The experiments aimed at evaluating the optimal parameters in the chemo-immunotherapeutic treatment of the L1210 lymphoid leukaemia grafted to [female BALB/c (H2d) x male DBA/2 (H2d)]Fl hybrid mice, hereafter referred to as CDF1 mice. In vitro irradiation of leukaemic ascites cells by X-or y-rays and subsequent inoculation in mice showed that optimum immunogenicity is radiation dose-dependent. ...

Variationally exact rovibrational calculations are performed for the Hf , H2 D+ and D2 H+ molecules using two recent fits to the ab initio potential energy data of Burton et al. (1985, Molec. Phys., 55, 527). For the best surface, vibrational fundamentals are VAt = 3175cm -1 and v E = 2518 (2521)cm -1 for H~; v 1 =2989 (2992)cm -1, v2=2203cm -1, and v3= 2332cm -1 for H2 D+, and v 1 = 2733 (2737...

Ab initio rotation-vibration calculations are presented for four H: potential energy surfaces with a view to determining a variational lower bound on the highest angular momentum state of H; and H,D’ supported by each potential. The calculations are performed using a two-step variational method and retain all ro-vibrational couplings. The results are found to be insensitive to the details of th...

Pluripotent parthenogenetic stem cells (pSCs) can be derived by pharmacological activation of unfertilized oocytes. Homozygosity of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in pSCs makes them an attractive cell source for applications in allogeneic tissue repair. This was recently demonstrated for pSC-based tissue-engineered heart repair. A detailed analysis of immunological properties of pSC...
