Isolation of T lymphocyte subsets from peripheral blood using monoclonal antilymphocyte antibodies.
Monoclonal antisera against helper (serum OKT4) and suppressor (serum OKT8) T cells were employed in a complement-dependent lymphocytotoxicity reaction to isolate helper and suppressor T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. When prepared by this method, helper and suppressor T cells had a purity of 67.8 percent and 78.8 percent, respectively. Approximately 56 percent of viable suppressor and 33 percent of viable helper T cells were lost during the procedure.
Urban adolescent females' views on the implant and contraceptive decision-making: a double paradox.
Focus groups and in-depth interviews were used to explore the decline in popularity of the contraceptive implant in a clinic-based sample of 41 ethnically diverse, urban, sexually active adolescents. While these teenagers' socioeconomic status and patterns of inconsistent contraceptive use made them potentially ideal implant recipients, they were unlikely to select this method. Negative media reports about the method were less influential than social conditions such as peer perspectives and gender relations. Oral networks that propagated misinformation went unchallenged because of the silence of satisfied users. Personal factors such as future orientation, autonomous decision-making and value of control also influenced contraceptive decision-making.
