Background Since approvement of the first vaccines against COVID-19 in European 12/2020, a large vaccination (VAC) campaign was started. Patients with inflammatory diseases (ID) were graded as higher risk. Many our patients used possibility and got vaccinated. Until know, there is few knowledge about efficacy safety VAC ID. There are some reports less response ID (1). antibody (AB) studies ongo...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Reactive oxygen species are frequently produced when plants are exposed to abiotic stresses. Among the detoxication systems, two enzymes, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase (GR) play key roles. GR has also a central role in keeping the reduced glutathione pool during stress thus allowing the adjustments on the cellular redox reactions. The aim of this work was to...

NspA is a highly conserved membrane protein that is reported to elicit protective antibody responses against Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, B and C in mice (D. Martin, N. Cadieux, J. Hanel, and B. R. Brodeur, J. Exp. Med. 185:1173-1183, 1997). To investigate the vaccine potential of NspA, we produced mouse anti-recombinant NspA (rNspA) antisera, which were used to evaluate the accessibili...

the lactic acid bacteria in 9 samples of the fermented camel milk, chal, taken from rural area and retail markets were identified on the basis of their physiological and morphological properties. from the samples, 93 lab species including, 64 bacillus (68.8%), 8 cocci 8.6%), 11 coccobacillus (11.83%), 2 streptococcus (2.15%) and 8 tetrade (8.6%) were identified. among the lactobacillus species,...

This paper presents the goals and the research approach of the project DodOrg (Digital On-demand Computing Organism for Real-Time Systems) within the Priority Programme “1183 Organic Computing”. The main goal of the project is the development of a biologically motivated computing organism with the three levels “brain”, “organ” and “cell”. On the brain level an organic robot control will be deve...
