The MIMOSA Package

چکیده
In a vaccine trial setting, intracellular cytokine staining assays measure whether individuals respond to a vaccine. They do so by measuring how antigen-specific T–cells respond to antigen stimulation. Antigen-specific T–cells that respond to antigen express one or multiple cytokines (i.e., IFNg, IL2, TNFa, IL4). The strength of response is measured as the fraction of antigen-specific T-cells expressing the cytokine or cytokine combination, usually relative to an unstimulated control sample.

متن کاملA Mechanism Underlying the Electrical Polarity Detection of Sensitive Plant, Mimosa Pudica
Natural indicators of the electrical polarity of a direct current (DC) source is limited to semiconductor based diodes and transistors. Recently a novel bio-natural indicator of the polarity of a DC source have been reported. Mimosa Pudica or sensitive plant is found to be a natural detector of a DC source polarity, however the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is not known. This paper aims ...
متن کاملDISTRIBUTION, SPREAD AND PRESENT STATUS OF Mimosa pigra L. (MIMOSACEAE) IN PENINSULA MALAYSIA: 1980-2004
Mimosa pigra L. (Mimosaceae), a noxious semi-aquatic woody plant and once considered to be an important invasive species in the early 1980s has now spread through out Peninsula Malaysia. This happened despite an effort to control the spread through the introduction of two biological control agents, Carmenta mimosa and Acanthoscelides puniceus between 1992 and 1994. To assess the present status ...
متن کاملMimosa pudica, Dionaea muscipula and anesthetics.
Some studies showed that anesthetics reduce the response of physical stimuli in Mimosa pudica and in Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), peculiar plants that have the ability to respond to touch stimuli. In this research we tested the effects of ketamine, lidocaine, diethyl ether, and amlodipine on the movements of Mimosa pudica and Venus Flytrap. With a literature review, we tried to bring elem...
