Early Attachment and the Development of Social Communication: A Neuropsychological Approach.

Social communication forms the foundation of human relationships. Social communication, i.e.

Endothelium, fibrinolysis, cardiac risk factors, and prostaglandins: a unified model of atherogenesis.

A model of atherogenesis is described in which it is proposed that a state of relative impairment of intravascular fibrinolytic function is the primary defect which makes possible both the initiation and the continued progression of arterial plaques. The key mechanism by which impaired fibrinolysis is atherogenic centers on the unique disruptive effect which fibrin has on the contiguous endothelium of the vascular intimal surface. From this perspective, in areas of spontaneous endothelial injury, impaired fibrinolysis maintains and promotes the gradual enlargement of the area of injury by causing persistently increased intimal permeability and by allowing enhanced fibrin and platelet deposition.

Biochemical properties of the ligand-binding 20-kDa subunit of the beta-glucan receptors on human mononuclear phagocytes.

beta-Glucan receptors are present on mammalian leukocytes and initiate phagocytosis of particulate yeast beta-glucans, such as zymosan particles. Human monocytes and U937 cells express two membrane proteins of 180 and 160 kDa, each of which binds particulate yeast glucan through a 20-kDa polypeptide constituent. In this report, the structural composition of the two beta-glucan receptors and the biochemical properties of their polypeptide constituents were examined.

Production and isolation of rabbit anti-idiotypic antibodies directed against the human monocyte receptor for yeast beta-glucans.

beta-Glucan receptors are present on mammalian phagocytic cells and provide an important physiologic mechanism for opsonin-independent clearance of yeasts and fungi. To prepare an immunologic probe to human monocyte beta-glucan receptors, an approach was taken that focused on the ligand specificity of the receptors as expressed by an anti-Id. The algal beta-glucan laminarin was chemically coupled to protein carriers to prepare an immunogenic beta-glucan.
