Estimation and Prediction for Stochastic Blockmodels for Graphs with Latent Block Structure

a posteriori blockmodeling for graphs is proposed. The model assumes that the vertices of the graph are partitioned into two unknown blocks and that the probability of an edge between two vertices depends only on the blocks to which they belong. Statistical procedures are derived for estimating the probabilities of edges and for predicting the block structure from observations of the edge pattern only. ML estimators can be computed using the EM algorithm, but this strategy is practical only for small graphs. A Bayesian estimator, based on the Gibbs sampling, is proposed. This estimator is practical also for large graphs. When ML estimators are used, the block structure can be predicted based on predictive likelihood. When Gibbs sampling is used, the block structure can be predicted from posterior predictive probabilities. A side result is that when the number of vertices tends to infinity while the probabilities remain constant, the block structure can be recovered correctly with probability tending to 1.     

Activated human eosinophils generate SRS-A leukotrienes following IgG-dependent stimulation

Eosinophils, a class of granular leukocytes, are prominent in many inflammatory processes, particularly in asthma, certain allergic diseases and during infections with helminthic parasites. Following incubation with the Ca ionophore A23187 (refs 1-4) (a non-physiological agent which circumvents membrane calcium-gating mechanisms), eosinophils generate large amounts of sulphidopeptide leukotrienes, potent inducers of smooth muscle constriction and mucus production. These are now known to represent the activity previously termed 'slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis' (SRS-A) but attempts to identify a physiological stimulus for SRS-A production by eosinophils have so far been unsuccessful. The cells contain recognized receptors for IgG (Fc) and it is known that they adhere to, and can be activated by, contact with the surface of large organisms such as helminthic larvae. We show here that eosinophils, particularly when activated, produce sulphidopeptide leukotrienes after contact with large particles coated with IgG.
