One of the most curious findings associated with the discovery of mimivirus (APMV) was the presence of many proteins and RNAs within the virion. Although some hypotheses on their role in Acanthamoeba infection have been put forward, none have been validated. In this study, we directly transfected mimivirus DNA with or without additional proteinase K treatment to extracted DNA into In this way, it was possible to generate infectious APMV virions, but only without extra proteinase K treatment of extracted DNA.

- A study aimed to evaluate a fast method for determining if lung tissue is cancerous or not using a device called the Microflex LTTM MALDI-TOF analyzer.
- The method involved preparing fresh samples quickly and analyzing them, which resulted in a high accuracy rate (92.1% sensitivity and 97.1% specificity) for distinguishing between cancerous and non-cancerous tissues.
- The findings suggest that this rapid analysis technique could be beneficial for real-time evaluations in surgery, especially for cases with uncertain preoperative diagnoses, and should be considered alongside traditional frozen-biopsy methods.
Human plasma paraoxonase (HuPON1) is a high density lipoprotein (HDL)-bound enzyme exhibiting antiatherogenic properties. The molecular basis for the binding specificity of HuPON1 to HDL has not been established. Isolation of HuPON1 from HDL requires the use of detergents.
