Transactivation and signaling functions of Tat are not correlated
... antibody titers in a large number of primary clinical samples (n = 200) collected from all four southern Indian states. Our analysis of the Indian populations demonstrated that Tat is non-immunodominant and that a large variation exists in the antigen-specific antibody titers. Conclusion: Our report ...

The age-dependent expression of the F18 E. coli receptor
... (FUT1M307A/A) showed no HBGA expression (91.7%) and no F18+ E. coli adherence (83.3%). In addition, it was found that F18R expression levels rise with increasing age during the first 3 weeks after birth and that F18R expression is maintained in older pigs (3–23 weeks old). Taken together, these data ...
