Tumor Growth Enhances Cross-Presentation Leading to Limited T Cell Activation without Tolerance (2002)

Using a tumor model of spontaneously arising insulinomas expressing a defined tumor-associated antigen, we investigated whether tumor growth promotes cross-presentation and tolerance of tumor-specific T cells. We found that an advanced tumor burden enhanced cross-presentation of tumor-associated antigens to high avidity tumor-specific T cells, inducing T cell proliferation and limited effector function in vivo. However, contrary to other models, tumor-specific T cells were not tolerized despite a high tumor burden. In fact, in tumor-bearing mice, persistence and responsiveness of adoptively transferred tumor-specific T cells were enhanced. Accordingly, a potent T cell-mediated antitumor response could be elicited by intravenous administration of tumor-derived peptide and agonistic anti-CD40 antibody or viral immunization and reimmunization. Thus, in this model, tumor growth promotes activation of high avidity tumor-specific T cells instead of tolerance. Therefore, the host remains responsive to T cell immunotherapy.
Recent progress of soybean protein foods: Chemistry, technology, and nutrition (1991)

Abstract The most important chemical reactions during the process of soybean protein foods are the intermolecular reactions among the residues exposed on the surface of the protein molecules through the denaturation process. In native soybean protein molecules, most amino acid residues responsible for the reactions—such as cysteine (‐SH), cystine (S‐S), and hydrophobic amino acid residues—are buried in the inside region of the molecule, inaccessible to water. These residues become reactable with each other through the exposure from the inside by heat denaturation during processing. The unique textures of soybean protein foods, such as tofu, kori‐tofu, yuba, and texturized products produced by extruder, etc., are the results of both the intermolecular interchange reaction between the exposed ‐SH and S‐S groups and the intermolecular hydrophobic reaction among the exposed hydrophobic amino acid residues. The exposure of amino acid residues is also important for the hydrolysis of soybean proteins by enzymes, through which soy sauce is produced, because the cleavage of the peptide bonds is carried out after binding between the active sites of the enzymes and the enzyme‐specific amino acid residues exposed through denaturation. These facts indicate the importance of the three‐dimensional structures of soybean protein molecules in the technology of soybean protein foods. Recently great progress has been made in the manufacturing techniques of soybean protein foods, such as soy milk, tofu, abura‐age, textured protein products, and soy sauce. The quality of soy milk and tofu was very much improved by controlling the action of the biologically active substances such as lipoxygenases and β‐glucosidases which are contained in soybeans and responsible for the production of off‐flavor. A new abura‐age, whose texture does not deteriorate during frozen storage or drying, was developed by using soybean protein isolate and oil as materials. A new type of textured protein product was also developed: a deep‐fat‐fried nugget with unique texture and flavor. This product is textured through a twin‐type extruder. For soy sauce manufacturing new biotechnology has been applied on the pilot‐plant scale. This is a system of continuous fermentation through bioreactors with the immobilized whole cells of microorganisms, by which the fermentation term is shortened strikingly. New and important discoveries were made on the nutrition of soybean proteins. According to recent experiments using human beings, the amino acid score of soybean proteins is 100 for persons more than 2 years old, indicating that the nutritive value of soybean proteins is equal to animal proteins. Further, it was elucidated that soybean proteins have cholesterol‐lowering action. A discussion is presented on the future of the soybean protein foods.
Delta‐9-THC based monotherapy in fibromyalgia patients on experimentally induced pain, axon reflex flare, and pain relief (2006)

This pilot study demonstrated that a generalized statement that delta-9-THC is an analgetic drug cannot be made. However, a sub-population of FM patients reported significant benefit from the delta-9-THC monotherapy. The unaffected electrically induced axon reflex flare, but decreased pain perception, suggests a central mode of action of the cannabinoid.
Transvenous Parasympathetic Cardiac Nerve Stimulation: (1999)

IPS results in a significant supraventricular rate slowing that is stable over a relatively long period and may be applied to slow undesirable sinus tachycardia in acute ischemic syndromes or to counteract undesirable chronotropic effects of catecholamines during treatment of cardiogenic or septic shock and acute congestive heart failure.
Immunocapture Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Assessment of I n V itro Potency of Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccines (2010)

Quantification of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or relative in vitro potency in the final vaccines is a prerequisite for hepatitis B vaccine batch release. The commercial kit for automated analysis (AxSYM) is expensive, and an alternative is required for the estimation of HBsAg in hepatitis B vaccines. Mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for HBsAg were developed and characterized. One of the monoclonal antibodies (HBs06) was used in development of an immunocapture ELISA (IC-ELISA) as an unlabeled capture antibody and biotin-labeled detection antibody. The IC-ELISA was standardized and validated using experimental hepatitis B vaccine batches with various HBsAg concentrations per dose and commercial vaccines. The vaccine was treated with an alkaline solubilizer to desorb the HBsAg from Algel-adjuvanted vaccines before testing, and the sensitivity of the test was 5 ng/ml. A good correlation could be observed between the HBsAg estimates derived by both formats, except for the higher HBsAg concentration range, where the IC-ELISA format could estimate closer to the actual values than AxSYM. There was a significant correlation between the estimated relative potencies of the two methods. There was lack of correlation between the in vivo potency and the relative in vitro potency. However, the estimates of IC-ELISA were comparable to the in vivo values when compared with the estimates of AxSYM. The IC-ELISA can therefore be considered to be a reliable test for deriving in vitro relative potency and antigen concentration in vaccine batches for batch control and release.

