But during B cell and T cell differentiation, double screening will tend to weed out self specific antigens on the B cell surface, and I'd bet that it's possible to have cells from both sets of DNA involved in the screening.
Besides which, lots of immune cells that have markers for self antigens are produced, but as long as they don't come into contact with the cells that they code against, we're fine. I remember that there are auto-immune diseases like lupus that target you own DNA.
Finally!!!!! I can say IAAMB! I am a Molecular Biologist! Yeah ME!
Now that I've got that out of the way... I'd say that quite often since differentiation of cell occures very early on, and that often the other allele in the pair is inactivated, it may be that one tissue type is derived from the one set of genes, and another type is derived from the other set of genes. That person may be a a higher risk of developing auto-immune diseases. Your proposition of spontanious abortion is quite possible... but remember Jurassic Park (life will find a way!).
I totally sympatize with the techs... for the most part.
They get shafted, yelled at by end users, frustrated by their bosses.... at least the competent ones.
However, there are some people who should not be allowed near a computer that do tech support, and they should be rounded up, stuck in a phone booth together with a rabid wolverine, and be forced to listen to Barry Manilow sing Mandy in Helium Breath! (Sorry, just got off hold with Compaq for their lovely networking products).

I've got a ton of books, CD's and assorted merch (VHS tapes, Games, DVD's) that I'd like to catalog. These items all have barcodes, and theoretically Amazon sells a good chunck of them. Is there an app that would sync to Amazon and gather all the pesky details for these items from a simple barcode swipe? I know the there exist such a product as DVD Profiler for my DVD's... but I'd like to stop duplicate purchases if possible. If there isn't, how hard is it to program with Amazon's API?
Many Thanks!
Hell, Radioshack's cables arn't bad... and they're more than el-cheapo no name ones, but nowhere near $1000 for speakers. Those are the ones that are made of solid silver, or copper that's been excreted by an elephant, or something like that...

This Gamecube is quite the toy... It made me giddy with joy. But Mario's dead, Link is underfed, I've got my X-box, oh-boy!
How bout the OS/2 Warp Pipe Dream Project?

Double Double... AMD, Intel are in trouble, Chipset burn and servers bubble.... With apologies to Big Willie!
