Abstract Background The project was initiated to describe the response of a human embryonic fibroblast cell line to the replication of two different viruses, and, more specifically, to look for candidate genes involved in viral defense.For this purpose, the cells were synchronously infected with poliovirus in the absence or presence of interferon-a
Abstract Introduction Natural killer cells can attack cancer cells without prior sensitization, but their clinical benefit is limited owing to their poor selectivity that is caused by the lack of specific receptors to target tumor cells.In this study, we aimed to endow NK cells with the ability to specifically target glypican-3+ tumor cells without

Ungulates are terrestrial herbivores, basically adapted to running fast on the ground; tree-climbing behavior has been reported only in seven species, and five of them live in open habitats (Capra hircus, C.aegagrus, C.falconeri, C.cylindricornis, Oreotragus oreotragus).Tree-climbing behavior may also be evolved in ungulates inhabiting dense forest
