Murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) Lym-1 is an immunoglobulin G2a specific for certain human leukocyte antigen-DR variants expressed on the surface of malignant B cells. It has been proposed for serotherapy in patients with B lymphomas. We have previously shown that mAb Lym-1 synergizes with granulocyte macrophagecolony stimulating factor to promote Raji B-lymphoid cell lysis by human neutrophils...

In this study, the adsorption behavior of anionic dyes from aqueous solution onto mesoporous carbon material (CMK-1) and modified with polymer (PANI/CMK-1) has been investigated as a function of parameters such as adsorbent dose (0.08-0.8 g/L), solution pH 3–10, contact time and initial concentration (10-100 mg/L). The influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity has been studied us...

In e-commerce environments, the trustworthiness of a seller is utterly important to potential buyers, especially when the seller is unknown to them. Most existing trust evaluation models compute a single value to reflect the general trust level of a seller without taking any transaction context information into account. With such a result as the indication of reputation, a buyer may be easily d...

Mesoporous silica- and carbon-based materials, including bioactive glasses, have proven potential as components of medical devices drug carriers. From an application perspective, knowledge about the shelf-life stability these materials under various conditions is vital. Here, mesoporous glasses (MBGs) synthesized by aerosol-assisted spray-drying a batch sol–gel method, silicas SBA-15 type, carb...

The larvae of Schistosoma mansoni invade their mammalian host by utilizing a serine protease, cercarial elastase (SmCE), to degrade macromolecular proteins in host skin. The catalytic activity of serine and cysteine proteases can be regulated after activation by serpins. SmSrpQ, one of two S. mansoni serpins found in larval secretions, is only expressed during larval development and in the earl...

Let k¿2; n=2+1; and let m0; : : : ; mk−1 each be a multiple of n. The graph Cm0×· · ·×Cmk−1 consists of isomorphic connected components, each of which is (n − 1)-regular and admits of a vertex partition into n smallest independent dominating sets. Accordingly, (independent) domination number of each connected component of this graph is equal to (1=n)th of the number of vertices in it. ? 2001 El...

Four types of carbons (activated carbon, Maxsorb superactivated carbon, mesoporous templated carbon CMK-3, and graphene) were investigated as selective sorbents for adsorption of thiophene from its solution in n-octane. Graphene showed clearly the highest sulfur capacity. The relative sulfur capacities correlated well with the relative heats of adsorption. The carbene-type zigzag edge sites and...
