Nonspecific Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity in the Cat
Using a chromium-51-release microcytotoxicity assay, naturally occurring cytotoxic cells were demonstrated in peripheral blood and spleens of domestic cats. Lymphocytes from blood and spleen were purified over Ficoll-Hypaque and added to uninfected, vaccinia-infected, or herpes-infected adherent …

Exploring the role of late-occurring nonspecific retroactive interference and interest on recall
Any form of post-encoding distraction, known as Nonspecific Retroactive Interference (NRI), may cause forgetting (Keppel, 1968; Wixted, 2004). However, recent experiments have not always found evidence for NRI and its effect may be very mild. NRI was tested across five experiments which aimed to …

Intracellular Calcium and Protein Kinase C Regulate Nonspecific Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity by Mouse Lymphocytes (Calmodulin)
… ionophore A23187 caused a marked increase in nonspecific cytotoxicity by mouse spleen lymphocytes against SV3T3 target cells. Using a standard ('51)Cr-release assay, little target cell death was seen prior to 16 hours of effector-target incubation. The kinetics of the ('51)Cr-release were not …

Evaluation of different in vitro surrogates to represent nonspecific binding for tissue: plasma water partition coefficient predictions
With the growing use of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to predict the pharmacokinetics of a drug, accurate prediction of the tissue: plasma water partition coefficients (Kp,m) has become increasingly important. In these predictions, drug-lipid interactions have been …

The Mechanism of Action of Exogenous PGF2alpha in Clearance of Nonspecific Uterine Infections in Sheep and Pigs
Six experiments were conducted to determine the mechanism of action of exogenous PGF2alpha on the clearance of uterine infections in sheep and pigs. The first two experiments were designed to characterize the uterine immune response to bacterial infection under progesterone dominance in pigs. The …

An In Vivo Perfusion Apparatus for Studies on Gingival Disease : Assessment by a Perfusion of Nonspecific Proteolytic Enzymes
<p>This thesis describes an in vivo perfusion apparatus which can continuously deliver controlled quantities of solutions to localized, contralateral intra oral areas in albino rats. Three animals were per fused on the experimental area (the mesial sulcular area of the maxillary first molar) on one …

Understanding the nervous system as an information processing machine: dense, nonspecific, canonical microcircuit architecture of inhibition in neocortex . . .
This thesis is the combination of two separate lines of work linked by one common goal: understanding the nervous system as an information-processing machine. David Marr (1982) put forth the idea that in order to fully understand an information-processing machine one must understand it at three …

The Structural Characterization and Bioactivity Assessment of Nonspecific Lipid Transfer Protein 1 (nsLTP1) from Caraway (Carum Carvi) Seeds
… potential pharmacological properties, including nonspecific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP), necessitating further research. The current study aimed to characterize nonspecific lipid transfer protein 1 (nsLTP1) from caraway seed, determine its three-dimensional structure, and analyze …

Cooperative Assembly of Terminase and Integration Host Factor at the Packaging Initiation Site of Bacteriophage Lambda
… the cos site into individual specific and nonspecific IHF binding sequences, and analyzed the relevant protein affinities for these subsites as well as for (1) the full-length cos site and (2) a random nonspecific (NS) sequence of equivalent length. Analytical ultracentrifugation and …

Towards a carbon nanotube antibody sensor
… were used as polymers for wrapping SWNT. Nonspecific binding to solution-phase constructs was found to be a major problem with these approaches. Chitosan hydrogels encapsulating SWNT also show nonspecific responses.

Controlling the assembly of proteins and cells on SiO₂ surfaces
… such devices is "biofouling," resulting from the nonspecific adsorption of proteins, cells, and other agents onto their surfaces. The ability to produce surfaces with specifically immobilized biological species that can avoid the nonspecific adsorption of other species has been essential for …
