    Notes: The insect cell-baculovirus model presented here is capable of simulating cell population dynamics, extracellular virion densities, and heterologous product titers in reasonable agreement with experimental data for a wide rang of multiplicities of infection (MOI) and times of infection. The model accounts for the infection of a single cell by multiple virions and the consequences on the time course of infection. The probability of infection by more than one virion was approximated using the Poisson distribution, which proved to be a refinement over second-order kinetics. The model tracks initiation and duration of important events in the progression of infected cell development (virus replication, recombinant protein synthesis, and cell lysis) for subpopulations delineated by the time and extent of their initial infection. The model suggests infection strategies, weighing the importance of MOI and infection time. Maximum product titers result from infection in the early exponential growth phase with low MOI.

    Notes: Gel electrophoresis analysis of immunoprecipitated β-galactosidase and polyhedrin-β-galactosidase expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda cells infected with recombinant Autograph californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus revealed the existence of a population of discrete β-galactosidase polypeptides. Several of the polypeptides observed in the fusion protein expression experiments exhibit a consistent pattern of slightly greater molecular weight when compared to the nonfusion β-galactosidase that is compatible with the hypothesis that these fusion protein fragments retain the N-terminal polyhedrin residues. Pulse-chase experiments showed that overall β-galactosidase degradation occurred at a negligible rate compared to the synthesis rate at 96 h postinfection, yet the fragments are observed for short pulse times. Degradation of several different β-galactosidase polypeptides was observed 24 h postinfection. Ribonucleic acid hybridization analysis of lacZ transcripts shows significant heterogeneity that may result from premature transcription termination. Although a proteolytic origin cannot be excluded, the data assembled suggest that premature termination of transcription or translation is the likely cause for the heterogeneous population of immunoreactive peptides observed. Many discrete forms of β-galactosidase polypeptides were also observed in studies with Escherichia coli, indicating that production of these heterogeneous forms is not a consequence of heterologous expression of the enzyme.

    Notes: Abstract Dettermanet al. (1990) presented evidence based on twins that the heritability of IQ may be higher in the lower part of the IQ range. We first offer an alternative test for differential heritability across the IQ range, based on the analysis of absolute intrapair differences of monozygotic versus dizygotic twins. We then review two previous studies, each containing more twins than the sample of Dettermanea al., which examined the distribution of intrapair absolute differences. In contrast to the study of Dettermanet al., both yielded results more compatible with higher heritability in the upper range of IQ. We discuss various interpretations of these findings and show how our proposed test might aid in distinguishing among them.

    Notes: Abstract We examined data from a large cohort of homosexual and heterosexual females and males concerning their siblings' sexual orientations. As in previous studies, both male and female homosexuality were familial. Homosexual females had an excess of homosexual brothers compared to heteroxual subjects, thus providing evidence that similar familial factors influence both male and female homosexuality. Furthermore, despite the large sample size, homosexual females and males did not differ significantly from each other in their proportions of either homosexual sisters or homosexual brothers. Thus, results were most consistent with the possibility that similar familial factors influence male and female sexual orientation. However, because results conflicted with those of some other studies, and because siblings' sexual orientations were obtained in a manner likely to yield more errors than in these other, smaller studies, further work is needed using large samples and more careful methods before the degree of cofamiliality of male and female homosexuality can be resolved definitively. We also examined whether some parental influences comprised shared environmental effects on sexual orientation. Scales attempting to measure such influences failed to distinguish subjects with homosexual siblings from subjects with only heterosexual siblings and, thus, did not appear to measure shared environmental determinants of sexual orientation.
