The Candida antigen CR3-RP (complement receptor 3-related protein) is supposed to be a 'mimicry' protein because of its ability to bind antibody directed against the alpha subunit of the mammalian CR3 (CD11b/CD18). This study aimed to (i) investigate the specific humoral isotypic response to immunization with CR3-RP in vivo in a rabbit animal model, and (ii) determine the role of CR3-RP in the ...

We showed previously that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is detectable in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumor biopsies and cell lines and that recombinant human IGF-I stimulates DNA synthesis in SCLC cells. Here we report further studies on the role of IGF-I in 2 SCLC cell lines: HC12, classic; and ICR-SC17, variant. Immunoreactive IGF-I was detected in medium conditioned by HC12 but not ...

Stembridge, J.R., Eulerian numbers, tableaux, and the Betti numbers of a toric variety, Discrete Mathematics 99 (1992) 307-320. Let Z denote the Coxeter complex of S,, and let X(X) denote the associated toric variety. Since the Betti numbers of the cohomology of X(Z) are Eulerian numbers, the additional presence of an &-module structure permits the definition of an isotypic refinement of these ...

A novel octadentate 3-hydroxypyridin-2-one (2,3-HOPO) based di-macrocyclic ligand was evaluated for chelation of (89)Zr; subsequently, it was used as a bi-functional chelator for preparation of (89)Zr-labeled antibodies. Quantitative chelation of (89)Zr(4+) with the octadentate ligand forming (89)ZrL complex was achieved under mild conditions within 15 minutes. The (89)Zr-complex was stable in ...

A novel octadentate 3-hydroxypyridin-2-one (2,3-HOPO) based di-macrocyclic ligand was evaluated for chelation of Zr; subsequently, it was used as a bi-functional chelator for preparation of Zr-labeled antibodies. Quantitative chelation of Zr with the octadentate ligand forming ZrL complex was achieved under mild conditions within 15 minutes. The Zr-complex was stable in vitro in presence of DTP...

Previous light microscopic immunocytochemical studies using two monoclonal antibodies that recognise alpha-tubulin (YOL/34 and YL1/2) but differ in their isotypic specificity have shown that the unmyelinated parallel fiber axons in the cerebellar cortex are labeled with only one of the antibodies (YOL/34). We now show that at 10 d postnatally the parallel fibers are labeled with both antibodies...
