PURPOSE To examine the acquisition of lytic activity and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) production by herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursors (HSV-CTLps) after exposure to in vitro HSV-1-infected fibroblasts derived from the immunoprivileged cornea (HSV-cFb) or nonprivileged skin (HSV-sFb) or to in vitro HSV-1-infected splenocytes (HSV-Spls) obtained fr...

It has been proved that the gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI), mainly exists in Rosaceae and Solanaceae, is controlled by S genes, which are two tightly linked genes located at highly polymorphic S-locus: the S-RNase for pistil specificity and the F-box gene (SFB/SLF) for pollen specificity, respectively. However, the roles of those genes in SI of peach are still a subject of extensive de...

Duncan Dowson, whom this issue commemorates, was a world leader in the field of biotribology, with prolific contributions both fluid-based and boundary lubrication biological tissues, particular articular cartilage, central biotribology due to its importance for joint homeostasis. Here we explore further cartilage lubrication, which has been attributed phospholipid (PL)-exposing layers at surfa...

In this article we summarize the development of a unified platform for treating the entire range of geometric preprocessing tasks that preceded the wind tunnel readings and the numerical simulations performed in the collaborative research center SFB 401. In particular, this includes the automated generation of the CAD models which were used for manufacturing multi-parted wing-fuselage configura...
