11. Heavy metal tolerance, uptake, accumulation, and translocation in Salix and its application in phytoremediation
Abstract : In the environment, heavy metals are major stressors for plants, and since plants are immobile, they cannot avoid the stress but must adapt. Therefore, plants may develop avoidance and tolerance mechanisms to reduce susceptibility to metal toxicity. READ MORE

12. Generation and evolution of human antibody fragments - The CDR shuffling approach
Abstract : Antibodies are important proteins participating in a number of reactions to protect us from harmful diseases. Apart from this important function, they are also useful in different technical and medical applications. This, however, relies on our possibility to produce antibodies in vitro. READ MORE

13. Malaria : multiclonal infections and protective immunity
Abstract : The mortality and morbidity attributable to malaria remain high in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially among children less than five years of age. In areas of high transmission, immunity to clinical malaria is gradually acquired after repeated exposure to the polymorphic Plasmodium falciparum parasite. READ MORE

14. Biosynthesis of leukotriene B4 in hematological malignancies
Abstract : Leukotrienes (LT) are biologically active metabolites of the fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA). After liberation of AA by phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2), this fatty acid can be converted to leukotrienes, lipoxins, prostaglandins or thromboxane. The conversion of AA to LTA 4 is catalyzed by five-lipoxygenase (5-LO). READ MORE

15. Molecular cloning of genes coding for three inducible antibacterial proteins of Hyalophora cecropia
Abstract : The humoral immune system in the pupa of the giant silk moth Hyalophora cecropia can be induced by an injection of non-pathogenic bacteria. Three families of antibacterial proteins are synthesized, namely lysozyme, the attacins and the cecropins. READ MORE
