In a dot immunobinding test glycolipid and phospholipid antigens were recognized by anti-T. dionisii (DION) and anti-T. vespertilionis (VESP) monoclonal antibodies (mabs). Five of them crossreact with T. cruzi and cells of the central nervous system (CNS) (astrocytes, neurons). Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) of neuraminidase treated T. cruzi cells indicated that two antigens were organized i...

abstract tomato spotted wilt virus (tswv) was detected in tomato leaf and fruit samples collected from viiramin reyion in tehran province using indicator test plants including petunia hybrida, nicatiana glutinosa, n. tabacum cv. snmsun nn, n. clevelandit and n. benthamiana and seroloyical tests. small browinsh local necrotic lesions appeared on p. hybrida leaves 2-4 days post-inoculation. syste...

We have developed a multiplex reporter system to monitor multiple biological variables in real-time. The secreted Gaussia luciferase was fused to ten different epitope tags (Gluc(tag)), each expressed in different tumor cells. By immunobinding of the tags followed by Gluc(tag) detection, this system allowed the independent and real-time monitoring of mixed cell cultures in vitro and of mixed su...

Canzoneri, Cumby, and Diba have written a very good paper on the relationship between fiscal and monetary policy. It is informative, clear, and persuasive. As the title indicates, the analysis deals exclusively with the cases of the United States and the European Union (EU). In a way, however, these are the countries where the discussion on the connection between fiscal and monetary policy is l...

Blended interaction often is about blending the physical with the digital. In contrast to common discussions of blending that focus on the commonality of the input domains we focus on the unique features of interacting with physical and digital artifacts. We propose PIBADIBA lists (Physical Is Better At – Digital Is Better At) that capture the strengths of using the physical and digital realms ...

Placental alkaline phosphatase (placental ALP, PLAP) and germ-cell ALP (GCAP, also known as placental-like ALP), expressed in gonadal cancer tissues, are potential tumor markers. Four monoclonal antibodies, raised against PLAP and recognizing different epitopes, were selected to study the influence of the following variables on the accuracy of PLAP and GCAP measurement: phenotype, molecular for...
