The rabbit immune repertoire has long been a rich source of diagnostic polyclonal antibodies. Now it also holds great promise as a source of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. On the basis of phage display technology, we recently reported the first humanization of a rabbit monoclonal antibody. The allotypic diversity of rabbit immunoglobulins prompted us to compare different rabbit immune reper...

BACKGROUND Nine subgenotypes from genotype B have been identified for hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, these subgenotypes were less conclusive as they were often designated based on a few representative strains. In addition, subgenotype B6 was designated twice for viruses of different origin. METHODS All complete genome sequences of genotype B HBV were phylogenetically analyzed. Sequence div...

An approach for quantitative analysis of two vitamins with different polarities (vitamins D and B9) and their metabolites is presented here. The approach is based on an experimental setup based on hyphenation of an automated workstation for preparation of liquid samples and an LC-MS/MS system with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. This configuration enabled development of an orthogonal pro...

Abstract Inoculation of plants with plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) is an ecological approach to improve growth and yield. The objective this study was screen native PGPBs in tomato root rhizosphere evaluate their performance germination seedlings the greenhouse western region Cameroon. Isolates were selected based on ability solubilize phosphate, produce indole-3-acetic acid, seed seedl...

In this study, it was aimed to compare of nutritional composition, cholesterol, trans fatty acids, lipid quality index, vitamins (A, B9, B2, B12, D3), selenium (Se), and iron (Fe) contents between farmed Atlantic salmon rainbow trout. Crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, energy values were slightly higher than trout while ash moisture in (p < 0.05). The cholesterol content samples found a...

Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi ve üniversite kampüs alanlarında ilk kez yapılan bu briyososyolojik çalışmada, Fırat Üniversitesi Merkez Kampüsünde bulunan Ulmus minor ağaçlarının epifitik briyofit vejetasyonu araştırılmıştır. 2021 yılının farklı vejetasyon dönemlerinde, ağaç gövdelerinden alınan örneklik alanların, klasik Braun-Blanquet metodu kullanılarak değerlendirilmesi sonucunda; Orthotrichetum pumi...

BACKGROUND The number of cases of HBV infection reported by the WHO for each district and country is positively correlated with the number of HBV sequences in the database isolated from the corresponding district and country. OBJECTIVES This study determined distribution characteristics of HBV genotypes and subtypes in 14 countries neighboring China. The progress made in genomic research invo...

Meckel syndrome (MKS) is a ciliopathy characterized by encephalocele, cystic renal disease, liver fibrosis and polydactyly. An identifying feature of MKS1, one of six MKS-associated proteins, is the presence of a B9 domain of unknown function. Using phylogenetic analyses, we show that this domain occurs exclusively within a family of three proteins distributed widely in ciliated organisms. Cons...

Previous studies have shown that normal human intestinal epithelial cells stimulate CD8 suppressor T cell proliferation in an allogeneic mixed epithelial/T cell coculture system, which is neither restricted by class I or class II major histocompatibility complex antigens nor by any soluble factors from epithelial cells. Two epithelial specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb), mAb B9 and mAb L12, ar...
