13. Antibody responses to the capsular polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B in patients with meningococcal disease.
We measured antibody responses to meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) polysaccharide (PS) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in sera from 94 patients from The Netherlands with disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis group B. The patients ranged in age from 3 to 73 years (mean age, 18.8 years). In initial studies we showed that the binding of a panel

14. Computational models of cortical visual processing.
The visual responses of neurons in the cerebral cortex were first adequately characterized in the 1960s by D. H. Hubel and T. N. Wiesel [(1962) J. Physiol. (London) 160, 106-154; (1968) J. Physiol. (London) 195, 215-243] using qualitative analyses based on simple geometric visual targets. Over the past 30 years, it has become common to consider the propertie

15. The crystal structure of a mutant protein with altered but improved hydrophobic core packing.
The dense packing observed in protein interiors appears to be crucial for stabilizing the native structure--even subtle internal substitutions are usually destabilizing. Thus, steric complementarity of core residues is thought to be an important criterion for "inverse folding" predictive methods, which judge whether a newly determined sequence is consistent

16. Specificity of the Antibody Response to the Pneumococcal Polysaccharide and Conjugate Vaccines in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Adults
Nonspecific antibodies, which are thought to be nonprotective, have been shown to contribute a substantial proportion of the measured concentration in the standardized immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for pneumococcal polysaccharide capsular antibodies. The presence of such antibodies in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infe

17. Effect on histamine responsiveness of reducing airway dimensions by altering posture.
Baseline airway geometry is thought to be an important determinant of the airway response to challenge; this geometry is altered by changing posture. The effect of changes in posture on airway calibre, midtidal lung volume, and the airway response to inhaled histamine was studied in eight healthy subjects (four female; mean (SD) age 29.8 (5.1) years, FEV1 3.

18. Bronchial responsiveness and acute bronchodilator response in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diffuse panbronchiolitis.
BACKGROUND--Diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) is characterised clinically by chronic airflow limitation and respiratory tract infection, and pathologically by chronic bronchiolar inflammation. To elucidate the functional differences between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and DPB the bronchial responsiveness to methacholine was compared in 64 patie
