The assembly was filtered to remove known non-marmoset sequence contaminants, and singleton contigs and supercontigs <2 kb in length. The final assembly included 99.98% of the input reads and had 59% AT content. WUGCCallithrix jacchus-3.2 was submitted to GenBank (UCSC version calJac3) and ...
A positive culture from blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a strong indicator of sepsis [1]. However,certain pathogens, like coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), can be contaminants and cause falsely positive cultures [3]. Polymerase Chain reaction (PCR) is a sensitive diagnostic method ...
Contaminants including heavy metals and plastic additives and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), have been repetitively associated with male infertility, whereas emerging contaminants such as perfluoroalkyl substances and micro(nano)plastics have also been found to disrupt TIM and lead to male reproductive ...
Methylsulfonyl-PCBs (MeSO2-PCBs) are hydrophobic organic contaminants that bioaccumulate in the environment similar to their parent molecules, PCBs. Previously, MeSO2-PCBs have primarily been identified in tissues of birds, humans, and o... H. Stapleton,R. Letcher,J. Baker - 《Organohalogen Co...
Inflammation is an essential physiological response to infection and injury that must be kept within strict bounds. The IL-10/STAT3 anti-inflammatory response (AIR) is indispensable for controlling the extent of inflammation, although the complete mechan
Pneumococcal Capsular Polysaccharide Preparations May Contain Non-C-Polysaccharide Contaminants That Are Immunogenic We measured the capacity to opsonize Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 6B and estimated the concentration of immunoglobulin G anti-6B capsular polysacchari...

Non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (NDL-PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are environmental pollutants that exert neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral effects in vivo in humans and animals. Acute in vitro neurotoxic effects include changes in cell viability, oxidative stress, and ba...
besides partial fusion of some secondary lamellae are examples of defense mechanisms, since, in general, these result in the increase of the distance between the external environment and the blood and thus serve as a barrier to the entrance of contaminants (Mallatt, 1985; Hinton and Laurén, 19...
Generally, in vivo studies are usually not feasible, and ethical issues concerning the study of immunotoxic effects caused by environmental contaminants in cetaceans are difficult to overcome, so in vitro study using blood samples from captive cetaceans would be a logical and crucial approach33. ...
Worldwide amphibian populations are declining due to habitat loss, disease and pollution. Vulnerability to environmental contaminants such as pesticides will be dependent on the species, the sensitivity of the ontogenic life stage and hence the timing of exposure and the exposure pathway. Herein we ...
