    Description: There is a wide variation among humans and mice in airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in the absence of allergen sensitization, i.e., naïve AHR. Because mast cell (MC) activation is thought to mediate AHR in atopic asthmatic subjects, we asked whether MCs mediate naïve AHR in A/J mice. We generated an A/J congenic strain lacking c-Kit by introgression of the Wv mutation, which resulted in the elimination of MCs and the abrogation of naïve AHR. Imatinib, which disrupts Kit signaling, also abrogated AHR in A/J mice. Remarkably, introduction of the Vga9 Mitf mutation into the A/J background resulted in the ablation of MCs but did not ameliorate AHR. These results indicate that c-Kit is required for development of AHR in an MC-independent fashion.

    Description: Relative age measurements were made for 14 light plains areas, using 30X enlargements of Apollo 16 metric camera photography. Results indicate that: (1) Crater morphology and frequency studies consistently indicate that the Fra Mauro Formation has received 2.5 to 3 times as much impact flux as the Cayley Formation. (2) Crater counts and relative age dating indicate that the Cayley Formation is only slightly older than the oldest mare units. (3) Assuming the rubidium-strontium ages of Apollo 14 basalt breccias give minimum age for Fra Mauro Formation, the Cayley Formation must have been generated throughout a period of less than 100 million years, approximately 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago. (4) The Cayley Formation ages obtained on the near side and far side are the same, indicating a synchrony throughout the moon in these units. (5) The linear relationship as predicted by the small impact erosion model between net accumulated flux and the maximum diameter of a crater that could be eroded below recognition is confirmed.

    Description: Relative flux ages were determined for 110 areas on parts of Serenitatis, Vaporum, and Imbrium, using Apollo 17 metric photographs. The crater-morphology technique for determining relative ages is described. It is concluded that these maria formed over an interval of 1.5 billion years, extending from 3.7 to 2.2 billion years ago.

    Description: An extension of a previous work on relative age mapping for the lunar nearside is presented. The ages were determined from Apollo (Hasselblad, metric, and panoramic) and Lunar Orbiter photographs; three major subdivisions were observed: maria and two older light plains units. The plains units center around 3.8 b.y. and 4.0 b.y., respectively. Ages of maria decrease westward. The oldest maria is 3.7 b.y.; it comprises Mare Tranquillitatis and two small areas in southeastern Mare Imbrium. Oceanus Procellarum, southwestern Mare Imbrium, northern Mare Humorum, and northwestern Mare Serenitatis contain the youngest maria; the youngest of these formed about 1.7 b.y. ago. Emplacement of all three subdivisions occurred over a 2.3 b.y. interval. The three-stage model of mare emplacement proposed by Soderblom (1970a) is confirmed. Thus the sequence is (1) high-Ti basalts in the eastern hemisphere, (2) low-Ti basalts filling circular ring-maria, and (3) high-Ti basalts in the western hemisphere.
