1. Telomere analysis of normal and neoplastic hematopoietic cells : studies focusing on fluorescence in situ hybridization and flow cytometry
Abstract : The telomeres are specialized structures at the end of the chromosomes composed of the repeated DNA sequence (TTAGGG)n and specific proteins bound to the DNA. The telomeres protect the chromosomes from degradation and end to end fusions. READ MORE

2. Studies on bacteria resistant and susceptible to humoral immunity in insects
Abstract : Insects have developed several defense mechanisms against microorganismsi The injection of live bacteria into Lepidoptera pupae induces the synthesis of several bactericidal proteins, especially the cecropins and the attacins. Important properties of an insect pathogenic bacterium are invasiveness and resistance to immunity. READ MORE

3. Plant-produced STI vaccine antigens with special emphasis on HIV-1 p24
Abstract : Objective: To establish stable transgenic non-toxic plants as a platform for plant-based vaccine production as well as potential oral delivery system of vaccine antigens for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The concept is to immunize the mucosal immune system present in the gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT). READ MORE

4. Characterization of non-coding mRNA in Epstein-Barr virus
Abstract : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human gammaherpesvirus that infects lymphoid and epithelial cells. The virus is the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis, a self-limiting lymphoproliferative disease, and it is additionally associated with various malignancies including Burkitt?s lymphoma, Hodgkin?s disease and lymphoproliferative syndromes in immunocompromised individuals.

5. Studies on mutagenesis by ethylene oxide and styrene oxide in the hprt gene in human cells
Abstract : Environmental, occupational and life style-related exposures to mutagenic agents may contribute to cancer risk in humans. To prevent the potentially hazardous effects of such agents it is important to understand their mechanisms of action. READ MORE
