Kir-Based Inhibitory Cars Overcome Car-Nk Cell Trogocytosis-Mediated Fratricide and Tumor Escape
… continuous CAR-mediated engagement, resulting in fratricide of trogocytic antigen expressing NK cells (NK<sup>TROG+</sup>) and NK cell hyporesponsiveness. This phenomenon could be offset by a dual-CAR system incorporating both an activating CAR (aCAR) against the cognate tumor antigen and an NK …

Cd56-Specific T Cells: Using Genetically Engineered T Cells to Redirect Specificity to A T Cell Expressed Antigen
… would be susceptible to self-targeting a.k.a. fratricide. However, we expand CD56-specific CAR<sup>+</sup> T cells that co-express the CD56 antigen. Since other CARs targeting T cell expressed antigens are hypothesized to be undergoing fratricide, such as the CD38-specific CAR, this unexpected …

The Effects of Degraded Vision and Automatic Combat Identification Reliability on Infantry Friendly Fire Engagements
Fratricide is one of the most devastating consequences of any military conflict. Target identification failures have been identified as the last link in a chain of mistakes that can lead to fratricide. Other links include weapon and equipment malfunctions, command, control, and communication …

Orienting Of Visual-spatial Attention With Augmented Reality: Effects Of Spatial And Non-spatial Multi-modal Cues
… them while avoiding shooting the civilians (fratricide) for two 2-minute low-workload scenarios, and two 2-minute high-workload scenarios. The results showed significant benefits of attentional cuing on visual search task performance as revealed by benefits in reaction time and accuracy from …

Triggered infrared emitter displays for individual identify friend-or-foe (IIFF) and vehicular mounted indentify friend-or-foe (VMIFF) devices.
… development and testing of the individual antifratricide devices, a vehicle version is developed with the purpose of mitigating air-to-ground fratricide. A rudimentary prototype is developed and tested, followed by an improved, more powerful version. Field tests include establishing limits for …

Searching for the Schooner Rob Roy: An Historical Archaeological Analysis of a Civil War Blockade Runner
… American Civil War spanned four years of bloody fratricide that divided the country. During those years, President Lincoln declared a blockade on all Southern ports hoping to cut supplies to the Confederacy in an attempt to shorten the conflict. As a result, blockade running became a lucrative …

Role of Fas/FasL, inflammatory mediators and LPS-activated macrophages in human neutrophil apoptosis
… In summary, our data suggest that Fas/FasL fratricide does not appear to be involved in spontaneous neutrophil apoptosis. However LPS attenuates Fas-induced apoptosis unless the Fas/FasL death receptor pathway is activated prior to LPS signalling pathways. The signalling pathways involved in …

Molecular dissection of competence regulated virulence in Streptococcus pneumoniae
… to release DNA, in a process called allolysis or fratricide. One of these “late” genes, dprA, encodes a dual-functional protein called DNA processing protein A (DprA), which protects incoming single strand DNA for genetic transformation, as well as shutting off the activated competence system. We …
