In the present study, two yeast antagonists, Cryptococcus laurentii (strain 317) and Candida ciferrii (strain 283) isolated from the surface of healthy apples, controlled blue mold of apple caused by Penicillium expansum. Both antagonists reduced the incidence of blue mold by 80% at 25 °C. At 5 °C C. ciferrii (strain 283) maintained the efficacy of disease control, but C. laurentii (strain 317)...

Immunization with the retinal interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) induces in a variety of animals an inflammatory eye disease, experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU). We have previously shown that sequence 1181-1191 of bovine IRBP (BOV 1181-1191) is immunodominant and highly uveitogenic and immunogenic in Lewis rats. Sequence 1181-1191 of the rat IRBP (RAT 1181-1191) differs...

The psychrophilic protease subtilisin S41 from the Antarctic bacillus TA41, and two variants with two and seven amino acid substitutions were studied using molecular dynamics simulation at 283 and 363 K. The analysis of protein dynamics revealed that the average global flexibility of both variants was slightly higher than wild type at both 283 and 363 K. Essential dynamics analysis evidenced th...

The expression of retinoblastoma (pRb) and cyclin D3 proteins is highly induced during the process of skeletal myoblast differentiation. We have previously shown that cyclin D3 is nearly totally associated with hypophosphorylated pRb in differentiated myotubes, whereas Rb-/- myocytes fail to accumulate the cyclin D3 protein despite normal induction of cyclin D3 mRNA. Here we report that pRb pro...

Objective: To determine the frequency of Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in neonates presenting with jaundice. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) Department of Child Health, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from January 2008 to June 2008.
