An anaerobic glove box designed for moderate-sized hospitals or research laboratories is described. The compact vinyl and metal enclosure becomes anaerobic rapidly after inflation, requires no vacuum pump, and provides incubator space equivalent to 15 standard anaerobic jars.

Beekeeping is an essential economy branch. Therefore, it so important to study the conditions that affect its state. The Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR) one of most melliferous regions Far East. main species here linden. Forest fires are a major negative factor in growth linden region under study. research aims at identifying and studying forests, which include linden, suitable for development b...

The first successful in vitro cultivation of Plasmodium falciparum in sickle cells in a gas mixture containing 3% oxygen, 4% carbon dioxide and 93% nitrogen has been reported recently, contradicting earlier claims that the parasite does not multiply continuously in sickle cell trait (HbAS) and sickle cell anemia (HbSS) erythrocytes at low oxygen tension. The present study extends that report by...

Binding of the complement-downregulating protein factor H (fH) to the surface of the meningococcus is important for survival of the organism in human serum. The meningococcal vaccine candidate factor H binding protein (fHbp) is an important ligand for human fH. While some fHbp-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) block binding of fH to fHbp, the stoichiometry of blocking in the presence of hig...

We compared the specificities of transport mechanisms for uptake and efflux of thyroid hormones in cells of the human choriocarcinoma cell line, JAR, to determine whether triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and reverse T3 (rT3) are carried by the same transport mechanism. Uptake of 125I-T3, 125I-T4 and 125I-rT3 was saturable and stereospecific, but not specific for T3, T4 and rT3, as unlabell...

Transcriptomic studies are useful for elucidating molecular mechanisms through which changes in nutrient availability produce pleiotropic effects on whole-body and tissue physiology. To further the knowledge of gene-regulatory effects of Zn on tissues important for adult and fetal Zn nutrition, we analysed the responses of human intestinal Caco-2 and placental JAR cells to changes in Zn supply....

This paper describes the use of the Thawte’s “Web of Trust” X.509 certificates for signing and distributing executable Jar resources. A keytool wizard (called the Initium X.509 Certificate Wizard) was developed in order to help with the importation and management of certificates. A signed Jar file generally indicates that the signer authorizes the contents. Signing is accomplished using a certi...
