Lymph node cells obtained from a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, of follicular center cell histology, were seen by immunofluorescence to express immunoglobulin mu heavy chains but no detectable light chain on their surfaces. Antibody specific for determinants expressed only on uncombined mu-chain reacted with these cell surfaces, but not with normal or neoplastic cells expressing surface IgM. A...

The title novel mixed mu(2)-SH- and mu(3)-SH-bridged tetranuclear copper(I) complex, cyclo-bis[mu(2)-bis(diphenylphosphino)amine]di-mu(3)-sulfanido-di-mu(2)-sulfanido-tetracopper(I) methanol disolvate, [Cu(4)(SH)(4)(C(24)H(21)NP(2))(2)].2CH(3)OH, has crystallographically imposed centrosymmetry and affords a neutral Cu(4)S(4) core with a distorted step-like structure. The distances of 2.8458 (16...

Like several other Escherichia coli bacteriophages, transposable phage Mu does not develop normally in groE hosts (M. Pato, M. Banerjee, L. Desmet, and A. Toussaint, J. Bacteriol. 169:5504-5509, 1987). We show here that lysates obtained upon induction of groE Mu lysogens contain free inactive tails and empty heads. GroEL and GroES are thus essential for the correct assembly of both Mu heads and...

A series of fascinating diiron complexes featuring bridging N(x)H(y) ligands stabilized by tris(phosphine)borate ([PhB(CH(2)PR(2))(3)] = [PhBP(R)(3)]) ligands have been characterized. Hydrazine activation by [PhBP(R)(3)]Fe-Me (R = Ph or cyclohexylmethyl) leads to diiron Fe(2)(mu-eta(1):eta(1)-N(2)H(4))(mu-eta(2):eta(2)-N(2)H(2)) complexes featuring both bridging hydrazine and hydrazido ligands....

The number of linac monitor units (MU) from intensity modulated sequential tomotherapy (IMST) is substantially larger than the MU delivered in conventional radiation therapy, and the relation between MU and dose is obscure due to complicated variation of the beam intensities. The purpose of this work was to develop a practical method of verifying the MU and dose from IMST so that the MU of each...
