Characterization of antibody-mediated neutralization directed against the hypervariable region 1 of hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein [PDF]
The hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) comprising the first 27 aa of E2 glycoprotein is a target for neutralizing antibodies against hepatitis C virus (HCV), but the mechanisms of this neutralization in the cell-culture-infectious genotype 2a strain JFH1 ...

Variation in the organization and subunit composition of the mammalian pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E2/E3BP core assembly [PDF]
Crucial to glucose homoeostasis in humans, the hPDC (human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) is a massive molecular machine comprising multiple copies of three distinct enzymes (E1–E3) and an accessory subunit, E3BP (E3-binding protein). Its icosahedral E2/

E2-T179N increases viral replication of MAYV and CHIKV in insect cells and causes early release.
A-C: Replication of WT MAYV and MAYV E2-T179N in insect and human cells. Aag2 (A) and U4.4 (B) cells were infected with WT MAYV or MAYV E2-T179N at a MOI of 0.1, while MRC-5 were infected at a MOI of 0.01 (C). Replication was assessed over time by plaque

E2-T179N attenuates MAYV replication and tissue pathology in mice.
Four-week-old CD-1 mice were infected with 105 PFU in 50 μL via injection to the left, hind footpad. A: Viral load in serum was assessed daily by plaque assay. Statistical comparisons were made using multiple unpaired t tests with correction for multiple

$B(E2; 2_1^+ \to 0_1^+)$ value in $^{90}Kr$ [PDF]
International audienceA smooth onset of collectivity in Kr-88,Kr-92,Kr-94,Kr-96 has been determined from reported B(E2; 2(1)(+) -> 0(1)(+)) and E(2(1)(+)) values. This is in contrast to the sudden onset in even-even Zr, Mo, and Sr isotopes. Our objective

Gynecomastia: Etiological Analysis Beyond Hormonal Imbalance
Background: Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of the male breast with multiple causes. This retrospective study evaluated whether serum estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), or the E2/T ratio differed between patients and controls, while explicitly ...
