background & aims: mistyping either a donor or a recipient can lead to transfusion with abo incompatible blood which results in severe intravascular hemolysis and may even result in the death of the recipient. abo phenotype is one of the essential tests in immunohematology. eighty percent of blood group a and ab persons are subtype a1 and a1b, respectively. the other 20% of these blood groups a...

Cellulose nitrate films (commercially available as LR 115 films were irradiated systematically with alpha particles in the energy range from 1 to 5 MeV with incident angles from 30◦ to 90◦. After etching to remove a thickness of 6.5 m, the lengths of the major and minor axes of the alpha-particle track openings in the films were measured with an image analyser under an optical magnification of ...

In this study, we investigated the expression of lipocortin I and II (annexin I and I in the human bronchial epithelium, both in vivo and in vitro. A clear expression of lipocortin I and II protein was found in the epithelium in sections of bronchial tissue. In cultured human bronchial epithelial cells we demonstrated the expression of lipocortin I and II mRNA and protein using Northern blottin...

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) have been identified as a potent secretor of the type I interferons (IFNs) in response to CpG as well as several viruses. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism of virus recognition by pDCs. First, we demonstrated that the CD11c+Gr-1intB220+ pDCs from mouse bone marrow secreted high levels of IFN-alpha in response to either live or UV-inactivated ...

To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying high metastasis rate of brain for non-small cell lung cancer patients and to establish a comprehensive differential gene profile metastasis. The differentially expressed genes were systematically investigated. enriched biological processes signaling pathways explored. protein-protein interaction network was constructed. Compared with primary cance...
