Scaling predictions pioneered by A.V. Hill state that isometric changes in kinematics result from isometric changes in size. These predictions have been difficult to support because few animals display truly isometric growth. An exception to this rule is said to be the toads in the genus Bufo, which

## Abstract A mechanistic understanding of factors influencing the dispersal behavior of metamorph cane toads (__Bufo marinus__) has direct conservation relevance in Australia. These invasive anurans are toxic to native predators, and if we can predict their distribution across the landscape, we ca
Recent reports indicate that antibodies associated with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITP) are specific for complexes formed between heparin and the heparin-binding, platelet alpha granule protein, platelet factor 4 (PF4). As with other disorders mediated by immune complexes (IC)
Immunoglobulin GM and KM allotypes-genetic markers of โฅ and chains, respectively-are associated with immune responsiveness to several infectious pathogens and with survival in certain viral epidemics. We hypothesized that GM and KM allotypes affect the outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. T
Rotavirus nonstructural protein NSP4 has recently been suggested to function as a viral enterotoxin and play a role in the pathophysiological mechanism whereby rotaviruses induce diarrhea. The ability of rotavirus NSP4 to stimulate a humoral immune response was examined in naturally infected childre
