The use of soil palynomorphs in forensics

The aim was to establish the forensic value of using palynomorphs in soil samples to link people or objects to crime scenes in order to establish or strengthen an association.This was done by determining the degree to which pollen assemblages of surface soil samples differ within the same area.Samples within the same localized area (the control sit

CD4 depletion in SIV-infected macaques results in macrophage and microglia infection with rapid turnover of infected cells.

In rhesus macaques (RMs), experimental depletion of CD4+ T-cells prior to SIV infection results in higher viremia and emergence of CD4-independent SIV-envelopes.In this study we used the rhesus recombinant anti-CD4 antibody CD4R1 to deplete RM CD4+ T-cells prior to SIVmac251 infection and investigate the sources of the increased viral burden and th
