To examine a contamination state of a worker having worked in a radiation controlled zone, a first unit detects contamination of a front or back surface of the worker and outputs a first signal indicating a contamination state of the surface. A second unit detects contamination of an arm's inner side surface of the worker and outputs a second signal indicating a contamination state of the arm's side surface. A third unit detects contamination of a trunk's side surface of the worker and outputs a third signal indicating a contamination state of the trunk's side surface. A processing unit detects the presence of contamination of the front or back surface and the armpit's both sides based on the outputted first signal, on the second signal output when the second unit moves up together with the third unit, and on the third signal output when the third unit moves up.

Exit monitor

Provided is a surface contamination monitor that includes a hand and foot contamination monitor that can be relocated to an inspection site in a simple manner. A surface contamination monitor has a folding mechanism that allows folding a monitor main body, and comprises a base whose top face is provided with radiation detection elements for measurement of a foot portion, a support column provided at a center of a far side of the top face of the base, and an upper unit, which is fixed to a top end portion of the support column, and on which there are provided radiation detection elements for measurement of a hand portion. The folding mechanism allows the support column to bend towards the top face of the base by way of a first hinge and to bend towards an opposite side by way of a second hinge.

A physiologically active polypeptide, BUF-3, having the ability to differentiate and maturate human leukemia cells into normal cells and of accelerating the formation of erythroblasts is disclosed. The polypeptide has a molecular weight of 16.+-.1 Kd as determined by SDS-electrophoresis in the presence of 1% mercaptoethanol, or 25.+-.1 Kd, as determined by SDS-electrophoresis in the absence of mercaptoethanol.

Polypeptide capable of differentiating and maturing malignant cells into

Disclosed is a gel of microbially-produced cellulose, characterized in that the microbially-produced cellulose is modified by (1) physically or chemically bonding an animal cell adhesive protein to the cellulose, and/or (2) substituting hydrogen atoms of at least parts of hydroxyl groups of the cellulose with a positively or negatively charged organic group. This gel is valuable as a carrier for mass culture of animal cells or as a medical vulnerary cover.

In the present invention, a mother board is fixed perpendicularly to the center of a support table of a system. On one side of the mother board, any number of floppy disk drives and hard disk drives are mounted. On the other side of the mother board, a power source and any number of function modules are mounted. The function modules include a CPU, a memory, an input/output controller, a communication controller, etc. Each of the function modules and units is stored in its own case. The function modules are airtight. Thus, since each unit and function module is protected in its own case, large case for covering the whole system is not required. Therefore, the units and function modules are well ventilated and have a good heat radiation effect. Each case also acts as a heat radiator and eliminates the necessity of a forcible cooling unit, and the fault rate is thus reduced.

This invention relates to a human T or B cell line carrying at least one Ela human adenovirus 12-type gene or fragment thereof; said cell line being capable of spontaneously producing an immmunologically active substance. This invention also relates to a process for producing an immunologically active substance comprising culturing a human B- or T- cell line carrying at least one human Ela adenovirus 12-type gene or fragment thereof in a culture medium capable of supporting growth thereof for a period of time effective to attain a spontaneous production of the substance thereof.
