Abstract: A method of controlling the amount of a biologically active substance binding to a cell surface having both receptors to the substance and receptors for the Fc domain of an antibody that can complex with the substance or other antibodies that can complex with the substance. By exploiting the generally more numerous Fc receptor sites, substance binding can be increased and/or controlled. Method contemplates controlling amounts of substances such as cytokines, hormones, and growth factors that are associated with cells such as monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, B cells, T cells, and platelets. Method is illustrated using conjugated antibodies to tissue necrosis factor (TNF) to increase the binding of TNF to monocytes.

Abstract: A self-blast circuit breaker comprising a movable assembly including an arc chamber in two parts consisting of a blast chamber (17) and of a compression chamber (18). The two chambers are separated from one another by a crown (9). The compression chamber (18) is closed by a semi-movable piston (11). The circuit breaker is characterised by a means for immobilising the piston during a first part of the movement of the movable contact assembly between a closing position and an opening position and by a means for axially displacing the piston with the movable contact assembly during a second part of this displacement. This makes it possible to reduce the quantity of energy necessary for displacing the movable contact assembly during the opening operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Cyclic homodetic peptides having a repeating D-L-chirality motif are shown to have a stable disk conformation with the amino acid side chains extending radially outward and the carbonyl and amino groups extending axially upward or downward. Such cyclic peptides can be employed as subunits in the assembly of molecular tubes. Cyclic peptides having a repeating D-L-chirality motif and lacking mutually repulsive side-chains are shown to stack atop one another in an anti-parallel fashion and are shown to be held together by the formation of beta-sheet hydrogen bonding. The stacked cyclic peptides form a molecular tube having a central channel. The diameter of the channel is determined by the size cyclic peptide. If the cyclic peptide includes ionizable amino acid residues, e.g. glutamic acid or lysine, assembly and disassembly of the molecular tubes can be controlled by varying the pH. If the cyclic peptide includes hydrophobic amino acid residues, the molecular tube will insert into a lipid membrane. In such instances, the molecular tube provides a transmembrane channel. The channel can be gated or ungated. Molecular tubes can be terminated with a terminal cyclic peptide having methylated amino groups in one orientation. Molecular tubes may be employed as drug carriers, molecular sieves, reaction vessels, membrane channels, and other uses.
