The presence of a pinocytosis receptor, specific for mannose-fucose terminated glycoproteins, has been established on murine resident peritoneal macrophages, thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages, and macrophages derived from bone-marrow in culture. Macrophagelike cell lines (J-774 and P338.D1), a myelomonocytic cell line (427E), lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and fibroblas...

This study shows that out of 774 patients tested, the house dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) provoked the maximum response (51.81%) the house dust was second (42.81%), and shrimp was third (23.92%). The moderate allergenic extracts were cat fur (12.79%), dog fur (10.72%), cockroach (8.47%) egg white (7.56%) and orris powder (6.30%). Among the low allergenic extracts were Aspergillus f...

We report on polarimetric observations of 100 pulsars centered on 774 MHz, made using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), presenting their polarization profiles and polarized flux densities and comparing them with previous observations when possible. For 67 pulsars, these are the first such measurements made. Polarization profiles of 8 millisecond pulsars in our sample show wide profiles and flat p...

Lithium self-diffusion coefficients are measured for the first time using (7)Li Pulsed-Field Gradient Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (PFG-NMR) in a crystalline inorganic powder of α-Li(3)N between 534 K and 774 K. The diffusion of lithium cations is anisotropic, and the activation energy for the diffusion within the Li(2)N layers was found to be 0.150 ± 0.009 eV.

The molecular and cellular mechanisms by which hypertension enhances atherosclerosis are poorly understood. Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been implicated in the regulation of cellular lipoxygenases (LO), which are thought to play a role in atherogenesis by inducing oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL). We sought to test the hypothesis that Ang II would stimulate murine macropha...
