BIOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A FUNCTIONAL L-HN DERIVATIVE OF BOTULINUM NEUROTOXIN SEROTYPE F

Biological and Immunological Characterization of a Functional L-HN Derivative of Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype F

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) can cause nerve paralysis syndrome in mammals and other vertebrates.BoNTs are the most toxic biotoxins known and are classified as Class A biological warfare agents.BoNTs are mainly divided into seven serotypes A-G and new neurotoxins BoNT/H and BoNT/X, which have similar functions.BoNT proteins are 150 kDa polypeptide

Pre-culture Sudan Black B treatment suppresses autofluorescence signals emitted from polymer tissue scaffolds

Abstract In tissue engineering, autofluorescence of polymer scaffolds often lowers the image contrast, making it difficult to examine cells and subcellular structures.Treating the scaffold materials with Sudan Black B (SBB) after cell fixation can effectively suppress autofluorescence, but this approach is not conducive to live cell imaging.Post-cu

Innovative Systems for the Delivery of Naturally Occurring Antimicrobial Volatiles in Active Food-Packaging Technologies for Fresh and Minimally Processed Produce: Stimuli-Responsive Materials

Certain naturally occurring volatile organic compounds are able to mitigate food spoilage caused by microbial growth.Their considerable vapor pressure enables them to create an antimicrobial atmosphere within a package, and Multi-Tools this property can be used for the development of active food-packaging technologies.The volatility of these molecu
