New Nikon Digital SLR Has the Right Stuff
By John P. Mello Jr.
TechNewsWorld
08/18/05 5:00 AM PT
Photos taken with the D50 were outstanding and were comparable to those taken with a film SLR. The images were sharp and their color fidelity exceptional -- even shots taken indoors with the unit's pop-up flash. Best of all, there's absolutely no shutter-lag with this camera.
More than 2 billion people around the world own or use mobile phones. And increasingly, people are using their mobile phones for multimedia -- not just for communication, but also for entertainment, news, and information services. Click here to find out more about Nokia's developments with Mobile TV!
If you've ever owned an SLR camera, you can probably remember the first time you held it in your hands. I do.
Here, I thought, many years ago when I picked up my Minolta X7, is something of substance. Weighty, certainly, but also beautifully balanced -- an inanimate object capable of animating its beholder.
That feeling was rekindled recently when I picked up Nikon's latest digital SLR, the D50.
Deceptively Light
The camera actually appears heavier than it is. At 19 ounces it's no feather, but I didn't find its bulk too taxing even during shooting sessions lasting several hours.
To a point-and-shoot punter, the D50 may look a bit imposing, but closer inspection will reveal that its controls are similar to those found on a typical P-and-S camera.
On top of the unit, there's an on-off dial with the shutter release at its center. The dial is flanked by buttons for setting the self-timer and performing manual adjustments for exposure compensation, aperture and flash compensation.
Behind the dial is a monochrome status LCD. That display will show you the camera's mode status, battery Latest News about Batteries life, memory available on its SD card and other shooting information.
Sophisticated Presets
To the left of the LCD is a typical mode dial. With it, you can choose your manual settings -- programmed auto, shutter and aperture priority, and manual. And you can choose your presets -- settings optimized for situations like landscapes, sports, night portraits, close ups and -- one of my favorites -- child shots.
While presets can be found in many digital cameras, Nikon has added a degree of sophistication to the scene modes in the D50. Not only do the modes set the camera's mechanical aspects -- aperture and shutter -- for a scene, but they set its digital aspects, too.
For example, in portrait mode, the camera will not only choose a large aperture so the background of the subject will be out of focus, but it will tweak the shot to optimize flesh tones and use edge sharpening to enhance the photo without emphasizing every crevice and wrinkle in a face.
Viewfinder-Only Shooting
On the back of the camera, there's a color LCD, which measures two-inches diagonally. If you're a digital camera buff who's used to framing shots in an LCD, it may take awhile to adjust to the D50. Framing and shooting images is done strictly through its optical viewfinder, which displays about 95 percent of a shot. For folks with less than perfect eyesight, the viewfinder has a diopter.
After you shoot a picture, it appears on the LCD so you can quickly decide if you want to keep it or not, or you can display it later and reevaluate it.
To the right of the LCD there's a rocker dial for navigating through menus and a trash button for quickly deleting photos.
To the left of the LCD are controls for paging through photos on the memory card, displaying menus and thumbnails, controlling the white balance of a shot and changing the size and quality of an image.
Outstanding Photos
Photos taken with the D50 were outstanding and were comparable to those taken with a film SLR. The images were sharp and their color fidelity exceptional -- even shots taken indoors with the unit's pop-up flash. (The camera also has a "hot shoe" to accommodate an add-on flash.)
Best of all, there's absolutely no shutter-lag with this camera. You press the shutter button and the response is immediate.
Connecting the unit to a computer was effortless. Windows XP recognized the camera immediately and uploaded its contents to my hard drive without a hitch.
Pricey but Worth It
As SLR veterans know, you don't enter this niche unless you're prepared to part with a significant amount of cash. Although digital SLR prices have declined significantly over the years -- the first ones sold for US$5000 in 1999 -- the latest models sell for more than $700. The Internet Learn how the leader in Internet services can help you start and grow your business online. Network Solutions. Go Farther. price range for the D50 is $699 to $749.
That's just for the body. Be prepared to pay an additional $290 to $400 a piece for lenses. However, if you're already a Nikon-o-phile, the company says the D50 will accept any of its lenses made since 1959--although all the features in some of those lenses may not work on the digital SLR.
