The B cell receptor, but not the pre-B cell receptor, mediates arrest of B cell differentiation [PDF]
B cell development in organ cultures of fetal liver from mice at day 14 of gestation resembles in kinetics and cell numbers generated the one observed in vivo. This development in vitro can be blocked by an IL-7 receptor-specific monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies specific for the pre-B cell receptor, i. e. for VpreB, lambda5, or muH chains, do

Association of B-cell Lymphoma Protein-2 and Caspase-3 Expression in Ovarian Cancer [PDF]
Ovarian cancer remains a major problem of women's health in the world, including Indonesia, and is associated with high rates of incidence and mortality. There are many efforts in early diagnosis on ovarian cancer, but until now there have not been found

Tfg (Trk fused gene) is a Carma-1/IKKgamma interacting protein involved in CD40-induced canonical NF-KB signaling [PDF]
Carma-1 is required for B cell receptor-/CD40- and T cell receptor-/CD28-induced B- and T-cell activation via JNK and NF-betaB. In B cells, Carma-1 becomes phosphorylated by PKCbeta, leading to its oligomerization.

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data
This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using

Early researches have shown that the bursa of Fabricius is a critical organ for development of B lymphocytes in birds. Exogenous proteins from the gut lumen or the environment are taken up by the follicle-associated epithelium and enter into the bursal ...

Assay Development for Phagocytosis Activity Evaluation
The efficiency of phagocytic activity is a significant organism indicator which decreases with the aging of the immune system. Medications are able to influence phagocytosis, having a blocking or activating effect, and therefore are important modulators ...

CRISPR/Cas9-based editing of a sensitive transcriptional regulatory element to achieve cell type-specific knockdown of the NEMO scaffold protein [PDF]
The use of alternative promoters for the cell type-specific expression of a given mRNA/protein is a common cell strategy. NEMO is a scaffold protein required for canonical NF-κB signaling.

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Molecular and functional properties of human Plasmodium falciparum CSP C‐terminus antibodies
Human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the central repeat and junction domain of Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP) have been studied extensively to guide malaria vaccine design compared to antibodies against the PfCSP C terminus.
