Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Amino acid diversity of antigenic sites of Iranian type O foot-and-mouth disease virus [PDF]

Journal of Cell and Molecular Research, 2011
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a major cause of endemic outbreaks in livestock in Iran. In this study, clinical field samples of foot-and-mouth disease virus were collected from an outbreak in Khorasan Razavi Province during April and August of 2010 ...

Winning Legitimacy and Dodging Blame: How Government Communication Shapes Media Sentiments and Responsibility Attribution in Consensus Democracies

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do governments' discursive credit‐claiming and blame‐deflection strategies shape perceived policy legitimacy in times of crisis? Despite the importance of legitimacy in conflictual times, systematic analyses of officeholders' credit‐claiming and blame‐deflection strategies and their effect on perceived legitimacy are still rare.

Surface Structure of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus

Journal of General Virology, 1969
SUMMARY Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of foot-and-mouth disease virus disrupted with 8M-urea revealed the presence of five major protein bands and one minor one. Evidence was obtained suggesting the likelihood of these bands being due to the presence of distinct polypeptides in the virus protein. Virus which had lost 3 to 4 log.

Structural Proteins of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus

Journal of General Virology, 1973
Summary A mutant of the virus of foot-and-mouth disease (O type) was studied, and shown by electrophoresis in SDS-polyacrylamide gels to contain equimolar proportions of four polypeptides with mol. wts. of 34, 20, 17 and 14 × 103. Two minor components were also present with mol. wts. of 51 and 25 × 103 and in the molar ratio of 0.07 and 0.28.
