4-Methyl-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol (MPBD) (1) and dictyoquinone (DQ or 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-6-pentyl-1,4-benzoquinone) (2) are two polyketides involved in the cell development of Dictyostelium discoideum. We synthesized several MPBD DQ analogs tested their ability to recover aggregation delay stlA null strain. According findings, alkyl side chain both compounds facilitates activity. The parent n-p...

CONTEXT Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DQ haplotypes have the strongest genetic association with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) risk. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to analyze whether HLA DQ alleles influence the development of antiislet autoantibodies, the progression to T1DM among autoantibody-positive relatives, or both. DESIGN The Diabetes Prevention Trial-1 screened more than 90,000 n...

Genetic control of immune response was investigated by family and population analyses in humans. It was first recognized that there are high responders and low or non responders to natural antigens in human population. Family analysis revealed that low responsiveness to streptococcal cell wall antigen (SCW) was inherited as an HLA-linked dominant trait. CD8 + suppressor T ceils existed in low r...

two different dual phase steels were prepared from low carbon manganese steel after the eliminationof the banding using the direct quenching (dq) and the step quenching (sq) procedures. different heattreatments resulted in different martensite morphologies, microstructures and mechanical properties. theheat treatments were designed in such a way to obtain a 0.25 volume fraction of martensite (v...

The maximal and next-to-maximal subspaces of a nonsingular parabolic quadric Q(2n, 2), n ≥ 2, which are not contained in a given hyperbolic quadric Q+(2n − 1, 2) ⊂ Q(2n, 2) define a sub near polygon In of the dual polar space DQ(2n, 2). It is known that every valuation of DQ(2n, 2) induces a valuation of In. In this paper, we classify all valuations of the near octagon I4 and show that they are...

Cattle express Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I1 products encoded by the DR and DQ loci. Each haplotype expresses a single DR product, and one or more DQ products due to duplication of the DQ locus in about half the common cattle haplotypes. In order to define the roles of the individual class I1 products in antigen presentation and T cell responses, we are cloning and transfectin...
