- words: 5701
- flesch: 42
- summary: All ages seemed able to mount systemic, specific immune responses, but adult shrews showed some signs of lymphatic tissue exhaustion: lymphatic follicles in adults (n = 21) were both smaller than those in sub-adults (n = 18; Wald = 11.1, p<0.05) and exhibited greater levels of depletion (Wald = 13.3, p<0.05). This may allow older animals to react effectively to previously encountered parasites, but infection by novel agents, and eventual depletion of plasma cell reserves, could both still be factors in the near-synchronous mortality of adult shrews observed shortly after breeding.

- title: Small Interfering RNA Targeting M2 Gene Induces Effective and Long Term Inhibition of Influenza A Virus Replication
- date: 2009-05-22
- words: 3531
- flesch: 43
- summary: 1B showed that the siRNA NP-1496 could inhibit influenza virus replication, while siRNA NP-336 had no inhibition effect, which is consistent with the previous report [25] . In this study we found that siM2 not only decreased the level of M2 mRNA but also the level of NP mRNA, suggesting that siM2 has a broad inhibition manner in the process of influenza virus replication.

- summary: One major drawback of gammaretroviral vectors is the exclusive transduction of dividing cells, since in human gliomas, the majority of tumor cells do not divide within a given treatment window. LCMV-GP pseudotyped lentiviral vectors exclusively transduced tumor cells in all invasive areas ( Figure 4A ), while normal brain cells were not transduced ( Figure 4B,C) .

- summary: To evaluate the hypothesis that respondents' affective state (subjective anxiety, fatalism about infection) predicts protective measures, we include in the model demographic (age, gender), epidemiological (household size, number of contacts, survey day), and media (source of information on the outbreak) conditioning variables. To develop a measure for this, we cross-tabulated individual values of the protection index and affective status by survey day.

- summary: The mechanism of an exceptional case of reinitiation after translation of a long ORF reveals why such events do not generally occur in mammalian mRNA translation A bipartite sequence motif induces translation reinitiation in feline calicivirus RNA Expression of the ORF-2 protein of the human respiratory syncytial virus M2 gene is initiated by a ribosomal termination-dependent reinitiation mechanism Coupled translation of the respiratory syncytial virus M2 open reading frames requires upstream sequences Coupled translation of the second open reading frame of M2 mRNA is sequence dependent and differs significantly within the subfamily Pneumovirinae The importance of inter-and intramolecular base pairing for translation reinitiation on a eukaryotic bicistronic mRNA Characterization of the termination-reinitiation strategy employed in the expression of influenza B virus BM2 protein A dualluciferase reporter system for studying recoding signals Ribosome pausing and stacking during translation of a eukaryotic mRNA Dissociation of eIF1 from the 40S ribosomal subunit is a key step in start codon selection in vivo The eukaryotic translation initiation factors eIF1 and eIF1A induce an open conformation of the 40S ribosome Migration of 40S ribosomal subunits on messenger RNA in the presence of edeine Migration of 40S ribosomal subunits on messenger RNA when initiation is perturbed by lowering magnesium or adding drugs Mutational analysis of the RNA pseudoknot component of a coronavirus ribosomal frameshifting signal Mutational analysis of the 'slipperysequence' component of a coronavirus ribosomal frameshifting signal Generation of deletion and point mutations with one primer in a single cloning step Two-stage PCR protocol allowing introduction of multiple mutations, deletions and insertions using QuikChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis Structure-function analysis of the ribosomal frameshifting signal of two human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates with increased resistance to viral protease inhibitors Cleavage of structural proteins during the assembly of the head of bacteriophage T4 Characterization of the frameshift signal of Edr, a mammalian example of programmed -1 ribosomal frameshifting Distinct protein forms are produced from alternatively spliced bicistronic glutamic acid decarboxylase However, the substantial reintiation activity displayed by MNV49.7, an mRNA in which both AUGs were changed, indicates that non-AUG codons can act as reinitiation codons, although probably at reduced efficiency.

- summary: Such that eventually we may be able to predict viral emergence and develop vaccines against pandemic influenza viruses in advance of their spread. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: We conclude that strategies to prevent pandemic influenza virus emergence and spread in the future should include: 1) enhanced surveillance for strains resulting from reassortment in traded livestock; 2) rapid deployment of control measures in the initial spreading phase to countries where travel data predict the pathogen will reach and to countries where lower healthcare resources will likely cause delays in reporting.

