Evaluation of a Native Preparation of HCV Core Protein (2-122) For Potential Applications in Immunization, Diagnosis and Mab Production
Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a worldwide problem.Among HCV proteins, core antigen read more (Ag), besides its importance for diagnostic application is a prime candidate for component of a vaccine.Herein, we report results of studies on production of the hydrophilic domain of core Ag (2-122) in native conformation by an arabinose induct
Direct and indirect effects of different types of microplastics on freshwater prey (Corbicula fluminea) and their predator (Acipenser transmontanus).
We examined whether environmentally relevant concentrations of different types of microplastics, with or without PCBs, directly affect freshwater prey and indirectly affect their predators.Asian click here clams (Corbicula fluminea) were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene, polyvinylc
