The MegaPool Approach to Characterize Adaptive CD4+ and CD8+ T Cell Responses
Abstract Epitopes recognized by T cells are a collection of short peptide fragments derived from specific antigens or proteins. Immunological research to study T cell responses is hindered by the extreme degree of heterogeneity of epitope targets, which are usually derived from multiple antigens; within a given antigen, hundreds of different T cell ...

Evolution of the G+C content frontier in the rat cytomegalovirus genome [PDF]
Within the 230138 bp of the rat cytomegalovirus (RCMV) genome, the G+C content changes abruptly at position 142644, constituting a G+C content frontier. To the left of this point, overall G+C content is 69.2%, and to the right it is only 47.6%.

How to Detect Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus (PERV) Infections in Patients After Transplantation of Pig Organs. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated into the genome of all pigs and can infect human cells in culture. However, no PERV infections have been reported in recipients following preclinical or clinical xenotransplantation or deliberate infection experiments.
