Objective:  To evaluate the merits and demerits of abdominal, vaginal and laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy and assess the outcome.  To study the best possible route of approach for hysterectomy with minimal complications for gynaecological conditions without uterine descent. Material And Methods Study design:An Observational and Prospective study was conducted at Gandhi Hospital Sec...

15 SM/J mouse hybridoma antibodies that show antithymocyte autoantibody (ATA) activity by immunofluorescence staining were studied. Half of these antibodies react with determinants whose expression is associated with Thy-1, as shown by blocking experiments with anti-Thy-1 and loss of reactivity with Thy-1- mutant cell lines. The Thy-1 dependence of three of these ATA is further confirmed by the...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) represents the clonal outgrowth of transformed hematopoietic progenitor cells. We have found that blast cells in some cases of B-precursor cell ALL contain Ig heavy chain gene rearrangements with considerable diversity at the junctions of the variable (VH), diversity (D), and joining (JH) regions. This diversity consists of heterogeneous nucleotide sequences a...

To clarify whether mantle cell lymphomas (MCLs) are related to naive pre-germinal center B cells (expressing nonmutated rearranged VH genes) or to germinal center-derived memory B cells (expressing mutated rearranged VH genes), clonal IgH gene rearrangements using DNA from six MCLs were polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified and analyzed for the presence of somatic mutations. For comparison,...

Folding stabilities of camelized human antibody VH domains were studied through the determination of their melting points in thermodenaturation experiments. The melting point of a VH domain originating from a synthetic library of human VHs, which had been optimized for the use as small recognition units through the mimicking of camelid antibody heavy chains occurring naturally without light cha...

OBJECTIVES To compare the surgical and immediate postoperative outcomes for vaginal hysterectomy (VH) with those for laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) in patients with enlarged myomatous uterus. METHODS Eighty women requiring hysterectomy for an enlarged myomatous uterus were randomly allocated into 2 treatment arms: VH (n=40) and LAVH (n=40). The randomization procedure w...

There are two immunogenic sites on the type A influenza A/Japan/57 (H2N2) hemagglutinin (HA) that can be recognized by class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC), H-2Kd-restricted cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs). One of these sites encompasses two distinct partially overlapping epitopes, which span HA residues 204-212 and 210-219. During the analysis of the fine specificity of CTL clones dir...

Introduction In posted-offer markets the competitive outcome for a market, defined by the intersection of market supply and market demand curves, is frequently not a Nash equilibrium for the market viewed as a stage game. Rather, one or more sellers often have incentives to deviate unilaterally from the competitive outcome. A simple example illustrates. Consider a market with two sellers, S1 an...
