Human cancer chemotherapy is limited by two major problems: the failure of commonly used anticancer drugs to act against tumor cells in a specific manner and the ability of malignant cells to resist killing by antineoplastic agents. Experimentally, both of

The conserved UL16 tegument protein of herpes simplex virus exhibits dynamic capsid-binding properties with a release mechanism that is triggered during initial virus attachment events. In an effort to understand the capsid association and subsequent release of UL16, we sought

Intravenous infusions of glucose and amino acids increase both nitrogen balance and muscle accretion. We hypothesised that co-infusion of glucose (to stimulate insulin) and essential amino acids (EAA) would act additively to improve nitrogen balance by decreasing muscle protein degradation

Secondary diversification of the Ig repertoire occurs through somatic hypermutation (SHM), gene conversion (GCV), and class switch recombination (CSR)-three processes that are initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). AID targets Ig genes at orders of magnitude higher than the rest
