Phenotyping of 60 cultured human gliomas and 34 other neuroectodermal tumors by means of monoclonal antibodies against glioma, melanoma and HLA-DR antigens.

The reactivity spectrum of three monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to human malignant glioma, five Mabs to melanomas and one Mab anti-HLA-DR was investigated by an indirect antibody binding radioimmunoassay on a panel of cells derived from 60 glioma lines, including 47 malignant astrocytomas, 11 low-grade astrocytomas and two malignant ependymomas as well on cells from 12 melanoma, three neuroblastoma, three medulloblastoma, two schwannoma, two retinoblastoma, two choroïd plexus papilloma, ten meningioma and 12 unrelated tumor lines. The anti-glioma Mabs BF7 and GE2 reacted preferentially with gliomas, while the anti-glioma Mab CG12 reacted with gliomas, melanomas, neuroblastomas and medulloblastomas. The five anti-melanoma Mabs reacted with gliomas, neuroblastomas and medulloblastomas. The anti-HLA-DR Mab D1-12 reacted with gliomas, melanomas and some meningiomas. On the basis of the data presented, we describe three different antigenic systems; the first one is glioma-associated, the second one is related to differentiation antigens expressed on cells derived from the neuroectoderm and the third is represented by HLA-DR antigens which are expressed not only on B-lymphoblastoid cells but also on melanomas and gliomas.

Iowa Surveillance of Notifiable and Other Diseases Annual Report, 2006

Promoting and protecting the health of Iowans is the mission of the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH). Surveillance of notifiable health conditions is essential in establishing what, how, and when events impact the public’s health. Multiple divisions and bureaus are dedicated to accomplishing the goals of surveillance. In 2012, in addition to 850 cases reported with no lab results, there were more than 79,000 laboratory results of infectious diseases and conditions submitted to IDPH disease surveillance programs. IDPH also investigates non-infectious conditions related to lead, occupational, and environmental hazards like carbon monoxide. Approximately 100,000 blood lead test results were reported to IDPH in 2012.

Influence of micronutrients on dry matter yield and interaction with other nutrients in annual crops

The objective of this work was to determine the influence of Zn, Mn and Cu on shoot dry matter yield and uptake of macro and micronutrients in upland rice, common bean and corn. Six greenhouse experiments were conducted using a Dark Red Latosol (Typic Haplusthox). Treatments consisted of application of Zn at 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 120 mg kg-1, of Mn at 0, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 and 640 mg kg-1 and of Cu application at 0, 2, 4, 8, 32, 64 and 96 mg kg-1. Zinc increased yield of rice, Mn increased yields of corn and bean and Cu improved yields of rice and bean. Uptake of N, Ca, and Cu in rice was decreased by zinc treatment. In common bean, uptake of N, Mg, and Cu was increased by zinc application, whereas, uptake of P was decreased. Manganese increased uptake of Mg, Zn and Fe and decreased uptake of Ca, in corn. Uptake of K, Zn and Mn was increased and uptake of P and Cu was decreased by Mn application, in bean. Copper had positive and negative interactions in the uptake of macro and micronutrients, depending on crop species and nutrients involved.
