Localizations of complement component 3 (C3) receptor (C3R)-bearing cells in lymph nodes obtained from normal guinea pigs or from guinea pigs inoculated with complete Freund adjuvant were examined by staining with fluorescein-labeled anti-guinea pig C3 antibody after treatment with aggregated rabbit immunoglobulin M bound with guinea pig complement. In normal lymph nodes, a small number of C3R-...

We present the computation of the condition numbers for linear programming (LP) problems from the NETLIB suite. The method of Peña [Technical report, Center for Applied Mathematics, Cornell University, May 1998] was used to compute the bounds on the distance to ill-posedness ρ(d) of a given problem instance with data d, and the condition number was computed as C(d) = ‖d‖/ρ(d). We discuss the ef...

Although adjuvants are important components of vaccines, few studies have been conducted to establish the criteria on adjuvant selection and to investigate mechanisms of adjuvant actions during vaccination. Here we found that complete Freund adjuvant (CFA) induced a CD11b cell population in a B-cell independent manner. This cell population exhibited strong ability to inhibit T-cell-mediated rej...
