English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

(Each of) those sites of the body lacking lymphatic drainage and in which antigens or tissue grafts can be placed without evoking an immune response. Examples include the central nervous system, the anterior chamber of the eye, and the cheek pouch of the hamster.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Sites privilégiés. Il est certains sites, comme la chambre antérieure de l'œil, le tissu cérébral ou encore la poche jugale du hamster qui, par leur absence de drainage lymphatique, permettent la survie prolongée d’allogreffes incompatibles. Il semble exister autour de ces sites une barrière empêchant les antigènes de transplantation de sortir et surtout les cellules lymphoïdes de pénétrer. [...] Le placenta représente également une barrière cellulaire contribuant probablement à la protection du fœtus «allogreffé».

Record 2 1994-10-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Life Insurance
CONT

Employees receiving benefits in the form of employer-paid premiums in respect of life insurance policies have an advantage over other individuals purchasing similar policies on their own out of after-tax income. Currently, only the portion of employer-provided insurance benefits in excess of $25,000 of coverage is taxable. It is proposed that the taxation of employer-provided life insurance benefits be extended to the first $25,000 of coverage.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Assurance sur la vie
CONT

Les employés qui reçoivent des avantages sociaux sous forme de primes d’assurance-vie payées par leur employeur sont avantagés par rapport aux Canadiens qui doivent payer de leur propre poche, sur leur revenu après impôt, des polices d’assurances similaires. À l'heure actuelle, seule la partie des primes d’assurance financées par l'employeur qui dépasse $25, 000 de protection est imposable. On propose que la première tranche de $25, 000 d’assurance-vie offerte par l'employeur soit également imposable.
