Myelin basic protein (MBP) is highly immunogenic and a known autoantigen capable of inducing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), the animal model of multiple sclerosis. We have previously described a murine monoclonal antibody (mAb), F28C4, directed against the encephalitogenic MBP peptide acetyl (Ac) 1-9, which contains a V lambda x light chain. Considering the rarity of V lambda x ...

Aziridinyl substituted cyclophosphazenes are a new group of inorganic chemical agents with in vitro and in vivo cytotoxic activity. We investigated the mode of action on DNA of three different compounds, 1,3,3,5,5-pentakis (1-aziridinyl)-1 lambda 6,2,4,6,3 lambda 5,5 lambda 5-thiatriazadiphosphorine -1-oxide (SOAz), trans-1,3-bis(1-aziridinyl)-1,3,5,5-tetrakis (methylamino)-2,4,6,1 lambda 5,3 l...

Methods have been developed for preparing mouse immunoglobulin light chain mRNA of better than 90% purity. Hybridization of both lambda and kappa mRNAs to excess liver DNA yielded results compatible with gene reiteration frequencies of two to three. There was no evidence of hybridization of these highly purified mRNAs to reiterated DNA, and, in fact, the kinetics of hybridization were very simi...

Let $X$ be a reflexive Banach space, $T:Xto X$ be a nonexpansive mapping with $C=Fix(T)neqemptyset$ and $F:Xto X$ be $delta$-strongly accretive and $lambda$- strictly pseudocotractive with $delta+lambda>1$. In this paper, we present modified hybrid steepest-descent methods, involving sequential errors and functional errors with functions admitting a center, which generate convergent sequences ...

In this paper, we prove Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of $C^*$-ternary algebra homomorphism for the following generalized Cauchy-Jensen equation $$eta mu fleft(frac{x+y}{eta}+zright) = f(mu x) + f(mu y) +eta f(mu z)$$ for all $mu in mathbb{S}:= { lambda in mathbb{C} : |lambda | =1}$ and for any fixed positive integer $eta geq 2$ on $C^*$-ternary algebras by using fixed poind alternat...

Given four complex matrices $A$‎, ‎$B$‎, ‎$C$ and $D$ where $Ainmathbb{C}^{ntimes n}$‎ ‎and $Dinmathbb{C}^{mtimes m}$ and let the matrix $left(begin{array}{cc}‎ A & B ‎ C & D‎ end{array} right)$ be a normal matrix and‎ assume that $lambda$ is a given complex number‎ ‎that is not eigenvalue of matrix $A$‎. ‎We present a method to calculate the distance norm (with respect to 2-norm) from $D$‎ to ...
