As an alternative brucellosis prevention method, we evaluated the immunogenicity induced by new multivalent DNA vaccines in BALB/c mice. We constructed the vaccines by fusion of BAB1_0273 and/or BAB1_0278 open reading frames (ORFs) from genomic island 3 (GI-3) and the Brucella abortus 2308 sodC gene with a link based on prolines and alanines (pV273-sod, pV278-sod, and pV273-278-sod, resp.). Res...

Classes of multivalent functions analogous to certain classes of univalent starlike functions are defined and studied. Estimates on coefficients and distortion are made, using a variety of techniques. 1. Let St denote the class of all functions/(z) = z + . . . analytic, univalent and starlike in the unit disc U. Such functions satisfy the condition Re(z/'(z)//(z)) >0,zGU. The problem of definin...

Preliminary studies indicated that the potent insecticidal lectin, Gleheda, from the leaves of Glechoma hederacea (ground ivy) preferentially agglutinates human erythrocytes carrying the Tn (GalNAcalpha1-Ser/Thr) antigen. However, no details have been reported yet with respect to the fine specificity of the lectin. To corroborate the molecular basis of the insecticidal activity and physiologica...

Abstract In the present investigation, with help of certain higher-order q -derivatives, some new subclasses multivalent -starlike functions which are associated Janowski defined. Then, interesting results, for example, radius problems and results related to distortion, derived. We also derive a sufficient condition coefficient inequalities our defined function classes. Some known consequences ...

The development of carbon materials with desirable textures and new aqueous electrolytes is the key strategy to improve performance supercapacitors. Herein, a deep eutectic solvent (DES) was used for in situ templating material. A material characterized (XRD, N2-physisorption, FTIR, SEM EDS) as an electrode first time multivalent-based In performed using novel DES, which serves precursor genera...

As charged macromolecules adsorb and diffuse on cell membranes in a large variety of cell signaling processes, they can attract or repel oppositely charged lipids. This results in lateral membrane rearrangement and affects the dynamics of protein function. To address such processes quantitatively we introduce a dynamic mean-field scheme that allows self-consistent calculations of the equilibriu...

BACKGROUND Cationic liposome (CL)-DNA complexes are promising gene delivery vectors with potential application in gene therapy. A key challenge in creating CL-DNA complexes for application is that their transfection efficiency (TE) is adversely affected by serum. In particular, little is known about the effects of a high serum content on TE, even though this may provide design guidelines for ap...
