Since adaptive immunity is thought to be central to immunity against influenza A virus (IAV) pneumonias, preventive strategies have focused primarily on vaccines.However, vaccine efficacy has been variable, in part because of antigenic shift and drift in circulating influenza viruses.Recent studies have highlighted the importance of innate immunity
In the title compound, C15H10BrClO, the dihedral angle between mean planes Plaid Bow of the bromo- and chloro-substituted benzene rings is 46.2 (2)° compared to 45.20 (9)° in the structure with the Cl substituent in the meta position of the aromatic ring.The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the prop-2-
Membrane elastic properties, which are subject to alteration by compounds such as cholesterol, lipid metabolites and other amphiphiles, as well as pharmaceuticals, can have important effects on membrane proteins.A useful tool for measuring some of these effects is the gramicidin A channels, which are formed by transmembrane dimerization of non-cond
Medical therapies have entered center stage in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) little more than a year after the positive results of a large phase III trial of sorafenib showed a clear survival benefit with sorafenib, a targeted agent, in this setting.Even though this marks a breakthrough in the treatment of HCC, the narrow patient
