The Making of a Leukocyte Receptor: Origin, Genes and Regulation of Human CD38 and Related Molecules
Report on the fifth International Workshop on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens
This paper represents a detailed description of the results and basic studies presented at the 5th International Workshop
on Leukocyte Differentiation Antigen held in Boston on November 3-7, 1993. More than 500 institutions worldwide participated in the
Workshop study groups, and approximately 1450 antibodies were investigated, allowing the identification of 48 new CD clusters and the
redelineation of 14 previously clustered molecules . All the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were analyzed by flow cytometry and the data recorded in a Leukocyte Differentiation Antigen Database (LDAD), which represents the source of the information found in this workshop
report. A more extensive account of this Workshop will be published by Oxford University Press before the end of 1994.
The workshop was divided into 11 sections and the workshop organizers were the following
scientists: Stuart Schlossman, Chairman of the Meeting, Laurence Boumsell (T-cell section),
Wally Gilks (Statistical analysis), John Harlan (Endothelial cells), Tadamitsu Kishimoto
(Cytokine receptors), Chikao Morimoto (Activation antigens), Jerome Ritz (NK antigens), Stephen Shaw (Cross-lineage blind panel), Timothy Springer (Adhesion section), Roy Silverstein (Platelets), Thomas Tedder (B cells), Robert Todd (Myeloid cells)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