But wait -- there's more. You're going to need an optional SD card to store your pictures on the camera. That will set you back another $100 or so, if you go first class and buy a high speed Covad T1: Built for Business. Get 50% off the first three months on business-class Covad T1 TeleXten -- 60x -- card with one gigabyte of memory.
It's hard to beat the convenience and diminutive form of a point-and-shoot camera for catching most of life's moments, but for that trip to Paris or the Grand Canyon, you may want more than you can get from a traditional point-and-shoot. An SLR like the Nikon D50 will give it to you.

donpat,
no where do i see abew, did miss it?? heck their not even mentioned in the up coming conference...i have issues with that and its management not staying tight with the alliance. they can not do it alone. i see freescale, chipcon and fig8 always adherent to the alliance. maybe Raj and co think they have one up on them.....big, big, bad, bad mistake.
good luck
Its development path over the last few years can be summarised with 2004 being the year in which much of the development of ZigBee was undertaken. 2005 is the year of technical verification and 2006 is seen as the year for the first large scale deployments.
The ZigBee Alliance, the organisation that is developing and promoting the ZigBee standard, now has more than 150 members ranging from the large multinational companies such as Freescale, Honeywell, Mitsubishi, Motorola, Philips and Samsung, to many very much smaller enterprises. Over 30 per cent of the membership are OEMs who have interests ranging from the cellular telecoms industry to others in the heating and lighting arenas while others are involved with the automotive industry.
EW.com
Bob Heile
Bob Heile, chairman of the ZigBee Alliance, comments on its growth: "We believe 2005 is going to be an incredible year of continued momentum and development for ZigBee, as evidenced by our growing global OEM membership."
Further milestones have been passed recently. In June this year the Alliance announced public availability of the ZigBee specification. Companies interested in ZigBee are now able to review the technical details of the specification in its entirety and gain a greater understanding of the value of ZigBee to their wireless networking developments. This will enable many more companies to review whether the standard will be of benefit to them.
The value of certification has also been recognised. This ensures that products based on ZigBee compliant platforms from different vendors are able to operate together in a single network without interoperability problems.
Since the ratification of the ZigBee specification in December 2004, the Alliance has been finalising a formal compliance testing programme to include both software and hardware.
ZigBee-compliant platforms include the IEEE 802.15.4 radio and the ZigBee stack up to the application layer and will be available as either chips or modules for use in end products. The Alliance expects to begin certification testing of end user products based on these platforms and ZigBee application profiles in the coming months.
"Since before the ZigBee specification was ratified, the Alliance has been developing a testing strategy so we could assure the market that all ZigBee products using a ZigBee platform and application would be interoperable," says Heile.
With the foundations set, a wide variety of products are now becoming available. There are many ZigBee specific chips hitting the market along with software and a number of developer modules. Final products are also starting to appear.
Recently Chipcon, a low cost low power RF chipset specialist, announced the shipment of over one million ZigBee-ready IEEE 802.15.4 RF chips. The chips, which are part of Chipcon’s ZigBee-compliant wireless device networking system, use Z-Stack, a software stack from sister company Figure 8 Wireless.
Passing the one million chips mark represents a major milestone for ZigBee, demonstrating the market for this technology.
"The fact that we have already reached one million units is a significant milestone, not only for Chipcon but for the entire ZigBee 802.15.4 market," says Geir Fore, president and CEO of Chipcon.
Beyond the development of the silicon and software elements, applications are now starting to be implemented.
One large example is of a ZigBee-based application for Ruan Transportation. This is to be used to track and manage its perishables shipping system. Naturally, accurate location of all containers is essential to ensure that the perishables can be located and shipped to the required destination on time.
EW.com
Many other applications are under development. One typical scenario is for lighting systems for large office blocks where central control and monitoring of the system would enable considerable savings to be made. With the large number of switches, lights and sensors required for such a system, the network configurations and the large number of possible nodes make ZigBee an ideal option.
