The erosion behavior of tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) coated and uncoated polymer matrix composites (PMCs) was examined with solid particle impingement using air jets. Erosion tests were conducted with Arizona Road Dust impinging at 20°, 60°, and 90° angles at a velocity of 229 m s–1 at both 294 and 366 K. Noncontact optical profilometry was used to measure the wear volume loss. Results indicate that the WC-Co coating enhanced erosion resistance and reduced erosion wear volume loss by a factor of nearly 2. This should contribute to longer wear lives, reduced related breakdowns, decreased maintenance costs, and increased product reliability. 相似文献

The CC chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein 1beta (MIP-1beta), has been shown to be a chemoattractant preferentially activating CD4(+) CD45RA+ T lymphocytes. Further analysis of chemokine action on lymphocytic cells has shown the potent migration-promoting capacity of MIP-1beta on human thymocytes. The responding cells were the CD4(+) and CD8(+) single-positive (SP), as well as the CD4(+) CD8(+) double-positive (DP) populations, with little if any migratory activity on the double-negative (DN) population. The activation of thymocytes by MIP-1beta appeared to be a direct, receptor-mediated event as evidenced by the rapid mobilization of intracellular calcium, increase in proteins phosphorylated on tyrosine, and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Radioligand binding analyses showed specific and displaceable binding of MIP-1beta to thymocytes with a Kd of approximately 1 nmol/L, a profile that was comparable with MIP-1beta binding to CCR-5-transfected NIH 3T3 cells. In addition, CCR-5 mRNA was detected in total thymocyte populations indicating that activation of thymocytes by MIP-1beta may occur through binding to CCR-5. Further dissection of the subpopulations showed that only the DP and CD8(+) SP populations expressed CCR-5 and expression data on these two populations was confirmed using anti-CCR-5 monoclonal antibody. These data may be suggestive of a role for MIP-1beta in human thymocyte activation, and show a potential route for HIV infectivity in the developing immune system. 相似文献

The identification of naturally processed tumor peptides that can stimulate a tumor-specific, CTL response is crucial to the development of a vaccine-based, immunotherapeutic approach to cancer treatment. One type of cancer in which a tumor-specific, CTL response has been observed is squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. In the system investigated here, the tumor-specific CTLs are HLA-A68.2 restricted. Immunoaffinity chromatography was used to isolate the HLA-A68.2 molecules from the tumor cell line, and peptide was eluted with acid from the HLA-A68.2 molecules and subjected to three rounds of separation by reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). To determine which fractions contained the peptide recognized by the tumor-specific CTLs, an aliquot of each RP-HPLC fraction was added to the autologous, B-lymphoblastoid cell line, and the cells were then tested as targets for tumor-specific CTLs. After the third round of RP-HPLC, mass spectrometry was used to sequence individual peptide candidates, and a peptide with a m/z of 497 was identified as the active peptide. Collision-activated dissociation of m/z 497 allowed identification of the peptide sequence as ETVSEQSNV. With the exception of a single amino acid difference (glutamic acid versus glutamine as the sixth position in the peptide), this peptide is identical to residues 581 to 589 of elongation factor 2. The PCR was used to amplify the elongation factor 2 gene in both the tumor cells and the autologous B cell line, and DNA sequencing of the products revealed the presence of a heterozygous mutation in the tumor cells that accounts for the difference between the two peptide sequences. Although a similar analysis did not reveal the presence of the mutation in three additional lung cell carcinomas, this does not rule out the possibility that a survey of a larger population of tumor cells would reveal the presence of the mutation at a low frequency. These results demonstrate the utility of this approach for identifying tumor-specific antigens that are the targets of a CTL response. 相似文献

