Island size was mainly related to the first axis, showing the strongest founder effect in small recipient islands.
Because some outgrowths were quite small, recipient fat pads also were sectioned and immunostained for mammary epithelial markers to verify their mammary origin and to visualize the structure of all outgrowths.
On the latter point, although the recipients of GM NICC received more NICC per kilogram body weight, one might anticipate a greater propensity for thrombosis in these smaller recipients due to a higher risk of stasis induced by mechanical obstruction.
First, the number of early biopsies was reduced to one (at 1 h), permitting the use of smaller recipients (8 12 kg) and as a consequence approximately doubling the relative number of NICC transplanted (17 889 ± 14 389 IEQ/kg).
Although the increased resistance of GM NICC to humoral immunity in vitro suggested that the genetic modifications contributed to the protection against IBMIR, we cannot rule out a role for other differences between the groups, in particular the use of immunosuppression and smaller recipients.
Although donor lungs can be "downsized" to fit a smaller recipient's chest, some data suggest the outcomes are poor.
Case in point: one of the top small donor recipients from the first quarter of 2010, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C .. Wilson is one of the leading small-donoR-S.C .aisers for Republicans in 2010 who does not show up on the list in 2012.
Democrats made up the majority of the top small-donor recipients in the opening months of 2012.
Netroots favored candidates top the list with the following all landing in the top 20 small-donor recipients for the first quarter of 2012: former Michele Bachmann opponent Tarryl Clark, anti-war activist and author Norman Solomon, and Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn).
and challengers to much-disliked Republican incumbents Christie Vilsack, opposing Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), and Rob Zerban, opposing Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc).. Outside of West, Republicans, sapped of the insurgent Tea Party energy of 2010, count only seven candidates in the top 20 small-donor recipients.