- summary: Thus, to fully exploit the Ig repertoire of human B cells in an in vivo setting, we explored the possibility to raise mAbs following de novo induction of human B cell responses in mice carrying elements of the human immune system (HIS). Similarly to methods based on the immortalization of human memory B cells from individuals that were either vaccinated or exposed to pathogens, our strategy exploits the antibody repertoire of human B cells which is likely to be different from that of B cells of mice expressing human Ig gene segments.

These results suggest that the secondary structure of AtGUS-E has changed after deletion of non-conservative sequence.

In contrast, CD122 signaling appears to be important for NK cell migration to IL-15 as this receptor chain is down regulated on NK cells exposed to IL-15c in vivo ( Figure 3 ).

- summary: Supporting an initial pro-inflammatory role of astrocytes dependent on innate, not IFN-c responsiveness, inhibition of IFN-c signaling to astrocytes did not influence EAE onset or incidence, initial disease progression, astrocyte activation, or BBB integrity as indicated by similar entry of inflammatory cells into the brain. Therefore, astrocyte activation constitutes a ubiquitous, yet heteroge-neous response associated with both promoting and inhibiting CNS repair [3] [4] [5] .

- summary: It is interesting to note that, with the exception of only 8E9, the epitopes for all the Mabs that caused complete inhibition are located in the amino half of the PrP while those that caused incomplete inhibition are located in the carboxy half of PrP. There was good correlation between the extent of PrP Sc inhibition when 10 mg/ml Mab in cell culture was compared to 12 mg/ml Mab with sPMCA 40 . The PrP-specific Mabs that were evaluated for their ability to prevent PrP C to PrP Sc conversion have linear epitopes that span the entire prion protein from the amino to the carboxy terminus ( Table 1 , Fig. 1 ).

- summary: However, the epitope identified in REV gp90 protein has not been finely mapped, and the core sequence of the epitope needs to be determined. After being blocked with 5% skim milk in PBS overnight at 4uC, the membrane was incubated with mAb A9E8 (diluted 1:2,000 in PBS) or REV-A-positive chicken serum (diluted 1:100 in PBS) at 37uC for 1 h. After being washed three times with PBST, the membrane was probed with a 1:5,000 dilution of HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG To investigate the conservation of the epitope among REV viruses, sequence alignment of the epitope and the corresponding regions on gp90 proteins of 32 REV-A strains, one REV-T strain, four SNV strains and one CSV strain was performed using the DNASTAR Lasergene program (Windows version; DNASTAR Inc., Madison, WI, USA).

- summary: Another cytokine stimulated by the probiotic treatment was IL-10, which is a typical Th2 cytokine that is initially repressed in virus infected cells but then expressed at higher levels later in infection to control the initial inflammatory response to infection. The results obtained reveal an almost complete recovery of viability of SwIV infected cells and an inhibition of virus multiplication by up to four log units in the E. faecium treated cells.

- summary: In silico docking of MZP on the highly conserved active site of an open conformation homology model of HCE GTase domain provides additional information on the mechanism of MZP binding to this site ( Fig. S4 and Table S1 ). The protein concentration was determined by the Bio-Rad dye binding method and stored at 280uC. The amino acids 1-219 corresponding to HCE RTase domain (HCE-T 1-219 ) and 229-597 corresponding to HCE GTase domain (HCE-G 229-597 ) were also expressed separately using the same procedure.

The present study demonstrates that Csn8 deficiency compromises protein deneddylation, differentially downregulates substrate receptor proteins of CRLs, and selectively accumulates CRL substrates such as pro-apoptotic protein Bim, and reduces 19S proteasome subunit Rpt5, leading to severe UPS functional impairment and massive apoptosis in hepatocytes of intact mice.

- summary: The former relied on an implementation of DOCK's traditional hotspot-based graph matching [81, 82] which focused the search for complementary ligand orientations to the protein likely to lead to favorable fits, while the latter eliminated the need to build ligand conformations on the fly, especially useful when docking the same ligand to multiple proteins as the time is saved for additional screens beyond the first. Similarly we were concerned about the sampling of ligand conformations in the flexibase.

