Monoclonal antibody C38 recognizes retinal ganglion cells in cats and rats
We developed monoclonal antibody C38 which specifically recognizes retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in flatmount preparations of cat and rat retinas. We first induced immunological tolerance in Balb/c mice against axotomized rat retinas which lack most of the RGCs.

Normal CFTR inhibits epidermal growth factor receptor-dependent pro-inflammatory chemokine production in human airway epithelial cells. [PDF]
Mutations in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein cause cystic fibrosis, a disease characterized by exaggerated airway epithelial production of the neutrophil chemokine interleukin (IL)-8, which results in exuberant ...

Composition of chloroform extractable surface wax from fruit was determined by GC and GC/MS. The major components of Saskatoon berry wax were nonacosan‐10‐ol and nonacosane. Canadian sour cherry wax was enriched in the pentacyclic triterpenoids and haskap in nonacosan‐10‐ol and nonacosan‐5,10,‐diol. Red twinberry wax contained triterpenoids.
