Immunological analysis of the components of the antigen complex A60 of Mycobacterium bovis BCG.
The antigen complex of A60 of Mycobacterium bovis BCG was analyzed by different immunological techniques to assess its relevance to tuberculosis and the involvement of its components in the immune reactions elicited in humans by tuberculous infection. A60 is composed of about 30 components, of which 8 were identified by available monoclonal antibodies (lipoarabinomannan, a glycolipid, and proteins of 65, 40, 38, 35, 19, and 14 kDa). The majority (87.5%) of anti-mycobacterial antibodies in sera from tuberculosis patients was directed against A60. Western blot (immunoblot) analysis indicated that the majority of the highly antigenic proteins present in mycobacterial homogenates were components of the A60 complex. A small percentage (7.8%) of A60 epitopes proved to be species specific. Thus, A60 proteins of 66, 41, 38, 37, 35, 34, 32, and 22 kDa were found to contain B-cell epitopes specific for M. bovis and not shared by Mycobacterium leprae oR Mycobacterium avium

Retreatment of silicon slurry by membrane processes
International audienceThe purpose of the present study is to develop a process to regenerate the polish liquid used in Chemical and Mechanical Polishing (CMP), called "slurry", and more specifically Silicon CMP slurry. Physico-chemical analyses show a considerable dilution of slurry through washing waters used in polishing. Thus, this effluent has been characterised for a better identification of the deviations from the slurry of reference (Point Of Use). Hence, the principle is to regenerate this effluent by membrane processes. The ultrafiltration results obtained at laboratory scale have led to the development of an industrial prototype. An optimal utilisation of this treatment allows completing a two-step process: the reconcentration by ultrafiltration and a chemical adjustment by addition of concentrated slurry. A stable behaviour of the slurry at the different steps of the process has been observed. Polishing results are similar with retreated and POU slurries. Furthermore, the functioning at industrial scale permits to maintain the performances obtained on the laboratory pilot