- summary: Collectively, this study reveals a possible association between VacA-induced apoptosis in gastric epithelial cells, and activation of ER stress in H. pylori-positive gastric mucosa. Infection with Helicobactor pylori (H. pylori) may result in chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, and gastric cancer The principal findings of this study indicate the following: (i) VacA induces ER stress in gastric epithelial cells, especially in the presence of NH 4 Cl, (ii) VacA-induced apoptosis is at least in part, dependent on activation of CHOP-mediated intracellular signaling, (iii) ER stress is responsible for induction of pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein Bim as well as Bax activation, and (iv) ER stress markers and BH3-only proteins are up-regulated in H. pylori infected-human gastric mucosa.

- summary: With this model, we simulated 30 years of influenza transmission and compared influenza transmission rates in populations with and without the one-child policy control. The strict onechild policy was introduced to compare influenza transmission rates with a hypothetical one-child policy to rates with an actual one-child policy, since two or more children are often allowed in rural areas and for ethnic minorities [4] ; the existing census data do not reflect the effects of truly restricting families to one child.

- summary: A comparative analysis of RSCU between CHIKV and its hosts showed that codon usage patterns of CHIKV are a mixture of coincidence and antagonism. Studies on codon usage have determined several factors that could influence codon usage patterns, including mutational pressure, natural or translational selection, secondary protein structure, replication and selective transcription, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of the protein and the external environment.

- summary: We administered a cross-sectional telephone survey to a representative sample (n = 443) of the Swedish adult population to examine whether self-reported intentions to improve personal hygiene and increase social distancing during influenza outbreaks could be explained by trust in official information, self-reported health (SF-8), sociodemographic factors, and determinants postulated in protection motivation theory, namely threat appraisal and coping appraisal. Protective behavior associated with influenza outbreaks has also been investigated with regard to general estimates of health status [15] , but few studies have used validated measures of self-rated health as a means for the sub categorization.

- summary: In the presence of 100 μg/mL PA or 20 μg/mL PGG in MRC5 cell cultures infected with HRV-2, the RNA replication levels were reduced by 30.1 and 14.3 fold, respectively, compared to the levels in the cell cultures without the compounds (Fig 4A) . The findings indicated that these constituents interfered with host cell protein expression of this receptor through inhibition of the receptor RNA expression or reduction of HRV replication.

- summary: In vitro selection of ssDNA aptamers specific for H1-HA1 rather than H5-HA1, and determination of binding affinity To select specific ssDNA aptamers that can distinguish H1-HA1 from H5-HA1, counter-SELEX was performed with an ssDNA library of 88-mers containing a randomized sequence region of 45 nucleotides in the center, followed by lambda exonuclease digestion, as shown in Fig 1A. Enrichment of selected ssDNA aptamers specific for H1-HA1 protein was assessed by ELISA on the basis of the interaction between H1-HA1 protein and biotinylated ssDNA aptamers. To confirm the selectivity of ssDNA aptamers, HEK293T cells were harvested with trypsin-EDTA, washed three times with 1 mL of PBS, added to a pre-incubated protein-aptamer complex of 100 μg GST-H1-HA1 protein and 8 μg FITC-labeled aptamer in PBS, and incubated at 4°C for 30 min.

Similar to studies investigating MVA as a smallpox vaccine, preclinical and clinical evaluation of MVA-vectored vaccines in development has relied predominantly on the use of intramuscular, intradermal or subcutaneous routes of MVA delivery.

In these overlapping areas R t values are likely to be lower as the farms that get the infection are shared by different foci.

- summary: The techniques for preparing and studying tooth enamel microstructure of large fossil mammals were described by [19] and are summarized here. Additionally, when studied under SEM, the enamel of NUFV2092B and 2092E has rounded prisms that open to one side and are surrounded by interprismatic matrix that is nearly parallel to the prisms, which also occurs in Coryphodon enamel, based on prior studies.

In this study, intratracheal hinokitiol administration reduced neutrophil infiltration and elastase release in the lungs of pneumonia mice, consequently diminishing lung injury and pneumococcal DNA detection in serum.

