Generation of TCR-Engineered T Cells and Their Use To Control the Performance of T Cell Assays
2015
Abstract The systematic assessment of the human immune system bears huge potential to guide rational development of novel immunotherapies and clinical decision making. Multiple assays to monitor the quantity, phenotype, and function of Ag-specific T cells are commonly used to unravel patients’ immune signatures in various disease settings and during therapeutic interventions. When compared with tests measuring soluble analytes, cellular immune assays have a higher variation, which is a major technical factor limiting their broad adoption in clinical immunology. The key solution may arise from continuous control of assay performance using TCR-engineered reference samples. We developed a simp…
Lessons Learned from the German Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A (GERAADA) and Expectations for the Future
2014
The German Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection type A (GERAADA) is a prospective observational clinical multicenter registry that was launched in 2006. With more than 2,500 patients included from over 50 recruiting centers it is—to our knowledge—the most representative register for acute aortic dissection type A (AADA) currently available. We examined mortality and post-operative events as well as the influence of various pre- and intraoperative factors on these endpoints. Among patients registered, 30-day mortality is 15.9 %. 13.4 % of patients experienced postoperatively a new neurological deficit and a total of 10.5 % of patients suffered from permanent neurological impairment 30 days a…
Die Bestimmung der Molekulargewichtsverteilung von nichtkristallisierenden Polymeren mit dem Elektronenmikroskop. III. Definitionen und statistische …
1971
Bei der Bestimmung von Molekulargewichtsverteilungen aus elektronenmikroskopischen Aufnahmen geht man zweckmasig von der integralen Zahlenverteilungsfunktion aus. Diese wird definiert und ihre Beziehungen zu anderen Verteilungsfunktionen sowie dem Zahlen- und Gewichtsmittel des Polymerisationsgrades abgeleitet. Fehlerquellen und die Art ihrer Berucksichtigung werden diskutiert. Am Beispiel einer Polystyrolfraktion mit bekannten Parametern wird das Verfahren erlautert. If using electronmicroscopy for the determination of the molecular weight distribution it is suitable to evaluate first the integral number distribution function which will be defined. Its relations to other distribution funct…
Cessation of Cerebral Blood Flow in Total Irreversible Loss of Brain Function
1969
After the demonstration, by our group [3, 4], that in cases of so-called “cerebral death” there is an absence of clearance from the brain of 133Xe selectively injected into the internal carotid artery, further attention was dedicated to establish possible sources of error in this technique.
