The fate of two recently described human B lymphocyte-specific antigens (B1 and B2) was studied after B-cell activation in vivo and in vitro. Whereas both B1 and B2 were present on virtually all B cells from normal lymph nodes, B2 was absent from approximately 50% of B cells from hyperplastic lymph nodes. When B cells from spleen, tonsil, or peripheral blood were stimulated in vitro with pokewe...

The sinterability, microstructure, and mechanical properties of pure TiB2- CrB2-doped ZrB2 prepared by spark plasma sintering were investigated. solid solutions synthesized the complete borothermal reduction to form (Zr0.95Ti0.05)B2 (Zr0.95Cr0.05)B2. results showed that solution yielded smaller particle size than sinterability was also improved with use solutions, as evidenced an increase relat...

This paper presents a study of the semidirectly closed pseudovariety generated by the aperiodic Brandt semigroup B2, denoted V(B2). We construct a basis of pseudoidentities for the semidirect powers of the pseudovariety generated by B2 which leads to the main result, which states that V(B2) is decidable. Independently, using some suggestions given by J. Almeida in his book “Finite Semigroups an...

The Escherichia coli species is divided in phylogenetic groups that differ in their virulence and commensal distribution. Strains belonging to the B2 group are involved in extra-intestinal pathologies but also appear to be more prevalent as commensals among human occidental populations. To investigate the genetic specificities of B2 sub-group, we used 128 sequenced genomes and identified genes ...

In this module we present an overview of an electrical power system. The electrical power system is a network of interconnected components which generate electricity by converting different forms of energy, (thermal, hydro, and nuclear are the most common forms of energy converted) to electrical energy; and transmit the electrical energy to load centers to be used by the consumer. The system co...

When hybridization subtraction was used to enrich for sequences induced by heat shock in Chinese hamster cells, B2 sequences were found to be one of the major sequences enriched. With cloned B2 probes, we found that the level of the short, 0.1 to 0.6 kb, polyadenylated RNA polymerase III transcripts of this repetitive genetic element increased approximately 10 to 20 fold after heat shock. Trans...

We previously found that the SINE-encoded mouse B2 RNA binds RNA polymerase II and represses mRNA transcription during the cellular heat-shock response. In vitro B2 RNA assembles into preinitiation complexes on promoter DNA via its interaction with the polymerase, thus rendering the complexes inactive. With the goal of understanding which regions of B2 RNA are important for high-affinity bindin...
