DIFFERENTIAL HOMING RECEPTOR PROFILES OF LYMPHOCYTES INDUCED BY ATTENUATED VERSUS LIVE PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM SPOROZOITES

Differential Homing Receptor Profiles of Lymphocytes Induced by Attenuated versus Live Plasmodium falciparum Sporozoites

The onset of an adaptive immune response provides the signals required for differentiation of antigen-specific lymphocytes into effector cells and imprinting of these cells for re-circulation to the most appropriate anatomical POUCHES site (i.e., homing).Lymphocyte homing is governed by the expression of tissue-specific lymphocyte homing receptors

Dehydration during storage affects carbohydrate metabolism and the accumulation of non-sucrose carbohydrates in postharvest sugarbeet roots

Sugarbeet roots produced in cold climates are stored in large piles prior to processing and are cooled by ambient winter air.These storage conditions dehydrate roots, causing root respiration rate and sucrose loss in storage to increase.Dehydration likely alters carbohydrate metabolism due to a greater demand for respiratory substrates and may affe
