...inconsistent defense, a dearth of pure scorers, and an erratic chemistry all prevented the Harvard squad from blossoming into an effective unit...
...three-page letter was buried deep in the Aug. 7, 1975, issue of the journal Nature. It described a method of producing huge quantities of very pure, very precise antibodies, the disease-fighting guided missiles of the immune system. The technique, said Authors César Milstein and Georges Köhler of the Medical Research Council Laboratory in Cambridge, England, "could be valuable for medical and industrial use," although Milstein worried about such conjecture being "immodest...
...created a hybrid that not only manufactured the antibody but multiplied as rapidly as the cancer cell. The resulting culture served as a miniature factory, churning out the desired antibody. Because every cell in the culture is an identical descendant, or clone, of the original hybrid, the antibody is pure and therefore a precise instrument. Says Milstein: "It al lows you to discriminate one molecule from another." Monoclonal antibodies can home in on targets ranging from a malignant cell to a malaria parasite to a specific structure in the brain. They have already showed promise in treating transplant and cancer...
...Crimson came right back, riding excellent front-line blocking to a 15-4 second game victory. From then on, though, it was pure heartbreak for the spikers...
...most significant recent move has been the appointment of Erich Bloch, a former IBM director who is widely regarded as a pure high tech promoter and a leading engineering manager. He has taken the initial step of fashioning a new policy and managerial strategy to make the NSI both a basic research and a technology foundation...
