Infection of the mouse peritoneal cavity by bacillus Calmette-Gu6rin (BCG) 1 markedly alters the surface properties of macrophages (mob), compard with cells obtained from uninfected control animals or after injection of thioglycollate broth. BCG-activated peritoneal mob (BCG-PM) express enhanced Ia antigens (Ag), but reduced receptors for mannose-terminated glycoconjugates (MFR), Fc receptors, ...

Phosphoinositides (PIs) are multiply phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol, a glycerophospholipid, and seven PI species exist in higher eukaryotes. Each PI species is produced and converted to another PI species by strictly regulated phosphorylation and dephosphorylation on the inositol ring through PI-specific kinases and phosphatases, respectively. PIs function as an intracellula...

We present observations of the most radio-luminous BAL quasar known, 1624+3758, at redshift z = 3.377. The quasar has several unusual properties: (1) The FeII UV191 1787-˚ A emission line is very prominent. (2) The BAL trough (BALnicity index 2990 kms −1) is detached by 21000 kms −1 and extends to velocity v =-29000 kms −1. There are additional intrinsic absorbers at-1900 and-2800 kms −1. (3) T...
