[3H]palmitic acid was metabolically incorporated into the viral fusion protein (F) of Edmonston or freshly isolated measles virus (MV) during infection of human lymphoid or Vero cells. The uncleaved precursor F0 and the F1 subunit from infected cells and extracellular virus were both labeled, indicating that palmitoylation can take place prior to F0 cleavage and that palmitoylated F protein was...

Systematic, well-designed research provides the most effective approach to the solution of many problems facing highway administrators and engineers. Often, highway problems are of local interest and can best be studied by highway departments individually or in cooperation with their state universities and others. However, the accelerating growth of highway transportation develops increasingly ...

The psychoanalytic clinic for anorexia and bulimia puts us into immediate contact with the question of the body, as well as with aspects typical of adolescence. These aspects especially include difficulties in early relationships with the mother regarding the management of the drives, and relationships with primary identification. Consequently, we are dealing with ideals, differentiation, auton...

method of administering therapeutic agent for their systematic effects such as patient acceptance, convenience in administration, and cost-effective manufacturing process. Thus, a wide variety of approaches of drug delivery system (DDS) have been investigated for oral application. However, the development process is precluded by several physiological difficulties, such as an inability to restra...

Variant viruses mutated in the immunodominant cytotoxic T cell epitope surface (S) glycoprotein S-510-518 are selected in mice chronically infected with mouse hepatitis virus, strain JHM. We determined whether this selection occurred in the presence of an oligoclonal or polyclonal T cell response using soluble MHC/peptide tetramers in direct ex vivo analyses of CNS-derived lymphocytes. A total ...

The purpose of this study was to compare the variation in hemoglobin (Hgb) values among various point-of-care (POC) analyzers available on the market. Eight analyzers (Gem 3000, ABL 720, ABL 77, Rapidpoint 405, IL 682, GemOPL, Hb 201+, and manual/centrifugation) were compared with the Hgb values from the Beckman Coulter LH750. A total of 72 patient samples were analyzed on each test instrument....

Aims. We present the first results of a large spectroscopic survey of candidate globular clusters located in the extreme outskirts of the nearby M31 galaxy. The survey is aimed at ascertaining the nature of the selected candidates to increase the sample of confirmed M31 clusters lying more that 2 • away from the center of the galaxy. Methods. We obtained low resolution spectra (λ/∆λ ≃ 800 − 130...