Undoubtedly many more ZigBee applications will be seen in the coming months. Its low power capability means that sensors can be battery powered and remain operational for many months between battery changes. Additionally the flexibility of the system enables vast numbers of nodes to be included in a network, and for it to configure itself to pass data from one node to the next over the best route, changing the route if interference or other conditions change.
With these and many other benefits, it seems likely that this standard will be taken up in a large way for applications in monitoring and control.
4me,
you dont need an ignore button.
just dont respond.
maybe keeping your mouth shut will do you good.
and, i'd like to know your real name, as you find it necessary to post mine.
email me so as no one will know, i can keep it a secret.
heres my address.
rtatheart@netscape.net
watch that dip below 75...its a critical point.
and there will be no return to 80 for a long time, if at all....
JMHHHO
cpe,
just lay back and wait for the filing...
i for one have the luxury of free shares, so i dont sweat, except when im working in the 90 deg weather..
rain today, so its a lazy sleepy one...
rb is acting up again, they have special interests and do their own manipulation of many pinks.......
i get a charge out of the abew'rs on rb...
talk about freaks..
man get in the whaler and dig the day.
good luck,
steve
dont you just love it!!! when rb does its thing, a big dump occurs....
lycos is not a fair player, they drop the ace every time...
good luck, and be careful of rb and lycos...they have special interests, and hopefuly beyond their control..
there are others out there, THE COMPITITION!!!
go there and let others know how to make the contact.
i hate to say it cpe, but airbee and zigbee are not one in the same.
maybe ember, chipcom, figure8, etc..............
but, when was the last time zigbee mentioned abew???
be cautious with this self proclaimed genius....
many mouths to feed, he has, and the suckers are running out fast.
good luck to you
cpe,
still hold, unless your in the red. at that point, keep an opened mind.
Raj and his boys may pull a bunny out of the hat after all, but, you must be cautious, and remember Raj has a Johns Hopkins MBA....wooohoooo. check the thesis requirements!!
and cpe dont listen to most posters, that you should not post. its a free country.
good luck
love new hampshire...
only problem, is that h2 tech will take years...
and thats a luxury i dont have .
ill tuck it away for the kids, i guess,
thanks and good luck
biggest problem imo is the cash flow.........
i saw that.
this stock has so much potential.
in time we may see a buck and beyond.
dogfather,
so if there was a buyout, the the price per share of the authorized shares is unimportant?
thanks
atco,
25$ per share with 200mil auth. is 5 billion$.
heck whirlpool bought maytag for approx. 1.8 billion.....
im a dreamer, but if i see 2.5$, im taking the money and running to the next ride.....thats the name of the game.....the seas are full of catches.
good luck
t4,
there has been action with ABEW in the last two days....
if i may ask, what's your spin, if any.
thanks,
steve
Cord Blood America Provides Corporate Update to Shareholders
E-mail or Print this story
19 July 2005, 08:00am ET
LOS ANGELES, July 19, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Cord Blood America, Inc. (OTCBB:CBAI), an umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation company, is pleased to provide this second installment in a series of Corporate Updates. The purpose of this information campaign is to provide both Cord Blood America investors and the investment community as a whole with a comprehensive overview of the Company, its services and its industry during a time of rapid growth and development.
In this corporate update, our focus is on the outlook for the umbilical cord blood Industry.
GENERAL
The industry has seen significant growth over the past year, as education and awareness about the benefits of preserving umbilical cord blood proliferates among expectant parents and the general populous. A significant catalyst took place on May 24, 2005 when the House of Representatives, by a virtually unanimous vote, passed Bill HR-2520. The bill promises to boost research using adult stem cells, bone marrow, and cells from umbilical cord blood. The bill also served to differentiate the benefits of using stem cells from acceptable umbilical cord blood, as opposed to the controversial use of embryonic stem cells. Cord Blood America only preserves stem cells from umbilical cord blood. Through potential creation of alliances, Cord Blood America may position itself to be a beneficiary of Bill HR 2520. In addition, the Company may indirectly be the beneficiary of any new developments from the research firms involved with the bill.
