Whether to produce subtracted cDNA libraries or screen standard libraries with subtracted probes is the first consideration one must address. We advocate the construction of representative cDNA libraries that can later be screened with any desired probe. Indeed, such libraries can also be used to produce either synthetic driver or target mRNAs in large quantities. This approach has the advantage that only one or two libraries must be constructed for each target/ driver pair, and any type of probe can be used as may later be required. It has the disadvantage that more clones must be screened to ensure the representation of the rarest mRNAs.

The threshold value for screening out non significant AE sources is calculated on the basis of the mean (m) and of the standard deviation (a) TH = (m+Na), where N is an input floating variable.

Steel was used as the control object. During the experiments radiation energy, steel layer thickness, focal distance, roentgen films, screens were varied. Sensitivity was valued according to wire and groove standards.

Environmental Applications Although ion-selective electrodes find use in environmental analysis, their application is not as widespread as in clinical analysis. Standard methods have been developed for the analysis of CN , F , NH3, and in water and wastewater. Except for F , however, other analytical methods are considered superior. By incorporating the ion-selective electrode into a flow cell, the continuous monitoring of wastewater streams and other flow systems is possible. Such applications are limited, however, by the electrode s response to the analyte s activity, rather than its concentration. Considerable interest has been shown in the development of biosensors for the field screening and monitoring of environmental samples for a number of priority pollutants. 

Fibrillated Fibers. Instead of extmding cellulose acetate into a continuous fiber, discrete, pulp-like agglomerates of fine, individual fibrils, called fibrets or fibrids, can be produced by rapid precipitation with an attenuating coagulation fluid. The individual fibers have diameters of 0.5 to 5.0 ]lni and lengths of 20 to 200 )Jm (Fig. 10). The surface area of the fibrillated fibers are about 20 m /g, about 60—80 times that of standard textile fibers. These materials are very hydrophilic an 85% moisture content has the appearance of a dry soHd (72). One appHcation is in a paper stmcture where their fine fiber size and branched stmcture allows mechanical entrapment of small particles. The fibers can also be loaded with particles to enhance some desired performance such as enhanced opacity for papers. When filled with metal particles it was suggested they be used as a radar screen in aerial warfare (73). 

In 1975, the first successful production of MAbs was reported (44). By fusing normal antibody-producing cells with a B-ceU tumor (myeloma), hybridoma cell lines resulted which produced antibodies having a specificity to only one deterrninant on an antigen ie, all the antibodies produced from the cell line are identical. These studies resulted in a standard approach to MAb production. In this approach, the hybridoma cells are produced in large quantities in culture and screened to select specific clones producing the desired MAb using an appropriate assay. The selected clones are then expanded in culture (or in animals), the cells are collected, and the MAbs are extracted and purified.
