The Interaction of the Human Adenovirus E1A Protein with the Human DREF Transcription Factor
… E1A can bind hDREF through residues 15-26. Using quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), I found that hDREF also increases expression of HAdV-5 E3 and E4 genes, which are trans-activated by E1A. Finally, hDREF expression increases HAdV-5 replication. Further studies will reveal …

Phakopsora pachyrhizi growth in tissue of leaves from resistant and susceptible soybean germplasm
… more sporulating uredinia indicate a susceptible reaction. Resistance to soybean rust is characterized by the development of reddish-brown (RB) lesions or a symptomless immune response, though considerable variation in lesion diameter, color and sporulation has been observed among resistant …

Gene Expression in Endometrial Tissues of Normal Mares and Mares With Delayed Uterine Clearance
… the uterine lumen following breeding events, venereal disease or an estral cycle. This syndrome is typically seen in older, multiparous mares and mares with poor reproductive tract conformation. The etiopathogenesis of DUC has not been fully elucidated but suggested causes include poor genital …

Genetic Variations in Interferon-Induced Genes and HCV Recurrence after Liver Transplantation
… and clinical complications post-transplantation. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) was also run to determine the relationship between SNPs or disease state and the level of RNA expression. Results were collected and analyzed using Fishers exact test, Kaplan-Meir method, and …
