Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus-infected culture cells as targets were markedly reduced in numbers when incubated in vitro with spleen cells from LCM virus-immune mice, even if the cells were taken months after a subcutaneous immunizing infection of the donor animal. Spleen cells from mice persistently infected with LCM virus had no effect on target cells. Also, mitomycin C-blocked LCM...

The Linguistic Category Model (LCM) was developed as a manual coding scheme for quantifying abstract mindsets in human language. Previous attempts to computationally automate the LCM have relied primarily on pre-coded semantic features, which fail to incorporate important contextual information integral to the LCM coding scheme. In this paper, we introduce Syntax-LCM, a novel method for automat...

BACKGROUND There is still no consensus on the importance of lymphocyte cross-matching (LCM) in the field of living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). METHODS LCM examinations are routinely performed before LDLT, and the results of complement-dependent cytotoxicity were used in this study. A total of 1157 LDLT cases were evaluated. The recipients were divided into four groups based on the LCM...

PURPOSE to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) lacosamide (LCM) in the treatment of seizure clusters (SC) and status epilepticus (SE) in hospitalized adult patients. METHODS we prospectively analyzed treatment response, seizure outcome, and adverse effects of IV LCM in 38 patients with seizure emergencies (15 with SC, 23 with SE) during a hospital stay. The loading dose of IV...

Inoculation of newborn mice with lymphocytic chloriomeningitis (LCM) virus resulted in decreased weight gain, liver cell necrosis, and death. Injection of potent sheep immunoglobulin against mouse interferon markedly inhibited these manifestations of LCM virus disease despite the fact that these treated mice had 100-fold more LCM virus in their serum. We conclude that interferon induced by LCM ...

The possibility of an immunologic basis for the tissue injury associated with persistent lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) 1 viral infection in mice is suggested by several pieces of evidence. First, chronic LCM infection per se usually is not associated with cytopathogenicity. Mice persistently infected with LCM (LCM carriers) of most strains demonstrate high titers of virus in virtally all t...
