Homodimerization of pokeweed antiviral protein as a mechanism to limit depurination of pokeweed ribosomes [PDF]
SUMMARY Ribosome inactivating proteins are glycosidases synthesized by many plants and have been hypothesized to serve in defence against pathogens. These enzymes catalytically remove a conserved purine from the sarcin/ricin loop of the large ribosomal RNA, which has been shown in vitro

Comparative anti-inflammatory activity of eugenol and eugenyl acetate on the murine immune response in vitro [PDF]
The utility of eugenol, a naturally occurring phenolic compound, for various applications is limited due to its unfavorable properties. Thus, eugenyl acetate is under consideration as a substitute.

Novel Cell Preservation Technique to Extend Bovine In Vitro White Blood Cell Viability.
Although cell-mediated immunity based diagnostics can be integral assays for early detection of various diseases of dairy cows, processing of blood samples for these tests is time-sensitive, often within 24 hours of collection, to maintain white blood ...

Enzyme-linked immunospot: an alternative method for the detection of interferon gamma in Johne's disease [PDF]
. To date, the sensitivity of the interferon gamma (IFN-c) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect Johne’s disease (JD) has been poor, especially in the early stages of disease.

ABSTRACT Plant viruses frequently cause severe economic losses in worldwide crop production. Developing broad‐spectrum resistance is the most efficient approach for controlling plant viral diseases. In this work, we found that the 17K protein of barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs), which has multiple functions in viral pathogenesis including acting as ...

Expression of interleukin 2 receptors on activated human B cells. [PDF]
Using anti-Tac, a monoclonal anti-interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor antibody, we have explored the possibility that certain activated B cells display receptors for IL-2.
