- Embryonic ventral mesencephalic tissue from the pig is a potential alternative donor tissue for neural transplantation to Parkinson's disease patients. For stable graft survival, the host immune response has to be prevented. This study was performed in order to analyze the mechanisms and dynamics of neural xenograft rejection, as well as neurobiological properties of the donor tissue. Adult normal mice and rats, and cyclosporin A-treated rats, received intrastriatal transplants of dissociated embryonic ventral mesencephalic pig tissue that was 27 or 29 embryonic days of age (E27 and E29). The animals were perfused at 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks after grafting and the brains were processed for immunohistochemistry of dopaminergic (tyrosine hydroxylase positive) neurons, CD4(+) and CD8(+) lymphocytes, natural killer cells, macrophages, microglia, and astrocytes. Thirty-five rats received daily injections of BrdU for 5 consecutive days at different time points after transplantation and were perfused at 6 weeks. These animals were analyzed for proliferation of cells in the donor tissue, both in healthy and in rejecting grafts. No tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cells proliferated after grafting. Our results demonstrated that E27 was superior to E29 donor tissue for neurobiological reasons. Cyclosporin A immunosuppression was protective only during the first weeks and failed to protect the grafts in a long-term perspective. Grafts in mice were invariably rejected between 2 and 4 weeks after transplantation, while occasional grafts in untreated rats survived up to 12 weeks without signs of an ongoing rejection process. CD8(+) lymphocytes and microglia cells are most likely important effector cells in the late, cyclosporin A-resistant rejection process.

- An entirely new type of blood gas analyser has made its way into the marketplace, to be used, for example, in emergency rooms, intensive care units, ambulances, and bedside with quarantined patients in infectious diseases units. The instruments reviewed here employ new miniaturised analysis circuitry, integrated into the cassette on which the blood sample is applied. These instruments are designed for use by care-givers without specific laboratory training. Four point-of-care blood gas analysers are tested: OPTI 1 (AVL), I-STAT (HP), IRMA (Infiniti) och ABL 70 (Radiometer).

- We constructed a single-chain Fv antibody library that permits human complementarity-determining region (CDR) gene fragments of any germline to be incorporated combinatorially into the appropriate positions of the variable-region frameworks VH-DP47 and VL-DPL3. A library of 2 x 109 independent transformants was screened against haptens, peptides, carbohydrates, and proteins, and the selected antibody fragments exhibited dissociation constants in the subnanomolar range. The antibody genes in this library were built on a single master framework into which diverse CDRs were allowed to recombine. These CDRs were sampled from in vivo-processed gene sequences, thus potentially optimizing the levels of correctly folded and functional molecules, and resulting in a molecule exhibiting a lower computed immunogenicity compared to naive immunoglobulins. Using the modularized assembly process to incorporate foreign sequences into an immunoglobulin scaffold, it is possible to vary as many as six CDRs at the same time, creating genetic and funcfional variation in antibody molecules.

- Carbon monoxide abundances in the atmosphere have been measured between January 1996 and December 2001 in the high Northern Hemisphere (HNH) (30degrees-90degreesN) using two different approaches: total column amounts of CO retrieved from infrared solar spectra and CO mixing ratios measured in situ at ground-based stations. The data were averaged, and anomalies of the CO HNH burden ( deviations of the total tropospheric mass between 30degreesN and 90degreesN from the mean seasonal profile, determined as the 5 year average) were analyzed. The anomalies obtained from in situ and total column data agree well and both show two maxima, by far the largest in October 1998 and a lower one in August 1996. A noticeable decrease of the positive 1998 summer anomaly with increasing height was found. A box model was applied, and anomalies in source rates were obtained under the assumption of insignificant interannual sink variations. In August 1998 the HNH emission anomaly was estimated to be 38 Tg month(-1). The annual 1998 emission positive anomaly was 96 Tg yr(-1). Nearly all excess CO may be attributed to the emissions from boreal forest fires. According to available inventories, biomass burning emits around 52 Tg yr(-1) during the "normal'' years; therefore total biomass emissions in 1998 were as large as 148 Tg yr(-1). In August 1998, CO contribution from the biomass burning was twice as large as that from fossil fuel combustion. The results were compared to available emission inventories.
