Effect of peptide stimulation and simultaneous 2B4 cross-linking on the expansion of HCV-specific CD8+ T cells in patients with chronic hepatitis C. by Verena Schlaphoff (220564)

“…Cross-linking of 2B4 resulted in an increased frequency of HCV-specific CD8+ T cells in those samples with low 2B4 expression <i>ex vivo</i>, while for those samples with high expression no increase or even a decrease of proliferation was observed.</p>…”

Prediction of genetic gains with selection between and within S2 progenies of papaya using the REML/Blup analysis by Tamiris Pereira da Silva (4719105)

“…<div><p>Abstract: The objective of this work was to predict the genetic gains with selection of superior individuals within papaya (Carica papaya) progenies using the REML/Blup analysis. Thirty-six S2 progenies, originated from the Calimosa and Tainung 1 hybrids, and two commercial control checks were evaluated in a randomized complete block design, with four replicates. …”

NUTRITIONAL VALUE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF ELEPHANT GRASS SILAGE WITH DIFFERENT PROPORTIONS OF COFFE HULLS by Adauto Ferreira Barcelos (5163566)

“…<p></p><p>Abstract We evaluated the nutritional value and the bromatological characteristics of elephant grass (EG) silages, cut at 70 days of regrowth, adding four levels of coffee hulls (1-EG; 2-EG + 10%; 3-EG + 20%; and 4-EG + 30%). A randomized block design with four treatments and six replicates was used. …”

Estimating Metabolic Fluxes Using a Maximum Network Flexibility Paradigm by Wout Megchelenbrink (523390)

“…By mapping measured flux data from central metabolism to the genome-scale models of <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> we show that i) indeed, most of the measured fluxes agree with a high adaptability of the network, ii) this result can be used to further reduce the space of feasible solutions iii) this reduced space improves the quantitative predictions made by FBA and contains a significantly larger fraction of the measured fluxes compared to the flux space that was reduced by a uniform sampling approach and iv) MMF can be used to select reactions in the network that contribute most to the steady-state flux space. …”

Unique challenges required reassessment and alterations to critical reagents to rescue a neutralizing antibody assay by Blake A Rowe (19589318)

“…</p> <p><b>Results & conclusion:</b> A larger dynamic range, high inhibition and higher drug tolerance were achieved by adding an acid dissociation step to the assay, performing atypical biotin labeling of Drug 1 and switching to a detection target that contained an Fc linker to increase steric hinderance and decrease its binding affinity to Drug 1.…”
