    Purification of human butyrylcholinesterase from frozen Cohn fraction IV-4 by ion exchange and Hupresin affinity chromatography.

    Human butyrylcholinesterase (HuBChE) is being developed as a therapeutic for protection from the toxicity of nerve agents. An enriched source of HuBChE is Cohn fraction IV-4 from pooled human plasma. For the past 40 years, purification of HuBChE has included affinity chromatography on procainamide-Sepharose. The present report supports a new affinity sorbent, Hupresin, for purification of HuBChE from Cohn fraction IV-4. Nine batches of 70-80 kg frozen Cohn fraction were extracted with water, filtered, and chromatographed on 30 L of Q-Ceramic ion exchange sorbent at pH 4.5. The 4% pure Q-eluent was pumped onto 4.2 L Hupresin, where contaminants were washed off with 0.3 M NaCl in 20 mM sodium phosphate pH 8.0, before 99% pure HuBChE was eluted with 0.1 M tetramethylammonium bromide. The average yield was 1.5 g of HuBChE from 80 kg Cohn paste. Recovery of HuBChE was reduced by 90% when the paste was stored at -20°C for 1 year, and reduced 100% when stored at 4°C for 24h. No reduction in HuBChE recovery occurred when paste was stored at -80°C for 3 months or 3 years. Hupresin and procainamide-Sepharose were equally effective at purifying HuBChE from Cohn fraction. HuBChE in Cohn fraction required 1000-fold purification to attain 99% purity, but 15,000-fold purification when the starting material was plasma. HuBChE (P06276) purified from Cohn fraction was a 340 kDa tetramer of 4 identical N-glycated subunits, stable for years in solution or as a lyophilized product

    Patterns of Variation in Jakarta Indonesian: Linguistic and Social Dimensions

    No full text
    Colloquial varieties of Indonesian are increasingly becoming the native languages of a significant portion of the Indonesian population. Notable in this regard is Jakarta Indonesian (JI). We seek to examine the nature of variation in this increasingly widely spoken variety based on the Betawi-Jakarta Indonesian corpus (Gil & Tadmor 2014). We investigate variation within a subset of speakers comparing the phonological variables Kurniawan (2018) examined (word-final [a] ~ [e], word-final [h] ~ [ʔ] ~ Ø, and active prefix N- ~ [ŋə]) with the additional variables word-initial [s] ~ Ø and [h] ~ Ø (Cohn & Vogel 2019) and first person singular (1SG) pronouns (Abtahian, Cohn, Djenar & Vogel 2021). Investigation of this new emerging variety demonstrates both inter- and intra-speaker variation for the variables analyzed, but shows that the variables are not all conditioned by the same linguistic and social factors

    No full text
    This special collection contains revised essays from a 2023 SBL panel on Tamara Cohn Eskenazi’s Anchor Bible commentary on Ezra. Contributors assess her portrayal of Ezra’s political artistry and formation of “peoplehood,” engage major debates in Ezra–Nehemiah scholarship, and reflect on the role and limits of the commentator in reconstructing history and interpreting the text amid contemporary resonances

    Exotica in the Globular Cluster M4, Studied with Chandra, HST, and the VLA

    No full text
    Using the Hubble Ultraviolet Globular Cluster Survey (HUGS) and additional HST archival data, we have carried out a search for optical counterparts to the low-luminosity Chandra X-ray sources in the globular cluster M4 (NGC 6121). We have also searched for optical or X-ray counterparts to radio sources detected by the VLA. We find 24 new confident optical counterparts to Chandra sources for a total of 40, including the 16 previously identified. Of the 24 new identifications, 18 are stellar coronal X-ray sources (active binaries, ABs), the majority located along the binary sequence in a V-I colour-magnitude diagram and generally showing an H-alpha excess. In addition to confirming the previously detected cataclysmic variable (CV, CX4), we identify one confident new CV (CX76), and two candidates (CX81 and CX101). One MSP is known in M4 (CX12), and another strong candidate has been suggested (CX1); we identify some possible MSP candidates among optical and radio sources, such as VLA20, which appears to have a white dwarf counterpart. One X-ray source with a sub-subgiant optical counterpart and a flat radio spectrum (CX8, VLA31) is particularly mysterious. The radial distribution of X-ray sources suggests a relaxed population of average mass ~ 1.2 - 1.5 Msun. Comparing the numbers of ABs, MSPs, and CVs in M4 with other clusters indicates that AB numbers are proportional to cluster mass (primordial population), MSPs to stellar encounter rate (dynamically formed population), while CVs seem to be produced both primordially and dynamically.Comment: 30 pages, 12 figures, 2 pages of supplementary material containing finding chart
