A monoclonal antibody (mAb) designated H250, directed against an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) capsid antigen, was obtained following immunization of BALB/c mice with naked particles from the producer cell line B95.8. This antigen was present in the producer lines B95.8, P3HR1, M81, RI and CA, and absent from the non-producer lines BJAB, Raji and 1022. H250 did not inhibit the transformation of cord blood lymphocytes by the B95.8 virus, nor did it inhibit EA induction on Raji cells by the P3HR1 virus. In addition, H250 showed no fluorescence on living B95.8 cells. This indicates that H250 does not recognize a membrane antigen. By indirect immunofluorescence, no fluorescence was observed on induced Raji cells or on PAA-treated B95.8 cells. Thus, H250 recognized a late antigen of the EBV virus replication cycle. Agglutination of naked virus by H250 showed it was directed against a capsid antigen. Positive fluorescence was observed on cells treated with tunicamycin, indicating that H250 recognized a protein. The molecular weight of this protein was obtained by Western blot and was approximately 75 kDa. The blocking tests carried out with H250 seemed to indicate that this Ab appeared late in patient sera during primary infection.

Waste valorization is an essential aspect of sustainable development. From this perspective, co-hydrothermal carbonization (Co-HTC) is a promising thermochemical process for converting organic waste into hydrochar. Hydrochar is a solid material whose physicochemical properties could make it suitable for adsorbing pollutants such as heavy metals.

Integrating hydrogen with CNG is crucial for carbon neutrality and environmental goals, as it enhances flame temperature, reduces emissions, and combats global warming. This study employs the CHEMKIN tool to examine combustion characteristics, including adiabatic flame temperature, mole fraction, normalization, and production rate, in H-CNG mixtures under various atmospheric and operating conditions. Blending 50% hydrogen with CNG results in significant changes, including a temperature increase from 2322 to 2344 K when the hydrogen content is at 50%.

Background: Microgreens constitute dietary sources of bioactive compounds imparting numerous health benefits and enhancing sensory experience. They can be successfully cultivated in soilless systems where biostimulants can be easily integrated as seed-priming and post-germination agents improving the sustainability of a crop's final production. Compared to an untreated control, three priming agents (a commercial legume-derived protein hydrolysate (A250), a novel protein hydrolysate derived from peanut biomass (H250) and hydropriming (HO)) were applied to Komatsuna and Mibuna seeds grown as microgreens and compared for their effects on yield parameters, mineral composition, ABTS and FRAP antioxidant capacity, carotenoid concentration and phenolic compounds.

Unraveling the configuration-activity relationship and synergistic enhancement mechanism (such as real active center, electron spin-state, and d-orbital energy level) for triatomic catalysts, as well as their intrinsically bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis, is a great challenge. Here we present a triatomic catalyst (TAC) with a trinuclear active structure that displays extraordinary oxygen electrocatalysis for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), greatly outperforming the counterpart of single-atom and diatomic catalysts. The aqueous Zn-air battery (ZAB) equipped with a TAC-based cathode exhibits extraordinary rechargeable stability and ultrarobust cycling performance (1970 h/3940 cycles at 2 mA cm, 125 h/250 cycles at 10 mA cm with negligible voltage decay), and the quasi-solid-state ZAB displays outstanding rechargeability and low-temperature adaptability (300 h/1800 cycles at 2 mA cm at -60 °C), outperforming other state-of-the-art ZABs.

Adenosine receptors are largely distributed in our organism and are promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of many pathologies. In this perspective, investigating the structural features of the ligands leading to affinity and/or selectivity is of great interest. In this work, we have focused on a small series of pyrazolo-triazolo-pyrimidine antagonists substituted in positions 2, 5, and N8, where bulky acyl moieties at the N5 position and small alkyl groups at the N8 position are associated with affinity and selectivity at the A adenosine receptor even if a good affinity toward the A adenosine receptor has also been observed.
