Selective inhibition of T suppressor-cell function by a monosaccharide [PDF]

, 1981
Interactions between regulatory T lymphocytes and other cells are assumed to occur at the level of the cell surface. T cells which suppress the generation of specifically effector cells have been described as having antigenic, idiotypic, allotypic and I ...

Optimisation of purple dyeing with Mexican cochineal in cotton with multivariate analysis and the response surface method

Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 1, Page 156-169, February 2026.
Abstract This study aims to optimise the dyeing process of cotton fabrics using Mexican cochineal (Dactylopius coccus Costa). The objective is to obtain purple hues through the design of experiments and by using multivariate analysis. Plackett–Burman experimental designs and the response surface method were used to systematically optimise the dyeing ...

Expression of novel fusion antiviral proteins ricin a chain-pokeweed antiviral proteins (RTA-PAPs) in Escherichia coli and their inhibition of protein synthesis and of hepatitis B virus in vitro

BMC Biotechnology, 2018
Background Ricin A chain (RTA) and Pokeweed antiviral proteins (PAPs) are plant-derived N-glycosidase ribosomal-inactivating proteins (RIPs) isolated from Ricinus communis and Phytolacca Americana respectively. This study was to investigate the potential

Vitamin E requirements of adult domestic cats (Felis catus) fed diets containing high levels of fish oil : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Nutritional Sciences at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 1999
The vitamin E (α-tocopherol) requirement of adult cats fed diets containing high levels of fish oil was investigated. Thirty-two (16 male, 16 female) adult domestic cats (Felis catus) were randomly allocated to four groups according to sex and fed one of

Docosahexaenoic Acid Consumption Early in Life Improves Immune Dysfunction in High‐Fat Diet‐Fed Wistar Rats in a Sex‐Specific Manner

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 2, 29 January 2026.
Feeding a high‐fat diet (HFD) did not alter body composition or inflammatory outcomes but resulted in impaired regulatory T cell response and compromised adaptive immunity and antigen‐presenting function. Supplementing the diet with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) improved these HFD‐related immune changes in a sex‐specific manner.

Optimisation of the lymphocyte proliferation assay in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Veterinární Medicína, 2019
The lymphocyte proliferation assay is a valuable method used for the evaluation of the fish immune system. However, there are many variations and optimal results are not always obtained.

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Poliovirus-mediated entry of pokeweed antiviral protein [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1990
Infection of HeLa cells with poliovirus results in cell permeabilization to pokeweed antiviral protein. Cell permeabilization was dependent on the integrity of virus capsid proteins and directly proportional to the multiplicity of infection. This study demonstrates that virus adsorption is sufficient for the entry of pokeweed antiviral protein into ...
