E46(+) virus purified by limiting dilution and plaque isolation in AGMK cells consists of a mixture of hybrid and non-hybrid virus particles. Of 102 plaque isolates obtained in HEK cells, 98 contained no detectable hybrid virus, while 4 contained a small proportion of hybrid virus. Plaque isolates from AGMK cells uniformly induced SV40 neoantigen, but when these plaque isolates were plaqued in ...

Hybrids consisting of carboxylated, single-walled carbon nanotube (c-SWNT)-silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-DNA-poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) are synthesized via sequential functionalization to mimic the theragnostic (therapy and diagnosis) system. Carboxylation of SWNT has minimized the metal impurities with plenty of -COOH groups to produce hybrid (c-SWNT-AgNPs). The hybrid is further wrapped with DNA...

Silicon nanoarray hybrid solar cells benefit from the ease of fabrication and the cost-effectiveness of the hybrid structure, and represent a new research focus towards the utilization of solar energy. However, hybrid solar cells composed of both inorganic and organic components suffer from the notorious stability issue, which has to be tackled before the hybrid solar cells could become a viabl...

The entry mode and growth pattern of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus in mouse neuroblastoma N18TG2 cells and mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma NG108-15 hybrid cells were studied by electron microscopy. At two minutes after inoculation, JE virions adsorbed onto and directly penetrated through the plasma membrane of the hybrid cells, whereas virions did not adsorb nor entered the neuroblastoma ce...

In Nicotiana suaveolens N. tabacum hybrid cells incubated with high levels (0.8, 4.0 or 20 mM) of BAP at 28°C, the percentage of dead cells and extent of nuclear fragmentation were suppressed and some cultured cells remained green compared with those incubated with a standard level (0.04 mM) of BAP. Though DNA ladders were detected in all hybrid cells incubated at 28°C, positive signals for TUN...

Historically, conventional solar cells were built from inorganic materials such as silicon. Although the efficiency of such conventional solar cells is high, very expensive materials and energy intensive processing techniques are required. Hybrid and photoelectrochemical (dye sensitized) solar cells have been the cheap alternatives for conventional silicon solar cells. A hybrid solar cell consi...

Mediterranean greenhouses for cultivation of Phalaenopsis orchids reproduce the warm, humid, and shaded environment of tropical underbrush. Heating represents the highest production cost, due to the high thermal requirements and the long unproductive phase of juvenility, in which plants attain the critical size for flowering. Our researches aimed to investigate the effect of plant size, tempera...

INTRODUCTION It is known that cells from different animal species show marked differences in their susceptibility to the destructive action of diphtheria toxin (Lennox & Kaplan, 1957). It therefore seemed possible that diphtheria toxin might be used as a speciesspecific marker in the study of interspecific hybrid cells and perhaps also as a selective agent to facilitate the isolation of such hy...
