NOTES ON ABNORMAL TYPES OF THE LARVA OF SMERINTHUS MYOPS
Authors: Bunker Robert 
Published: February 2010

For three years past I have reared this species from eggs and young worms, and in no instance have they agreed with descriptions I have met with. Two years ago I had a brood of eight. Three of them had six spots—three on each side—two four spots, one two spots, and two without spots.Last year I had nine, not one of which had the least semblance of a spot, and were lighter green than those of the year before. This year the brood consisted of seven, two of which were unspotted, one with four, three with two, and one with a single spot.

NOTES ON STAPHYLINIDÆ
Authors: Townsend C. H. T. 
Published: February 2010

The following are some notes on a dozen of the more interesting species of Staphylinidœ which I have found in this vicinity. Two of the species, which will be duly given, were determined by M. Fauvel. All the others were identified by Dr. Horn.Falagria dissecta Er. Numbers of this almost minute species were taken 8 Oct., 1884, in, on and under decaying and rain-soaked fragments of a large, reddish-tinged fungus growth, which I had previously plucked and broken to pieces to obtain Phenolia grossa Fab.
THE ENTOMOLOGY OF VANCOUVER ISLAND.: NOTES ON SEVENTY-SIX SPECIES OF CICINDELIDÆ AND CARABIDÆ COLLECTED NEAR VICTORIA, VANCOUVER ISLAND
Authors: Taylor George W. 
Published: February 2010

The beetles enumerated below were all taken by myself in the neighbourhood of Victoria, Vancouver Island, during the past few seasons. Some of the larger species, especially the Colosomas, were captured under heaps of rubbish in my garden. The species of Omus and Cychrus and many others were found while searching for land shells under oak logs in the woods. Very many kinds too were found under stones, also during search for shells, while most of the rarer kinds were taken, accidentally I might say, while flying in the sunshine.The number of specimens of Carabidae that could be collected here is very large, individuals being in fact far more numerous than I have ever seen them anywhere else, and I feel confident that a season's careful working would almost double my present list of species.
ON PHYSONOTA UNIPUNCTATA Say, AND ITS SUPPOSED VARIETIES
Authors: Caulfeild F. B. 
Published: February 2010

As considerable doubt appears to exist with regard to the three species or races of Physonota described by say, Randall, and Walsh and Riley, and as I had in former years found a species of this genus to be rather common in the vicinity of Montreal, I endeavored during the past season to find it again, and, as far as my opportunities would permit, work up its life history.Early in May I made a careful search in the locality where I had previously found it, but at this date its food plant had not yet appeared above ground. I tried again in June, the time at which I had formerly taken the first brood.
NOTES ON CERESA BUBALUS, Say
Authors: Jack John G. 
Published: February 2010

Read before the Montreal Branch Ent. Soc. of Ont., 9th Feb., 1886.During the past two years, but more especially this season, we have been very much troubled and annoyed by the attacks of the Buffalo Treehopper (C. bubalus Say) on the young trees in the orchard. Most of the trees have been seriously injured by having the bark cut up by the ovipositors of these insects, when depositing their eggs. These incisions and the eggs in them were so numerous that in many cases it was impossible to raise the bark for the purpose of “budding” the trees.
THE COLIAS CONTROVERSY
Authors: Stretch R. H. 
Published: February 2010

It is to me a most distasteful task to take part publicly in the “Colias” controversy between Mr. Edwards and Dr. Hagen, as I was an invited guest of Dr. Hagen on the trip to Washington Territory, where the events took place which have given rise to the discussion; but in the interest of science, which seeks nothing but the truth, it seems as though the time had come when I ought to state in a concise manner what I know of the whole matter. I have been cut off from all my books for the last five months, while travelling from place to place, or this letter would have been written earlier. I did not know till quite recently the phase to which the controversy had arrived. Probably the best thing I can do is to state the manner in which our party was organized, and the manner in which our collecting was done.The party consisted of Dr. Hagen, and his assistant, Samuel Henshaw. In San Francisco I was invited to join it, and did so.

