Rh(D) antigen-containing polypeptide was prepared by immune precipitation of intact cDE/cDE erythrocytes by using a high-titer preparation of polyclonal anti-D. when isolated Rh(D) polypeptide was administered to rabbits, antibody was produced that was unresponsive toward Rh-positive and -negative cells but reacted strongly with the immunogen in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-type immunobind...

Recently human interleukin-3 (IL-3) produced by molecular cloning was characterized as a growth factor for basophils and eosinophils in human bone marrow cultures. Since we found a similar activity of the human factor on simian bone marrow cells, we investigated the in vivo effects of recombinant human (rh) IL-3 in healthy rhesus monkeys (n = 10). rh IL-3 was administered subcutaneously (SC) to...

introduction: to write a computational program to calculate the average glandular dose in mammography with rh-rh target-filter and also use it as an accurate and fast method of dose calculation founder different situations. materials and methods: in this research, the sobol-wu parameters are used to write a fortran code for glandular dose calculation in rh-rh target-filter mammograms. the code ...

The mechanisms through which LH-RH antagonists suppress gonadotroph functions and LH-RH receptor (LH-RH-R) production are incompletely understood. To elucidate these mechanisms, we investigated the effects of Cetrorelix on the mRNA expression of pituitary LH-RH-R and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion in three experimental systems with different pituitary LH-RH environments. Ovariectomy induced...

Rose hip powder (RHP) alleviates osteoarthritis (OA) due to its anti-inflammatory and cartilage-protective properties. Substances contained in RHP might contribute to its clinical efficacy. The activity of two RHP (i.e., RH-A, from the whole fruit, RH-B, from fruits without seeds) was investigated in human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) and primary chondrocytes (NHAC-kn). RH-A and RH-B dimin...

The metallophilic interactions were investigated within chains of oppositely charged rhodium carbonyl complexes. The cationic [Rh(CO)(2)(L)](+) (L = 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline) and anionic [RhCl(2)(CO)(2)](-) units were self-assembled into one dimensional rhodium chains supported by electrostatic interactions. The array of Rh centers in {[Rh(CO)(2)(2,2'-bpy)][RhCl(2)(CO)(2)]}(n) wa...

A series of crystalline dinuclear rhodium complexes with different bridging diisocyano ligands and different counter ions have been studied by low-temperature crystallographic and solid-state spectroscopic techniques. The Rh-Rh distances vary from 4.5153(3) to 3.0988(7) angstroms, and the twist angles around the Rh-Rh line from 58.3(1) to 0 degree, both depending on the size and conformational ...
