Background Recent impressive advances in cancer immunotherapy have been largely derived from cellular immunity.The role of humoral immunity in carcinogenesis has been less understood.Based on our previous observations 275/60r15 mickey thompson we hypothesize that an immunoglobulin subtype IgG4 plays an essential role in cancer immune evasion.Method
Biomass distribution among size classes follows a power law where the Log-abundance of taxa scales to Log-size with a slope that responds to environmental abiotic and biotic conditions.The interactions between ecological mechanisms controlling the slope of locally realized size-abundance relationships (SAR) are however not well understood.Here we t
The most devastating insect pest of rice, Brown plant hopper (BPH) (Nilaparvata lugens Stal.) feeds on the rice plant and results in huge yield loss.Breeding of resistant cultivars is more economical and eco-friendlier than use of chemical pesticides.Rice cultivars with improved resistance to disease and pest are developed with pyramiding technique
Compliance with environmental protection regulations, in particular, community noise requirements, constitutes one of the major obstacles for designing future supersonic civil aircraft.Although there are several noise sources that contribute to the total noise level of supersonic aircraft, it is the turbulent jet that appears most problematic; jet
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins.Mutations in MYL3, encoding the essential light chain of myosin, are rare and have been associated with sudden death.Both recessive and dominant patterns of inheritance have been suggested.We studied a large family with a 38-year-old asymptomatic HCM-affec
