Monoclonal antibodies against soybean Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor (BBI) have been generated and used to detect and quantify BBI in foods, soybean germplasm, and animal tissues and fluids. The purpose of this study was to determine the recognition sites of two monoclonal antibodies to BBI (mAb 238 and mAb 217) in relation to the protease-inhibitory sites of BBI. The results showed that (1) th...

A request for sterilization was furnished by general practitioners and the operations were performed under the National Health Services. The patients were booked and their names placed on the waiting list. A number of surgeons shared the operative responsiibility. Of 238 patients, 65 (27.2 per cent) were between 20 30 years, 140 patients (60.0 per cent) were between 30 40 years and 33 patients ...

Autotaxin (ATX/NPP2) shows a nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase and lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) activity and is a member of a family of structurally-related mammalian ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphate/phosphodiesterases (E-NPP1-3). ATX is unique among E-NPP as it is secreted and not membrane-bound as are NPP1 and -3. The ATX gene activity is significantly higher in undifferentiated anap...

The search for WIMP-recoil tracks in mica using Atomic Force Microscopy [1] promises important improvements on current exclusion limits. For this to be fulfilled, background sources that could mimic the WIMP-recoil signature must be rejected. In the case of naturally occurring α-recoil tracks, the authors rely on the longer expected depth of their etch-pits, since they result from the sum of 8 ...

The resistance of advanced colorectal cancers to therapy is often related to mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Because somatostatin (SRIF) receptors (ssts) are present in colorectal carcinomas, the treatment with targeted cytotoxic SRIF analogue AN-238, consisting of 2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin (AN-201) linked to octapeptide SRIF carrier RC-121, may overcome this resistance by producing a ...

Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and Human Herpes Virus 6 (HHV-6) are responsible for severe diseases, particularly in immunocompromised persons. There is limited data of the infection of these opportunistic viruses in Burkina Faso. The purpose of this study was to characterize EBV and HHV-6 subtypes and to assess their impact on CD4 T cell count, HIV-1 viral load and antiretroviral treatment in people...

There is increasing evidence for cell-to-cell interactions in immune response (1, 2). While the interaction between B and T lymphocytes has been studied by many investigators both in vivo and in vitro, there is a paucity in the literature concerning subpopulations of T cells and their interactions. The nature of T-Tcell interactions is considered an important key in resolving the regulatiry mec...