The cord blood industry is estimated to be valued at $250M in 2005. According to the latest census numbers, there were 4.18 Million births in the United States this past year. The mission of Cord Blood America is to significantly raise education and awareness levels among expectant parents, leading to the selection of Cord Blood America over other competitors. The Company's recently released first quarter financials clearly indicate Cord Blood America is succeeding in accomplishing this goal. First Quarter 2004 revenues increased 201% compared to First Quarter 2003.
The industry is already receiving significant news coverage and awareness on all levels:
Political - Through the passing of Bill HR-2520
Consumer - Over 70 diseases can now be treated by stem cells
Business - The industry continues to grow quarter over quarter,
while Cord Blood America has posted nine straight quarters of
growth that surpass industry levels. This unequivocally
demonstrates Cord Blood America is growing in terms of both
revenues and market share.
KEYS TO SUCCESS
Mentioned Last Change
CBAI 0.47 (Unchanged)
Cord Blood America has many advantages over current competitors and companies that want to enter this industry. Its main keys to success are as follows:
-- Licensed by PharmaStem Inc. - Patent Holder to Stem Cell
Preservation
-- Partnered with an AABB (American Association of Blood
Banks) Certified Lab, that serves as the single exclusive
processing and storage facility for the Company.
-- The samples from their partner laboratory have resulted
in 34 Successful Transplants
-- The lab has been in existence for over 50 years and have
been specializing in Cord Blood Storage since 1996
-- Provides a Fixed Cost of Good Sold (COGS)
-- Partnered with the industry's premier medical courier
providing the company with 24 x7 service throughout the U.S.
and a fixed COGS
-- Fully dedicated sales and customer service team
-- Ability to monetize parent database with other products and
services creating a complete marketing effort
-- Management team has been together for 10 years, creating
shareholder value for various companies
-- Well financed for short and long term growth
-- Less than 1% of customers have defaulted on payment of
contracts, showing the long term viability of the annual
contracts
-- Recent appointment of Gayl Rogers Chrysler, National Director
of Operations, Cord Blood Program for the National American
Red Cross to our board of directors serves as significant
third-party validation that Cord Blood America will be a
leader in this space
NEW REVENUE STREAMS AND ACQUISITION STRATEGY
The barriers to entry in this industry are now significantly high and include, amongst other things, large start up costs, the need for a PharmaStem license to use core technology and the markets unwillingness to accept new entrants.
Theses barriers will help Cord Blood America expand its business through internal growth, acquisitions and new revenue streams.
New Revenue Streams - Although the company continues to focus on the end user, Cord Blood America launched its B2B model, Cord Blood America Professional Services, in November of 2004.
Acquisitions - The plan is to aggressively consolidate the market. Specifically, there are presently a number of small "boutique" operations in this space that appear to be feeling the pressure of the above mentioned barriers, thereby, presenting Cord Blood America with an opportunity to absorb these operations, eliminating duplication and creating am efficient and formidable market leaders. The Company expects any such roll up will result in the existence of 5-6 major players, with Cord Blood America taking one of the leadership positions.
Internal Growth - In addition to the internal sales team, the Company has, and will continue to aggressively add a field sales force and contract employees to build relationships with other channels, including physicians, hospitals and clinics. The company has also announced their Partner's Circle Program (Press Release dated July 6, 2005) to increase referrals.

Frugal MCU turns to ZigBee networking
Texas Instruments has collaborated with Ember Corp to unveil the world's lowest power consuming ZigBee networking and microcontroller (MCU) platform.
Texas Instruments has collaborated with Ember Corp to unveil the world's lowest power consuming ZigBee networking and microcontroller (MCU) platform.
ZigBee is a wireless, standards-based radio technology that addresses the unique needs of remote monitoring, control and sensor network applications including home control and awareness, building automation, industrial automation, asset management and homeland security.
Ember has paired its EM2420 802.15.4/ZigBee-compliant semiconductor platform with TI's MSP430F161x series of ultra-low-power MCU for developers building ZigBee applications that require the lowest possible power requirements.
