A plant protein signal sequence improved humoral immune response to HPV prophylactic and therapeutic DNA vaccines

Signal sequences (ss) play a critical role in the sorting of nascent secretory and membrane proteins.This function has been conserved from bacteria through eukaryotes, although ss appear diverse in length and amino acid composition.Sorting of proteins is also critical to instruct antigens for a proper immunological response.Thus, a plant ss was use

Vocal communication in wild chimpanzees: a call rate study

Background Patterns of vocal communication have implications cent dyyni for species conservation: a change in calling behaviour can, for instance, reflect a disturbed habitat.More importantly, call rate is a parameter that allows conservation planners to convert call density into animal density, when detecting calls with a passive acoustic monitori
