The understanding of an image deals with the consideration of the most banal information conveyed by each pattern. A crucial anchor for facial expression analysis is to consider not only permanent features but transient ones too. In this work we are interested by all the outcomes of transient features in the analysis of facial expressions. Three processes based on transient features are propose...

Results of transient-expression studies have suggested a correlation between tissue-specific pathogenicity of murine leukemia viruses and the relative transcriptional activities of their long terminal repeats in various cell types. To test whether transient-expression ratios are representative of those of integrated proviruses, we developed a system for generation of retroviral transmission vec...

background the hepatitis b virus x (hbx) protein has long been recognized as an important transcriptional transactivator of several genes. human aldo-keto reductase family 1, member c1 (akr1c1), a member of the family of akr1cs, is significantly increased in hbx-expressed cells. objectives this study aimed to investigate the possible mechanism of hbx in regulating akr1c1 expression in hepg2.2.1...

a number of innocent rashes occurs in neonates. they are usually transient and self limited and thus require no therapy but early recognition is important to distinguish these lesions from more serious disorders. in this study, our purpose was to determine the frequency of birthmarks in iranian neonates. the presence of various types of birthmarks was determined in 503 iranian neonates under 72...

In the molecular farming area, transient expression approaches for pharmaceutical proteins production, mainly recombinant monoclonal antibodies and vaccines, were developed almost two decades ago and, to date, these systems basically depend on Agrobacterium-mediated delivery and virus expression machinery. We survey here the current state-of-the-art of this research field. Several vectors have ...

Transient expression is a rapid, useful approach for producing proteins of interest in plants. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-based transient expression vectors can express very high levels of foreign proteins in plants. However, TMV vectors are, in general, not efficiently delivered to plant cells by agroinfection. It was determined that agroinfection was very efficient with a 35S promoter-driven ...
