These antibody titers were determined by reaction with homozygous Af red cells.

One drop of each sample was added to one drop of a 2% suspension of group Af or group B red cells in a small Af test tube.

The red cells were used within 2 days after donation and were washed with large amounts of saline before use.

Some of the sinusoids contained large numbers of nucleated red cells, and cells of the granulocytic series were found in small numbers.

For example the standard glutamic acid ( glutamate ) and the non-standard gamma-amino acid gamma-amino-butyric acid ( GABA ) are respectively the brain's main excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, hydroxyproline-a major component of the connective tissue collagen-is synthesised from proline, the standard amino acid glycine is used to synthesise porphyrins used in red blood cells, and the non-standard carnitine is used in lipid transport.

However, upon immunization with SRBC ( sheep red blood cells ), these mice demonstrated a deficiency in the maturation of an antibody response ; they were able to generate normal levels of IgM, but could not develop specific IgG levels.

The blood cells are mainly red blood cells ( also called RBCs or erythrocytes ) and white blood cells, including leukocytes and platelets.

The most abundant cells in vertebrate blood are red blood cells.

* Supply of oxygen to tissues ( bound to hemoglobin, which is carried in red cells )

The average adult has a blood volume of roughly 5 liters ( 1. 3 gal ), composed of plasma and several kinds of cells ( occasionally called corpuscles ); these formed elements of the blood are erythrocytes ( red blood cells, RBCs ), leukocytes ( white blood cells ), and thrombocytes ( platelets ).

By volume, the red blood cells constitute about 45 % of whole blood, the plasma about 54. 3 %, and white cells about 0. 7 %.

Mature red blood cells lack a nucleus and organelles in mammals.

The red blood cells ( together with endothelial vessel cells and other cells ) are also marked by glycoproteins that define the different blood types.

The proportion of blood occupied by red blood cells is referred to as the hematocrit, and is normally about 45 %.

`` Finally, all I needed was to throw a little piece of red wood that looked like a firecracker and that dumb dog would run ki-yi-ing for his life ''.

I asked Quasimodo recently how he accomplished this, and he replied that he had painted his model `` a beautiful shade of red and then had her breathe on the canvas '', which was his typical tongue-in-cheek way of chiding me for my lack of sensitivity.

Now the thing for us to do is to find ourselves a couple of those wonderful flowering currants such as the red Ribes sanguineum of our Pacific Northwest, or otherwise a good sloe tree, or perhaps some nice pussy willow in bloom, preferably one with male or staminate catkins.

But neither was the statement empirical, for goodness was not a quality like red or squeaky that could be seen or heard.

Nosebleed could be stopped by wrapping a red woolen string about the patient's neck and tying it in a knot for each year of his life.

By tradition, a red wine should be served at approximately room temperature -- if anything a little cooler -- and be aged enough for the tannin and acids to have worked out and the sediment have settled well.

Many people use wicker cradles for old red wine, lifting the bottle carefully from the bin into the cradle and eventually to the table, without disturbing the sediment.

Another school frowns on such a shortcut, and insists that after leaving the bin an old red wine should first stand on end for several days to allow the sediment to roll to the very bottom, after which the bottle may be gently eased to a tilted position on its side in the cradle.

If a red Bordeaux of a good name and year is bitter or acid, or cloying and muddy-tasting, leave it alone for a while.

A new red carpet had been laid for their coming, but I walked on it, too.

And it makes a very poor red herring for an inside job.

Reaching for an old clay pot, relic of pioneer days, he tore the envelope in pieces, dropping them into it, touching the little pyre to flame, watching it curl, the red sealing wax melting and bubbling in the feathery ash.

The Ancient Greek word for seaweed was φῦκος ( fūkos or phykos ), which could mean either the seaweed ( probably red algae ) or a red dye derived from it.

It is in fact a private memento, and for this reason it is never awarded to either England or Australia, but is kept permanently in the MCC Cricket Museum where it can be seen together with the specially made red and gold velvet bag and the scorecard of the 1882 match.

Algebraic numbers coloured by leading coefficient ( red signifies 1 for an algebraic integer ).

On March 30, 2010, a spokesman for the Egyptian Culture Ministry claimed it had unearthed a large red granite door in Luxor with inscriptions by User, a powerful adviser to the 18th dynasty Queen Hatshepsut who ruled between 1479 BC and 1458 BC, the longest of any woman.

Competing machines such as the Altair 8800 generally were programmed with front-mounted toggle switches and used indicator lights ( red LEDs, most commonly ) for output, and had to be extended with separate hardware to allow connection to a computer terminal or a teletypewriter machine.

Collectors look for depth of color, possibly with red flashes if cut conventionally.

Both the Latin and the Germanic words derive from the Proto-Indo-European root el -, meaning " red " or " brown ", which is also a root for the English words " elk " and another tree: " elm ", a tree distantly related to the alders.

It is recommended by some doctors for people having low red blood cell count.

This is also the case with the words for carrot ( luo buo or lo bac ) or ( hong luo buo hong meaning red ) and onion ( cong ).

* All donated blood is also tested for ABO and Rh groups, along with the presence of any red blood cell antibodies.

If the mother is Rh negative and the baby is Rh positive, the mother produces antibodies ( including IgG ) against the Rhesus D antigen on her baby's red blood cells.

During this and subsequent pregnancies the IgG is able to pass through the placenta into the fetus and if the level of it is sufficient, it will cause destruction of Rhesus D positive fetal red blood cells leading to the development of Rh disease.

Nuclei are stained blue with DAPI, microtubles are marked green by an antibody and actin filaments are labelled red with phalloidin.

An antibody panel consists of commercially prepared group O red cell suspensions from donors that have been phenotyped for commonly encountered and clinically significant alloantibodies.

Once the patient has developed a clinically significant antibody it is vital that the patient receive antigen negative phenotyped red blood cells to prevent future transfusion reactions.

In the past, the most common test for diagnosing infectious mononucleosis was the heterophile antibody test, which involves testing heterophile antibodies by agglutination of guinea pig, sheep and horse red blood cells.

It led him to propose that the disease might be prevented by injecting the at-risk mother with an antibody against fetal red blood cells.

The dose is 20 µG of antibody for 1mL of Rh-positive red cells.

* Immunoglobulin M, the primary antibody against A and B antigens on red blood cells

Nuclei are stained blue with DAPI, microtubules are marked green by an antibody bound to FITC and actin filaments are labeled red with phalloidin bound to TRITC.

Mixed neuron / glial cultures from p18 rat embryo brain stained with antibody to alpha-internexin which reveals, in red, neuronal processes and cell bodies.
