    摘要: The invention provides compositions and methods for increasing the levels of an autoantigen-specific IgM antibody in a mammal and, thus, decreasing the levels of a circulating autoantigen in a mammal. Using these autoantigen-specific IgM anti-bodies, the invention provides compositions and methods for ameliorating an autoimmune disease in a mammal. In one aspect, the invention provides compositions and methods for increasing the levels of an antigen-specific IgG antibody in a mammal and, thus, decreasing the levels of a circulating antigen in a mammal. Using these antigen-specific IgG antibodies, the invention provides compositions and methods for ameliorating a disease or condition in a mammal, e.g., a cancer or a foreign antigen, such as a pathogen.

    摘要: A gamma ray detector for determining the position of gamma ray interactions has at least one module (1). Each module has a converter (2) for converting gamma rays (3) to charged particles (4), a scintillator (5) for emitting light in response to charged particles produced by the converter, a photodectector (6) to determine when light has been emitted from the scintillator, a two-coordinate position detector (7) for determining the X and Y coordinates of charged particles interacting with the position detector, and a signal device (8) for signaling the presence of emitted light in the photodetector and for activating the position detector.

    摘要: The present invention relates to light guides (1) capable of encoding the transverse and longitudinal coordinates of light emission induced by the interaction of photons in an array of a plurality of the light guides. Each light guide has at least two discrete crystal segments (4) adjacently disposed along a common longitudinal axis of the light guide (1). Between adjacent segments is a boundary layer (7) having less light transmission than the light transmission of the crystal segments (4). A light absorbing mask (8) increases light adsorption in a segment (4). Photons enter the light guide (1) and cause the emission of scintillation light which is delivered in different and resolvable quantities to light sensing devices. The differences in quantity of delivered light is caused by successive decreases in light transmission to light transmitting end (5) caused at least in part by the boundary layers (7). The differences in quantity of light establish the segment from which the light emission took place.
