Abstract

The classification of the RT1.A phenotypes of a large number of inbred and congenic strains of rats, including those prototypic for all of the known RT1.A phenotypes, was done by examining the reactivity of a variety of unabsorbed antisera with cells of the different strains. The data were analysed by the techniques of numerical taxonomy without reference to the previous classification by the classical serological methods. The most effective way of analysing the data was the use of the Jaccard correlation coefficient and the average linkage method of statistical analysis. Four conclusions were drawn from this study. First, the RT2 antigens must be matched in the donor and recipient pair used to raise the anti-RT1 (MHC) antiserum or spurious typing results can occur due to the presence of anti-RT2 antibodies. Second, using anti-RT1 antisera raised in RT2 compatible pairs of rats, the classification of inbred and congenic strains into the RT1.A phenotypes on the basis of classical serological studies was confirmed. Third, two groups of closely related RT1.A phenotypes were found (a, f, d and b, m). Fourth, the AUG and PVG strains, both of which carry the the RT1.Ac phenotype, are quite distantly related on the basis of this taxon...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
