Recent reports have documented the presence of SV40 large T antigen (T ag) sequences in a number of human tumors and raised the question of whether cellular immunity to T ag is elicited in such individuals. We used HLA-A2.1 transgenic C57BL/6 mice to identify an epitope from T ag recognized by CD8+ CTLs when presented by this human MHC class I molecule. Immunization of HLA-A2.1 transgenic mice ...

Bipolar spindle formation is essential for faithful chromosome segregation at mitosis. Because centrosomes define spindle poles, abnormal number and structural organization of centrosomes can lead to loss of spindle bipolarity and genetic integrity. ASAP (aster-associated protein or MAP9) is a centrosome- and spindle-associated protein, the deregulation of which induces severe mitotic defects. ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES High-dose systemic steroid therapy is the mainstay treatment for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Recovery rates from SSNHL range are about 47-63% and are influenced by various prognostic factors. To evaluate the prognostic value of specific clinical parameters, we reviewed 289 cases by clinical and statistical analysis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This study incl...

We have determined the influence of reference particle deformability and suspending buffer tonicity on the measurement of lymphocyte volume by an electronic particle volume analyzer. When the volume analyzer was standardized with latex spherules having a shape factor (fe) of 1.5, red cell volume was 96 cu micron and lymphocyte volume was 289 cu micron. The red cell volume corresponded closely t...
