For example, a positive influenza test result when influenza is not recog- nized to be circulating in the community should prompt an assessment as to whether epidemiologic (e.g., travel history) or clinical (e.g., immunocompromised host) factors sup- port the diagnosis of influenza virus ...

Not sure? You can be tested for measles IgG antibodies to confirm immunity, but it’s easier to skip the blood test (and the copay) and go straight for the jab, experts say. There’s no harm in getting a booster, and you may be able to receive one at your local pharmacy, no ...
Observation of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect on the Au NP films. The nanostructured Au films obtained with solutions containing various concentrations of HCOONa were subjected to SERS experiments with Rhodamine 6 G (R6G) as the test molecule. The commercially pure ...

2B; median degree of virus-interacting, non-virus-interacting, and all proteins = 5.4, 3.9, and 4.2, respectively; Student t test P value for comparing log-scaled non-virus-interacting and virus-interacting data < 10−16). Therefore, despite known biases ingrained in PPI data, virus-...
Is it going to happen sometime in the near future? The answer is yes, we’re due for it, but you can’t predict when it’s going to happen.”Of course if it does happen the authorities will move mountains in an effort to develop, mass-produce, test, license, and distribute an ...
The asparagine in the wt 2(3) virus is unique among all reported NP molecules (see Table 3), but not the threonine of the ca virus. The A/AA/6/60 (wt and ca) viruses are the only viruses in 54 GenBank sequences with an inserted A at base 1550 near the putative polyadenlyation...
Effective doses may be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal test systems. As also well known in the art, the immunogenicity of a particular composition can be enhanced by the use of non-specific stimulators of the immune response, known as adjuvants. Adjuvant...
