Differential T cell response against BK virus regulatory and structural antigens: A viral dynamics modelling approach.

BK virus (BKV) associated nephropathy affects 1-10% of kidney transplant recipients, leading to graft failure in about 50% of cases.Immune responses against different BKV antigens have been shown to have a prognostic value for disease development.Data currently suggest that the structural antigens and regulatory antigens of BKV might each trigger a

Biodegradation of antibiotics: the balance between good and bad

The worldwide population rise corroborated with the raise of the health-care standards have generated an escalation of the antibiotic production and uncontrolled usage.The Sets subsequent effects of this escalation have led to an increase of the antibiotic resistance rates, Romania is in the top of the EU countries regarding the antibiotic resistan

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Caused by Gut Leakage Trigger the Autoimmune Response in Nonobese Diabetic Mice

Increased formation of neutrophil Construction Toys extracellular traps (NETs) is associated with gut leakage in type 1 diabetes (T1D).To explore the mechanism of how enteropathy exacerbated by NETs triggers pancreatic autoimmunity in T1D, we carried out a correlation analysis for NET formation with gut barrier functions and autoimmunity in nonobes

A more flexible Lomax distribution: Characterization, estimation, group acceptance sampling plan and applications

The objectives of this paper are threefold.First, we introduce a novel distribution, named the Odd Perks-Lomax (OPL) distribution, which is derived from the Odd Perks-G family of distributions.Second, we explore the mathematical properties of the Sets OPL distribution in detail.Third, we develop a group acceptance sampling plan tailored for truncat
