  • Patent number: 5415874
    Abstract: Lymphocytes of NK phenotype were cultured with stimulator cell lines in the presence of growth factor containing medium. The resulting lines and clones derived from these lines expressed CD16 and/or Leu 19, but lacked detectable CD3 or T cell receptor .gamma./.delta. complexes on the cell surface. In addition to displaying potent cytolytic activity against K562 erythroleukemia cells (a classical NK target), the vast majority of these lines and clones lysed their specific stimulator cell lines to a significantly greater extent than irrelevant cell lines. These results indicate that some CD3- lymphocytes, phenotypically indistinguishable from NK cells, can recognize and lyse allogeneic targets in a specific manner.

  • Patent number: 4234306
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for sensing jaw position and movements and for converting the sensed data to dental articulator settings for simulating said movement are disclosed. Included are a pair of clutches which are fitted to the patient's maxillary and mandibular teeth. The respective clutch plates are removably secured to the housing of a jaw movement recording device and to a movable indicia-bearing arm. At least three indicia are mounted at the inner end of the arm in a manner such that they are viewable from three mutually orthogonal directions. Photoresponsive means are included for sensing and/or recording the indicia during and/or following displacement of the indicia-bearing arm during and/or following condyle movements of the patient's mandible. By this means, information as to the position and skew angle of the indicia in three dimensions is provided.
