A lack of relevant animal models has hampered preclinical screening and critical evaluation of the efficacy of human vaccines in vivo. Carcinoembryonic antigen-A2Kb (CEA-A2Kb) double transgenic mice provide a biologically relevant model for preclinical screening and critical evaluation of human CEA vaccine efficacy in vivo, particularly because such animals are peripherally tolerant of CEA. We ...

Malaria poses a significant global health challenge, resulting in approximately 600,000 deaths each year. Individuals living regions with endemic malaria have the potential to develop partial immunity, thanks part presence of anti-plasmodium antibodies. As efforts are made optimize and implement strategies reduce transmission ultimately eliminate disease, it is crucial understand how these inte...

A method of determining material parameters associated with a conductor using four points includes injecting and extracting alternating current into the plate using current-carrying wires operatively connected to two of the four points, measuring potential drop between the remaining two of the four points, and calculating the material parameters. The conductor can be of a homogenous material, a...

In this work we study the effect of some electrical prosperities on synthetic rubber reinforced with carbon black diluted in heptanes with concentrations from 0.2% gm/mole to 2.0% gm/ mole in temperatures range (100, 150, 200, 250, 300) C associated with amount weight of black carbon 5wt% added to the diluted rubber. The results of electrical properties measurement of Buna rubber reinforced wit...
