The present studies have examined the effects of mitogens on induction of early response gene expression in normal peripheral blood T and Jurkat cells. Pokeweed mitogen (PWM) or anti-CD3 significantly increases c-jun messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in T cells. This transient PWM-related increase in c-jun transcripts is maximal after 15 to 30 minutes of exposure of T cells to PWM. PWM induces c-jun ...

Commercially available pokeweed mitogen (PWM) has been reported to activate macrophages, leading to production of proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide (NO). However, we found that polymyxin B (PMB), a specific inhibitor of endotoxin activity, inhibited the PWM-induced expression of proinflammatory cytokines and NO and the activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). A kinetic-turbidimetric ...

Regular-sampled PWM techniques have been developed to reproduce the harmonic-elimination and harmonic minimization PWM characteristics. These new regular-sampled PWM control strategies significantly reduce the computational requirements for real-time microprocessor-based PWM implementation. This results in simplied and more efficient microprocessor softwarehardware requirements, leading to real...

Model predictive pulse-width modulation (MP-PWM) is applied to hybrid active power filter (HAPF) in this paper. The configuration, control, carried-based PWM (CPWM) and filtering performance of HAPF are described in this paper. To realize the MP-PWM, the discrete-time model of the inverter is presented and a cost function is built. The flow chart of realizing the MPPWM is presented. The PWM is ...

ABSTRACT A voltage source inverter is commonly used to supply a three-phase induction motor with variable frequency and variable voltage for variable speed applications. A suitable pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is employed to obtain the required output voltage in the line side of the inverter. The different methods for PWM generation can be broadly classified into Triangle comparison b...

Poke weed mitogen (PWM), a lectin purified from Phytolacca americana is frequently used as a B cell-specific stimulus to trigger proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. In the present study we investigated the mechanisms underlying the B cell stimulatory capacity of PWM. Strikingly, we observed that highly purified PWM preparations failed to induce B cell proliferation. By contrast, commerc...