The Electronic Packaging Handbook (2010)

The packaging of electronic devices and systems represents a significant challenge for product designers and managers. Performance, efficiency, cost considerations, dealing with the newer IC packaging technologies, and EMI/RFI issues all come into play. Thermal considerations at both the device and the systems level are also necessary.The Electronic Packaging Handbook, a new volume in the Electrical Engineering Handbook Series, provides essential factual information on the design, manufacturing, and testing of electronic devices and systems.Co-published with the IEEE, this is an ideal resource for engineers and technicians involved in any aspect of design, production, testing or packaging of electronic products, regardless of whether they are commercial or industrial in nature. Topics addressed include design automation, new IC packaging technologies, materials, testing, and safety.Electronics packaging continues to include expanding and evolving topics and technologies, as the demand for smaller, faster, and lighter products continues without signs of abatement. These demands mean that individuals in each of the specialty areas involved in electronics packaging-such as electronic, mechanical, and thermal designers, and manufacturing and test engineers-are all interdependent on each others knowledge. The Electronic Packaging Handbook elucidates these specialty areas and helps individuals broaden their knowledge base in this ever-growing field.
The 2.6 Angstrom Crystal Structure of a Human A 2A Adenosine Receptor Bound to an Antagonist (2008)

The adenosine class of heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediates the important role of extracellular adenosine in many physiological processes and is antagonized by caffeine. We have determined the crystal structure of the human A2A adenosine receptor, in complex with a high-affinity subtype-selective antagonist, ZM241385, to 2.6 angstrom resolution. Four disulfide bridges in the extracellular domain, combined with a subtle repacking of the transmembrane helices relative to the adrenergic and rhodopsin receptor structures, define a pocket distinct from that of other structurally determined GPCRs. The arrangement allows for the binding of the antagonist in an extended conformation, perpendicular to the membrane plane. The binding site highlights an integral role for the extracellular loops, together with the helical core, in ligand recognition by this class of GPCRs and suggests a role for ZM241385 in restricting the movement of a tryptophan residue important in the activation mechanism of the class A receptors.
Characterization of mouse A33 antigen, a definitive marker for basolateral surfaces of intestinal epithelial cells (2000)

The murine A33 antigen is emerging as a definitive marker of intestinal epithelial cells. Cloning and sequence determination of cDNAs encoding mA33 antigen predict a novel type 1 transmembrane protein of 298 amino acids, comprising an extracellular domain with two immunoglobulin-like domains, a single-span transmembrane domain, and a highly acidic cytoplasmic domain. On the basis of conservation of amino acid sequence and genomic structure, the mA33 antigen is a member of a growing subfamily within the immunoglobulin superfamily, which includes transmembrane proteins CTX/ChT1, CTM/CTH, and CAR. During embryonic development, mA33 antigen expression is first observed in the inner cell mass of blastocysts before implantation. Intestinal expression of mA33 antigen is initiated in the hindgut at E14.5 and increases steadily throughout late embryonic and postnatal life into adulthood. The protein is specifically expressed on the basolateral surfaces of intestinal epithelial cells of all lineages, independent of their position along the rostrocaudal and crypt-villus axes. Thus the mA33 antigen appears to be a novel marker for both proliferating and differentiating intestinal epithelial cells.
Human laminin B2 chain (1988)

The complete amino acid sequence of the human laminin B2 chains has been determined by sequencing of cDNA clones. The six overlapping clones studied cover approximately 7.5 kilobases of which 5312 nucleotides were sequenced from the 5' end. The open reading frame codes for a 33-residue signal peptide and a 1576-residue B2 chain proper, which is 189 residues less than in the highly homologous B1 chain. Computer analysis revealed that the B2 chain consists of distinct domains that contain helical structures, cysteine-rich repeats, and globular regions, as does the B1 chain. However, domain ..cap alpha.. and domain ..beta.. of the B1 chain have no counterpart in B2, and the number of cysteine-rich repeats is 12, or 1 less than in the B1 chain. The degree of homology between the two chains is highest in the cysteine repeat-containing domains III and V where 40% of the residues match. However, in helical domains I/II only 16% of residues match. The results demonstrate that the B1 and B2 chains of laminin are highly homologous proteins that are probably the products of related genes.