TI's MSP430 platform of MCUs will also support Ember's next-generation EM260T network processor, which debuted last week at the ZigBee Open House in Oslo, Norway.
The new dual-chip network module provides a complete, integrated MSP430 MCU, a radio and the ZigBee software platform for OEMs wishing to tap into the booming market for ZigBee/802.15.4 wireless sensing and control applications.
To reduce the device's footprint and bill of materials (BOM), the MSP430F161x MCU series integrates all peripherals including high-performance analogue and up to 55Kbyte of Flash memory, which reduces the need for EEPROM.
The device also features on-chip, high-precision control peripherals such as a 12bit 200Ksample/s analogue to digital convertor (ADC) and a 12bit digital to analogue convertor (DAC) with a settling time of 1us.
'The MSP430F161x MCU series is a great partner with Ember's platforms because it sports highly integrated peripherals, such as its dynamic memory access (DMA) and digital to analogue (DAC) and analogue to digital convertors (ADC), that are high performance yet consume very little power', said Venkat Bahl, Vice President of Marketing, Ember.
'Our combined solution set gives OEMs everything they need to get into the ZigBee game, including the need for ultra-low-power low-cost simple programming and debugging, and fast time to market'.
The MSP430F161x MCU series offers the industry's lowest current consumption with only 1.1uA standby mode with real-time clock operation, as well as a 300uA (1MHz) active mode that allows engineers to tune system clocking to meet precise power requirements.
With fast instruction execution enabled by a modern 16bit RISC CPU, a startup time of less than 6us from standby and a fully synchronised, high-speed system clock, the chip's total power consumption is 10 times lower than competing devices.
CPU power requirements are also kept to a minimum by the DMA controller which allows movement of data from one memory address to another without CPU intervention.
The DMA controller reduces system power consumption by allowing the CPU to remain in sleep mode without having to awaken to move data to or from a peripheral.
The device also features a flexible clock system with five low-power modes and a zero power brown out reset (BOR).
The 2.4GHz Ember EM2420 is the highest performing, most power-efficient radio transceiver in its class, providing a flexible, simple interface to a wide range of microcontrollers.
The new EM260 is a ZigBee wireless network processor for OEMs who have standardised on TI and other select MCU platforms.
The processor enables for the first time a ZigBee-compliant network node with 'location awareness', which allows for easier commissioning, management and network subsegmentation.
The EM260 also has the highest RF output and Rx sensitivity for power consumption than competitive ZigBee products.
The EmberNet Developer Kit includes hardware, development tools, and software for embedded applications - everything needed to build intelligent, robust, decentralised device networks using Ember and TI devices.
The kit is available now and can be ordered from Ember at $4995 for the JumpStart Kit and $13,950 for the full developer kit.

has there been any institutional buying or selling here lately?
RB I-Watch shows 4% for the month. do we have names and numbers of these institutions?
please excuse me if these were previous posted.
thanks
a morning inspiration:
History began some 12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in winter.
The 2 most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into 2 distinct subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as "the Conservative movement."
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as 'girlymen.'
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy and group hugs and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done.
Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting revolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, soldiers, athletes and generally anyone who works productively outside government.
Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tame and created a business of trying to get MORE for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history.
When the power of love is stronger than the love of power than maybe we will have peace.............dont hold your breath
thats what i thought.
thanks
well what's next up or down tomorrow or friday??
