摘要:
An animal containment system for use in housing animals, the animal containment system including a floor pan disposed in a first plane, first and second end walls, each said end wall oppositely disposed from each other and including a bottom edge and a top edge, a back wall including a bottom edge and a top edge, two doors, each including a bottom edge and a top edge, oppositely disposed from the back wall arranged to cover the open front portion of said animal containment system, a top panel oppositely disposed from the floor pan, a shelf disposed in between the floor pan and top panel, a wire ladder extending between the floor pan and said shelf, and a wheel base assembly comprising a base panel, four support tubes and at least four removable caster wheels.

SH2 containing inositol 5′-phosphate (SHIP) modulates the activation of immune cells after recruitment to the membrane by Shc and the cytoplasmic tails of receptors. A novel SHIP isoform of approximately 104 kd expressed in primitive stem cell populations (s-SHIP) is described. It was found that s-SHIP is expressed in totipotent embryonic stem cells to the exclusion of the 145-kd SHIP isoform expressed in differentiated hematopoietic cells. s-SHIP is also expressed in primitive hematopoietic stem cells, but not in lineage-committed hematopoietic cells. In embryoic stem cells, s-SHIP partners with the adapter protein Grb2 without tyrosine phosphorylation and is present constitutively at the cell membrane. It is postulated that s-SHIP modulates the activation threshold of primitive stem cell populations.
摘要:
Inhibition of dendritic cell function in solid organ grafts or allogeneic bone marrow transplants prior to or during engraftment by blocking SH2-containing inositol phosphatase (SHIP) expression or function is taught as a method of abrogating immune rejection and thereby increasing the efficacy of engraftment of an allogeneic bone marrow transplant or solid organ allograft or xenograft. Also disclosed is a transgenic mouse having the genotype SHIP−/− which exhibits enhanced survival following mismatched allogeneic marrow grafts.
摘要:
A highly flexible and scalable architecture implements a wide variety of protocol bridging, including ATM SARing (segmentation and reassembly) operations and related functions with single call granularity for network to telecom interface applications such as voice over Internet. A very small packet size minimizes packetization delay so that VOIP can be realized without expensive echo cancellation.

The instant invention teaches the inhibition of SHIP expression, or function, for the increased efficacy of autologous stem cell transplants. In another embodiment, interference with SHIP function can be used to temporarily expand and mobilize the hematopoietic stem cell compartment to assist with leukapheresis, to promote hematopoietic recovery after myeloablation treatments, to deplete target stem cell clones (such a leukemic clones and other tumor stem cell types), and to deplete, or damage, the repopulating ability of the endogenous hematopoietic stem cell pool in order to allow transplanted hematopoietic stem cells to better home and engraft and to promote in vivo expansion and mobilization of other organ-specific stem cell populations (e.g., mesenchymal, mammary).
摘要:
In a fluid face seal assembly comprising an elastomeric annular seal for engaging in a recess of a stationary housing or the like component, an axially directed extension on a radially inner limb of the annular seal, an annular face seal carried by said extension and spring means acting between said face seal and said annular seal to maintain a resilient relationship between the two, the invention provides a step constituting a carrier member at the free end of the extension and a thickened free end on the step which retains the face seal in abutment against the shoulder between the step and the remainder of the extension, and a retainer acting to compress the thickened end of the step between itself and a radially adjacent part of the face seal thereby mechanically to lock said face seal onto said carrier member.
