compositions of biotite from three different rock types of mashhad granitoids, i.e., granodiorite, monzogranite and leucogranite in ne of iran have been documented by electron microprobe and wet chemistry for fe3+ and fe2+. mashhad granitoids have been geochronologically and petrologically grouped into g1 and g2 phases. microprobe data show that the total fe contents in biotite from g2 leucogra...

Epitope Tagging of Strains Regulators were tagged by inserting multiple copies of the Myc epitope coding sequence into the normal chomosomal loci of these genes. The plasmid pWZV88 (1) was used as a template to generate PCR products containing the Myc epitope coding sequence and a selectable marker (TRP) flanked by homologous regions designed to recombine at the 3’ end of the targeted transcrip...

We describe three recombinant engineered antibodies against three recombinant epitope tags, constructed with divalent binding arms to recognize divalent epitopes and so achieve high affinity and specificity. In two versions, an epitope is inserted in tandem into a protein of interest, and a homodimeric antibody is constructed by fusing a high-affinity epitope-binding domain to a human or mouse ...

Antigen-induced peripheral tolerance is potentially one of the most efficient and specific therapeutic approaches for autoimmune diseases. Although highly effective in animal models, antigen-based strategies have not yet been translated into practicable human therapy, and several clinical trials using a single antigen or peptidic-epitope in multiple sclerosis (MS) yielded disappointing results....

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the influence of hydrofluoric acid (HF) contamination on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) during dental repair procedures before and after application different dentin adhesives (Optibond FL Optibond XTR). Materials methods Thirty-five human molars were ground down into randomly divided seven groups (G1-G7; n = 5), G1 G2 being control groups. Only in test (G3-G7) s...

The HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Env) gp120 and gp41 mediate entry and are the targets for neutralizing antibodies. Within gp41, a continuous epitope defined by the broadly neutralizing antibody 2F5, is one of the few conserved sites accessible to antibodies on the functional HIV Env spike. Recently, as an initial attempt at structure-guided design, we transplanted the 2F5 epitope onto several...

The HER-2/neu oncogene has >25 HLA epitopes, yet only one FVB/N mouse CD8(+) T-cell epitope has been mapped to date. This epitope has been termed the immunodominant epitope for the FVB/N mouse, but we propose that the vaccination strategy determines the dominance of epitopes. Using a series of overlapping peptides, we have mapped another CD8(+) T-cell epitope that emerges in the FVB/N mouse fol...

This study aims to provide information and theoretical support for the development planning of facility agriculture in desert areas. Using sensor monitoring, USB cable, computer connection record, we measured temperature, humidity, heat transfer distribution ordinary brick wall greenhouse (G1), composite (G2), assembled solar (G3) Aksu area Xinjiang. The results showed that G3 had highest avera...
