Loss in BW is scored as: no weight loss is scored as 0, weight loss of 1 5% from baseline as 1, 5 10% as 2, 10 20% as 3, and more than 20% as 4. For stool consistency, a score of 0 is assigned for wellformed pellets, 2 points for pasty and semiformed stools that do not adhere to the anus, and 4 points for liquid stools that were adhere to the anus.
Hollow-point pellets, flat and pointed-head pellets are less accurate in flight.
To identify different cell populations, non-adherent cells were collected at various time points, pelleted, rinsed with PBS and then incubated with the appropriate antibody.
The cultures were trypsinised at the desired time points, pelleted and washed sequentially with 10%and5 5% TCA and solubilised in 0.1 N NaOH and 0.025% SDS solution.
The combined supernatants from the two preceding centrifugations were re-centrifuged and resuspended several times as above (2500 g for 20 min) until no erythrocytes were evident at the bottom of the pellet, at which point the final pellet of mostly white cells was resuspended and frozen.
First we examined blood levels of rapamycin in the treated mice with this pellet at different time points using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (details see Materials and Methods).
Flores allegedly pointed the pellet rifle at responding deputies, who fired beanbag rounds before fatally shooting Flores.
