Is the innate bio-protection power against human virus the same between males and females? A conclusion based on blood donor data of HTLV-I infection [PDF]

, 2008
Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus that causes adult T-cell leukemia. The male-to-female transmission is stronger than the reverse, so the carrier proportion of women is greater than that of men.

Sequential, chromosome‐specific glutamine synthetase double knockout with Cas‐CLOVER establishes enhanced CHO platforms for cell line development

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
This study established the first creation of a commercially available double GS knockout (DKO) from a single KO in CHO‐K1 cells, called CleanCut GS CHO using Cas‐CLOVER. When combined with the Harbor‐IN transposase system, CleanCut GS CHO cells demonstrated a highly antibody productivity.
