Surface layer proteins (SLPs) are essential for induction of abortion by Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus in experimentally challenged ewes. These proteins are encoded by multiple sap genes and vary in size and antigenicity. The role of SLP antigenic variation during experimental ovine infection was investigated. Following subcutaneous challenge, the SLPs were highly antigenic, and antibodies w...

The adjuvanticity of a sulfolipopolysaccharide (SLP) incorporated into a squalane-in-water emulsion (SLP/S/W) was compared with that of a mineral oil-in-water (O/W) adjuvant currently used in commercial porcine vaccines. Groups of pigs were immunized twice with vaccines comprising either inactivated influenza virus (iFlu3 containing strains A/Swine, MRC-11 and X-79), inactivated pseudorabies vi...

This paper proposes a memory-efficient deep neural network (DNN) framework-based symbol level precoding (SLP). We focus on DNN with realistic finite precision weights and adopt an unsupervised learning (DL) based SLP model (SLP-DNet). apply stochastic quantization (SQ) technique to obtain its corresponding quantized version called SLP-SQDNet. The proposed scheme offers scalable performance vs m...

This document describes a procedure for mapping between SLP service advertisments and LDAP descriptions of services. The document covers two aspects of the mapping. One aspect is mapping between SLP service type templates and LDAP directory schema. Because the SLP service type template grammer is relatively simple, mapping from service type templates to LDAP types is straightforward. Mapping in...

Signaling via the pre-T cell receptor (TCR) is required for the proliferative expansion and maturation of CD4 2 CD8 2 double-negative (DN) thymocytes into CD4 1 CD8 1 double-positive (DP) cells and for TCRb allelic exclusion. The adaptor protein SH2 domain–containing leukocyte protein (SLP)-76 has been shown to play a crucial role in thymic development, because thymocytes of SLP-76 2 / 2 mice a...

The adapter protein Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP-76) is critical for multiple aspects of T cell development and function. Through its protein-binding domains, SLP-76 serves as a platform for the assembly of multiple enzymes and adapter proteins that function together to activate second messengers required for TCR signal propagation. The N terminus of S...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study investigated financial and treatment implications of a speech-language pathologist (SLP) performing a voice evaluation at the initial laryngologic visit. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Medical records from 75 consecutive adult voice therapy patients during a 3-month period were categorized into two groups: group 1 (n = 37) represented patie...

B cell linker protein (BLNK) and Src homology 2 domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kD (SLP-76) are adaptor proteins required for B cell receptor (BCR) and T cell receptor function, respectively. Here, we show that expression of SLP-76 cannot reconstitute BCR function in Zap-70(+)BLNK(-) B cells. This could be attributable to inability of SLP-76 to be recruited into glycolipid-enriched mi...