Quantification of o-tyrosine, o-nitrotyrosine, and o,o'dityrosine from cat urine samples was achieved by LC/ electrospray ionization-MS/MS (LC/ESI-MS/MS) using an isotope dilution technique in multiple reaction monitoring mode before butylation of o,o'-dityrosine and after butylation of o-tyrosine and o-nitrotyrosine. This novel approach of amino acids butylation enhanced the MS response by a factor of 7-fold for o-tyrosine and 6-fold for o-nitrotyrosine and decreased the overall chemical background noise. Butylation of o,o'-dityrosine resulted in a lower MS response as a result of the formation of both mono- and doubly butylated species. The mean recovery for the oxidized amino acids was estimated at 73 +/- 2%. The limits of quantitation of NO2-Tyr butyl ester, o-Tyr butyl ester, and di-Tyr in cat urine samples were calculated at 14.5, 28.2 and 140.9 nM, respectively. The oxidized amino acids levels in cat urine extracts ranged from 157 to 250 ng/day for o-Tyr and from 3,289 to 11,803 ng/day for di-Tyr. NO2-Tyr was found in only two urine extracts at levels below 58 ng/day. A certain trend of correlation was observed between o,o'-dityrosine and o-tyrosine when comparing these values against their respective creatinine amounts. A comparison of the data gathered from the ThermoFinnigan TSQ 7000 and Micromass Q-TOF instruments revealed several advantages of using the Q-TOF regarding the exact mass measurement, a lower ion suppression effect and the possibility to perform analyses in full scan product ion mode. These results demonstrate that a Q-TOF instrument can be a good alternative to classical triple quadrupole for quantitative purposes on a relatively small linear dynamic range (4 orders of magnitude for the Q-TOF, as compared to 6 for the triple quadrupole). 相似文献

Carbon dioxide (CO2) mixed into water is being explored as a possible management strategy to deter the upstream movements of invasive carps through navigation locks and other migratory pinch-points. This study used two-dimensional acoustic telemetry to assess the effectiveness of dissolved CO2 as a chemosensory deterrent to two carp species in a large U-shaped pond. Free-swimming movements of telemetered bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were documented 24 h before treatment and 24 h during treatments at 60, 121 and 213 mg/L CO2 (mean concentrations in pond water). Several behavioral endpoints were then quantified and compared to evaluate deterrence efficacy. In general, results showed that both carp species responded similarly to CO2 treatments. Carps consistently relocated into areas away from the injection site and made fewer attempts to re-enter CO2 treated areas. On average, CO2 treatments reduced mid-line crosses between untreated and treated sides of the pond by 58% at 121 mg/L CO2 and 78% at 213 mg/L CO2 relative to normal swimming movements recorded before treatment. Fish swim speeds increased significantly when inside the CO2 plume during treatments during 213 mg/L CO2 trials relative to swim speeds outside the plume, possibly indicative of active searching and avoidance responses. Overall, this study found that CO2 altered the behavior of bighead carp and grass carp. Natural resource agencies could consider the CO2 concentrations identified in this study to inform future applications to deter invasive carps from locations where they are at-risk to move upstream. 相似文献

Recent studies have shown the potential of acoustic deterrents against invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). This study examined the phonotaxic response of the bighead carp (H. nobilis) to pure tones (500–2000 Hz) and playbacks of broadband sound from an underwater recording of a 100 hp outboard motor (0.06–10 kHz) in an outdoor concrete pond (10 × 5 × 1.2 m) at the U.S. Geological Survey Upper Midwest Environmental Science Center in La Crosse, WI. The number of consecutive times the fish reacted to sound from alternating locations at each end of the pond was assessed. Bighead carp were relatively indifferent to the pure tones with median consecutive responses ranging from 0 to 2 reactions away from the sound source. However, fish consistently exhibited significantly (P < 0.001) greater negative phonotaxis to the broadband sound (outboard motor recording) with an overall median response of 20 consecutive reactions during the 10 min trials. In over 50% of broadband sound tests, carp were still reacting to the stimulus at the end of the trial, implying that fish were not habituating to the sound. This study suggests that broadband sound may be an effective deterrent to bighead carp and provides a basis for conducting studies with wild fish. 相似文献
