- Momentum distributions and invariant mass spectra from the breakup of He-6 ions with an energy of 240 MeV/u interacting with a carbon target have been studied. The data were used to extract information about the reaction mechanism which is influenced by the structure of He-6. It is found that the dominant reaction mechanism is a two-step process: knock out of one neutron followed by the decay of the He-5 resonance. The shape of the (alpha+n) two-body invariant mass spectrum is interpreted as mainly reflecting the 5He ground state which is a J(pi) = 3/2(-) resonance. However, no evidence for correlations between cu particles and neutrons is observed in the momentum widths of the distributions. It is demonstrated that a combined analysis of the two-body invariant mass spectrum and an appropriate correlation function may be used to determine the properties of the intermediate resonance.

- Peripheral fragmentation of a 240 MeV/nucleon beam of the halo nucleus He-6 incident on carbon target has been studied in a kinematically complete experiment. It is found that one-neutron stripping to the unbound nucleus He-5 is the dominant fragmentation mechanism and that it leads to a spin alignment of He-5 in a plane perpendicular to the He-5 momentum vector. This is expected to be a common feature for all neutron halo nuclei.

- Chromosome XV was one of the last two chromosomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to be discovered(1). It is the third-largest yeast chromosome after chromosomes XII and IV, and is very similar in size to chromosome VII. It alone represents 9% of the yeast genome (8% if ribosomal DNA is included). When systematic sequencing of chromosome XV was started, 93 genes or markers were identified, and most of them were mapped(2). However, very little else was known about chromosome XV which, in contrast to shorter chromosomes, had not been the object of comprehensive genetic or molecular analysis. It was therefore decided to start sequencing chromosome XV only in the third phase of the European Yeast Genome Sequencing Programme, after experience was gained on chromosomes III, XI and II (refs 3-5). The sequence of chromosome XV has been determined from a set of partly overlapping cosmid clones derived from a unique yeast strain, and physically mapped at 3.3-kilobase resolution before sequencing. As well as numerous new open reading frames (ORFs) and genes encoding tRNA or small RNA molecules, the sequence of 1,091,283 base pairs confirms the high proportion of orphan genes and reveals a number of ancestral and successive duplications with other yeast chromosomes.

- We have remeasured the decay of Ar-31 with a setup sensitive to multiparticle decay branches and obtained. a new limit of 1.1 x 10(-3) (99% C.L.) on the beta-delayed three-proton branch between the isobaric analog state in Cl-31 and the ground state of Si-28. This a factor of 17 below the previously reported first observation of beta-delayed three-proton emission in Ar-31. The limit on a possible beta 3p branch to the first excited state in Si-28 is 2.9 x 10(-4). [S0556-2813(99)04404-0].

Lack of local suppression in orally tolerant CD8-deficient mice reveals a critical regulatory role of CD8+ T cells in the normal gut mucosa.

- We found that feeding keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) to CD8-deficient (CD8-/-) mice induced oral tolerance that was comparable in both magnitude and quality to that induced in wild-type (wt) mice. The tolerance was dose dependent, and only higher doses of KLH caused significant reduction in specific Ab and T cell responses. Both Th1 and Th2 CD4+ T cell functions were affected. Feeding KLH together with cholera toxin (CT) adjuvant, however, abrogated the induction of oral tolerance equally well in CD8-/- and wt mice. On the contrary, CT adjuvant was unable to abrogate already established oral tolerance in both CD8-/- and wt mice. Most importantly, whereas Ag feeding induced hyporesponsiveness in systemic as well as in local gut IgA responses in wt mice, a lack of local suppression was evident in orally tolerant CD8-/- mice following oral immunizations. Thus, contrary to the situation in wt mice, Ag feeding induces systemic, but not local, gut IgA hyporesponsiveness in CD8-/- mice, suggesting that CD8+ T cells in the normal gut mucosa exert an important down-regulatory function. In wt mice the local suppression extended to an unrelated Ag, OVA, given together with KLH and CT adjuvant, i.e., bystander suppression. Based on these results we propose that tolerance induced by feeding Ag is highly compartmentalized, requiring CD8+ T cells for local suppression of IgA responses, whereas systemic tolerance may affect CD4+ T cells of both Th1 and Th2 types independently of CD8+ T cells. Finally, the adjuvant effect of CT abrogates induction, but not established, oral tolerance through a mechanism that does not require CD8+ T cells.

The mucosal adjuvant effects of cholera toxin and immune-stimulating complexes differ in their requirement for IL-12, indicating different pathways of action.

- Adjuvants that can improve mucosal vaccine efficacy are much warranted. In this comparative study between cholera toxin (CT) and immune-stimulating complexes (ISCOM) we found that, contrary to CT, ovalbumin (OVA)-ISCOM were poor inducers of mucosal anti-OVA IgA responses, but induced similar or better systemic immunity following oral immunizations. The addition of CT to the oral OVA-ISCOM protocol did not stimulate local anti-OVA IgA immunity, nor did it change the quality or magnitude of the systemic responses. Both vectors recruited strong innate immunity, but only OVA-ISCOM could directly induce IL-12, demonstrable at the protein and mRNA levels. CT had no inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide/IFN-gamma-induced IL-12 mRNA expression or IL-12 production. Furthermore, adjuvanticity of CT was unaffected in IL-12-deficient mice, while OVA-ISCOM showed partly impaired adjuvant effects by the lack of IL-12. CT abrogated the induction of oral tolerance stimulated by antigen feeding in these mice. In addition, CT did not alter TGF-beta levels, suggesting that the immunomodulating effect of CT was independent of IL-12 as well as TGF-beta production. Taken together, these findings indicate that mucosal adjuvanticity of CT and ISCOM are differently dependent on IL-12, suggesting that separate and distinct antigen-processing pathways are involved.