thanks
this from atco on rb:
Friends - look what I found -
This is something I just found regarding a contract. There is a paragraph in a filed Exhibit 1 for Airbee on the SEC site: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1297533/000129993305003167/exhibit1.htm The filing is of the details of the acquisition of Identity by Airbee. Identity web site:
http://www.4identityweb.com/888main/pages/customer_information.htm
Identity is already the leading auto theft device company in the US. Its product is a fingerprint auto entry system which enables auto start via the autos computer. Can’t hot wire the car. With Airbee Zigbee software (mesh networking) the dealerships can do daily inventories from the office without walking the lot. Dealers will love it. They buy it, get to use it, and then can sell it to customers for likely $200+. Dealers insurance requires daily inventories and likely provides insurance discounts if its used. They already have a large dealer customer base, but currently without the Zigbee inventory capability. From the SEC filing:
"Current nationwide customer base includes dealerships representing General Motors, Ford, Daimler-Chrysler, Dodge, Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Honda, Accura, Suzuki, Hyundai and Kia. "
Now the big news where Identity describes the sources of its revenues:
"The Company also sells a percentage of its products directly to dealerships. This avenue of sales is enhanced by a contract between the Company and GMAC Risk Services, Inc., a division of General Motors. Within the context of this agreement, the Company sells to dealerships in which GMAC field staff has promoted the Company’s products and programs. The sales are closed by the Company’s personnel. The training of dealership staff, implementation of programs and delivery of products are accomplished primarily by Company personnel. In some instances the Company, also allows the participation of certain independent agencies which have received approval from GMAC. Upon the sales model, the Company intends to form similar relationships with additional vehicle manufacturers."
Looks like to me that the GM and GMAC is 'pushing' the product. Similar manufacturer deals should materialize. This is really nice, but what does it mean in profits? I've done a little research and here is my conservative estimate of future earnings. It will likely take three years to outfit all the dealers. After all it will take ~ 7 million units to fill my estimate of the dealers wanting the product. First they need one for every car/truck they have on lot so they can do automated daily inventory. Then they need one replacement for everyone they sell. Calculations is based on numbers of cars sold in 2004 (for the US only).:
GM 4.6M cars sold annually X 90% dealer participation rate X $25 unit profit X 33% sales rate to car buyers = $34M annually
All other car types 12.2M cars sold annually X 30% dealer participation rate X $25 estimated per unit profit X 33% sales rate to car buyers = $30M annually
Total annual EARNINGS once dealers are outfitted (~ 3 years) = $64 million.
Shares outstanding with all warrants, options, and Identity buyout shares = ~ 70 million. 10mm float.
Simple math: $64m / 70m = $0.92 per share 0.92 X PE of 15 = ~ $14 (Current price 0.85)
Oh, I forgot. This is just the Airbee Automotive Division. There is also the Airbee Zigbee Software Division. No contracts to analyze yet, but when they come off the pinks this month we can analyze those also. Remember, I told you so.

you can reach me there.
3 sounds great, but if 3, why not 10 or 12 like years back????
good luck
FYI, FYI!!!!!
Stem Cell Research; Gene Signatures in Adult and Cord Blood-Derived Mast Cells are Different
Drug Week
15 July 2005
Gene signatures in adult and cord blood-derived mast cells are different.
"In order to better understand the mechanisms governing the display of mast cell characteristics in human mast cells (MCs), such as cord blood (CB)-derived cultured mast cells, peripheral blood (PB)-derived cultured MCs, and differentiated adult-lung cultured MCs, we examined the transcriptomes of these three types MCs using oligonucleotide microarray (GeneChip) and hierarchical clustering analysis," researchers in Japan report.
"The expression profile of CB-derived MCs substantially differed from those of PB-and lung-derived MCs," noted N. Inomata and colleagues, RIKEN.
"In CB-derived MCs, we identified 132 up-regulated transcripts, such as MARCKS, KRT1, TIMP2, SERPINA1, and TLR2, and 428 down-regulated transcripts, such as LTBP3, CDC42BPA, DDO, DICER1, and FCER1A. Moreover, using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and flow-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis, we confirmed the expression of TLR2, which plays an important role in innate immunity, in CB-derived MCs but not in PB-derived MCs."
"In addition, it was observed that CB-derived MCs uniquely release histamine and CCL1, which are produced by human MCs but not by human monocytes, in response to peptidoglycan (PGN), although it had been a controversial issue whether CB-derived MCs could, in fact, induce degranulation in response to PGN."
"These results indicated that in innate immunity MCs derived from neonatal hemopoietic cells might have unique functions compared to their adult counterparts because of different gene profiles," scientists suggested.
Inomata and colleagues published their study in Immunology Letters (Differential gene expression profile between cord blood progenitor-derived and adult progenitor-derived human mast cells. Immunol Lett, 2005;98(2):265-271).
