The interleukin 2 receptor beta chain (IL-2R beta) is preferentially expressed in natural killer (NK) cells, but is not detected in a majority of resting T and B cells. We recently established a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb) to murine IL-2R beta and examined in vivo the effect of the mAb in mice. We found that intraperitoneal injection of the anti-IL-2R beta mAb into adult mice resulted in a ...

background and objectives: beta-thalassemia continues to be a cause of significant burden to the society particularly in the poorer developing countries. although sophisticated methods of screening have become available, a hunt for a cheap, rapid, objective screening method still remains elusive. thus, the objectives are to study the validity of naked-eye-single-tube-osmotic-fragility-test (nes...

let $p$ be an analytic function defined on the open unit disc $mathbb{d}$ with $p(0)=1.$ the conditions on $alpha$ and $beta$ are derived for $p(z)$ to be subordinate to $1+4z/3+2z^{2}/3=:varphi_{c}(z)$ when $(1-alpha)p(z)+alpha p^{2}(z)+beta zp'(z)/p(z)$ is subordinate to $e^{z}$. similar problems were investigated for $p(z)$ to lie in a region bounded by lemniscate of bernoulli $|w^{2}-1...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relation between birth weight and beta cell function in the first degree relatives of non-insulin dependent diabetic subjects. DESIGN Cross sectional study of 101 adults of known birth weight from 47 families which had at least one member with non-insulin dependent diabetes. SUBJECTS 101 white adults aged mean 43 (SD 7) years. SETTING Oxfordshire, England. MAIN ...

Abstract Background Prevalence of hereditary blood diseases such as sickle cell anemia, sickle thalassemia and thalassemia major are high in Khuzestan province. Sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia are predominantly common in Iranian Arabs. Pulmonary complications account for a large proportion of morbidity and mortality in patients with and sickle cell disease. Periodic lung function asse...
