The 3 ocelli of the blowfly Calliphora erythrocephala, grouped close together an the top of the head (Fig. 1), have large, extensively overlapping visual fields. Together they view the entire upper hemisphere of the surroundings plus part of the lower hemisphere (Figs. 5, 7). It is shown for the lateral ocelli that despite the underfocussing of the ocellar lens large patterns are imaged an the ...

Tmem173 was identified as a growth inhibitor associated with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II and a potential stimulator for IFN-β, an innate immune inducer and a negative feedback controller for RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation of monocytic macrophage cells. In this study, we confirmed that transmembrane protein 173 (Tmem173) overexpression inhibited the expression of os...

The SCNN1G gene, located on human chromosome 16p12, encodes the gamma subunit of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel, and mutations in SCNN1G can result in Liddle's syndrome or pseudohypoaldosteronism type I. We identified sequence variations in the promoter region of SCNN1G and examined the association between this polymorphism and blood pressure in a large cohort (n=4075) repres...

We describe the discovery circumstances and photometric properties of 2000 EB173, now one of the brightest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with opposition magnitude mR = 18.9 and also one of the largest Plutinos, found with the drift-scanning camera of the QUEST Collaboration, attached to the 1-m Schmidt telescope of the National Observatory of Venezuela. We measure B − V = 0.99± 0.14 and V −R =...

HARADA, T. Graft-versus-Host Reaction and GvH Disease. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1994, 173 (1), 171-181 Chronic GvHR was induced by inoculating parental lymphoid cells into F1 hybrid mouse. Combination of ATL and ATH, which were congenic recombinant strains differing only in H-2I and S region from each other, was chosen to induce class II-GvHR. Selective activation against partner' s alloantigen of ...
