Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing retroviral proteins which are protease, reverse transcriptase, endonuclease and Gag proteins. The method is characterized by the consecutive accomplishment of expression and processing of retroviral genes and these products under the stepwise cultivation of hosts transformed with a vector constructed to carry retroviral gene fragments comprising at least a protease gene and one or more of the other genes coding for retroviral proteins. The retroviral proteins of this invention are used as specific reagens for the diagnosis of retroviral disease, e.g., AIDS, malignant tumors and so forth, also may be used as the basis for research and development of antiviral agents and a vaccine against the above infectious diseases, and for genetic engineering.

Abstract: A scanning confocal epi-illumination microscope comprising a light source (1), which may be a laser, for supplying a light beam to a light condenser (18), which may be a lens. Condenser (18) focuses the light onto object (20) to be examined so as to illuminate a point observational field on or within the object. Reflected, fluorescent or scattered light from the illuminated point field is collected by condenser (18) and transmitted to detector (34). Scanning means (16,17,21,22,25) causes illuminated point field to move in scanning pattern relative to object (20). The outgoing light passing from light source (1) to condenser (18) and the returning light are transmitted via optical fibres and a light separator to divert the return light to detector (34). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Mammalian melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is isolated from rat tissue, purified and characterized. These MCH peptides are useful for treating skin disorders, for suppressing the proliferation of skin tumor cells, such as melanomas in mammals, and for modulating the secretion of ACTH. Generally, peptides are provided which have the following formula:    <IMAGE>   or which are naturally occurring homologs of the peptide with said formula. The peptides which are the naturally occurring MCH homologs of mammalian species other than rat can also be obtained using the materials disclosed, as demonstrated specifically with human MCH, which is found to have the same structure as rat MCH. Also disclosed are the amino acid sequences of, and the nucleotide sequences of the cDNAs which encode, the putative precursors of rat MCH and human MCH. These precursors may also include one or more biologically active peptides N-terminally of the mature MCH's. Among these peptides, which are thought to be formed from the MCH precursors, are the peptide with the sequence H-Glu-Ile-Gly-Asp-Glu-Glu-Asn-Ser-Ala-Lys-Phe-Pro-Ile-NH2, which is cross-reactive with antibodies against alpha-MSH and CRF, and the peptide with the sequence H-Gly-XNGE-Phe-Pro-Ala-Glu-Asn-Gly-Val-Gln-Asn-Thr-Glu-Ser-Thr-Gln-Glu-OH, wherein XNGE is Pro-Ala-Val or Ser-Val-Ala, which is cross-reactive with antibodies against GRF.

Abstract: A high opacity, defined kaolin clay product having a relatively narrow particle size distribution, low colloidal particle content and an average particle surface area of less than about 30 square meters per gram is prepared by defining an aqueous kaolin clay slurry via controlled centrifugation to remove a substantial portion of the colloidal particles therein. Prior to being subjected to centrifugation, the aqueous kaolin clay slurry is prepared so as to improve the defining process achieved via centrifugation by first subjecting the aqueous kaolin clay suspension to scrub grinding so as to break up agglomerates into individual kaolin clay particles without substantial delamination of the kaolin clay particles. Thence, the mechanically dispersed kaolin clay suspension is dispersed well by the addition of a chemical dispersant, most advantageously sodium hexamethaphosphate, and dilution water is admixed into the aqueous kaolin clay suspension to reduce the solids content thereof to a level less than at least about 18% solids by weight, and preferably to about 5% to about 15% by weight, prior to centrifugation.

Abstract: A method for online editing of compressed digital test vectors in an automated circuit test system 100, without requiring re-compilation of the test program source code. A method is provided for online editing of vectors compressed in both "indirect" and "keep/toggle (K/T)" compression formats. The test system environment within which the method operates comprises a computer 112 and associated random access memory 114. The method can be summarized as follows: First, a new vector is created in random access memory (RAM) 114 by storing a copy of the target vector to be modified. Next, pointers in RAM 114 are adjusted to point to the new vector. Then, in order to compensate for K/T compression, the vector following the target vector must be examined to determine whether it requires modification, because of a "ripple effect" caused by modification to the previous vector. If the following vector requires modification, then a copy of the vector must also be created in RAM 114. Pointers in RAM 114 are also adjusted to point to the copied following vector. Finally, the target vector is modified per user input, and the copied following vector, if created, is modified to compensate for the effect(s) of K/T compression. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Charges of acrylic acid monomer which are overneutralised and underneutralised in relation to the degree of neutralisation of the final polymer are employed successively for the preparation of superabsorbent powders consisting of partially neutralised polyacrylic acid by a process including the formation of a polymer gel by a first polymerisation of monomer in inverse suspension followed by the polymerisation of a second monomer charge absorbed in this gel. The powders thus obtained consist of particles of spheroidal shape. It is very advantageous to conduct this process with the aid of emulsifiers which are suitably chosen to enable the stage of absorption of monomer by the intermediate gel to be carried out at temperatures of the order of 35-45 DEG C.
