The observation of HSV-2 seropositivity in 58.8% among the 51 cases of STIs studied, is in concordance with the data obtained from various STD clinics in India, where HSV2 seroprevalence among high risk group was 20% to 85%. A sero-epidemiological study of herpes simplex virus--2 antibodi...
Our results suggest that the HSV-2-driven increase in availability of CD4+ T cells and DCs that express high levels of α4β7 is associated with the increase in susceptibility to SHIV due to HSV-2. This may persists in absence of HSV-2 shedding. Hence, higher availability of α4β7 ...

a buoy entered into one of the jet intakes and was chopped up by the impeller. The chief engineer was in the port propulsion room at the time and noted that despite this occurrence creating high levels of load and stress on the waterjet, the seal survived unharmed and did not leak a dro...
A transfection system that results in high levels of reversible expression is preferred to alternative methodology requiring selection and expansion of stably transformed clones because many of the desired primary target cells do not rapidly divide in culture....
