which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Actually, in literature, it is known that HLA-DQ2 haplo-type is over-represented in celiac population and since both HBsAg protein fragments and gliadin peptides bind to HLA-DQ2 molecules; their competition may favors a defective antibody response against the recombinant H...

background: the most important virulence factor which plays a central role in candida albicans pathogenesis is the ability of this yeast to alternate between unicellular yeast and filamentous hyphal forms. efg1 protein is thought to be the main positive regulating transcription factor, which is responsible for regulating hyphal-specific gene expression under most conditions. als3 is one of the ...

onset of the seizures are quite variable in CD as the duration of gluten exposure is important 1 and a correlation can be found between the duration of the disease preceding the diagnosis (and treatment) and neurological findings as detected even years after the diagnosis. 11,12 The two conditions may coexist for a prolong period of time before the actual clinical manifestations which may be ti...

Introduction: Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is an IORT technique in which electron beams with different nominal energies are used for irradiation of microscopic residual of tumor bed after surgery. Application of a shielding disk, which is positioned under the target volume, for protecting the normal tissues such as pectoral muscle, lung, and heart is one of the a...

A series of yeast shuttle vectors and host strains has been created to allow more efficient manipulation of DNA in Saccharomyces cereuisiae. Transplacement vectors were constructed and used to derive yeast strains containing nonreverting his3, trpl , leu2 and ura3 mutations. A set of YCp and YIP vectors (pRS series) was then made based on the backbone of the multipurpose plasmid pBLUESCRIPT. Th...
