Swine kidney derived CPK cells were resistant to swine complement attack in vitro while rabbit kidney derived RK13 cells were destroyed by swine complement. To rabbit complement, RK13 cells were resistant but CPK cells were sensitive. This phenomenon was known as homologous restriction (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78 (1981) 5118). The gC deletion mutant of pseudorabies virus (PRVdlgC) grown in CPK cells was resistant to swine complement while the same virus grown in RK13 cells was neutralized by swine complement. PRVdlgC grown in RK13 cells was more resistant to rabbit complement than the virus grown in CPK cells. Hence, the sensitivity of PRVdlgC to swine or rabbit complement was similar to that of the cells in which the virus was grown. It would appear that cell derived factors were present on the virion and they were protective against homologous complement but not against heterologous complement. The expression of gC rendered PRV more resistant to swine or rabbit complement, but the protective effect of gC was much less than that of cell derived factors. The best protection against complement was obtained when gC and cell derived factors were coexistent on the virion.

Article Synopsis
- Axatilimab is a monoclonal antibody that targets CSF-1R, approved for treating chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and being researched for other conditions like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
- A study involving 325 participants investigated the drug's pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD), showing that it reduces certain immune cell levels, which affects enzyme levels in the bloodstream.
- The final PK/PD model, based on complex math involving differential equations, identified several factors influencing axatilimab's effectiveness and helped shape dosing strategies for cGVHD patients.

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant stress adaptation, growth and reproduction. Despite extensive ABA-Ca signalling links, imaging ABA-induced increases in Ca concentration has been challenging, except in guard cells. Here we visualize ABA-triggered [Ca] dynamics in diverse organs and cell types of Arabidopsis thaliana using a genetically encoded Ca ratiometric sensor with a low-nanomolar Ca-binding affinity and a large dynamic range.

The speedy growth of copper oxide nanoparticle (CuO NP) manufacturing due to their wide application in industries has caused concerns due to their increased discharge into the environment from both purposeful and accidental sources. Their presence at an elevated concentration in the environment can cause potential hazards to the plant kingdom, specifically to staple food crops. However, limited research is available to determine the consequences of CuO NPs.

Hydrotropism facilitates the orientation of plant roots toward regions of elevated water potential, enabling them to absorb adequate water. Although calcium signaling plays a crucial role in plant response to water tracking, the exact regulatory mechanisms remain a mystery. Here, we employed the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) hydrotropism-specific protein MIZU-KUSSEI1 (MIZ1) as bait and found that calcium-dependent protein kinases 4/5/6/11 (CPK4/5/6/11) interacted with MIZ1 in vitro and in vivo.
