Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) transplanted in utero are in competition with endogenous HSC; thus, ultimately the graft constitutes a relatively small fraction of total HSC pool. To enhance the engraftment of donor cells in sheep fetuses, we preincubated these cells, ex vivo, for 16 hours at 37 degrees C with the conditioned medium from phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes (PHA-LCM) before...

We introduce a basis of rational polynomial-like functions P 0 ,. .. , P n−1 for the free module of functions Z/nZ → Z/mZ. We then characterize the subfamily of congruence preserving functions as the set of linear combinations of the functions lcm(k) P k where lcm(k) is the least common multiple of 2,. .. , k (viewed in Z/mZ). As a consequence , when n ≥ m, the number of such functions is indep...

We determine the structure of equilibrium states for a natural dynamics on the boundary quotient diagram of C-algebras for a large class of right LCM semigroups. The approach is based on abstract properties of the semigroup and covers the previous case studies on N⋊N, dilation matrices, self-similar actions, and Baumslag– Solitar monoids. At the same time, it provides new results for large clas...

Ca- and Sr-doped lanthanum manganese perovskites La0.95A0.05Mn0.98Fe0.02O3+δ (A = Ca, Sr) (LCM LSM) of non-stoichiometric (NS) stoichiometric (S) compositions were prepared by sol-gel method investigated 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy magnetic measurements. In contrast to samples, which contain pure singles phases, a mixture orthorhombic phases O (PnmaI), O′ (PnmaII)and O′′ (PnmaII*)are detected i...

Local field potentials (LFPs) are widely used to study the function of local networks in the brain. They are also closely correlated with the blood-oxygen-level-dependent signal, the predominant contrast mechanism in functional magnetic resonance imaging. We developed a new laminar cortex model (LCM) to simulate the amplitude and frequency of LFPs. Our model combines the laminar architecture of...

The increasing demand for a sustainable larviculture has promoted research regarding environmental parameters, diseases and nutrition, intersecting at the mucosal surface of the gastrointestinal tract of fish larvae. The combination of laser capture microdissection (LCM) and gene expression experiments allows cell specific expression profiling. This study aimed at optimizing an LCM protocol for...

Two types of lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) viruses were studied which, upon intracerebral injection into adult C3H mice, provoked either (a) acute fatal central nervous system (CNS) disease or (b) life-long persistent infection. Both virus types, (a) aggressive and (b) docile, had been found to induce LCM-specific lymphocytes with comparable in vitro lytic activity (11). Because the requir...

Resident pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAM) play an important role in the maintenance of immunological homeostasis in the lung via downmodulation of local T cell responses in the steady state. The present study demonstrates that this pathway for T cell suppression is reversible via granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Thus, freshly isolated PAM strongly inhibit mitogen-i...

A culture system has been developed that promotes growth of clonogenic lymphoma cells of some patients with intermediate and high-grade malignant lymphoma. The formation of colonies in bone marrow, lymph nodes, and peripheral blood samples is best supported by human plasma. Colony formation of some patients was dependent upon growth factors, which in this study were added in the form of medium ...
