    This collection contains personal and professional materials relating to the life of H.L. Mitchell, co-founder of the Southern Tenant Farmer Union (STFU). Materials include correspondence, publicity materials, new clippings, and general union papers. Because Mr. Mitchell was a national organizer for the AFL/CIO, the papers cover a broad range of unions, including unions for workers in dairy fish, rice, and sugar. The National Farm Labor Union and the National Agricultural Workers Union are two of the unions included in the collections as successors to the STFU. Non-union topics include material from the National Sharecroppers Fund, Socialist Party, and information relating to lectures given by Mr. Mitchell at colleges and universities. The collection includes materials on the following political parties and union organizations: Southern Rural Welfare Association, Communist Party of the United States of America, Farm Security Administration, National Sharecroppers Fund, Southern Mutual Help Association, Works Progress Administration, Highlander and Hudson Labor Schools, Southern Tenant Farmers Union (including the National Farm Labor Union, the National Agricultural Workers Union, and the Association of Members and Friends - Historic STFU), AFL-CIO affiliate unions (including the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Workmen of North America, Union Local 300 of Metairie, Louisiana, Dairy Workers, Fisherman, Rice Workers, Sugar Workers, Tractor Drivers, and the United Farm Workers).UALR.0076 A-76 H.

Harry Leland "Mitch" Mitchell was born in Halls, Tennessee, on June 14, 1906. He began farm work when he was eight years old, attending school during off-season. He was married in 1925 to Lyndell Carmack, with whom he had two sons and a daughter. He married Dorothy Dowe, an STFU officer, in 1951. Before founding the STFU, Mitchell worked as a sharecropper in Tennessee and Mississippi and ran a dry cleaning business in Tyronza, Arkansas from 1927 to 1934. The Southern Tenant Farmers Union was founded in Tyronza in July of 1934 by 18 men, 7 of them black and 11 white. As one of the first integrated unions, it represented the sharecroppers and tenant farmers of the South. Mr. Mitchell served as the executive secretary of STFU from 1934 to 1939 and 1941 to 1944. At its largest in 1938, the STFU had 31,000 members. Mr. Mitchell went on to serve as a national organizer and made numerous appearances at colleges and universities throughout the United States. H.L. Mitchell died August 1, 1989. Arrangement: Series I - (2 doc. boxes). Materials relating to personal and profession business and organizations not pertaining to specific labor unions.

    Surfactant protein D modulates HIV infection of both T-cells and dendritic cells

    No full text
    Surfactant Protein D (SP-D) is an oligomerized C-type lectin molecule with immunomodulatory properties and involvement in lung surfactant homeostasis in the respiratory tract. SP-D binds to the enveloped viruses, influenza A virus and respiratory syncytial virus and inhibits their replication in vitro and in vivo. SP-D has been shown to bind to HIV via the HIV envelope protein gp120 and inhibit infectivity in vitro. Here we show that SP-D binds to different strains of HIV (BaL and IIIB) and the binding occurs at both pH 7.4 and 5.0 resembling physiological relevant pH values found in the body and the female urogenital tract, respectively. The binding of SP-D to HIV particles and gp120 was inhibited by the presence of several hexoses with mannose found to be the strongest inhibitor. Competition studies showed that soluble CD4 and CVN did not interfere with the interaction between SP-D and gp120. However, soluble recombinant DC-SIGN was shown to inhibit the binding between SP-D and gp120. SP-D agglutinated HIV and gp120 in a calcium dependent manner. SP-D inhibited the infectivity of HIV strains at both pH values of 7.4 and 5.0 in a concentration dependent manner. The inhibition of the infectivity was abolished by the presence of mannose. SP-D enhanced the binding of HIV to immature monocyte derived dendritic cells (iMDDCs) and was also found to enhance HIV capture and transfer to the T-cell like line PM1. These results suggest that SP-D can bind to and inhibit direct infection of T-cells by HIV but also enhance the transfer of infectious HIV particles from DCs to T-cells in vivo

    X-Ray Structure Determination Of A Dimeric Hemoglobin From Caudina arenicola

    No full text
    The X-ray structure of a dimeric, cyanomet-liganded hemoglobin D-chain (Hb-D) from Caudina arenicola has been determined by the molecular-replacement method. The search model was a concatenated model of three hemoglobin structures superimposed on the backbone of monomeric, hemichrome hemoglobin C-chain (Hb-C) from the same organism. Hb-D crystallizes in space group P4(1)2(1)2 with cell constants a = b = 77.0 and c = 61.5 Angstrom with one subunit in the asymmetric unit. The dimer twofold axis corresponds to a crystallographic twofold along one of the body diagonals of the unit cell. Rotation and translation searches as well as model refinement were carried out in X-PLOR with the final model having an R value of 0.19 using the data from 5.0 to 2.9 Angstrom resolution (R = 0.26 for 10.0 to 2.9 Angstrom resolution). The homodimeric structure of Caudina Hb-D features close heme-heme contacts with an Fe-Fe distance of 19.0 Angstrom. The subunit-subunit interface involves both the E and F helices from each subunit with the E helices oriented antiparallel at 50 degrees with respect to one another, similar to the quaternary structure observed for the homodimeric hemoglobin from Scapharca inaequivalvis.NIH GM 30105Robert A.

BEAUDOIN Institute for Research in Construction, Institute for Chemical Process and Environmental Technology, National Research Council Canada, Montreal Road, Ottawa ON K1A 0R6, Canada E-mail: [email protected] The synthesis of nanoparticulate #-Al 2 O 3 at 600 # C using a sucrose-based polymer dispersion technique was reported recently by Das et al. [1]. This is of interest, as # -Al 2 O 3 is frequently an unwanted intermediate phase in the conversion of nanoparticulate amorphous alumina into nanoparticulate #-Al 2 O 3 . # -Al 2 O 3 has a relatively disordered structure, but usually requires temperatures in the order of 1100 # C to transform completely to the stable #-Al 2 O 3 phase [2
