Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections result in large economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. The organism causes diarrhea by adhering to and colonizing enterocytes in the small intestines. While much progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis of ETEC, no homologous intestinal epithelial cultures suitable for studying porcine ETEC pathogenesis have been descr...

In this study it was shown that the O101 lipopolysaccharide isolated from Escherichia coli B41 did not contain an O-specific polysaccharide and that its sugar moiety is probably restricted to the core oligosaccharide. It is characterized by the presence of galactose, glucose, N-acetylglucosamine, heptose and 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid and the fatty acid composition is typical of an Ente...

We previously demonstrated that butyric acid, an extracellular metabolite from periodontopathic bacteria, induces cytotoxicity and apoptosis in murine thymocytes, splenic T cells, and human Jurkat T cells. In this study, we used a cell-to-cell interaction system to examine the contribution of gingival fibroblasts to the regulation of T-cell death induced by butyric acid. Butyric acid slightly s...

We show that the unimodular lattice associated to the rank 20 quaternionic matrix group SL2(F41)⊗ S̃3 ⊂ GL80(Z) is a fourth example of an 80-dimensional extremal lattice. Our method is to use the positivity of the Θ-series in conjunction with an enumeration of all the norm 10 vectors. The use of Aschbacher’s theorem on subgroups of finite classical groups (reliant on the classification of finite...

Kazakhstan's export relies heavily on oil and other natural resources. Therefore, fluctuations in world prices have important consequences for economy. The effect of the real exchange rate is very economies trying to develop sectors as well gas such Kazakhstan. purpose this study examine possible asymmetric relationships between effective Kazakhstan period January 2010-December 2020. For purpos...

abstract this study investigates the impact of housing and non- housing investment on the iran's gross domestic production (gdp) using quarterly data from 1370-1 to 1386-4. considering that iran has an open economy and that the net export plays an important role in gdp fluctuations, this research focuses on the difference between the effects of residential and non-residential investment in open...
