As one of the first to work at the Carnegie Institution of Washington [5] Department of Embryology, Warren Harmon Lewis made a number of contributions to the field of embryology [6]. In addition to his experimental discoveries on muscle development and the eye, Lewis also published and revised numerous works of scientific literature, including papers in the Carnegie Contributions to Embryology ...

Phyllanthus urinaria (P. urinaria), a widely used herb medicine, was tested for the anticancer effect in its water extract for the first time. The water extract of P. urinaria significantly decreased the number of Lewis lung carcinoma cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner as determined by MTT assay. However, the water extract of P. urinaria did not exert any cytotoxic effect on normal cells...

Reactive systems in a thermochemical conversion domain are modelled considering N-specie, 1-energy and 2-mass conservation equations assuming negligible pressure gradient resulting N+3 non-linear coupled PDE system with dependency on thermodynamic transport properties. Typically, simplistic temperature-dependent polynomials chosen for estimating thermal conductivity specific heat, however, the ...

We have examined the reactivity of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for Lewis antigens (Le(x), Le(y), Le(a), and Le(b)) with Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharides (LPS) by immunoblot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Sixty-eight strains of H. pylori were isolated from patients with chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and gastric cancer in Japan. The cell...

Despite the implication that choroidal mast cells are involved in the onset of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU), a widely used animal model of uveoretinitis, little is known of these cells. In the present study the distribution, total number, regional density, and phenotype of choroidal mast cells were examined in Lewis, Wistar Furth, PVG/c, and brown Norway rats. Choroidal mast cell...
