Polymorphism of Fc receptor on murine B cells is Igh-linked.

Analysis of mouse IgG binding to Fc receptors on mouse B cells indicates that the IgG1, IgG2a, and IgGb subclasses bind to the same receptor. No differences in affinity were detected among subclass or between mouse strains. This same receptor bound rat IgG with an affinity that differed between mouse strains. This polymorphism in affinity for rat IgG maps to chromosome 12 distal to the Igh locus.

Growth, renewal, and challenge: an important era for occupational therapy.

Occupational therapy is facing some important decisions as it approaches a changing health care system. By understanding the prospective payment system it is possible to promote occupational therapy services to a changing marketplace while avoiding major problems. Specific opportunities and strategies are defined to promote occupational therapy to new markets.

B-cell subsets: functional and structural characteristics.

The review will examine B-cell differentiation with an emphasis on B-cell subpopulations. We will begin with an analysis of current evidence concerning B-cell ontogeny. The development of the B-cell repertoire will be traced from stem cell to effector cells. The CBA/N mouse, which expresses an X-linked immunodeficiency, will serve as a basis for discussing the delineation of B cells into subpopulations. The CBA/N mouse provides evidence for distinct populations of B cells which can be differentiated by cell surface antigens as well as function. We intend to focus on the functional diversity of B-cell subpopulations and how they develop. The CBA/N mouse is not the only evidence for distinct B cell subpopulations and we will attempt to organize these data into a coherent story of B-cell subsets.

Initiating occupational therapy clinical research.

The purpose of research is to give us indications of what the effectiveness of particular treatments are on groups of people. The similarities between what we accept as a standard of education and practice and what we conceive to be research are striking. In both cases, these are disciplined methods of collecting and analyzing data, and acting upon the results of it. Those of us with clinical populations have unanswered questions and thus, good reasons for conducting research. The professional who wants answers must be willing to work for them knowing that the rewards and personal satisfaction will be great. Hopefully, the membership will recognize the importance of providing support to research and will be generous in their contribution to the American Occupational Therapy Foundation. The AOTF provides the necessary seed money to answer the questions that we are all facing.
