Host Tissue and Glycan Binding Specificities of Avian Viral Attachment Proteins Using Novel Avian Tissue Microarrays
The initial interaction between viral attachment proteins and the host cell is a critical determinant for the susceptibility of a host for a particular virus. To increase our understanding of avian pathogens and the susceptibility of poultry species, we developed novel avian tissue microarrays (TMAs). Tissue binding profiles of avian viral attachment proteins were studied by performing histoche...
متن کاملUnlocking Keys for XML Trees
We review key constraints in the context of XML as introduced by Buneman et al. We show that one of the proposed inference rules is not sound in general, and the axiomatisation proposed for XML keys is incomplete even if key paths are simple. Therefore, the axiomatisation and also the implication problem for XML keys are still unsolved. We propose a set of inference rules that is indeed sound a...
متن کاملGlycan and lectin biosensors
A short description about the importance of glycan biorecognition in physiological (blood cell type) and pathological processes (infections by human and avian influenza viruses) is provided in this review. Glycans are described as much better information storage media, compared to proteins or DNA, due to the extensive variability of glycan structures. Techniques able to detect an exact glycan s...
متن کاملEncouragement and empowerment: unlocking the keys to excellence.
Today’s health care environment demands enormous amounts of energy and diligence, regardless of clinical setting: acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, community-based agencies, home, or hospice care. Health work environments that channel their energy to foster encouragement and empowerment by their nurses bear witness to quality excellence and successful patient care outcomes. In fa...
متن کاملLectin Domains of Polypeptide GalNAc Transferases Exhibit Glycopeptide Binding Specificity*
UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide α-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GalNAc-Ts) constitute a family of up to 20 transferases that initiate mucin-type O-glycosylation. The transferases are structurally composed of catalytic and lectin domains. Two modes have been identified for the selection of glycosylation sites by GalNAc-Ts: confined sequence recognition by the catalytic domain alone, and concerted r...
