Abstract: A system includes a display device, one or more processors, and one or more computer-readable storage media communicably connected to the one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon that cause the one or more processors to: display a question on the display device, the question corresponding to a first category from among a plurality of categories; receive an input in response to the question from an input device associated with the display device; analyze the input to determine a quantifiable outcome based on the input; calculate a probabilistic value for the first category based on the quantifiable outcome; select a subsequent question based on the probabilistic value; and display the subsequent question on the display device.

Abstract: A process for producing an insulin-producing conditionally transformed pancreatic cell line is provided. The process of the present invention comprises the steps of preparing and culturing a population of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, preparing and culturing a suitable strain of Rous sarcoma virus containing a temperature sensitive lesion in the viral transforming or sarc gene, and infecting the insulin-producing pancreatic cells with the temperature sensitive virus. The infected pancreatic cells are conditionally transformed by the temperature-sensitive virus to provide an insulin-producing system especially suited for both in vitro and in vivo application. Methods for evaluating the safety of the system for application in vivo are also disclosed.
