and human capital externalities. Because of such externalities, education investment is too low and fertility is too high. While education subsidies are the conventional means to deal with these problems, we show that the optimal policy also comprises debt even when distortionary taxes are used. The reason is that debt tips the usual trade-off between children's quantity and quality in favor of the latter by increasing the bequest cost of children. The optimal debt-output ratio exceeds 10% for plausible parameterization. (C) 2002 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The in vitro growth of erythroid colonies in the absence of erythropoietin, known as endogenous erythroid colonies (EEC) forms part of the diagnostic criteria for polycythaemia vera (PV). The availability of EEC culture in routine laboratory setting is limited as culture methods are technically demanding, difficult to standardize, expensive and laborious. In this study, we assessed the performance characteristics of a simplified method using ammonium chloride red cell lysis followed by culture on commercially available, batch-tested, methylcellulose media. Seventy-six patients were included; four were secondarily excluded on the basis of culture failure. Of the 14 patients with PV, 13 (93%) were positive for EEC on at least one occasion: 90% (nine of 10) of bone marrow and 67% (six of nine) of peripheral blood specimens were positive. All 30 patients with secondary polycythaemia (n = 12) or apparent polycythaemia (n = 18) were negative for EEC. The incidence of EEC in idiopathic erythrocytosis was 40% (eight of 28); 50% (five of 10) in those who met one of the minor criteria for PV and 17% (three of 18) in those who did not. We conclude that our EEC assay yield results comparable with that of more elaborate methods.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded nuclear antigen (EBNA)1 is thought to escape cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) recognition through either self-inhibition of synthesis or by blockade of proteasomal degradation by the glycine-alanine repeat (GAr) domain. Here we show that EBNA1 has a remarkably varied cell type-dependent stability. However, these different degradation rates do not correspond to the level of major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted presentation of EBNA1 epitopes. In spite of the highly stable expression of EBNA1 in B cells, CTL epitopes derived from this protein are efficiently processed and presented to CD8(+) T cells. Furthermore, we show that EBV-infected B cells can readily activate EBNA1-specific memory T cell responses from healthy virus carriers. Functional assays revealed that processing of these EBNA1 epitopes is proteasome and transporter associated with antigen processing dependent. We also show that the endogenous presentation of these epitopes is dependent on the newly synthesized protein rather than the long-lived stable EBNA1. Based on these observations, we propose that defective ribosomal products, not the full-length antigen, are the primary source of endogenously processed CD8(+) T cell epitopes front EBNA1.
