Persistent γ-herpesvirus Infections
The human ␥-herpesviruses, EBV (or HHV-4) and Ka-posi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV or HHV-8) are oncogenic viruses that induce a readily controlled lytic infection followed by the establishment of lifelong latency. This quiescent state is maintained by the host immune system. In most cases the persistent infection is asymptomatic or accompanied by benign cellular proliferations. Howev...

آب حاصل از بارش منبع تأمین نیازهای بی شمار جانداران به ویژه انسان است و هرگونه کاهش در کم و کیف آن مستقیماً حیات موجودات زنده را تحت تأثیر منفی قرار می دهد. نوسان سال به سال بارش از ویژگی های اساسی و بسیار مهم بارش های سالانه ایران محسوب می شود که آثار زیان بار آن در تمام عرصه های اقتصادی، اجتماعی و حتی سیاسی- امنیتی به نحوی منعکس می شود. چون میزان آب ناشی از بارش یکی از مولفه های اصلی برنامه ...

I t has been repeatedly observed that certain infected tissues that initially cannot be made to yield virus upon isolation will do so after the tissues have been subcultured i.n aitro (Rowe et al., 1953, and Hull, Minner, and Smith, 1956). This cultivation in vitro subjects the cells to new environmental influences. The cells are transformed from a resting state to one of rapid proliferation; f...
متن کاملPersistent infections and immunity in cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive lethal disease in the Caucasian population. Chronic respiratory infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, neutrophil-dominated airway inflammation and progressive lung damage are the major causes of morbidity and mortality in CF. Two persistent infection phenotypes expressed by this bacterium are biofilm and mucoidy. Biofilm, also called...
متن کاملRNA Futile Cycling in Model Persisters Derived from MazF Accumulation.
UNLABELLED Metabolism plays an important role in the persister phenotype, as evidenced by the number of strategies that perturb metabolism to sabotage this troublesome subpopulation. However, the absence of techniques to isolate high-purity populations of native persisters has precluded direct measurement of persister metabolism. To address this technical challenge, we studied Escherichia coli ...
