PILOT STUDY ON THE USE OF DNA PRIMING IMMUNIZATION TO ENHANCE Y. PESTIS LCRV-SPECIFIC B CELL RESPONSES ELICITED BY A RECOMBINANT LCRV PROTEIN VACCINE

Recent studies indicate that DNA immunization is powerful in eliciting antigen-specific antibody responses in both animal and human studies.However, there is limited information on the mechanism of this effect.In particular, it is not known whether DNA immunization can also enhance the development of antigen-specific B cell development.In this repo

Plants have evolved various self-defense mechanisms against insect feeding.There are many reports regarding both direct and indirect defense mechanisms in seed-plant.However, only direct defenses on ferns were considered and the indirect defense mechanism has never been reported.In this study, it was observed that the fern Hypolepis punctata can at

Ageratum has a complex circumscription, and recent studies have indicated its polyphyletism.The genus has been placed in the tribe Eupatorieae whose embryology is not fully known.Embryological data are conservative and important indicators of phylogenetic relationships and can improve family relationships.This study presents, for the first time in

Neural activation patterns proceed often by schemes or motifs distributed across the involved cortical networks.As neurons are correlated, the estimate of all possible dependencies quickly goes out of control.The complex nesting of different oscillation frequencies and their high non-stationariety further hamper any quantitative evaluation of spiki
