ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste trabalho foi averiguar a melhor densidade de explantes e o melhor tipo de sistema de cultivo visando desenvolver um protocolo de micropropagação de baixo custo para a Carobinha. Foram realizados experimentos de multiplicação in vitro com quatro tipos de frascos: R.I.T.A. (50 explantes/frasco), erlenmayer, (50 explantes/frasco), potes tipo maionese (6 explantes/frasco) e cubetas (1 explante/frasco). O co-cultivo de explantes, tanto em meio sólido quanto em meio líquido (R.I.T.A.), promoveu maiores taxas de explantes com brotação e de sobrevivência. O sistema de imersão temporária proporcionou melhores índices de desenvolvimento, brotação, sobrevivência e altura dos explantes. Concluímos que biorreatores podem ser utilizados eficientemente para a micropropagação de carobinha.
The aim of this study was to identify the best explant density and the best cultivation system with the goal of developing a micropropagation protocol of low cost for "carobinha" (Jacaranda decurrens CHAM.). Experiments of in vitro multiplication were carried out using four flask types: R.I.T.A. (50 explants/flask), Erlenmeyer (50 explants/flask), mayonnaise pots (6 explants/flask) and cuvettes (1 explant/flask). The co-cultivation of explants, in both solid and liquid medium (R.I.T.A.), led explants to show higher sprouting and survival rates. The temporary immersion system provided better rates of development, sprouting, survival and height of explants. We concluded that bioreactors may be efficiently used for the micropropagation of "carobinha".

The syndrome defined as "idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia' (ICL) is a rare disease of unknown aetiology, often associated with severe depression of immune defences and the occurrence of opportunistic infections. A case is reported wherein a severe immunodeficiency syndrome with persistent idiopathic CD4+ lymphopenia developed in a woman suffering from systemic microscopic polyarteritis; no signs of HIV 1/2 or HTLV I/II infection were evident. The patient died of widespread opportunistic infections. The association of ICL with vasculitis has never been reported until now. A link between the two diseases cannot be ruled out.
