C-type lectins (CTLs) are a superfamily of Ca2+-dependent carbohydrate-recognition proteins, and an important pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in insect innate immunity which can mediate humoral cellular insects. In this study, we report novel dual domain (CRD) CTL from Plutella xylostella designate PxIML. PxIML is protein with 969 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 322 amino acids, contain...

In recent years, the role of lectins in feed selection bivalve has become hot research topic. Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum is a species marine with important economic value. A new C-type lectin (Rpcl) from was obtained and its potential feeding studied. Rpcl cDNA 929 bp length had 720 open reading frame. encoded 235 amino acids, comprising carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) as well an...

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) is a respiratory pathogen which has been isolated throughout the world from numerous bird species. The present study was designed to isolate and characterize the ORT from domestic turkeys, quails and pigeons. For this purpose, 250 samples from each bird species (turkey, quail and pigeon) with or without respiratory signs were tested by taking of tracheal...

1. A study has been made by means of agglutination and absorption of agglutinin tests, of the antigenic relationships of 54 strains of hemolytic streptococci associated with an epidemic of puerperal fever in a large city obstetric hospital. 2. These organisms were cultured from the blood, vaginae, peritoneal cavities and metastatic foci of patients, from the noses and throats of patients and st...

lectins that agglutinate red blood cells (rbcs) were demonstrated in anopheles stephensi mosquito midgut extracts using human (four groups: a, b, ab and o, rh+) rat, sheep and rabbit blood cells. only rabbit rbcs showed agglutination reaction against the midgut extracts. significant differences in hemagglutinin titers and carbohydrate specifity were detected between male and female mosquitoes a...

On May 6, 1949, a preliminary account was given before the Swedish Society for Internal Medicine of a special method for the sheep-cell agglutination test based on experiments made by the authors (Svartz and Schlossmann, 1949). A similar account was presented to the Seventh International Congress on Rheumatic Diseases, New York, 1949. First we must emphasize the fact that all human sera contain...

Abstract The shapes of regolith particles on airless bodies, such as the Moon and asteroids, are important to understand their formation evolution surfaces. Limited studies have shown that three-dimensional (3D) lunar are, average, more equant (spherical) than those asteroid Itokawa or fragments by impact experiments. Therefore, required determine whether a feature is common. Accordingly, we pe...
