Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel cytokine protein called Cytotoxic Lymphocyte Maturation Factor (CLMF) which is produced and synthesized by a human B lymphoblastoid cell line. CLMF synergistically induces in the presence of low concentrations of IL-2 the cytolytic activity of Lymphokine Activated Killer (LAK) cells. CLMF is also capable of stimulating T-cell growth. The present invention also relates to cloned genes coding for CLMF proteins and derivatives thereof, to recombinant vectors comprising a polynucleotide encoding a CLMF protein, to microorganisms transformed with the said recombinant vectors, to antibodies directed to the said proteins as well as to processes for the preparation of the said proteins, vectors and antibodies. Furthermore the present invention relates to methods for stimulating LAK cells, T-cells or Natural Killer Cells using the said CLMF protein.

Abstract: The shape of a testpiece (P) including minute irregularities may be determined by mounting it on a movable support (S) and projecting a beam from an interferometer on to it. The reflected beam passes through a transparent slide with further reflection and the fringes enable the surface shape to be determined over a series of overlapping zones. It is essential that the incident light (FM) is orthogonal to the test piece (P) surface and this may be ensured by interposing an orientatable mirror (M1). The mirror is automatically guided to the correct position by an optical sensor (CO) which brings a luminous point (PO) representing the measuring beam (FM) to a reference location.

Abstract: The method operates over an extended geographical area which is covered by a cellular network of radio telephones (Z1-Zn). A call is received from a dedicated call station which has a unique number in that area. The zone location of the user is determined and provided to an operator, who puts out a general call over the cellular network starting with the service provider nearest the caller. When a service provider responds, the general transmission is stopped. The caller is then put in direct communication with the service provider. The service provider can accept or reject the caller and in the latter case the general transmission is resumed.
