Differential binding patterns of anti-sulfatide antibodies to glial membranes [PDF]
Sulfatide is a major glycosphingolipid in myelin and a target for autoantibodies in autoimmune neuropathies. However neuropathy disease models have not been widely established, in part because currently available monoclonal antibodies to sulfatide may ...

Membrane attack complex inhibitor CD59a protects against focal cerebral ischemia in mice
Background The complement system is a crucial mediator of inflammation and cell lysis after cerebral ischemia. However, there is little information about the exact contribution of the membrane attack complex (MAC) and its inhibitor-protein CD59.

Effect of Calcium Deficiency on Growth and Leaf Acid Soluble Proteins of Tomato [PDF]
The effects of temporary Ca (Ca) calcium deficiency lasting 2, 3, 4 or 5 d were investigated on tomato plants at the 6-leaf stage, grown hydroponically under controlled conditions. With 2, 3 or 4 d of Ca deficiency, the dry weight of the tomato leaves,

Membrane attack complexes, endothelial cell activation, and direct allorecognition
Endothelial cells (ECs) form a critical immune interface regulating both the activation and trafficking of alloreactive T cells. In the setting of solid organ transplantation, donor-derived ECs represent sites where alloreactive T cells encounter major and minor tissue-derived alloantigens.

Transcription factors and molecular markers revealed asymmetric contributions between allotetraploid Upland cotton and its two diploid ancestors [PDF]
Three Gossypium species have been used to breed cotton as they vary in their fiber production and resistance to stresses. Transcription factors (TFs) mostly are present in different copies or isoforms by which they conduct their regulation.
