Seven mouse monoclonal antibodies and the lectin Ulex europaeus, detecting blood group related antigens of the ABH and Lewis systems, have been used to determine the immunophenotype of human renal cell carcinomas. Immunohistochemical analyses have demonstrated that these antigenic systems are differentially expressed by distinct normal cell types and domains of the human nephron. In the present...

Blood group A, B, H, Le, Leb, Lex, and Ley antigenicity as well as the expression of CA 19-9 were examined in pancreatic cancer specimens from 30 patients, using monoclonal antibodies to the respective antigen and immunohistochemical techniques, and the findings were correlated with the blood group types (ABO and Lewis) of the individuals. Compatible antigen expression was found in 82, 75, and ...

In this paper, we show three main results. First, we show that an n-gram dataset built from a large web crawl, as opposed to data from the specific target domain, can be used to perform the task of named entity recognition with reasonable accuracy. Second, we show that for complex domains, such as the MUC-7 NER task, the Lex method may not perform as well as other methods, due largely in part t...

This paper discusses the changing relationship between canonic law and state (civil) in history. In general, we can discern three stages: domination, confrontation-conflic lastly harmony. The stages are marked by theories or principles describing justifying current situation. Pope Gelasius, for instance, forward double sword principle. With advent of nation-states emerging scientific approach t...

Human blood group A, B, H, Ii, Le(a) and Le(b) antigens and their determinants expressed on ovarian cyst glycoproteins have been studied for over five decades. However, little is known about sialyl Le(x) and sialyl Le(a) glycotopes, which play essential roles in normal immunity, inflammation, and cancer cell metastasis. Furthermore, Le(x) and Le(y) were classified as glycotopes of unknown genes...

International law is faced with the challenge between lex lata and ferenda in nature. Lex lata, based on legal positivism, has binding obligations a top-down compliance structure, while ferenda, contrary, non-binding values bottom-up adherence architecture. Determining nature of each regime important because depending its nature, assessment efficiency will be different. The question whether evo...

Changes in the glycosylation of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides have been shown in various tumor cells, including human colon cancer. Attempts were made to elucidate the difference in Asn-linked oligo-saccharides attached to lysosomal membrane glycoproteins isolated from sublines of human colon carcinoma exhibiting high and low metastatic potentials in nude mice. Lysosomal membrane glycoprot...
