Inhibition of Adaptive Immune Responses Leads to a Fatal Clinical Outcome in SIV-Infected Pigtailed Macaques but Not Vervet African Green Monkeys

Li, Ming; Tang, Haili; Montefiori, David (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2009)

African green monkeys (AGM) and other natural hosts for simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) do not develop an AIDS-like disease following SIV infection. To evaluate differences in the role of SIV-specific adaptive immune ...
Inhibition of pulmonary fibrosis in mice by CXCL10 requires glycosaminoglycan binding and syndecan-4

Jiang, Dianhua; Liang, Jiurong; Guo, Rishu; Xie, Ting; Liu, Ningshan; Jung, Yoosun; Meltzer, Dr Eric; Li, Yuejuan; Noble, Paul (AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2010)

Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive, dysregulated response to injury culminating in compromised lung function due to excess extracellular matrix production. The heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-4 is important in ...
Inkless Microcontact Printing on SAMs of Boc- and TBS-Protected Thiols

Shestopalov, Alexander A.; Toone, Eric John (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2010)

We report a new inkless catalytic mu CP technique that achieves accurate, Fast, and complete pattern reproduction on SAMS of Boc- and TBS-protected thiols immobilized on gold using a polyurethane-acrylate stamp functionalized ...
Inline holographic coherent anti-Stokes Raman microscopy

Choi, Kerkil; Horisaki, Ryoichi; Brady, David (OPTICAL SOC AMER, 2010)

We demonstrate a simple approach for inline holographic coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy, in which a layer of uniform nonlinear medium is placed in front of a specimen to be imaged. The reference ...
