    Abstract Siglec-F (SF) is a surface glycoprotein expressed by mouse eosinophils and induces caspase- and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis after engagement with its cognate ligand or specific antibodies. This targeting eosinophils by monoclonal antibodies may help diverse diseases associated with increased frequency of eosinophils including allergy and asthma. In this paper, production of murine and rat monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against Siglec-F has been addressed. Balb/c mice were immunized with siglec-F1 (SF1) and siglec-F2 (SF2) synthetic peptides conjugated to a carrier protein. Rats were immunized with Chinese hamster ovary CHO cells overexpressing Siglec-F (CHO-SF) or with Siglec-F-human immunoglobulin FC fusion protein (CHO-SF-Ig). Hybridomas were produced by standard protocol and screened for their reactivity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blotting (WB), and flow cytometry. In parallel, polyclonal antibodies were generated in New Zealand White rabbits immunized with SF1 and SF2 peptides. Three mouse and three rat mAbs were generated against synthetic peptides and SF-Ig, respectively. All mouse monoclonal and rabbit polyclonal antibodies reacted well with immunizing molecules in ELISA and detected specific band of Siglec-F in WB. However, they failed to detect native molecule in flow cytometry analysis. Quite the contrary, rat mAbs did not reacted with the denatured protein in WB, instead exhibited significant reactivity with CHO-SF cells in flow cytometry. Based on the heavily glycosylated nature of Siglec-F, it seems that generation of anti-SF antibodies able to detect native protein needs a properly folded molecule for immunization. Monoclonal antibodies reported here are invaluable tools for studying linear and conformation epitopes of SF and tracing mouse eosinophils.

    Abstract Experimental and simulation uncertainties have not been included in many of the statistics used in assessing agricultural model performance. The objectives of this study were to develop an F-test that can be used to evaluate model performance considering experimental and simulation uncertainties, and identify the best datasets to use for model calibration using different water stress functions in a cropping system model. Data on irrigated maize in Colorado, USA, and the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) were used as an example to demonstrate model calibration using the modified F-test along with other commonly used statistics. Compared to the d-index, the F-test provided a statistical test under a certain confidence level that better distinguished the goodness of model prediction for both biomass and yield while considering uncertainty. To obtain robust model parameters, we recommend using multiple treatments across multiple years for model calibration, regardless of water stress functions used.

    Abstract The recruitment of eosinophils from the circulation into the airway is a prominent feature of allergic asthma. Persistent inflammatory responses may arise from inefficient mechanisms for resolution of inflammation, including delayed apoptosis. Several studies suggest that eosinophil apoptosis is delayed in asthma. Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins are characterized by their sequence similarities and abilities to bind sialic acids in glycoproteins and glycolipids. Siglec-8 is uniquely expressed on eosinophils, mast cells, and basophils. Engagement of Siglec-8 on blood eosinophils results in caspase- and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis. Eosinophil apoptosis is an important therapeutic target for the development of novel anti-asthma treatments that specifically target the eosinophil.

    Abstract The uncertainty component of high efficiency gamma-ray spectrometry measurements due to the uncertainty of the decay parameters is evaluated. It is based on the analysis of a large set of random decay schemes, constructed using the values and uncertainties of the decay parameters taken from data libraries.