- summary: The correlation between high reward and performance was 0.125 in our study, and with this correlation we would have required a sample size of 247 to obtain a p-value below 0.05, if relying on a simple linear regression. While we cannot rule out the existence of a small positive effect of high rewards, our study reduces the prior belief one should have in the replicability of former, relatively large effect sizes, in either direction.

- summary: Within this window, pollen availability is typically not a limiting factor in kiwifruit due to male flowers having up to twice as many pollen grains than female flowers, and the anthers continued to dehisce over this four-hour period. These probabilities depend on the ratio of male to female flowers raised to the power of the preference, such that the movement of pollinators between flowers can be written as the following expressions: 1 À m f þ m � � d fraction on male flowers that move to a female flower ð4bÞ � ε fraction on female flowers that move to a female flower ð4cÞ � ε fraction on female flowers that move to a male flower ð4dÞ Values for strong preferences were used for the analyses in this paper, details are described in the Parameterization section.

- summary: The structure of the paper focuses first on deriving estimators for individual reproduction numbers, then on household reproduction numbers and finally on examples of pandemic influenza dynamics and measles. One approach to estimating household reproduction numbers is simply to switch perspective from individual to household, directly estimate the generation time distribution (times taken for one household to infect another) and incidence of infection of households, and apply the results of equations (9) or (12) to estimate reproduction number as a function of time, R * (t), or exponential growth rate, R * (r).

- summary: For influenza viruses, sensitivities of NP and OP swabs differed by both type and subtype: NP swabs were more sensitive than OP swabs for influenza B virus, while OP swabs were more sensitive than NP swabs for overall influenza A and 2009 H1N1 virus; there was no significant difference between swabs for H3N2 virus or the unsubtypable influenza A viruses. Previous studies evaluating NP and OP swabs in detecting influenza viruses found NP swabs to be more sensitive than OP swabs, but these studies used combined outcomes for influenza A and B viruses and did not analyze by influenza A subtypes [6, 16, 17] .

The larger fraction of CD8 + T cells expressing IFN-c (.20%) following inoculation with recombinant vaccinia virus encoding Gag, in comparison with the proportion of tetramer positive cells, is attributed to the massive in vivo expansion of Gag-activated CD8 + T cells reactive against several other Gag MHC I epitopes, besides the immunodominant H-2Kd-AMQMLKETI peptide-tetramer epitope complex.

- summary: Yet, at least one analytical case report has demonstrated that containment failure may result from simply opening isolation room doors [23] . Brief descriptions of each door-opening scenario are also included in Tables 1 and 2 . From a qualitative visual inspection of these images, it can be clearly seen that the single-doors produce less disturbance than the double-doors, and sliding doors produce far less air exchange than hinged-doors, i.e. single-sliding,double-sliding,single-hinged,double-hinged, when the doors are graded in terms of the potential for their door-opening motion to induce bulk air flow movement across the doorways.

- summary: For purposes of analyses, we divided the sample using a median split, creating two groups: those who had lower perceived effectiveness of the NPI measures (score range: 1-3.99; 47.3% of the sample) and those who had higher perceived effectiveness (score range: 4.00-5.00; 52.7% of the sample). However, little is known about public perceptions of the effectiveness of these measures, and high perceived effectiveness is likely to be critical in order to achieve widespread adoption of NPI.

- summary: Returning to the fact that our sample, while representative in terms of gender and age, is somewhat skewed towards highly educated people (see Table 2 ), these segment-specific estimation results imply that our aggregate level estimates for society's weighing of various policy impacts of exit strategies is likely to somewhat underestimate the weight attached to fatalities and to somewhat overestimate the weight attached to other policy impacts such as physical and mental injuries, educational advantage, and income loss. With a view to exploring potential causes behind differences in weights attached to fatalities and other policy impacts, we estimated a series of two-class latent class models, where class membership was determined by respondents' perceived risk that they or a relative would contract COVID-19, would become severely ill if having contracted the virus, would be hospitalized if contracting the virus, or would die if contracting the virus.

