Research Visits Just Budding at Spallation Neutron Source (Knoxville News Sentinel 10/29)

When the Spallation Neutron Source was in the proposal stage and under construction, its supporters said the $1.4 billion research complex would eventually attract about 2,000 scientists a year to Oak Ridge to perform experiments and otherwise do their thing. That number, as I recall, was lumped together with researchers at the recently upgraded High Flux Isotope Reactor — Oak Ridge National Laboratory's "other" billion-dollar research facility. The user projection may also have included the new $65 million nanoscience facility, known as the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences. Anyway, the numbers aren't there. Not yet. Not by a long shot, according to statistics given to me last week by Ian Anderson, ORNL's associate lab director for neutron sciences.

	Bioassay in mice revealed, that tachyzoites, bradyzoites and sporozoites that had not been manipulated or artificially separated from their natural environment, were capable of resisting a dose of 250 Gy, whereas tachyzoites of a strain of Toxoplasma of low pathogenicity for mice (ME- 49), obtained by culture in the peritoneal cavity of immunodeppressed mice, sporozoites artificially released from oocysts and bradyzoites artificially released from brain tissue cysts, resisted doses of only 150 and 100 Gy, respectively. These irradiated zoites were able to protect mice against infection and brain cyst formation. It is important to ascertain the sublethal dose of γ irradiation of zoites of Toxoplasma gondii for experimental immunization, so that zoites are capable of penetrating host cells without further multiplication, to elicit immunity without persisting in the host tissues.

•	New laser method reproduces art masterworks to protein patterns
	The research team reproduced the masterwork Girl with a Pearl Earring in the miniature dimension of 200 microns wide or about the thickness of two hairs. Canadian researchers have created a new protein patterning technique that's enabled them to reproduce complex cellular environments and a miniature version of a masterpiece painting. According to a new study published in the journal Lab on a Chip, scientists from Université de Montréal, the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital Research Centre, McGill University and the Montreal Neurological Institute have developed a laser technology that can mimic the protein patterns that surround cells in vivo and that could lead to great advances in neuroscience.