MONOGRAPH OF THE LOMATINA OF NORTH AMERICA
Authors: Coquillett D. W. 
Published: February 2010

The Lomatina may easily be distinguished from the other Bombylidæ by the following characters:Front very large; antennæ shorter than the head, the third joint at least twice as long as the first, taperirg to the tip, or suddenly contracted near its base, the terminal portion styliform; terminal style minute. Proboscis never projecting more than one half its length beyond the hyperstoma. Front and face when viewed from the side form a gentle curve, never greatly produced at base of antennæ. Wings with two submarginal and four posterior cells; furcation of the second and third veins occurs before the small cross-vein at a distance of at least twice the length of that cross-vein. All of the tibiae bristly.
A NEW CHALCID PARASITE ON THE COMMON BASKET WORM (Thyridopteryx ephemerœformis Haworth)
Authors: Ashmead Wm. H. 
Published: February 2010

This peculiar moth, which so perplexed the older Lepidopterists at classifying, is quite common in Florida on oaks, willows, shrubs, etc.Full accounts of its habits, with accurate figures of the moth, caterpillar, etc., will be found in Prof. Riley's “First Mo. Report,” Saunders' “Insects Injurious to Fruits,” and Dr. Lintner's “First N. Y. Report.”Indeed, these authors quite fully, accurately and succinctly describe the habits and parasites of this pest, and it would not now be noticed by me but for the fact of my breeding from it here in Florida a Chalcid parasite new to science and unnoticed by any of the above mentioned authors.

SOME NOTES ON THE GENUS COLIAS WHILST ALIVE IN THE IMAGO STATE
Authors: Geddes Gamble 
Published: February 2010

The paper which I have prepared to read upon the genus Colias differs from any that I have consulted up to the present time, in that it treats principally of the habits of the different species during lifetime in the imago state.During the last ten years giganitc strides have been made by lepidopterologists in breeding the different species of this perplexing family, and their efforts have been crowned with such succes that only a few remain about which nothing is known of the primary stages. It is about the life habits in the prefect state of someof these that I propose to address you, and if my paper does no good, it certainly cannot do any harm, as you will see by the subjoined list of my captures of the different species of Coliadæ that I have a right to express an opinion in this particular direction.

NOTES ON SOME SPECIES OF HOMOPTERA
Authors: Bean Thos. E. 
Published: February 2010

The suggestion of Mr. Hill (quoted on p. 89) that Homopteras “edusa and lunata are possibly sexes of one species,” has reminded me of my own doubts regarding not only edusa and lunata, but also Saundersii, and caused me to make a careful examination of my material.My entire stock numbers 83 local specimens, arranged after authentic types in three series, consisting of 42 “lunata,” 24 “Saundersii,” and 17 “edusa.”.The specimens separated as lunata show no white lines or areas on upper side of wings.

ON THE GENERA NOLA AND ARGYROPHYES
Authors: Grote A. R. 
Published: February 2010

I have received from Canada (London, Mr. Saunders) a nerv and easily recognizable species of Nola,larger than ovilla, and in describing it, I have again gone over the characters of Argyrophyes, which I find to be allied to Nola, and not to belong to the Geometridæ. I have corrected my former observations on Argyrophyes, which I find to have been largely erroneous.Nola sexmaculata, n. s.
TINEINA FROM TEXAS
Authors: Chambers V. T. 
Published: February 2010

My knowledge of this genus is derived wholly from Prof. Zeller's paper. It is equal in part at least to Holcocera Clem. (I have to thank Prof. Riley for calling my attention to the fact that in some of my references to this genus the name is incorrectly given as Holocera.)B. sciaphilella., as described and figured, differs from H. triangularella Cham. as to the position, size and form of the triangular spots on the wings. Sciaphilella has distinct opposite, comparatively small costal and dorsal triangles, while triangularella has no dorsal triangle, but a single large costal one, wide upon the costa and crossing the fold, and it also has the apical part of the wing distinctly streaked and clouded with brownish gray.

Abstract
IL-15 is required for NK cell development and homeostasis in vivo. Because IL-15 is presented in trans via its high-affinity IL-15Rα–chain to cells expressing the IL-15Rβγ complex, we postulated that certain IL-15–bearing cells must be required for NK cell homeostasis. Using IL-15WT/WT and IL-15−/− mice, bone marrow chimeras with normal cellularity, and a selective depletion of CD11chi dendritic cells (DCs), we demonstrate that ablation of the resting CD11chi DC population results in a highly significant decrease in the absolute number of mature NK cells. In contrast, administration of Flt3 ligand increases the CD11chi DC population, which, when expressing IL-15, significantly expands mature NK cells via enhanced survival and proliferation. In summary, a CD11chi DC population expressing IL-15 is required to maintain NK cell homeostasis under conditions of normal cellularity and also is required to mediate Flt3 ligand-induced NK cell expansion in vivo.

