R. J. Hanisch, R. L. White, Donald L. Snyder, Carl W. Helstrom, Aaron D. Lanterman, Mohammad Faisal, ...

. Data acquired with the charge coupled device camera on the HST are modeled as an additive Poisson-Gaussian mixture, with the Poisson component representing cumulative counts of object-dependent...

Detection of human MCP-4/CCL13 isoforms by SELDI immunoaffinity capture

Rossi, Leonardo, Moharram, Ramy, Martin, Brian M, White, Richard L, Panelli, Monica C

Monocyte Chemoattractant Proteins 4 (MCP-4/CCL13) is a member of a distinct, structurally-related subclass of CC chemokines mainly involved in recruitment of eosinphils to inflammatory sites. Recent...
