The numbers of antibody producing cells (PFC) and the percentages of Fc receptor cells (FcR) and complement receptor cells (CRL) in the ocular and lymphoid tissues of rabbits immunized intravitreally with ovalbumin were determined. Antibody-producing cells were detected first in the lymph nodes and then in the uveas and corneas. The uveal tracts contained more than 50% FcR early in the antibody...

Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is an important trait to target in breeding programs order improve fish farming sustainability and increase environmental efficiency. Due the complexity of accurately measuring individual feed consumption fish, developing a selective programme FCR challenge. Using video-recordings several consecutive meals tilapia groups, we selected two divergent lines Nile for high...

BACKGROUND H-reflex is a valuable electrophysiological technique for assessing nerve conduction through entire length of afferent and efferent pathways, especially nerve roots and proximal segments of peripheral nerves. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between normal values of flexor carpi radialis (FCR) H-reflex latency, upper limb length and age in normal subjects, and to...

The purpose of this study was to determine muscle tissue oxidative capacity and recovery in intermediate, advanced, and elite rock climbers. Forty-four male participants performed (a) sustained and (b) intermittent contractions at 40% of maximal volitional contraction (MVC) on a sport-specific fingerboard until volitional fatigue. Near-infrared spectroscopy was used to assess muscle tissue oxyg...

Human T lymphocytes were initially identified (1) and distinguished from B lymphocytes based on the ability of T cells to form spontaneous rosettes with sheep erythrocytes (E). 1 Within the E + subset, Moretta et al. (2) defined a discrete subpopulation of cells that bound IgG-coated erythrocytes (EA) via a specific cell surface receptor for the Fc region of IgG (FcR). This population was desig...

We report evidence that FcR(CD16) on human NK cells are signal-transducing molecules that, upon ligand binding, induce transcription of genes encoding surface activation molecules [IL-2-R(CD25)] and cytokines (IFN-gamma and TNF) relevant to NK cell biology and functions. Homogeneous NK and T cell populations purified from short-term bulk cultures of PBMC with irradiated B lymphoblastoid cell li...

1 May 3, 2014 **PAS Oral Presentation PREDICTORS OF FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IN FAMILY-CENTERED ROUNDS Elizabeth Cox, MD PhD, Victoria Rajamanickam, MS, Tasha Scott, BS, and Gwen Jacobsohn, MA Background: Experts endorse family-centered rounds (FCR) to ensure high quality inpatient care. However, some families may not engage optimally in FCR. Objective: To identify families less engaged in FCR. Design...

43 [1] retrospectively compared results of a phase II study of pentostatin and rituximab (PR) to previously published results using pentostatin, cyclophosphamide and rituximab (PCR) [2]. The pentostatin dose was increased to 4 mg/m2 in the PR regimen, but demographics of patients in both studies were similar [1]. Overall response rate (OR) and complete response (CR) rates were similar for PR (7...
