The effect of the pathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana, on the invasion and proliferation of the entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis indica, in larvae of the waxmoth, Galleria mellonella, was investigated. ...

Some (perhaps all) plant viruses transmitted in a circulative manner by their insect vectors avoid destruction in the haemolymph by interacting with GroEL homologues, ensuring transmission. We have previously shown that ...

For the detection of microbial plant pathogens, like fungi, bacteria, viruses and viroids, methods based on nucleic acids have gained importance as the availability of sequence information increased. This requires ...

The expression of immune checkpoint molecules such as programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) on the surface of cancer cells and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) on the ...

The monoclonal antibody 7E11-C5.3 was the first anti-PSMA antibody to be developed. It recognizes a PSMA intracellular epitope, is radio-labeled and used to detect early recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer. The ...

The glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin is frequently used as the drug of choice for the treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA has been reported to cause severe life ...

C-reactive protein is a non-specific indicator of inflammation. The CRP test is useful in evaluating patients with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The level of CRP correlates with peak levels of the CK-MB isoenzyme, ...

A facile and versatile method for the preparation of cyanoguanidines from amines and isothiocyanates via a methylation, cyanamide treatment sequence is described.

A new class of cyanoguanidine derivatives bearing a tryptamine moiety was prepared by a three-step reaction sequence. The preparation of the starting materials and characterization of the intermediates are also described.
