A class of Balanced Bipartite Row-Column Designs (BBPRC-designs) in two sets of treatments of sizes v1=v and v2=v+1 with replications 2(v-1) and 2v, respectively, has been constructed by replacing the ii-th positions of 2v × 2v standard cyclic latin square design in 2v treatments by 2v treatments by (2v+1)-th treatment. Such design finds applications in agricultural and industrial experimentati...

We have previously found that monkey V 2V 2 T cells mount adaptive immune responses in response to Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin infections. We have now analyzed rhesus monkey T cell responses to nonpeptide Ags and superantigens. Like human V 2V 2 T cells, rhesus monkey T cells are stimulated when exposed to prenyl pyrophosphate, bisphosphonate, and alkylamine Ags. Responsiveness...

The expression levels of the copper transporter P-type adenosine triphosphatase (ATP7B) are known correlate with tumor cell sensitivity to cisplatin. However, the mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance remained poorly understood. Therefore, in the present study, we treated Hep-2 cells and in-house-developed vincristine-resistant Hep-2v cells with 50, 100, or 200 µM cisplatin and assessed ce...

A series of ice mixtures containing carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO(2)), and molecular oxygen (O(2)) with varying carbon-to-oxygen ratios from 1 : 1.5 to 1 : 4 were irradiated at 10 K with energetic electrons to derive formation mechanisms and destruction pathways of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO(2)), and carbon trioxide (CO(3)) in extraterrestrial, low temperature ices. Rea...

UNLABELLED Very low levels of variability have been reported for the herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) genome. We recently described a new genetic variant of HSV-2 (HSV-2v) characterized by a much higher degree of variability for the UL30 gene (DNA polymerase) than observed for the HG52 reference strain. Retrospective screening of 505 clinical isolates of HSV-2 by a specific real-time PCR assay ta...

Our previous study of homozygous mutants of the ventricular specific isoform of myosin light chain 2 (mlc-2v) demonstrated that mlc-2v plays an essential role in murine heart development (Chen, J., Kubalak, S. W., Minamisawa, S., Price, R. L., Becker, K. D., Hickey, R., Ross, J., Jr., and Chien, K. R. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 1252-1256). As gene dosage of some myofibrillar proteins can affect...

X-ray scattering measurements are performed in order to verify that the mechanism leading to the DC electric field induced C 2v → C 6=19 2v phase transition in KDP crystal at 119 K is the changing of the local sites symmetries of phosphate group from C2 in the C 19 2v phase to Cs in the C 6=19 2v phase. It is shown by analyzing the integrated intensity of the (800) and (080) reflections that un...

We assign the 2v(3) ? v(3) absorption transitions seen in a double-resonance pump-probe experiment. We compare the observed frequencies with those derived by calculating the 2v(3) rovibrational energy levels, using spectroscopic constants resulting from a 3v(3) analysis. Some features in the multiple-photon v(3) absorption spectrum of SF(6) can be attributed to two-photon transitions to 2v(3).

Human T cells appear to belong to non-classical T cells with both innate and adaptive immune features. V 2V 2 (also termed V 9V 2) T cell subset exists only in primates, and in humans that represents a major T cell subpopulation in the blood. V 2V 2 T cells remain to be the only T cell subpopulation that can recognize a welldefined foreign microbial phosphoantigen. This article reviews the rece...
