OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible role of FCGR2A 519A>G and FCGR3A 559A>C functional polymorphisms in the genetic predisposition to susceptibility to systemic sclerosis (SSc) or clinical phenotype. METHODS: A total of 1566 patients with SSc and 2271 geographically matched controls were included in our study. We analyzed the genotype and allele frequencies of the FCGR2A 519A>G and FCGR3A 559A>
Here we unravel the structural features of human IgM and IgA that govern their interaction with the human Fc alpha/mu receptor (hFc alpha/mu R). Ligand polymerization status was crucial for the interaction, because hFc alpha/mu R binding did not occur with monomeric Ab of either class. hFc alpha/mu R bound IgM with an affinity in the nanomolar range, whereas the affinity for dimeric IgA (dIgA) was
Följderna av narkotikamissbruk kostar samhället stora summor pengar varje år. Att beräkna den exakta storleken på dessa summor är omöjligt, eftersom stora delar av den narkotikarelaterade verksamheten är olaglig. De kostnadsberäkningar man kan göra blir ungefärliga uppskattningar. Ändå är det viktigt att försöka, eftersom den kunskap man har om kostnaderna för narkotikamissbrukets konsekvenser utg
The emergence of the Faster-Than-Nyquist signaling (FTN) technology has im- proved the tight spectrum resources by compressing the transmission interval between adjacent pulses. In a natural environment, data transmission via a wire- less medium and through multi-path, at a high data rate, the leakage of these paths among symbols can cause severe inter-symbol interference (ISI). In order to compen
We consider iterated function systems on the interval with random perturbation. Let Yε be uniformly distributed in [1−ε, 1+ε] and let fi ∈ C 1+α be contractions with fixpoints ai . We consider the iterated function system {Yε fi + ai (1 − Yε )}, where each of the maps is chosen with probability pi . It is shown that the invariant density is in L2 and its L2 norm does not grow faster than 1/√ε as ε
Recent estimates point to dramatic increases in private capital flowing to biodiversity. Examining main sources of this increase — equity investments and debt — this review asks how biodiversity finance is being calculated, and whether private capital flowing to biodiversity action is growing as much as reported. Furthermore, by examining the literature on the standards and metrics, we ask whether
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) induces a receptor on infected cells that is able to bind the Fc part of immunoglobulin G (IgG). We have examined some basic physicochemical and binding properties of the Fc receptor induced on HSV-1 infected green monkey kidney (GMK) cells in its interaction with rabbit IgG. Fixation of HSV-1 infected cells with glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, acetone or ethanol did not i

In light of what have become known as the European migration crisis, this thesis examines the legality of one of EU’s burden-sharing responses to this perceived threat – the EU/Turkey deal on March 18 2016. For many asylum seekers, the dream of a safe haven in the EU goes through Turkey to the Greek islands, leading to a significant rise in the number of would-be asylum seekers in the EU over the
The interaction between living groups A, C and G streptococci and IgG Fc was studied using human IgG, IgG Fc and IgG Fc-intermediate (Fci) fragments, chemically modified human IgG and fragment D of staphylococcal protein A (SPA). Diethylpyrocarbonate modification of His or N-acetylimidazole modification of Tyr of human IgG resulted in the loss of its capacity to inhibit the binding of radiolabelle
Refugee rights are reserved for the few lucky enough to evade the sophisticated deterrence regime, while the vast majority of the world’s refugees are referred to a life in semi-permanent limbo.
Lancefield extracts of 19 types of group A streptococci as well as one group C and one group G strain were examined for agglutination of human red cells coated with various anti-Rh antibodies. Fourteen extracts agglutinated one or more of the coated cell samples, while five did not. The agglutination was inhibited by Fc but not by Fab fragments of human IgG. After mouse passages, three of the non-
In the spring of 2020 an ambitious new strategy, named Farm to Fork, was made public as part of the wider EU Green Deal. The main goal being substantial decrease in the use of both synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Despite the negative consequences of large scale industrial pesticide use, the agricultural industry within the European Union has a lot to lose in a potential legislation to limit

A shift in new venture creation can be observed from purely profit-oriented models to alternatives attempting to also answer social and environmental needs. Because of their nature, these alternatives face issues regarding their integration in traditional financial and business spheres. Shared Value Creation is a framework that attempts to analyse these ventures and those challenges. Blockchain te
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether a non-linear blood ΔR(2)*-versus-concentration relationship improves quantitative cerebral blood flow (CBF) estimates obtained by dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI in a comparison with Xe-133 SPECT CBF in healthy volunteers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Linear as well as non-linear relationships between ΔR(2)* and contrast agent concentration in blood were applied to
