    <p>Odontomachus emeryi Mann, n. status</p> <p>(Fig. 4, no. 5)</p> <p>Odontomachus imperator subsp. emeryi Mann, 1919, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 63:303, fig. 12, worker, queen, male. Type locality: Maliali, Florida, Solomon Islands. (Syntypes examined - MCZ.)</p> <p>Material examined. SOLOMON ISLANDS: Maliali, Florida (syntypes); Fulakora, Santa Isabel (syntypes); Torokina R" Bougainville (B. D. Valentine); Kokure, 690 m., Bougainville (E. J. Ford); Boku, Bougainville (Ford).</p> <p>Taxonomic notes. This species is very similar to the widespread 0. saevissimus of western Melanesia and in fact may be no more than a geographic variant of it. Emeryi differs in its distinctive coloration and convex posterior border of petiolar node. A single worker of saevissimus from New Ireland appears to be both geographically and morphologically intermediate. It has a petiolar node like that of emeryi, but the body coloration is typical of saevissimus. Unfortunately, the head of this interesting specimen is missing.</p> <p>Ecological notes. Mann made the following observations on the type colonies: ' ' They were in dense forest; the nests were in the ground among the roots of trees and contained large numbers of workers. The workers are less active than haematoda [= simillimus] and not as aggressive." E. J. Ford, Jr., collected winged queens from a nest at Kokure on June 12, 1956.</p>Published as part of <i>Wilson EO, 1959, Studies on the ant fauna of Melanesia V.

Type locality: Graciosa Bay, Santa Cruz. (Syntypes examined - MCZ.)</p> <p>Material examined. SANTA CRUZ: Graciosa Bay (syntypes). Mann also recorded this species from Malapaina, Three Sisters Group, Solomons, on which island it occurs sympatrically with the closely related A. cato Forel.</p> <p>Taxonomic note. A. isolatus forms with A. splendens (Aru), A. seminiger (Waigeo), and A. splendidulus (Carolines), the "isolatus superspecies," i.e., a tightly-knit group of cognate forms which seem sufficiently well differentiated to be good biological species, but which are completely allopatric in distribution. Actually, treatment of these four forms as species must be considered arbitrary until evidence is obtained of non-intergradation in areas of overlap, if indeed such areas exist at all.</p> <p>The range of the isolatus superspecies forms a nearly complete circle around that of the related species cato. Brown (Quart. Rev. Biol., 32:271, 1957) has suggested that this unusual pattern may have resulted from the replacement of isolât in New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, and western Solomons by the more recently evolved rato.</p>Published as part of <i>Wilson EO, 1959, Studies on the ant fauna of Melanesia V.

    We introduced the notions of fuzzy Ce-I(ec,eo) functions and fuzzy completely Ce-I(rc,eo) functions via fuzzy e-open sets. Some properties and several characterization of these types of functions are investigated

    Odontomachus gressitti EO, 1959, n. sp.

    &lt;p&gt;Odontomachus gressitti Wilson, n. sp.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;(Fig. 4, no. 8)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Diagnosis. A small, slender species belonging to the saevissimus group and most closely resembling papuanus Emery. It differs from papuanus by its distinctive coloration, presence of transverse striae on the anterodorsal face of the petiolar node, and more slender petiolar spine. It bears a superficial resemblance to linae Donisthorpe but differs markedly from that species in its smaller size, distinctive coloration, and &quot;papuanustype &quot; petiolar node.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Holotype worker. HW 2.16 mm, HL 3.48 mm, SL 3.43 mm, PW 1.35 mm, length of petiolar node &Iuml;.00 mm, distance from posterior margin of petiolar spiracle to tip of petiolar spine 1.42 mm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Cephalic striae entirely limited to frontal lobes and interocular depression; remainder of head entirely smooth and shining. Entire alitrunk transversely striate, the striae becoming very weak in the center of the pronotum and even failing entirely in a limited area just 1.32 mm posterior to the anterior margin of the pronotal &ldquo;neck.&rdquo; Entire anterodorsal and lateral faces of petiolar node, exclusive of the spine and most of its supporting cone, transversely striate. Gaster completely smooth and shining.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Head and gaster dark reddish brown. Pronotal &ldquo;neck,&rdquo; posterior margin of pronotum, entire mesonotum, and propodeal dorsum posterior to the level of the propodeal spiracles medium reddish brown. All of these areas contrast with the remainder of the alitrunk and the petiole, which are a much lighter shade of brownish yellow.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Type locality. Nondugl, 1750 m., Ahi Valley, N-E. New Guinea (J. L. Gressitt). The single worker from this locality has been returned to Dr. Gressitt for deposit in the B. P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Paratype worker. A single worker from Gold Ridge-to-Suta (Jonapau), 1100 m., Guadalcanal (Gressitt) has been determined as this species. It differs from the holotype in its overall much lighter coloration (body light brownish yellow, the pronotal neck and mesonotum a shade darker than the rest), slightly thicker petiolar spine, and presence of numerous oblique hairs on the spine and cone (standing hairs completely lacking in holotype). Further collecting may show the Solomons form to rank as a distinct species. The single Solomons specimen has been deposited in the Museum of Comparative Zoology.&lt;/p&gt;Published as part of &lt;i&gt;Wilson EO, 1959, Studies on the ant fauna of Melanesia V.

    CD3-negative lymphokine-activated cytotoxic cells express the CD3 epsilon gene.

    No full text
    The expression of genes encoding different polypeptide chains of the TCR-CD3 complex was analyzed in a panel of cloned MHC-unrestricted cytotoxic cells. The clones were derived from CD3+ and CD3- human PBL. After expansion in rIL-2, all clones were able to lyse the NK-sensitive target cell line K562. In contrast, lysis of fresh tumor cells was achieved almost exclusively by CD3- clones. To test whether a known TCR-CD3 complex may be involved in MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity, total RNA from nine CD3+ and 11 CD3- clones was isolated and hybridized with DNA probes for the TCR alpha-, beta-, and gamma-chains and for the CD3 gamma-, delta-, and epsilon-chains. TCR gamma transcripts were present at high levels in CD3+CD4- CD8- clones but were undetectable in all CD3- clones. Lysis of fresh tumor cells is an activity which can be independent of the TCR alpha beta and TCR gamma complexes because the CD3- clones did not express these TCR genes. Interestingly, all CD3- clones expressed CD3 epsilon transcripts, but not CD3 gamma- or delta-transcripts. CD3- lymphokine-activated cytotoxic cells may therefore be derived from immature T cells which do not yet express a complete CD3 complex. The CD3 epsilon chain, if expressed in CD3- cells in association with other molecules, could be involved in the activation and lytic function of these MHC-unrestricted cytotoxic cells
