Cystic lesions of the liver in the adult can be classified as developmental, neoplastic, inflammatory, or miscellaneous. Although in some cases it is difficult to distinguish these entities with imaging criteria alone, certain cystic focal liver lesions have classic computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features, which are important for the radiologist to understand and ...

Mouse salivary androgen-binding protein (ABP) is a major secretory product of the submaxillary glands. Although it is a common salivary protein among rodents generally, the function of ABP has yet to be determined. Here we report a comparison of the DNA coding sequences and putative amino acid sequences they determine for the three common alleles of the Alpha subunit gene (Abpa), alleles that a...

Hanc commentationem in medium protulerunt S. Cohn et C.W. Borchardt e manuscriptis posthumis Caroli G. J. Jacobi. Variæ formæ canonicæ quas datum systema æquationum differentialium vulgarium inducere potest considerantur. Investigatio ordinis systematis, sine formæ canonicæ auxilio, ad solvendum problema inæqualitatum reducitur: affectationum problema. Novum genus formularum, determinantia manc...

Androgen control of the RP2 gene in the mouse kidney has been modified during evolution. In inbred mice (Mus domesticus), the concentrations of mRNAs encoded by RP2 undergo a 10- to 12-fold induction in response to testosterone; in other Mus species (e.g., Mus hortulanus and Mus caroli), induction ranges from none to about two- to fourfold. In this communication, we show that androgens induced ...

AIM This study was undertaken in order to determine whether anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 is responsible for a previously described protection against Klebsiella infection mediated by antilipopolysaccharide antibodies. METHODS BALB/c mice were infected intraperitoneally with a lethal challenge of Klebsiella pneumoniae Caroli. One group was protected with monoclonal antibodies prio...
