Various cell types can produce the chemokine CXCL10 in response to IFN-γ stimulation. CXCL10 is generally viewed as a proinflammatory chemokine that promotes recruitment of CD8÷ and Th1-type CD4÷ effector T cells to infected or inflamed nonlymphoid tissues. We show that CXCL10 plays a role during CD8÷ T cell priming in the mouse. Genome-wide expression profiling revealed the Cxcl10 gene as a ta...

The in vitro primary response of mouse spleen cell suspensions to 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl(Tnp)-erythrocytes has been studied. The number of anti-Tnp plaque-forming cells that arise after antigenic stimulation in vitro is greatly enhanced by prior immunization in vivo with the carrier erythrocyte. The enhancement is antigen specific. The priming for an enhanced response can be elicited with very lo...

Seed priming is a commercially successful practice, but reduced longevity of primed seeds during storage may limit its application. We established a series of experiments on rice to test: (1) whether prolonged storage of primed and non-primed rice seeds for 210 days at 25°C or -4°C would alter their viability, (2) how long primed rice seed would potentially remain viable at 25°C storage, and (3...

Power is accompanied by a sense of entitlement, which shapes reactions to self-relevant injustices. We propose that powerful people more strongly expect to be treated fairly and are faster to perceive unjust treatment that violates these expectations. After preliminary data demonstrated that power leads people to expect fair outcomes for themselves, we conducted four experiments. Participants p...

Presoaking seeds in water (hydropriming) or a solution, usually of polyethylene glycol (PEG) various salts at low potential (osmopriming), has been demonstrated to improve the germination numerous species including vegetables (carrot, celery, leek, lettuce, tomato), floral plants (cyclamen, primrose, pansy) and others (sugar beet, rape, soybean, sunflower). This treatment allows stricto sensu o...

A bstract Coherence violation is an interesting and counter-intuitive phenomenon in QCD. We discuss the circumstances under which occurs observables sensitive to soft radiation arrive at conclusion that almost all such hadron colliders will violate coherence some degree. illustrate our discussion by considering gaps-between-jets observable, where super-leading, then we generalise other observab...
