Avian influenza survivors' antibodies effective at neutralising H5N1 strain

...s used a new technique that allows them to rapidly reproduce human monoclonal antibodies starting from a small sample of blood. "We can't say for certain that a pandemic influenza virus will resemble the H5N1 strain that we have been studying or that the monoclonal antibodies generated using our technique w...

The mouflons of the Kerguelen archipelago

...ted populations, related individuals are likely to reproduce amongst themselves, resulting in inbreeding and homozygotes. The genetic variety of the population becomes impoverished and its evolutionary potential decreases. Furthermore, consanguinity is known to produce genetic diseases. The most heterozygous i...

Herpes virus hijacks DNA repair process

...hese mice with murine herpes virus, its ability to reproduce was again curtailed. How DNA damage response benefits viral replication is still a mystery and a topic of continuing investigation in the Virgin lab. "The discovery that induction of the cells' DNA damage response is an intentional viral strategy...

In mice, drug protects against diabetes and atherosclerosis

...in both mice and humans, the researchers sought to reproduce the effects of these genetic mutations through the development of drugs. Hotamisligil worked with Dr. Rex Parker at the Bristol-Myers Squibb Research Institute in Princeton, NJ, to develop an inhibitor of the aP2 protein. "There was no traditional...

The insect vector always bites twice

...ate host. The pathogenic agent finds conditions to reproduce and proliferate in the vector’s body. In most cases, the parasite moves back into the vector’s salivary glands in order to be transmitted to the human host when the insect bites again to take another blood meal. Morbidity among infected people is the...
