Lipid a is more than acyl chains.
The acyl chain length, number, and distribution have been considered the major factors contributing to this biological activity of lipid A. The charged head groups on the dihexosamine backbone have also been implicated in contributing to this biology. In Neisseria, it has now been shown that loss of the 4' phosphoethanolamine has an impact on virulence in an animal model and on the organism's s...
متن کاملWhich stage of mouse embryos is more appropriate for vitrification?
Objective Vitrification has been shown as one of the most effective methods of cryopreservation for mammalian embryos. However, there is no consensus which stage of embryonic development is the most appropriate for vitrification with subsequent maximal development after thawing. This study was carried out to explore and compare the effect(s) of vitrification on mouse 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, mor...
متن کاملHost Lipid Acyl Chains
The partition coefficient Kp was measured for a headgroup-labeled phospholipid (12:0,12:0)-N-(7-nitrobenz-2oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)-PE (12-NBD-PE), equilibrated between LUV of a series of phosphatidylcholines (PC). Fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the 12-NBD-PE and a headgroup-rhodamine-labeled PE was used to find the equilibrium concentration of the 12-NBD-PE in the different LUV. Re...
متن کاملWhich Metric Is More Appropriate to Evaluate Researchers?
Iranian medical universities choose their best researchers in each field annually. The protocols of this process have been modified quite often, but the changes were not fundamental and did not lead to all-inclusive evaluation tools. The recent article in Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology, which proposes a scoring scale for evaluation of scientist's impact called "360-degree researcher...
متن کاملKeratin 13 is a more specific marker of conjunctival epithelium than keratin 19
Introduction To evaluate the expression patterns of cytokeratin (K) 12, 13, and 19 in normal epithelium of the human ocular surface to determine whether K13 could be used as a marker for conjunctival epithelium. Methods: Total RNA was isolated from the human conjunctiva and central cornea. Those transcripts that had threefolds or higher expression levels in the conjunctiva than the cornea wer...
