The catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase is shown to be associated with the putative cellulose-synthesizing complex (rosette terminal complex [TC]) in vascular plants. The catalytic subunit domain of cotton cellulose synthase was cloned using a primer based on a rice expressed sequence tag (D41261) from which a specific primer was constructed to run a polymerase chain reaction that used a cD...

Peripheral lymphocytes from patients with urinary bladder carcinoma and controls have been separated on the basis of rosette formation with sheep erythrocytes. The fractions were tested for tumor-specific cytotoxicity. The E rosette-forming cells of purity 90% respond well in PHA-induced cytotoxicity but are totally inactive in the tumor assay. The non-E rosette-forming cells (purity 91%) give ...

The goal of unbounded program verification is to discover an inductive invariant that safely over-approximates all possible program behaviors. Functional languages featuring higher order and recursive functions become more popular due to the domain-specific needs of big data analytics, web, and security. We present Rosette/Unbound, the first program verifier for Racket exploiting the automated ...

Malaria parasites dramatically alter the rheological properties of infected red blood cells. In the case of Plasmodium vivax, the parasite rapidly decreases the shear elastic modulus of the invaded RBC, enabling it to avoid splenic clearance. This study highlights correlation between rosette formation and altered membrane deformability of P. vivax-infected erythrocytes, where the rosette-formin...

Dermatophyties are diseases caused by keratinophilic fungi. We here report the case of a 8-year old vaccinated female child having extremely itchy vesicular-erosive lesions grouped in rosette-like pattern at the level of the tail of the left eyebrow (A), the nostrils, the extensor surfaces of the forearm and the upper part of the chest and back associated with hypochromic scars (B), without dig...

The spontaneous sheep erythrocyte (E) rosette test was used on 340 occasions to measure T cell levels in 28 renal allograft recipients. The E rosette counts were reduced by high-dose steroids but usually returned towards normal under maintenance treatment with azathioprine and low-dose prednisone. Unexpectedly, rejection crises were more often associated with a decrease in E rosettes before ste...

The freeze-fracture, freeze-etch technique can be employed to reveal new details of the process of fusion of two unit membranes For this study, mucocyst discharge in Tetrahymena pyriformis provides a model system with certain general implications The undischarged mature mucocyst is a saclike, membrane-bound, secretory vesicle containing crystalline material The organelle tip finds its way towar...
