RHINOVIRUS AND INNATE IMMUNE FUNCTION OF AIRWAY EPITHELIUM

Rhinovirus and Innate Immune Function of Airway Epithelium

Airway epithelial cells, which lines the respiratory mucosa is in direct contact with the environment.Airway epithelial cells are the primary target for rhinovirus and other inhaled pathogens.In response to rhinovirus infection, airway epithelial cells mount both pro-inflammatory responses and antiviral innate immune responses to clear the virus ef

Isoform expression in the multiple soluble malate dehydrogenase of Hoplias malabaricus (Erythrinidae, Characiformes)

Kinetic properties and thermal stabilities of Hoplias malabaricus liver and skeletal muscle unfractionated malate dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.37) and its isolated isoforms were analyzed to further Calendar study the possible sMDH-A* locus duplication evolved from a recent tandem duplication.Both A (A1 and A2) and B isoforms had similar optima pH (
