Abstract: Fluorescent conjugates suitable for use in flow cytometry and other biological applications. The fluorescent conjugates comprise an antibody having a polymeric dye bound thereto. The polymeric dye is preferably enhanced by a hydrophobic and conformationally restrictive moiety either bound thereto or in close association therewith. The hydrophobic and conformationally restrictive moiety is preferably derived from a cyclodextrin. The polymeric dye comprises a polymeric entity having signal-generating groups, such as aminostyryl pyridinium dye residues attached thereto. The fluorescent conjugates exhibit exceptional stability characteristics and avoid many of the problems of energy transfer, bio-conjugability, and solubility.

Abstract: A pro-inflammatory T response is specifically prevented by the injection into a recipient of DNA encoding the variable region of a T cell receptor. In response to the vaccination, T cells expressing the variable region produce Th2 cytokines, including IL-4. A pro-inflammatory T cell response directed to an autoantigen is shown to be suppressed by DNA vaccination. The suppressive vaccination further reduced the inflammatory effect of T cells reactive against epitopes of the autoantigen not recognized by the variable region used for vaccination.

Abstract: Materials can be assayed for activity as an inhibitor of post-translational protein phosphorylation by adding the material to a growing culture of a prokaryotic organism such as a streptomycete; allowing the culture to grow for a period of time in the presence of the material; and observing the culture for altered development relative to development of the prokaryotic organism grown in the absence of the material. Observation of altered development is indicative that the material has activity as an inhibitor of post-translational protein phosphorylation. In particular, the material to be tested can be added to a growing culture of the prokaryotic organism by placing a carrier disk bearing the material on a freshly seeded plate. Inhibition of the development of aerial mycelia and spore formation is an indicator that the material has activity as an inhibitor of post-translational protein phosphorylation.

Abstract: There is provided a low profile valve assembly (10) for controlling flow of air and the like. The valve assembly includes a housing (16) defining inlet and outlet ports and a valve operator located within the housing. The operator includes a body portion (56) seated in the housing with an axis of rotation and defining an internal passage with inlet and outlet ends. An actuator (68) rotates the body portion a first predetermined distance to a fill position to allow flow through the internal passage and a second predetermined distance opposite the first direction to a vent position to allow flow to vent from the valve assembly through the outlet end. A spring (92) extends from the valve operator adjacent the body portion between the axis of rotation and the valve housing. The spring extends partially about the axis of rotation to bias the body portion to an off position to substantially prohibit flow through the valve operator when the body portion is not being actuated to the fill and vent positions. The spring operates substantially within an internal space in the operator about the axis of rotation. The valve assembly includes an orifice to reduce volume flow through the valve assembly and an exhaust passage portion to reduce flow pressure between the inlet and outlet ends. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pneumatic isostatic forging process for densification of near net shape workpieces is disclosed. In the process, a workpiece is heated prior to the forging process, such as from a previous processing step. The workpiece is loaded into a pressure vessel. The pressure in the vessel is ramped to an operating pressure and held for approximately 10-120 seconds. The vessel is pressurized using rapid pressurization to achieve a high strain rate to assist in the final closure of voids within the workpiece, with the increase in the strain rate lowering the flow stress requirements for the workpiece, thereby making the workpiece more susceptible to plastic deformation. The rapid pressurization serves to densify the gas within the vessel, thereby increasing the viscosity of the gas in order to substantially reduce or altogether prevent absorption of the gas into the workpiece in order to sustain a differential between the internal pressure and the surface pressure of the workpiece, thereby allowing plastic deformation to take place through a collapsing of the material, or removal of the voids. After pressurization of the vessel for a prescribed period of time, it is depressurized and the workpiece is unloaded.
