antibodies found in the serum of a hemophiliac who had received numerous blood transfusions. In addition to anti-N, anti-S, and anti-K, the serum contained an antibody which reacted with bloods of certain Rh types, only blood cells from persons bearing at least one chromosome of type cde or cDe being agglutinated by this antibody. It svas postulated that these reactions were due to a new antige...

Rh(D) antigen-containing polypeptide was prepared by immune precipitation of intact cDE/cDE erythrocytes by using a high-titer preparation of polyclonal anti-D. when isolated Rh(D) polypeptide was administered to rabbits, antibody was produced that was unresponsive toward Rh-positive and -negative cells but reacted strongly with the immunogen in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-type immunobind...

Primary care physicians (PCPs) often do not recommend complete diagnostic evaluation (CDE; i.e., diagnostic colonoscopy or the combination of flexible sigmoidoscopy and barium enema X-ray procedures) for patients with an abnormal screening fecal occult blood test (FOBT+) result. Information is needed to understand why PCPs do not recommend CDE. In the spring of 1994, a telephone survey was carr...

This paper is based on a presentation by Professor Claudio de Moura Castro on Brazilian higher education at a CDE Roundtable: ‘Reflecting on Brazil’s Success’. Professor de Moura Castro was part of a Brazilian delegation of experts brought to CDE for a series of workshops. (See CDE, Reflecting on Brazil’s Success: How Durable? What Lessons for South Africa? CDE Roundtable, No. 20, September, 2012)

Quantization Table is responsible for compression / quality trade-off in baseline Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) algorithm and therefore it is viewed as an optimization problem. In the literature, it has been found that Classical Differential Evolution (CDE) is a promising algorithm to generate the optimal quantization table. However, the searching capability of CDE could be limited du...

Until recently it has been assumed that the autoantibodies found in acquired haemolytic anaemia are non-specific; that is to say they react with all types of human red cells and are unrelated to any known blood group antibodies. However, Weiner, Battey, Cleghorn, Marson, and Meynell (1953) have described a patient in whom the auto-antibody had the specificity anti-e, the patient's red cells hav...

We have studied the function of a conserved germline-specific nucleotidyltransferase protein, CDE-1, in RNAi and chromosome segregation in C. elegans. CDE-1 localizes specifically to mitotic chromosomes in embryos. This localization requires the RdRP EGO-1, which physically interacts with CDE-1, and the Argonaute protein CSR-1. We found that CDE-1 is required for the uridylation of CSR-1 bound ...
