Gamma tocopherol (gT) exhibits beneficial cardiovascular effects partly due to its anti-inflammatory activity. Important sources of gT are vegetable oils. However, little is known to what extent gT can be transferred into marine animal species such as Atlantic salmon by feeding. Therefore, in this study we have investigated the transfer of dietary gT into salmon. To this end, fish were fed a di...

For symmetric pairings e : G × G → GT , Verheul proved that the existence of an efficiently-computable isomorphism φ : GT → G implies that the Diffie-Hellman problems in G and GT can be efficiently solved. In this paper, we explore the implications of the existence of efficiently-computable isomorphisms φ1 : GT → G1 and φ2 : GT → G2 for asymmetric pairings e : G1 ×G2 → GT . We also give a simpl...

Poly(Glu50Tyr50) (GT) is not immunogenic in most inbred mouse strains. GT injection produces an I-J--bearing, GT-specific T-cell--derived suppressor factor (GT-TsF1) in H-2b,d,k haplotype mice. GT-TsF1 generates second-order suppressor T cells (Ts2) in H-2a,d,k haplotype mice. Here, we show that in order for GT-TsF1 to act, the recipient strain must express I-E molecules. This suggests that T c...

In the present studies we have confirmed that the random copolymer of L-glutamic acid50-L-tyrosine50 (GT) fails to induce an antibody response in a large number of inbred strains of mice. Nevertheless, GT complexed to methylated bovine serum albumin (MBSA) elicits a GT-specific IgG PFC response in vivo. Furthermore, injection of BALB/c mice with 10 to 100 mug of GT specifically decreases their ...

The increase in fuel price is constraining car manufacturers to produce highly efficient engines with more regulations in terms of pollutant emissions. The increasing complexity of modern engines has rendered the prototyping phase long and expensive. This is where engine modeling becomes in the recent years extremely useful and can be used as an indispensable tool when developing new engine con...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) has become an important measure in the diagnosis and monitoring of HCV infection treatment. In the United States (U.S.) HCV GT 1 is reported as the most common infecting GT among chronically infected patients. In Europe, however, recent studies have suggested that the epidemiology of HCV GTs is changing. METHODS We assessed HCV GT distribution ...

In the companion paper, the random copolymer of L-glutamic acids°-L-tyrosine" (GTf was shown to be unable to stimulate the formation of specific antibodies in 19 inbred and congenic resistant strains of mice (1). In several of these strains, however, GT complexed to methylated bovine serum albumin (GT-MBSA) was able to stimulate specific plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses . Furthermore, immuni...
