摘要:
Cell surface gangliosides are presumed to play a role in cell growth and differentiation. Using monoclonal antibodies directed against G.sub.D3, a disialoganglioside expressed predominantly by cells of neuroectodermal origin, we have found that G.sub.D3 is expressed by a subpopulation of cells of the immune system including: a) fetal thymocytes in subcortical regions and near vessels, 2) lymph node lymphocytes in interfollicular areas and near vessels, and 3) a small subset of T cells in the peripheral blood. Mouse monoclonal antibodies (two IgGs, one IgM and F(ab').sub.2 fragments) reacting with G.sub.D3 were found to stimulate proliferation of T cells derived from peripheral blood. Proliferation induced by binding to G.sub.D3 could be augmented by exogenous IL-2, PMA, PHA or Protein A.
摘要:
The present invention concerns an animal enclosure (1). In particular, the present invention concerns an animal enclosure (1) including one or more enclosure units (2) adapted to contain an animal. Each enclosure unit (2) includes interconnection means (4) for connecting the enclosure unit (2) to one or more other enclosure units (2).
摘要:
Methods and Systems for reminding about print history use an approach in which one or more conditions, such as print job name and/or file size, of a subsequently submitted print job are monitored to determine if the one or more conditions of the subsequent print job is substantially similar to a corresponding one or more conditions of a previous print job. A reminder message is displayed on a user interface if such a similarity so determined, and in response, a user can enter a selection of an option in the reminder message to handle the reminder message and/or control print processing of the subsequent and/or previous print job. The reminder messaging can be pre-configured and turned off, as required.

Sparation system 250 for separating particles of a first fluid from a flow of a second fluid, wherein the first fluid has a higher density than the second fluid comprises holder means 252 and a separation chamber 254. A lid 256 is provided for separation chamber 254. A plurality of apparatuses 200 for coalescing particles of liquid dispersed in a gas flow are arranged to be disposed in the holder means 252 such that the outlets 210 of the apparatuses are arranged to direct coalesced particles of liquid in a gas flow to enter the separation chamber 254. The separation chamber 254 comprises a gas outlet 258 and a drain 260 arranged to enable particles of solid or liquid separated from gas in the separation chamber to exit the separation chamber 254.

A dialysis machine valve manifold assembly includes a plurality of pneumatic valves; a plate including a first side and a second side, the plurality of pneumatic valves mounted to the first side of the plate, the second side of the plate defining a plurality of pneumatic flow paths; and a port header mounted removably to the plate, the port header including a plurality of ports configured to connect sealingly to pneumatic tubing, the ports in fluid communication with the pneumatic valves via the pneumatic flow paths defined in the plate.
摘要:
A pad (10) of interleaving linear cells (2) has loop straps (1) to hold the central section of the cells (2) linearly in parallel with the cell axis (11), whilst the opposite ends (3) of each cell (2) are secured a pre-determined distance (4) off-set from the cell axis (11). The distance (4) can vary along the length of the pad. By fixing of the ends (3) of the cells (2) at a distance (4) away from the cell axis, each end (3) of the cell (2) is pulled away from the centre axis of the cell, the loop straps (1) and the cell (2) become tensioned, preventing the central cell section from moving or rotating. The resulting cell has been seen to dramatically reduce the movement of a user along the pad with improved user comfort and enhanced pressure relief.
摘要:
Smokable rods of cigarettes are manufactured using wrapping materials that incorporate at least one fibrous material (e.g., flax fibers, hardwood pulp fibers and/or softwood pulp fibers) at least one filler material (e.g., calcium carbonate in particulate form). The wrapping materials possess multi-layer coatings. The wrapping materials possess coatings in the form of series of spaced apart bands, each band possessing a series of layers. At least one of the coating layers can have a filler material dispersed or suspended within a film-forming material of that layer.
摘要:
A magnetic compass is provided which features a stationary central pointer which extends outwards to the inside of a rim displaying graduated angular indicia, said rim being integral with a pivoting disc which is magnetically coupled. The central pointer assumes the graphic shape of a craft, such as a ship's hull, the stationary disposition of which offers a more intuitive realisation of the directional heading of a vessel with respect to the cardinal axes of a compass.
