    Notes: Abstract  The product of the Wilms' tumor gene WT1 is a transcription factor overexpressed not only in leukemic blast cells of almost all patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia, and chronic myeloid leukemia, but also in various types of solid tumor cells. Thus, it is suggested that the WT1 gene plays an important role in both leukemogenesis and tumorigenesis. Here we tested the potential of WT1 to serve as a target for immunotherapy against leukemia and solid tumors. Four 9-mer WT1 peptides that contain HLA-A2.1-binding anchor motifs were synthesized. Two of them, Db126 and WH187, were determined to bind to HLA-A2.1 molecules in a binding assay using transporter associated with antigen processing-deficient T2 cells. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from an HLA-A2.1-positive healthy donor were repeatedly sensitized in vitro with T2 cells pulsed with each of these two WT1 peptides, and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that specifically lyse WT1 peptide-pulsed T2 cells in an HLA-A2.1-restricted fashion were induced. The CTLs also exerted specific lysis against WT1-expressing, HLA-A2.1-positive leukemia cells, but not against WT1-expressing, HLA-A2.1-negative leukemia cells, or WT1-nonexpressing, HLA-A2.1-positive B-lymphoblastoid cells. These data provide the first evidence of human CTL responses specific for the WT1 peptides, and provide a rationale for developing WT1 peptide-based adoptive T-cell therapy and vaccination against leukemia and solid tumors.

    Notes: Photoelectron spectra of HCO−2 and DCO−2 at 299 nm, 266 nm, and 213 nm are reported. Photodetachment accesses the 2A1, 2B2, and 2A2 states of the formlyoxyl radical, HCO2. The 2A1 state is assigned as the HCO2 ground state, although it is nearly degenerate with the 2B2 state (T0=0.027 eV), and the 2A2 state lies at T0=0.536 eV. The electron affinity of HCO2 is 3.498±0.015 eV. The spectra show partially resolved vibrational features, primarily involving progressions in the CO2 bending mode. The irregular appearance of the spectra in some regions suggests vibronic coupling between the 2A1 and 2B2 states. The possible role of the HCO2 radical as an intermediate in the OH+CO→H+CO2 reaction and in H+CO2 inelastic scattering is discussed. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Traditional application of computer to fermentation processes has focused on the measurement and control of parameters such as temperature, pH, vessel pressure, sparge rate, dissolved oxygen, substrate concentration, and product concentration. In a fed-batch reactor with the photosynthetic green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium thiosulfatophilum which converts hydrogen sulfide to elementary sulfur or sulfate, separate measurement of cell mass concentration and sulfur particle concentration turbidimetrically was difficult due to their combined contributions to the total turbidity. Instead of on-line measurement of many process variables, a model-based control of feed rate and illuminance was designed. Optimal operation condition relating feed rate vs. light intensity was obtained to suppress the accumulation of sulfate and sulfide, and to save light energy in a 4-1 photosynthetic fed-batch reactor. This relation was correlated with the inreasing cell mass concentration. A model which describes the cell growth by considering the light attenuation effects due to scattering and absorption, and to crowding effect of the cells, was established beforehand with the results from the experiments. Based on these optimal operating conditions and the cell growth model, automatic controls of feed rate and illuminance were carried out alternatively to the traditional application of computer to fermentation with on-line measurement, realtime response and adjustment of process variables.

    Notes: Abstract This report describes the environmental sample treatment techniques for14C measurement with liquid scintillation counter. The groundwater sample of about 80 liters was collected from well and inorganic carbon was removed by acidification and recirculated gas stripping with the extraction efficiency of more than 98%. The biological samples were freeze-dried and combusted to carbon dioxide in high pressure combustion unit with a combustion efficiency of nearly 99%. The14CO2 in the stack effluents was collected by an air bubbler with a collection efficiency of more than 99% for a sampling time of two weeks. Sampling of14C in reduced form also has been done by passing the gases through a tube furnace with Pt/Al and Pd/Al catalyst. Active and passive sampling methods for atmospheric14C measurements were compared in detail, and it could be concluded that the uncertainty associated with passive sampling method was quite acceptable for environmental monitoring. The CO2 trapped in NaOH was precipitated as BaCO3, and subsequently reconverted to CO2 for environmental samples and transferred to Carbo-Sorb ETM for liquid scintillation counting. In case higher precision is the deciding factor, benzene synthesis would be employed with home-made benzene synthesizer.

    Notes: Abstract At the treatment of HLLW (high-level liquid radioactive waste) by oxalate precipitation, the filtrate is occured as a waste. But various elements including Cs and Sr are contained in the oxalate filtrate. It is very important, therefore, to separate from each other in a viewpoint of ultimate isolation of heat generating nuclides such as Cs and Sr from HLLW. In this study, the simulated oxalate filtrate, consisted of five elements (Cs, Sr, Ru, Fe and Mo) and organics (oxalic acid and ascorbic acid), was prepared, from which the separation of Cs and Sr was carried out by neutralization with NaOH. As a result, the simulated solution could be divided into Cs, Sr and Ru containing groups with pH. Sr was readily precipitated as forms of Sr(C2O4)·nH2O at pH 3. Iron and ruthenium were also co-precipitated around pH 8, and Cs and Mo remained in the resulting solution.

    Notes: Abstract The goal of this work was to optimize the liquid scintillation counting techniques for the determination of14C in stack effluent gases and in environmental samples such as biological and air samples. Carbon-14 activities in most environmental samples were measured with the direct CO2 absorption method. The highest figures of merit were found through the variation of Carbosorb E and Permafluor V ratio, and measurement windows. The best condition was an 1:1 volume ratio. Average 2.35 g of CO2 was reproducibly absorbed in the 20 ml mixture within 40 minutes. The counting efficiency determined by repeated analysis of NIST oxalic acid standard and the background count rate were measured to be 58.8±1.4% and 1.88±0.06 cpm, respectively, in case of saturated solution. The correction curves of counting efficiency for partially saturated solutions and for saturated solutions with quenching were prepared, respectively. The overall uncertainty of the sample specific activity for near background levels was estimated to be about 7% for 4 hours counting at 95% confidence level. Stack effluent gas samples were measured by a gel suspension counting method. After precipitation of CO2 in the form of BaCO3, 140 mg of which was mixed with 6 ml H2O and 12 ml of Instagel XF. The counting efficiency was measured to be 71.5±1.7% and the typical sensitivity of this technique was about 510 mBq/m3 for a 100 min count at a background count rate of 4.7 cpm. For the benzene counting method measurements were performed with a mixture of 3 ml benzene and 1 ml of scintillation cocktail (5 g of butyl-PBD in 100 ml of scintillation-grade toluene) in a low potassium 7 ml borosilicate glass vial. The counting efficiency and the background count rate were measured to be 64.3±1.0% and 0.51±0.05 cpm, respectively. The long-term stability of samples has been checked for all the counting techniques over a two week period, during which no apparent change in counting efficiency and background level was found.
