The hypothesis that the association between flow proneness and Big Five personality traits is primarily at level of general factor (GFP) was tested. By reanalyzing data from a previous study, analyzing collected convenience sample, support found for hypothesis. results suggest may be an additional construct could added to nomological network constructs are strongly associated with GFP.

Effluents from wastewater treatment works (WwTW) exhibit both temporal and spatial variation in oestrogenicity, however few studies have attempted to quantify how this affects biological responses fish. Here we used an oestrogen-responsive green fluorescent protein (ERE-GFP) transgenic zebrafish (Danio rerio) oestrogenic activity health effects for exposure three different WwTW effluents. Endpo...

Objective(s): Neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) hold a great potential for delivery of therapeutic agents into the injured regions of the brain. Efficient gene delivery using NS/PCs may correct a genetic defect, produce therapeutic proteins or neurotransmitters, and modulate enzyme activation. Here, we investigated the efficiency of a recombinant lentivirus vector ...

This study was conducted to optimize a highly efficient mRNA transfection into dendritic cells (DC) derived from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. Applying an electroporation technique, in vitro synthesized Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) mRNA was transfected as an indicator into the DCs derived from a healthy donor. Flow cytometry revealed 84.9% transfection efficiency for DC...

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) and related genetically-encoded fluorescent proteins have had a major impact in cell biology. GFP has diverse applications in studies of protein localization, dynamics, interactions and regulation. GFP is targetable to specific cellular sites in cell culture models and in vivo in a wide variety of organisms. A unique application of fluorescent proteins is the...
