified LCL-T (inductor inductor capacitor) series parallel resonant converter (SPRC) has been mathematically modeled and validated. The limitations of two element resonant topologies have been removed by adding a third reactive element. The study indicates the mathematical modeling and design of LCL-T SPRC. The proposed approach is expected to provide better voltage re...

Follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphomas comprise the main entities of adult B cell malignancies. Although multiple disease driving gene aberrations have been identified by gene expression and genomic studies, only a few studies focused at the protein level. We applied 2 dimensional gel electrophoresis to compare seven GC B cell non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cell lines with a lymphob...

Many grid connected power electronic systems, such as STATCOMs, UPFCs, and distributed generation system interfaces, use a voltage source inverter (VSI) connected to the supply network through a filter. This filter, typically a series inductance, acts to reduce the switching harmonics entering the distribution network. An alternative filter is a LCL network, which can achieve reduced levels of ...

An elongation or partial articular-sided tear of the radial lateral collateral ligament (R-LCL) is a rare injury causing disability and instability of the elbow. In our experience this condition is often associated with a pathologic sign of the annular ligament named the "annular drive through" caused by a redundancy of the ligament. The benefits of performing an arthroscopic procedure for surg...