Clinical and pathological features of a Parkinsonian syndrome in a family with an Ala53Thr alpha-synuclein mutation. (2001)

We describe an Australian family of Greek origin with a parkinsonian syndrome and an Ala53Thr alpha-synuclein gene mutation. Five of 9 siblings were affected, the average age of onset was 45 years, and the initial symptoms were variable, including resting tremor, bradykinesia, and gait disturbance, as previously described in families with the same point mutation. Affected family members responded well to levodopa, developed progressive cognitive impairment, and had a disease duration of 5 to 16 years. Pathologic features typical of idiopathic Parkinson's disease were found at autopsy. However, there were several additional features not previously reported in families with this gene mutation. These features included severe central hypoventilation, orthostatic hypotension, prominent myoclonus, and urinary incontinence. An abundance of alpha-synuclein-immunoreactive Lewy neurites were found in the brainstem pigmented nuclei, hippocampus, and temporal neocortex. The Lewy neurites were associated with temporal lobe vacuolation. Subcortical basal ganglia cell loss and gliosis were seen. These additional clinical and pathological features suggest that the Ala53Thr alpha-synuclein mutation can produce a more widespread disorder than found in typical idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Comamonas testosteroni BR6020 possesses a single genetic locus for extradiol cleavage of protocatechuate The GenBank accession number for the sequence reported in this paper is AF305325. (2001)

A key intermediate for biodegradation of various distinct aromatic growth substrates in Comamonas testosteroni is protocatechuate (Pca), which is metabolized by the 4,5-extradiol (meta) ring fission pathway. A locus harbouring genes from C. testosteroni BR6020 was cloned, dubbed pmd, which encodes the enzymes that degrade Pca. The identity of pmdAB, encoding respectively the alpha- and beta-subunit of the Pca ring-cleavage enzyme, was confirmed by N-terminal sequencing and molecular mass determination of both subunits from the separated enzyme. Disruption of pmdA resulted in a strain unable to grow on Pca and a variety of aromatic substrates funnelled through this compound (m- and p-hydroxybenzoate, p-sulfobenzoate, phthalate, isophthalate, terephthalate, vanillate, isovanillate and veratrate). Growth on benzoate and o-aminobenzoate (anthranilate) was not affected in this strain, indicating that these substrates are metabolized via a different lower pathway. Tentative functions for the products of other pmd genes were assigned based on sequence identity and/or similarity to proteins from other proteobacteria involved in uptake or metabolism of aromatic compounds. This study provides evidence for a single lower pathway in C. testosteroni for metabolism of Pca, which is generated by different upper pathways acting on a variety of aromatic substrates.

Antibody Conjugates and Therapeutic Strategies (2005)

Immunotherapeutics represent the largest group of molecules currently in development as new drug entities. These versatile molecules are being investigated for the treatment of a range of pathological conditions including cancer, infectious and inflammatory diseases. Antibodies can be used to exert biological effects themselves or as delivery agents of conjugated drug molecules. Site-specific delivery of therapeutic agents has been an ultimate goal of the pharmaceutical industry in order to maximize drug action and minimize side effects. Antibodies have the potential to realize this objective and in this review we will examine some of the main strategies currently being employed for the development of these diverse therapeutic molecules.
Optic disc region of interest localization in fundus image for Glaucoma detection in ARGALI (2010)

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of permanent blindness worldwide. Glaucoma can be diagnosed through measurement of neuro-retinal optic cup-to-disc ratio (CDR). Correctly determining the optic disc region of interest (ROI) will produce a smaller initial image which takes much lesser time taken to process compared to the entire image. The earlier ROI localization in the ARGALI system used a grid based method. The new algorithm adds a preprocessing step before analyzing the image. This step significantly improves the performance of the ROI detection. A batch of 1564 retinal images from the Singapore Eye Research Centre was used to compare the performance of the two methods. From the results, the earlier and new algorithm detects the ROI correctly for 88% and 96% of the images respectively. The results indicate potential applicability of the method for automated and objective mass screening for early detection of glaucoma.
Medical imaging with a microwave tomographic scanner (1990)

A microwave tomographic scanner for biomedical applications is presented. The scanner consists of a 64 element circular array with a useful diameter of 20 cm. Electronically scanning the transmitting and receiving antennas allows multiview measurements with no mechanical movement. Imaging parameters are appropriate for medical use: a spatial resolution of 7 mm and a contrast resolution of 1% for a measurement time of 3 s. Measurements on tissue-simulating phantoms and volunteers, together with numerical simulations, are presented to assess the system for absolute imaging of tissue distribution and for differential imaging of physiological, pathological, and induced changes in tissues.
Fabrication of linear colloidal structures for microfluidic applications (2002)

In this letter, an optical microfabrication and actuation method for the creation of microfluidic structures is described. In this approach, an optical trap is used to position and polymerize colloidal microspheres into linear structures to create particle or cell directing devices within microfluidic channel networks. To demonstrate the utility of these structures, two microscale particulate valves are shown, a passive design that restricts particulate flow in one direction and another design that directs particulate flow to one of two exit channels.
