Certain monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to type II collagen (CII) induce arthritis in vivo after passive transfer and have adverse effects on chondrocyte cultures and inhibit self assembly of collagen fibrils in vitro. We have examined whether such mAbs have detrimental effects on pre-existing cartilage. Bovine cartilage explants were cultured over 21 days in the presence of two arthritogenic mAbs to
A comparative in vitro survey of physiologically relevant human and microbial proteinases defined a number of enzymes that induced specific hinge domain cleavage in human IgG1. Several of these proteinases have been associated with tumor growth, inflammation, and infection. A majority of the identified proteinases converted IgG to F(ab')(2), and a consistent feature of their action was a transient
Radiocarbon analysis of the carbonaceous aerosol allows an apportionment of fossil and non-fossil sources of airborne particulate matter (PM). A chemical separation of total carbon (TC) into its subfractions organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) refines this powerful technique, as OC and EC originate from different sources and undergo different processes in the atmosphere. Although C-14 an
Background: Malaria kills almost 1 million people every year, but the mechanisms behind protective immunity against the disease are still largely unknown. Methodology/Principal Findings: In this study, surface plasmon resonance technology was used to evaluate the affinity (measured as kd) of naturally acquired antibodies to the Plasmodium falciparum antigens MSP2 and AMA1. Antibodies in serum samp
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide an understanding of how consumer-brand relationships are affected by a radical rebranding strategy of a football club’s logo. This further leads the paper to contribute to the literature of consumer-brand relationships in the special context of football. Methodology: The interpretative nature of this research calls for a qualitative research appro
INTRODUCTION: Synaptic dysfunction and loss are pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. Neuronal pentraxin 2 (NPTX2), a presynaptic protein involved in synaptic plasticity, has been linked to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. METHODS: We developed and validated a novel single molecule array (Simoa) for NPTX2 in cerebrospinal fluid, w
Sagem Défense et Sécurité (now Safran Electronics & Defense), a French space and defense company of the SAFRAN group, is working on the next generation of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). This UAS features a fully automatic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation system. This navigation system relies mainly on a high-accuracy Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) coupl
A series of homoleptic bis(tridentate) [Ru-(L)(2)](2+) (1, 3) and heteroleptic [Ru(L)(dqp)](2+) complexes (2, 4) [L = dqxp (1, 2) or dNinp (3, 4); dqxp = 2,6-di(quinoxalin-5-yl)pyridine, dNinp = 2,6-di(N-7-azaindol-1-yl)pyridine, dqp = 2,6-di(quinolin-8-yl)pyridine) was prepared and in the case of 2 and 4 structurally characterized. The presence of dqxp and dNinp in 1-4 result in anodically shifte
Security for outsourced control applications can be provided if the physical plant is enabled with a mechanism to verify the control signal received from the cloud. Recent developments in modern cryptography claim the applicability of verifiable computation techniques. Such techniques allow a client to check the correctness of a remote execution. This article delivers a proof of concept for applic
KURSUTBUD VID EKONOMISK-HISTORISKA INSTITUTIONEN Vi erbjuder ett stort antal kurser inom vårt ämnesområde som ger oumbärliga och breda kunskaper om ekonomi, samhälle och historia, men som även underlättar förståelsen av många andra ämnen, t ex nationalekonomi, sociologi, statsvetenskap. När du börjar studera på universitetet läser du kurser på grundnivå. Kurser på grundnivå kan finnas i två nivåer
Dysfunction in various parts of immune defence, such as immune response, immune complex clearance, and inflammation, has an impact on pathogenesis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We hypothesised that combinations of common variants of genes involved in these immune functions are associated with susceptibility to SLE. The following variants were analysed: HLA DR3, HLA DQ2, C4AQ0, Fcgamma rec

Armlängdsprincipen kan betraktas som en av de mest centrala principerna inom den internationella beskattningsrätten. I OECD:s modellavtal, som ligger till grund för utformningen av bilaterala dubbelbeskattningsavtal, stadgas armlängdsprincipen i artikel 9, den regel som tillåter korrigering av ett företags vinst när interna transaktioner prissatts på ett sätt som inte är armlängdsmässigt. SamtidigThe ALP can be considered one of the most significant principles within international taxation law. It is regulated under article 9 of the OECD MTC, which acts as a model for developing new bilateral tax treaties. According to article 9, the profit of an enterprise may be adjusted if the enterprise has been involved in transactions with an associated enterprise on conditions that are not of an arm

Protein MIG, from Streptococcus dysgalactiae, binds alpha2-macroglobulin and immunoglobulin G (IgG). MIG-derived fusion proteins with one to five IgG-binding repeats differed up to 72,000- fold in avidity for goat IgG, indicating a considerable cooperativity of the repeats. Significant sequence variation in the IgG-binding repeats was recognized. Protein MIG interacted with goat IgG1 via both the
