Plasma from Human Mothers of Fetuses with Severe Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita Causes Deformities in Mice
Plasma from human mothers of fetuses with severe arthrogryposis multiplex congenita causes deformities in mice Leslie Jacobson, … , Gillian Morriss-Kay, Angela Vincent J Clin Invest. 1999;103(7):1031-1038. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI5943. Article Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is characterized by fixed joint contractures and other deformities, sometimes resulting in fetal death. The cause is unknown in most cases, but some women with fetuses affected by severe AMC have serum antibodies that inhibit fetal acetylcholine receptor (AChR) function, and antibodies to fetal antigens might play a pathogenic role in other congenital disorders. To investigate this possibility, we have established a model by injecting pregnant mice with plasma from four anti-AChR antibody–positive women whose fetuses had severe AMC. We found that human antibodies can be transferred efficiently to the mouse fetus during the last few days of fetal life. Many of the fetuses of dams injected with AMC maternal plasmas or Ig were stillborn and showed fixed joints and other deformities. Moreover, similar changes were found in mice after injection of a serum from one anti-AChR antibody–negative mother who had had four AMC fetuses. Thus, we have confirmed the role of maternal antibodies in cases of AMC associated with maternal anti-AChR, and we have demonstrated the existence of pathogenic maternal factors in one other case. Importantly, this approach can be used to look at the effects of other maternal human antibodies on development of the fetus.

Land Smith A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENGLISH CALGARY, ALBERTA JANUARY, 2021 © Mallory E. Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work. -

Decriminalize UW #Georgefloyd #Charleenalyles #Jtwilliams #Tommyle #Shaunfuhr #Mannyellis
To sign on to this letter as an individual with ties to UW: https://bit.ly/DecrimUWind To sign on to this statement on behalf of an organization (RSO, academic unit, etc) , please go to: https://bit.ly/DecrimUWorg Decriminalize UW #GeorgeFloyd #CharleenaLyles #JTWilliams #TommyLe #ShaunFuhr #MannyEllis As members of the University of Washington (Seattle) community, we call on President Ana Mari Cauce and Provost Mark Richards to take immediate action to ensure the health and safety of people on campus, particularly Black and other persons of color, by protecting them from police violence by 1) the Seattle Police Department and 2) the UW Police Department. The national Movement For Black Lives has given the UW community an invitation to uphold our values of justice, equity, and anti-racism, and immediately divest from the Seattle Police Department (SPD) to protect our Black community members. In 2011, The US Department of Justice investigated SPD and found a pattern of excessive and unconstitutional force, which forced the City into a consent decree. The City is seeking to be released from the agreement despite repeated lack of accountability for police killings of Black residents -- most recently, Charleena Lyles and Shaun Fuhr.1 We bear witness to the ongoing harms that police violence enacts against Black lives. In the interests of public health and safety, we call on the University of Washington to divest from and cease any contracts with the Seattle Police Department. Specifically, we call on UW to break all ties (both informal and formal in the form of contracts, agreements, and MOUs) with Seattle Police Department by taking the following steps: 1) Immediately stop handing over people detained by UW Police Department to SPD custody.2 1 This statement was correct when the petition launched on June 2, 2020. -
