The membrane immunoglobulin heavy chain (micron) plays a feedback role during the pre-B stage of B lymphocyte differentiation. In pre-B cell lines, micron associates with two surrogate light chain proteins. The omega chain is disulfide linked to mu and was predicted to be the product of the lambda 5 gene. The iota chain is noncovalently associated with micron. We demonstrate that the omega prot...

Photonic crystals have been widely investigated since they have great potential to manipulate the flow of light in an ultra-compact-scale and enable numerous innovative applications. 2D slab photonic crystals for the telecommunication C band at around 1550 nm have multi-scale structures that are typically micron-scale waveguides and deep sub-micron-scale air hole arrays. Several steps of nanoli...

The influences of chondroitin sulfate C (C6S) on size, aggregation, sedimentation, and Zeta potential of sub-micron calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) and calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) crystallites with mean sizes of about 330 nm were investigated using an X-ray diffractometer, nanoparticle size Zeta potential analyzer, ultraviolet spectrophotometer, and scanning electron microscope, after whi...

Pritikin, William B. (University of California, Los Angeles), and W. R. Romig. Death of Bacillus subtilis auxotrophs due to deprivation of thymine, tryptophan, or uracil, J. Bacteriol. 92:291-296. 1966.-Auxotrophic mutants of Bacillus subtilis 168 that require either tryptophan, uracil, or thymine died rapidly when deprived of any of these compounds. Phage PBS1 was produced by infected B. subti...

The hypothesis that individual tumor subpopulations which differ in sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents can influence each other's drug sensitivity was investigated using a set of mouse mammary tumor subpopulations derived from the same tumor. In one set of experiments, syngeneic mice were given injections of cyclophosphamide (CY)-sensitive line 168 cells and relatively insensitive line 410 ...

In microsurgical procedures, surgeons need to perform complex operations on extremely small anatomy. Vitreoretinal surgery is one such complex surgery, where several new promising techniques are being developed, which require extraordinary control at sub-mm scales. For these reasons, micron (robotic aid) was developed to help surgeons gain better positioning accuracy, with active tremor cancell...

This paper reports a detection of the 30 micron emission feature from the C–rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star IRAS 03313+6058 based on the ISO– SWS observation. Modeling of the spectral energy distribution shows that this emission starts at about 20 micron and possibly extends to the limit (45 micron) of the observation. By assuming MgS as the carrier, the number ratio of Sulfur atom in M...

A retrospective light microscopic study of 310 consecutive endoscopic gastric biopsy specimens was performed. Spiral bacteria were found in 42% of cases and, apart from occasional organisms in parietal cell canaliculi, were confined to the surface of the glands and epithelium. Electron microscopic study of selected cases showed the bacteria to be approximately 6 micron maximum length and 0.7 mi...
