Synthesis of Cis-Cisoid or Cis-Transoid Poly(Phenyl-Acetylene)s Having One or Two Carbamate Groups as Oxygen Permeation Membrane Materials.

Three new phenylacetylene monomers having one or two carbamate groups were synthesized and polymerized by using (Rh(norbornadiene)Cl) as an initiator. The resulting polymers had very high average molecular weights () of 1.4-4.

Marek's Disease Virus Disables the ATR-Chk1 Pathway by Activating STAT3.

Oncogenic virus replication often leads to genomic instability, causing DNA damage and inducing the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway. The DDR pathway is a cellular pathway that senses DNA damage and regulates the cell cycle to maintain genomic stability. Therefore, the DDR pathway is critical for the viral lifecycle and tumorigenesis.

First molecular detection and characterization of Marek's disease virus in red-crowned cranes (Grus japonensis): a case report.

Background: Marek's disease virus (MDV) resides in the genus Mardivirus in the family Herpesviridae. MDV is a highly contagious virus that can cause neurological lesions, lymphocytic proliferation, immune suppression, and death in avian species, including Galliformes (chickens, quails, partridges, and pheasants), Strigiformes (owls), Anseriformes (ducks, geese, and swans), and Falconiformes (kestrels).

Case Presentation: In 2015, two red-crowned cranes died in Nanjing (Jiangsu, China).

[Preparation and identification of monoclonal antibodies against chicken cell cycle checkpoint kinase 2 (cChk2)].

Objective To prepare monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against chicken cell cycle checkpoint kinase 2 (cChk2). Methods The cChk2 gene was amplified by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and subcloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-3. After induced by IPTG, cChk2 was expressed in BL21 (DE3) E.

Complete genome sequences of newcastle disease virus strains isolated from three different poultry species in china.

In 2000, three Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains were isolated from outbreaks of infection in layers, ducklings, and geese in the same region of China during the same time period. Here, we report their complete genome sequences, which belong to the NDV genotype VIId. This discovery might provide clues as to the evolution of the NDVs of different avian origins.

Intracellular Tat of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 activates lytic cycle replication of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus: role of JAK/STAT signaling.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection significantly increases the risk of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) occurrence in individuals infected with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). KSHV infection appears to be necessary but not sufficient for KS development without other cofactors. However, factors that facilitate KSHV to cause KS have not been well defined.