- summary: Although pro-inflammatory factor COX-2 has been identified as an obligatory mediator in the airway inflammation during influenza virus infection [26] , virtually little is currently known regarding the regulation of a newly identified proinfammatory factor IL-32 in influenza A virus infection or the mechanism whereby influenza A virus upregulates IL-32 expression. Interestingly, we found that COX-2-associate PGE(2) production activated by influenza virus infection was significantly suppressed by over-expression of IL-32 but increased by IL-32-specific siRNA, suggesting there was a feedback mechanism between IL-32 and COX-2.

- summary: Three of them were long-lasting outbreaks with multiple clusters for more than 6 months, which suggested that an accurate identification of how pathogens spread was a fundamental step in outbreak control. Forming a local support network between acute hospitals and LTCFs at a regional level would be a potential way to close the gaps and to enhance outbreak control practices in LTCFs without adequate capacity [74] .

The proposed tools were applied to pandemic incidence data consisting of daily counts of new infections, from several databases providing data either worldwide on an aggregated percountry basis or, for France only, based on the sole hospital counts, spread across the French territory. This calls for a triplet of constraints: i) robust access to fast-collected data; ii) semi-parametric models for such data that focus on a subset of critical parameters; iii) estimation procedures that are both elaborated enough to yield robust estimates, and versatile enough to be used on a daily basis and applied to (often-limited in quality and quantity) available data.

- summary: Design all 16/18mer peptides with an overlap of 8 aa residues covering the full-length of the target protein or a longer segment sequence for the first round of antigenic peptide mapping, as well as design a set of 8mer peptides with overlapping 7 aa residues and covering each reactive 16/18mer peptide sequence for the second round of precise BCE motif identification. In order to know how many BCEs are there among three neighboring reactive 18mer-peptides of P32-34 (Fig 4A and 4B) , which were blotted in first round of antigenic peptide mapping in our study on epitome decoding of huZP4 protein, we first expressed a set of 8mer-peptides (P110-120) covering the full-length sequence of reactive P32 according to procedures of steps 1 to 8 in the protocol, and then they were subjected to SDS-PAGE, and transferred onto 0.2 μm nitrocellulose membrane.

- summary: It has been suggested this may be due to immune modulation by these organisms, in infants resulting in increased risk of asthma development in later life [13] . Using 16s rRNA gene sequencing of respiratory samples from children presenting to hospital with acute wheezing, this study aimed to examine whether the bacterial community in the airways of children with acute respiratory wheeze was altered compared with that of nonwheezing children. Significant differences in Shannon-Weiner and inverse Simpsons were observed in those that required oxygen and those that had ever attended kindergarten.

- summary: Since the frameshifting of IBV generates RNA dependent RNA polymerase, which is critical for successful viral replication, the protein that inhibits frameshifting must be a major antiviral regulator in eukaryotic cells. Since translation is a complex process involving many regulatory factors in addition to the ribosome, binding of RNA binding protein (RBP) at a nearby RNA signal could affect RNA conformation and somehow redirect the translational machinery

- summary: Because widely distributed RNA structures along an open reading-frame [28] are unwound and refolded repeatedly during translation, the involvement of refolding RNA hairpins in the regulation of translational elongation may be more common than first thought. As E site sequences can affect the potency of downstream stimulators [12, 13] , we ask whether the potency of attenuators can be affected by either proximal E site sequences or downstream stimulators.

- summary: In a recent study Hogan and co-workers made a similar observation while assessing the utility of pooled sample testing strategy to detect community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA. At the reported point prevalence of 4.8% among the individuals tested in this study, the NPV of pooled sample strategy was around 96%; thereby suggesting the possibility of missing infected cases and risking community transmission from undiagnosed individuals.

- summary: In order to improve the functional interactions between the hIgM and bIgα/ Igβ proteins in the pre-BCR, as well as the overall functionality of hIgM in Tc bovine B cells, we constructed a gene-targeting vector to bovinize the CH2-TM2 domain of hIgM that is involved in interacting with bIgα/Igβ [18] . To detect surface hIgG on Tc bovine B cells, goat anti-hIgG (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) directly labeled with AF 488 was used.

However, during the long-term course of the pandemic, this urban advantage vanishes and large cities start to exhibit higher incidence of cases and deaths, such that every 1% rise in population is associated with a 0.14% increase in the number of fatalities per capita after about four months since the first two daily deaths.

