Glycodelin-A As The Regulator Of CD8+ T-Lymphocyte Activity : Implications In Primate Pregnancy
(2015-01-02)The ability of our immune system to mount a response against non-self-antigens legitimates the semi-allogenic fetus as a target for maternal immune attack. Yet, in a normal pregnancy the fetus stays well protected due to ... -
gp120 Immunogen Design And Characterization
(2011-10-21)HIV-1 is the causative agent for AIDS and has been a major focus of research for the past two decades. Though there is a combination therapy in place known as the “Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy” (HAART), its ... -
Ground-dwelling arthropods across human land use: Interpreting the spatial and temporal dimensions of beta diversity
This study investigates beta diversity and its partitions to quantify the influence of different processes that drive spatial and temporal variation in ground-dwelling arthropod assemblages. First, ant assemblages across ... -
Guanylyl Cyclase C Regulation And Pathophysiology
(2015-02-26)The survival of the any living organism depends on its availability to communicate, and a breakdown of cellular signaling can have dire consequences such as uncontrolled cellular proliferations or even cell death. Environmental ... -
Habitat Acoustics And Microhabitat Selection In An Ensiferan Assemblage Of A Tropical Evergreen Forest │
(2013-08-29)Several animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, communicate using sound and they do so in a non-ideal medium, the habitat in which they live. As acoustic signals pass through the habitat, they suffer loss of information ... -
Heat Shock Protein 70 Of Plasmodium Falciparum: Proteomic Analysis Of Its Complexes And Cellular Functions
(Indian Institute Of Science, 2004-10)Hest shock protein 70 (Hsp70) class of chaperones is highly conserved and present ubiquitously in all cellular organisms They play important role in folding of nascent polypeptides and translocation of precursor proteins ... -
Helicobacter Pylori Restriction-Modification Systems : Possible Roles Beyond Genome Protection
(2013-06-06)Helicobacter pylori is one of the most potential and successful human pathogen which colonizes atleast 50% of world population. One of the important characteristics of this pathogen is the degree of allelic diversity and ... -
HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 immunogen design
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) is the aetiologic agent of AIDS. Presently there are ~38 million HIV-1 infected individuals worldwide and ~1 million deaths in 2019. Since its discovery, the quest for vaccine candidate ... -
HIV-1 Immunogen Design : Envelope Protein Minimization, Stabilization and Glycan Removal
Effective vaccines exist for a number of viral diseases. However, despite much effort, there is no successful vaccine against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1). The envelope glycoprotein (Env) of HIV-1 gp120, the ... -
Homeostasis of cyclic-di-AMP in Mycobacterium smegmatis: Functional and structural contributions of c-di-AMP synthase (MsDisA) and hydrolase (MsPDE)
In bacteria, cyclic-di-nucleotide based second messengers regulate various physiological processes including the stress response. For the past decades, cyclic diadenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) has emerged as a crucial ... -
Hormones and Cuscuta Development Abscisic Acid And Its Conjugates-Endogenous Levels And Metabolism During Growth And Haustoria Formation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-25)Cuscuta or dodder is one of the best known higher plant parasite with around 158 species over 5 continents parasitising a wide variety of host plants (Yuncker,1932) Dodders are characterised by their interesting parasitic ... -
Host Gene Expression Profiling of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infected cells : Identification of Novel Pro- and Anti-viral Genes
(2017-11-27)Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus is the causative agent of Japanese encephalitis (JE). The disease affects mostly children and around 30000– 50000 cases of JE and up to 15000 deaths are reported ... -
Host Location in Non-pollinating Fig Wasps of Ficus Racemosa : Age, Oviposition History and the Ovipositor
The fig–fig wasp system is a brood site pollination system where pollinators breed inside an enclosed globular inflorescence (syconium) that they pollinate. This pollination mutualism is subjected to exploitation by the ... -
Host responses in Fas-deficient autoimmune-prone lpr mice upon Salmonella Typhimurium infection
Autoimmune diseases can potentially pre-dispose an individual to infections. On the other hand, infections can trigger, exacerbate or ameliorate autoimmunity. Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is a rare genetic ... -
Host-Pathogen Interaction Between Staphylococcus Aureus And Murine Macrophages
(2013-09-04)Chapter 1: Introductionn Staphylococci are gram positive rotund bacteria that grow in clusters; and hence get their name. The genus of Staphylococcus comprises of over 30 species of which S. epidermidis and S.aureus are ... -
