We study whether the effects on registered manufacturing output of dismantling the License Raj — a system of central controls regulating entry and production activity in this sector — vary across Indian states with different labor market regulations. The effects are found to be unequal across Indian states with different labor market regulations. In particular, following delicensing, industries...

This paper attempts to portray a synthesis of what has been learned in the past 10 years with regard to the transition process. It contrasts the mainstream “Washington consensus” view of transition with the “evolutionary institutionalist” perspective. It argues that the latter gives a more adequate and complete picture both of the transition processes and of economic systems and is of better he...

We have prepared monoclonal antibodies to the capsid protein of feline calicivirus (FCV). These antibodies are directed against two close but distinct epitopes, only one of which is involved in virus neutralization. We have used these antibodies and immune cat serum in immunoprecipitation and Western blotting experiments and have identified novel proteins in FCV-infected cells which we term P78...

The DM-4 humanmelanomacell line, which is highlymetastaticin nudemice,expresses a C3-cleavingactivitythatproteolyzes labeledaswell asunlabeledhumanC3. ThisC3-cleavingactivityisa cysteineproteinase characterized by a Mr 41,000. The p41 proteinase shares antigenic deter minants with murine p39 procathepsin-L and human procathepsin-L. Preincubation of DM4 cells with anti.p39 F(ab')2 induced up to ...

The 41-kD antigen of Borrelia burgdorferi is an immunodominant protein that is recognized early by antibodies in sera from Lyme disease patients and known to be associated with the endoflagella. We identified the 41-kD endoflagellar antigen to be a single polypeptide with an apparent isoelectric point (pI) of 6.5 by two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis. This polypeptide, which we designated P4...

The recently described inhibitor of cysteine proteinases from Trypanosoma cruzi, chagasin, was found to have close homologs in several eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea, the first protein inhibitors of cysteine proteases in prokaryotes. These previously uncharacterized 110-130 residue-long proteins share a well-conserved sequence motif that corresponds to two adjacent beta-strands and the short ...

enhancedGraphics ( ) is a http://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/enhancedGraphics Cytoscape app that implements a series of enhanced charts and graphics that may be added to Cytoscape nodes. It enables users and other app developers to create pie, line, bar, and circle plots that are driven by columns in the Cytoscape Node Table. Charts are drawn using vector graphics to allow full-resolution scaling. ...
