ABSTRACT
In this paper, we will look at the development and the current status of the laws in France (and to some extent other EU nations) and the United States. In doing so, many differences will emerge about the views and values of assisted reproductive technology in the two countries. We will try to articulate some of those underlying moral, political, and legal differences.

The specificity of immunohistological reactions of commercial polyclonal antibodies to antigens of various mycobacteria (Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium duvalii and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis) was tested in connection with a number of pathogens and with the help of the indirect immunoperoxidase technique. Positive reactions occurred with various mycobacterial antigens and some Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. These investigations indicate that when the above antibodies are used in histopathological diagnostics, false-positive results can be expected.
