Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 A porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) QY1 was serially passed on Marc‐145 cells. Virulence of different intermediate derivatives of QY1 (P5, P60, P80, and P100) were determined. The study found that QY1 had been gradually attenuated during the in vitro process.

The Development of Unconventional Extrathymic Activated CD4+CD8+ T Cells in Chagas Disease
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The numbers of extrathymic CD4+CD8+ double‐positive (DP) T cells are augmented in various pathophysiological conditions, such as infectious diseases caused by intracellular pathogens, organs subjected to autoimmune attack and malignant tumors. The roles performed by extrathymic DP T cells are not clear, and it is not known how they are distributed in ...