Abstract
Visualizing oncogene/tumor Ag expression by noninvasive imaging is of great interest for understanding processes of tumor development and therapy. We established transgenic (Tg) mice conditionally expressing a fusion protein of the SV40 large T Ag and luciferase (TagLuc) that allows monitoring of oncogene/tumor Ag expression by bioluminescent imaging upon Cre recombinase-mediated activation. Independent of Cre-mediated recombination, the TagLuc gene was expressed at low levels in different tissues, probably due to the leakiness of the stop cassette. The level of spontaneous TagLuc expression, detected by bioluminescent imaging, varied between the different Tg lines, depended on the nature of the Tg expression cassette, and correlated with Tag-specific CTL tolerance. Following liver-specific Cre-loxP site-mediated excision of the stop cassette that separated the promoter from the TagLuc fusion gene, hepatocellular carcinoma development was visualized. The ubiquitous low level TagLuc expression caused the failure of transferred effector T cells to reject Tag-expressing tumors rather than causing graft-versus-host disease. This model may be useful to study different levels of tolerance, monitor tumor development at an early stage, and rapidly visualize the efficacy of therapeutic intervention versus potential side effects of low-level Ag expression in normal tissues.

AbstractUrokinase receptor (urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor [uPAR], CD87), a GPI-anchored protein, is considered to play an important role in inflammation and fibrinolysis. The Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei is able to survive and replicate within leukocytes and causes melioidosis, an important cause of pneumonia-derived community-acquired sepsis in Southeast Asia. In this study, we investigated the expression and function of uPAR both in patients with septic melioidosis and in a murine model of experimental melioidosis. uPAR mRNA and surface expression was increased in patients with septic melioidosis in/on both peripheral blood monocytes and granulocytes as well as in the pulmonary compartment during experimental pneumonia-derived melioidosis in mice. uPAR-deficient mice intranasally infected with B. pseudomallei showed an enhanced growth and dissemination of B. pseudomallei when compared with wild-type mice, corresponding with increased pulmonary and hepatic inflammation. uPAR knockout mice demonstrated significantly reduced neutrophil migration toward the pulmonary compartment after inoculation with B. pseudomallei. Further in vitro experiments showed that uPAR-deficient macrophages and granulocytes display a markedly impaired phagocytosis of B. pseudomallei. Additional studies showed that uPAR deficiency did not influence hemostatic and fibrinolytic responses during severe melioidosis. These data suggest that uPAR is crucially involved in the host defense against sepsis caused by B. pseudomallei by facilitating the migration of neutrophils toward the primary site of infection and subsequently facilitating the phagocytosis of B. pseudomallei.

Published: February 2010

AbstractIgA is a specific isotype required for mucosal immunity and is the most abundant Ab produced in vivo. Recently, several inductive signals for IgA class switch recombination have been identified; however, the molecular details of the action of these signals and the specific factors acting in B cells remain elusive. In this study, we show that combination of retinoic acid (RA) and TGF-β1 with other factors induced a much higher frequency of IgA-switched cells than reported previously. In addition, IgA production is severely impaired in Runx2-Runx3 double-deficient mice. In Runx2-Runx3–deficient B cells, both RA- and TGF-β1–dependent inductions of α germline transcription are completely blocked. These data suggest that Runx proteins play an essential role in IgA class switching acting downstream of RA and TGF-β1 signaling.
Mechanism of T Cell Tolerance Induced by Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

Published: February 2010

Abstract
Ag-specific T cell tolerance plays a critical role in tumor escape. Recent studies implicated myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the induction of CD8+ T cell tolerance in tumor-bearing hosts. However, the mechanism of this phenomenon remained unclear. We have found that incubation of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells, with peptide-loaded MDSCs, did not induce signaling downstream of TCR. However, it prevented subsequent signaling from peptide-loaded dendritic cells. Using double TCR transgenic CD8+ T cells, we have demonstrated that MDSC induced tolerance to only the peptide, which was presented by MDSCs. T cell response to the peptide specific to the other TCR was not affected. Incubation of MDSCs with Ag-specific CD8+ T cells caused nitration of the molecules on the surface of CD8+ T cells, localized to the site of physical interaction between MDSC and T cells, which involves preferentially only TCR specific for the peptide presented by MDSCs. Postincubation with MDSCs, only nitrotyrosine-positive CD8+ T cells demonstrated profound nonresponsiveness to the specific peptide, whereas nitrotyrosine-negative CD8+ T cells responded normally to that stimulation. MDSCs caused dissociation between TCR and CD3ζ molecules, disrupting TCR complexes on T cells. Thus, these data describe a novel mechanism of Ag-specific CD8+ T cell tolerance in cancer.
