Influenza A virus hemagglutinin and neuraminidase act as novel motile machinery
Influenza A virus (IAV) membrane proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) are determinants of virus infectivity, transmissibility, pathogenicity, host specificity, and major antigenicity. HA binds to a virus receptor, a sialoglycoprotein or sialoglycolipid, on the host cell and mediates virus attachment to the cell surface. The hydrolytic enzyme NA cleaves sialic acid from viral recep...
متن کاملThe cytokineplast: purified, stable, and functional motile machinery from human blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes
We examined the formation of motile, chemotactically active, anucleate fragments from human blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN, granulocytes), induced by the brief application of heat. These granule-poor fragments are former protopods (leading fronts, lamellipodia) that become uncoupled from the main body of the cell and leave it, at first with a connecting filament that breaks and seals i...
متن کاملMYCOPLASMA GENITALIUM Mycoplasma genitalium: prevalence, clinical significance, and transmission
Objectives: To study the prevalence, symptoms and signs of Mycoplasma genitalium and Chlamydia trachomatis infections in STD clinic attendees and in partners of M genitalium infected patients. Methods: M genitalium and C trachomatis were detected by polymerase chain reaction from urethral and endocervical swab specimens in a cross sectional study among 445 female and 501 male STD clinic attende...
متن کاملMycoplasma genitalium: a cause of male urethritis?
BACKGROUND Male urethritis may be caused by mycoplasmas. Since Mycoplasma genitalium has previously been isolated from the urethra of two men with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), it was the aim of the study further to elucidate its role by measuring the prevalence of this organism in men with NGU. MATERIAL AND METHODS The polymerase chain reaction was used. Two different sequences of the gen...
متن کاملMinimized Thompson NFA
The problem of converting a regular expression to NFA is a fundamental problem that has been well studied. However, the two basic construction algorithms: (1) Thompson, (2) McNaughton-Yamada and Glushkov, both have disadvantages. In this paper: First, a “smart” parsing algorithm is developed which constructs a parse tree with at most (3l − 1) nodes form a regular expression with l literals; Sec...
