Torque and changes in the LODAn axial torque Γz acting on the mantle causes a change in its rotation rate (ΔΩm) according to $${C}_{{\rm{m}}}\frac{{\rm{d}}\Delta {\varOmega }_{{\rm{m}}}}{{\rm{d}}t}={\varGamma }_{z},$$ (1) in which Cm = 7.13 × 1037 kg m2 is the axial moment of inertia of the mantle. ΔΩm corresponds to a change in the LOD (ΔLOD) $$\Delta {\rm{LOD}}=-\frac{2{\rm{\pi }}}{{\varOmega }_{{\rm{o}}}^{2}}\Delta {\varOmega }_{{\rm{m}}},$$ … Read more
MiceC57BL/6, P14 TCR-transgenic (Tg)45, pmel TCR-Tg46 and Rosa26-Cas9 knock-in47 mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Human CD19 CAR-Tg mice were provided by T. Geiger36. We crossed Rosa26-Cas9 knock-in mice with P14, pmel or human CD19 (hCD19) CAR-Tg mice to express Cas9 in antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. The Cas9-expressing mice were fully backcrossed to the … Read more
