The family was re-evaluated in March 2000: at that time, 3 more individuals had developed symptoms of dystonia. Inheritance of PTD was autosomal dominant, with a...

A full understanding of the immune system requires full characterization of the cells, and its subsets, which play a role in the process of host defense. The expression pattern of cell surface molecules serves as a major criterion for assigning cells into discrete subsets. The availability of monoclonal reagents, specific fluorescent probes and compatible instrumentation over the past years has...
