INTRODUCTION In January 2013, the National Reference Centre for Salmonella (NRC) detected a salmonellosis cluster in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, caused by uncommon O4 non-agglutinating, monophasic Salmonella (S.) Typhimurium DT193. Circulating predominant monophasic S. Typhimurium DT193 clones typically display resistance phenotype ASSuT. We investigated common exposures to control the outbreak, an...

To clarify the cause of the canine individual variability in plasma concentration after oral administration of GTS-21, we evaluated in vitro the metabolism to 4-OH-GTS-21 in liver microsomes of the same individuals from in vivo pharmacokinetic study. First, we applied to the Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters to a dispersion model, and compared hepatic availability (F(H)) and hepatic clearance...

Nano-particles of polycrystalline Zn Fe2 O4 are prepared using sol-gel method with Ni, and Sm. They are obtained as dried gel after the successful chemical reaction of their respective metal nitrate solutions in the midst of citric acid as catalyst. Synthesis of materials is confirmed using XRD from the report of single phase polycrystalline ferrite material. The magnetic properties of Zn-ferri...

We generalize the concept of cubic group into any dimension and derive their conjugate classifications and representation theorys. Double group and spinor representation are defined. A detailed calculation is carried out on the structures of four-dimensional cubic group O4 and its double group, as well as all inequivalent single-valued representations and spinor representations of O4. All repre...

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2 O4 ) nanoparticles have attracted significantly attentions for spintronics, recording media and bioapplications due to their unique magnetic and chemical properties. In this work, single phase CoFe2 O4 nanoparticles were synthesized at various coprecipitation temperatures (60, 80 and 90 °C) without post calcination. The effects of oleic acid as surfactant on the microstruc...

Scarce access to primary samples and lack of efficient protocols to generate oligodendrocytes (OLs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are hampering our understanding of OL biology and the development of novel therapies. Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of the transcription factor SOX10 is sufficient to generate surface antigen O4-positive (O4+) and myelin basic protein-positive ...

Nineteen of 28 strains of rumen organisms isolated from a cow on a high roughage diet and identified morphologically as butyrivibrios, reacted to a low agglutinin titer with salmonella antisera, forming five groups. However only one strain reacted with polyvalent O salmonella antiserum. This strain reacted with O4 factor serum and with antisera to Salmonella strains containing the antigen O4, a...

The fourth component of complement (C4) was found to incorporate radiolabel from [35S]O4 during synthesis in murine peritoneal macrophages and the human hepatoma-derived cell line, HepG2. The sulfate label was localized to the COOH-terminal autolytic fragment of the C4 alpha-chain. No label was seen associated with intracellular pro-C4. The structurally similar third and fifth components of com...
