Case report of X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome with acquired toxoplasmic encephalitis
Authors: Guoyan Lu, Dan Yu
The X-linked hyper-IgM (XHIGM; HIGM1) syndrome is an uncommon primary immunodeficiency disease caused by mutations in the gene for CD40 ligand and characterized by normal or elevated serum IgM, low or absent serum levels of IgG, IgA and IgE, and defective T-cell function. Here we reported a case of XHIGM with acquired toxoplas.. Read More»

Genotypes within the prolactin and growth hormone insulin-like growth factor-I pathways associated with milk production in heat stressed Holstein cattle: Genotypes and milk yield in heat stressed Holstein cows
Authors: Hern�¡ndez-Cordero, M. A. S�¡nchez-Castro, R. Zamorano- Algandar, P. Luna-Nev�¡rez, G. Rinc�³n, J. F. Medrano4, S. E. Speidel, R. M. Enns and M. G. Thomas
The association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes of the prolactin (PRL), growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF1) pathways with 305-day milk yield (MY305) were evaluated in heat-stressed Holstein cows. Ambient temperature and relative humidity were used to calculate a temperature-humidi.. Read More»

Differential expression of dormancy-Associated genes in fastigiata and hypogaea peanut
Authors: M.F.C. Silva, C.R.C. Silva, L.M. Lima, JPC Ramos, and R.C. Santos
Seed dormancy is a temporary replacement state observed in some higher plants, which prevents germination under unfavorable conditions. In several species, dormancy process is triggered by hormonal factors, initiated by ABA and precursor enzymes. In this work, we investigated the relationship between dormancy and the expressio..
