1. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are a unique subset of antigen-presenting cells known to be involved in innate immunity, cancer, and immune tolerance. 2. It is not clear why pDC express a variant of the IgE (FcεRI) receptor on their surface, or if they also exhibit a membrane-bound version of this receptor. 3. This study confirms that pDCs do express high levels of FcεRI that very tightly bind IgE on their surface, but no appreciable amount of membrane-bound IgE was detected.

When someone begins a research project, podcasts usually aren’t the first resource they consider. However, podcasts can be exceptionally useful for students, professors, and general researchers. With so many podcasts created by a vast array of organizations, there is bound to be a show out there that fits your needs. You’re also not the first researcher to consider podcasts as a useful source. Both APA and MLA formatting guidelines include specific instructions for citing podcasts.

AbstractIntroduction Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are unique antigen presenting cells that may be implicated in allergic disease because they bind IgE on their surface and modulate important Th1/Th2 cytokine responses. While conducting in vitro experiments using excess omalizumab to capture IgE, we discovered that this immunoglobulin is not readily removed from pDC to the same extent observed for basophils suggesting that a portion of the IgE on pDC is membrane bound.

Liz Sower is a suburban mom living in an upscale community just west of Boston. She has latent psychic powers and has gradually become more and more involved in the battle against the paranormal that seeps out of every window and door in Wellesley.

My father, the trad jazz trumpeter Mike Peters, who has died aged 89, was renowned for telling gags on stage. One of his well-worn favourites when roll-calling the band was to refer to a band member as “the late [insert name here]” along with a story of their tardiness. Now he is himself “the late Mike Peters”, the memory of his funny one-liners, tall stories and entertaining musicianship will still raise a smile among family and friends.