- summary: Expression of IFITM1, 2 and 3 reduced virus infectivity in Vero cells, with IFITM2 and IFITM3 having an impact on viral entry/uncoating. The role of IFITM2 in the inhibition of ASFV in Vero cells could be related to impaired endocytosis-mediated viral entry and alterations in the cholesterol efflux, suggesting that IFITM2 is acting at the late endosome, preventing the decapsidation stage of ASFV.

- summary: The strongest predictor of testing was having COVID symptoms among members of the household, of whom about 16.5% were tested, compared to 2.1% among those without COVID symptoms among household members (OR = 6.63, 4.46- A nationally representative survey of Canadians finds that about 8% of adults report that they or someone in their household reported symptoms suggestive of COVID in March 2020. Here, we report on the results of the first nationally-representative poll in Canada of selfreported COVID symptoms conducted by the Angus Reid Forum in early April 2020 covering symptoms reported mostly in March 2020, prior to the peak month of test-reported cases in April.

- summary: It can be hypothesized that this stronger TSLP response after viral coinfection bronchiolitis, could stimulate a vigorous production of Th2-associated effector cytokines, such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, as was reported in asthmatic adults by Ying et al, that could be associated with higher frequency of wheezing and asthma development later on [31] . In conclusion, asthma at the age of 6-8 is more frequent and severe in those children previously hospitalized with viral coinfection bronchiolitis compared with those with single infection.

On day 1, CD200R1 2/2 brains had significantly lower levels of IFN-b than CD200R1 +/+ mice ( Figure 4D ).

The positive effects of these factors likely contribute towards the reason why country-level information was useful for risk classification earlier in the pandemic, but are less-so later on post-peak.

- flesch: 39
- summary: Wild hyenas are regularly observed feeding on carcasses from which lions, jackals, and vultures, have also fed, and wild hyenas often engage in fierce battles with other carnivores. Our results show that wild hyenas have significantly higher serum antibody concentrations, including total IgG and IgM, natural antibodies, and autoantibodies than do captive hyenas; there was no difference in the bacterial killing capacity of sera collected from captive and wild hyenas.

- summary: A set of indicators and mathematical models are introduced that aim to quantitatively describe changes in crime levels in comparison to what could otherwise be expected, and what might be expected by way of adaptation and subsequent resumption of those patterns. To overcome this violation of assumption we propose indicators that take account of the difference between crime levels under two scenarios: with and without the disrupting event (Eq 5): where, D(n) is the difference between Y F (n) and Y A (n), the forecasted crime (under normal conditions) and actual crime time-series (daily crime counts), and n is the (temporal) index of the time-series.

Discrepancies between ongoing surveillance through notifications and surveillance through typing and the outcome of the prioritization procedure should be interpreted with caution since there might be good reasons for not having surveillance for the pathogens in the highest priority group or for having surveillance for pathogens in the low priority group.

- date: 2012-06-29
- words: 11154
- flesch: 47
- summary: Assembly of this comprehensive collection of biothreat cluster primers into a single assay on the PLEX-ID has the potential to serve a variety of biosecurity needs. Coupling biothreat cluster-specific PCR to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry simultaneously provides the breadth of coverage, discrimination of near neighbors, and an extremely low false positive rate due to the requirement that an amplicon with a precise base composition of a biothreat agent be detected by mass spectrometry. Technology for detecting biothreat agents requires accurate identification of a broad array of bacterial and viral organisms that can cause severe disease and/or death, whether they occur as a result of a biological attack or from a natural source in the environment.

Irg1 was classified to the cluster of genes whose expression is mostly dependent on Irf1, but less on IFNγ However, taking the side of the discussion that human macrophages do not express iNOS, IRF1 plays a crucial role in mediating antimicrobial responses through IRG1 gene regulation in human immune cells.

- summary: Manufacturing of both the CAF01 adjuvants, IPV vaccines and IPV-CAF01 vaccines was performed in LAF units. Monovalent IPV showed a slightly negative zeta potential (2 13 mV), whereas the adjuvanted IPV-CAF01 vaccine showed a positive zeta potential of 54 mV. Therefore, in IPV vaccines formulated with CAF01, a binding between antigen and adjuvant is electrostatically favorable.
