We have shown previously that the mucins of the human pancreatic cancer cell line, SW1990, have both sialyl-Lewis(a) and sialyl-Lewis(x) carbohydrate ligands that are implicated in tumor cell metastasis. In the present study, we undertook to identify the protein core of these mucins. SW1990 mucins that carry sialyl-Lewis(a) and sialyl-Lewis(x) bound to the MUC1 peptide-specific mAb 139H2. Remov...

this report presents a 3.5-year-old boy who was hospitalized for limping. medical history and physical exams were not suggestive for any definitive diagnosis. laboratory and radiographic exams did not support any specific diagnosis either. subsequently bone scan was performed and increased activity in the ankle due to cuboid fracture was incidentally observed.

©AsiaPacific MediaEducator Issue No.11 July Dec. 2001 T paper discusses some fundamental assumptions about pluralism in the Australian print media. Pluralism, the number of print media outlets available to the public, and known as structural diversity, can be considered as one of two elements of media diversity. The other is the variety of views presented by those outlets, known as content dive...

Economic values of milk volume (VOL), fat yield (FYLD), protein yield (PYLD), live weight (LWT), longevity (LON), calving interval (CIV) and somatic cell score (SCS) were derived for Holstein and Jersey cattle, based on milk payment systems of four major milk buyers in South Africa. The economic value of somatic cell score was calculated for only two of the payment systems. A bio-economic model...

BACKGROUND Over two decades of observations in the field in South East Asia and Hawai'i suggest that majority of the commercial dairy herds are of black hair coat. Hence a simple study to determine the accuracy of the observation was conducted with two large dairy herds in Hawaii in the mid-1990s. METHODS A retrospective study on longevity of Holstein cattle in the tropics was conducted using...

Complex vertebral malformation (CVM) is an inherited, autosomal recessive disorder of Holstein cattle. The aim of this study was to compare sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, accuracy, and rapidity of allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR), created restriction-site PCR (CRS-PCR), and PCR with primer-introduced restriction analysis (PCR-PIRA), three me...

In this study, mRNA-Seq was used to characterize and compare the leukocyte transcriptomes from two taurine breeds (Holstein and Jersey), and one indicine breed (Cholistani). At the genomic level, we identified breed-specific base changes in protein coding regions. Among 7,793,425 coding bases, only 165 differed between Holstein and Jersey, and 3,383 (0.04%) differed between Holstein and Cholist...

Estimates of additive and nonadditive multibreed co-variance components, genetic parameters, and predicted genetic values for first lactation 305-d mature equivalent (ME) milk yield, fat yield, and protein yield were computed using data from a sample of 3316 cows from the Chilean Holstein-other breeds multibreed population. Variances and covariances were estimated by 2-trait REML analyses using...
