Although inactivated hepatitis A vaccine is known to be well tolerated and immunogenic in healthy children adults, its efficacy has yet established.
Four thousand forty-two healthy children and adolescents, ages 12 months to 17 years, were vaccinated with a single dose of live attenuated varicella vaccine (VARIVAX®; Merck Sharp Dohme Research Laboratories) containing ∼1000 1625 plaque-forming units/dose during clinical trials conducted from 1987 1989. Clinical follow-up vaccinees revealed that 2.1 2.4% developed modified cases in the first second respectively, after vaccination. Most those who postvaccination had an illness,...
A specific immune adherence (IA) test for hepatitis antibody in human serum was described employing liver extract of marmosets infected with CR326 strain virus. Persons A, but not B, developed IA soon after onset the acute illness and this persisted thereafter. There very close agreement tests adherence, complement fixing (CF) neutralizing antibodies. antibodies appeared to develop somewhat later than CF or antibody. limited epidemiologic study a family outbreak B Costa Rica showed...
CR326 human hepatitis A virus purified by isopycnic banding from infected marmoset sera was shown to consist of 27 nm spherical particles on electron microscopic examination. The were identified as tests for infectivity and specific neutralization with convalescent serum. Also, indentical viruses in liver extracts gave reactions antisera when tested immune microscopy. bouyant density the CsCl 1.34 it heat (60 degrees), ether acid stable but destroyed (100 formalin (1:4000) ultraviolet...

Abstract The development of an ELISA increased sensitivity has permitted a more critical evaluation human humoral immune responses to the live attenuated varicella (Oka/Merck) vaccine. For use as solid‐phase antigen, glycoprotein (gp) antigens are prepared by lectin‐affinity chromatography from lysates VZV‐infected MRC‐5 cells. lot‐to‐lot variation in VZV gp content is controlled standardization antigen against panel serum providing antigencoated plates consistent quality. gpELISA over VAR...
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) strain CR326, adapted to grow in LLC-MK2 cells, was highly purified, inactivated with formalin, adsorbed alum, and tested for capacity induce antibody HAV both mice marmosets. The minimum dose of antigen necessary produce 50% 10 ng. As little as three doses 1 ng each produced Further, all marmosets any detectable HAV, a result vaccination, were protected against virulent infection on challenge HAV. Thus efficacious, hepatitis vaccine can be from grown cell culture....
Abstract This article explores whether Europeans distrust the European Central Bank (ECB) because they dislike its policies or think cannot control institution. Distrust of ECB is a function individuals believing bank be counted on to fulfill duties that have assigned it.
Application of several different experimental techniques (flame-ion mass spectrometry, microwave cavity resonance, electrostatic probe, and absorption spectrophotometry) reveals that addition tungsten to fuel-rich atmospheric-pressure H2/O2/N2 flames seeded with potassium results in reductions concentrations free atoms formation stable W-containing negative ions. The following reaction scheme enthalpy changes provide a satisfactory quantitative interpretation the results: K+H2WO4⇆KHWO4+H;...

Van gold hexadecane separated SAMs evaluated using Lifshitz theory found to quantitatively describe measured decrease in (CH3(CH2)mSH, 2 < m 17) decreasing length. is also used predict an increase drops perfluorononane placed under length; our experimental measurements confirm...
In an effort to prepare pneumococcal (Pn) capsular polysaccharide (Ps) vaccines that would be immunogenic in infants, covalent conjugates were prepared for Pn types 6B, 14, 19F, and 23F. Each Ps type was covalently bound outer membrane protein complex from Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B evaluated immunogenicity mice infant monkeys. The induced specific anti-Ps antibody responses rhesus African green monkeys; a conjugate of 6B at doses as low 20 ng. Although levels the group-common cell...
Abstract Scholastic research has demonstrated that when conducted properly, active learning exercises are successful at increasing student awareness, interest, and knowledge retention. Face-to-face simulations, in particular, have been to add positively classrooms focusing on comparative politics, international relations, public administration, the lawmaking process, political campaigns. While important regards engaging students practice of such hands-on, opportunities even more an applied...
Chemiluminescent reactions in diffusion flames of alkali metals with haloforms and carbon tetrahalides appear to provide examples which essentially all the exothermicity appears as vibration a newly formed bond. A self-consistent account intensity distributions flame spectra requires that, CX4—K flames, both excited unexcited atoms participate reactions, C+CX→C2*+X, that X be produced ground first states.

For campaign consultants, the success of Obama and his utilization new media technology have posed conundrums. Candidates witnessed hype generated by Obama's techniques likely heard lower cost in some cases. As such, candidates asked consultants to move toward media-based campaigns—in many cases an implausible request. This article examines two main questions: (1) whether must choose between a tech savvy, youth-oriented strategy more traditional one (2) what factors dictate this choice....
A handheld refractometer (HHR) is a versatile instrument in the chemistry lab or workplace. It also inexpensive enough (<$25 U.S.) that all students can have one completing laboratories remotely purchase one. We report four applications of two different HHRs: HHR for which scale reads directly refractive index from 1.333 to 1.360 and 0 80 °Brix corresponding indices 1.491. The involve linear relationships between solution concentration sucrose solutions coffee as well nonideal behavior...
Although legalized gambling, and in particular casino has become an increasingly important American leisure activity, it not escaped extensive controversy. Among the many evils forecast for communities that open casinos is a major increase street crime. This article will review what we know about relationship between crime gambling.
