Immune responses, therapeutic anti-tumor effects, and tolerability upon therapeutic HPV16/18 E6/E7 DNA vaccination via needle-free biojector

ABSTRACT Intramuscular vaccination of mice with the naked pBI-11 DNA plasmid targeting E6 and E7 of HPV16 and HPV18 via a conventional syringe and needle generates human papillomavirus (HPV) antigen-specific CD8+ T cell-mediated immune responses and therapeutic effects against the TC-1 tumor model.However, delivery of DNA vaccines by this method is

Probability of disease extinction and outbreak in a stochastic tuberculosis model with fast-slow progression and relapse

A stochastic continuous-time Markov chain tuberculosis model with fast-slow progression and relapse is established to HEALTHY HEART CARDIOTALITY explore the impact of the demographic variation on TB transmission.At first, the extinction threshold and probability of the disease extinction and outbreak are obtained by applying the multitype Galton-Wa

Mapping the sensory perception of apple using descriptive sensory evaluation in a genome wide association study.

Breeding apples is a long-term endeavour and it is imperative that new cultivars are selected to have outstanding consumer appeal.This study has taken the approach of merging sensory science with genome wide association analyses in order to map the human perception of apple flavour and texture onto the apple genome.The goal was to identify genomic
