This book brings together scholars from around the world to address the question of how culture and mind are related through symbols: it is through the mediation of symbols that we think, act, imagine, feel, dream and remember. Thus, to understand the structure, function and development of symbols is to understand what it means to be human. Part I of the book constructs a theoretical foundation in semiotics for thinking about symbols, and analyzes their place in speech, images, affect and evolution. Part II explores how our experience is transformed through symbols: why we are moved by a movie or political speech, how bread and wine can taste like Christ’s body and blood, and why our memories are forever changing. Part III focuses on symbols in the human life-course, particularly in connection with play, language and art. And lastly, Part IV explores how identities, such as being a sex-worker or HIV-positive, are constituted in social relationships through society’s symbols. This

Cleavage of the complement C3 protein is essential for complement activation. Saline extracts of human atherosclerotic lesions were examined by various techniques for the presence of C3 cleavage fragments. Crossed intermediate gel immunoelectrophoresis revealed that native C3 was the predominate C3 protein in extracts and that the C3dg fragment was also detected. SDS-PAGE/ Western blot analyses of lesion extracts employing monoclonal antibodies directed at C3c and C3dg fragment determinants demonstrated molecular weight bands corresponding to the known molecular weights of all the physiologic C3 cleavage fragments, except Cab which is known to have a short half-life.
