Tracking Virus-Specific CD4+ T Cells during and after Acute Hepatitis C Virus Infection
No full textBackground. CD4+ T cell help is critical in maintaining antiviral immune responses and such help has been shown to be sustained in acute resolving hepatitis C. In contrast, in evolving chronic hepatitis C CD4+ T cell helper responses appear to be absent or short-lived, using functional assays. Methodology/Prencipal Findings. Here we used a novel HLA-DR1 tetramer containing a highly targeted CD4+ T cell epitope from the hepatitis C virus non-structural protein 4 to track number and phenotype of hepatitis C virus specific CD4+ T cells in a cohort of seven HLA-DR1 positive patients with acute hepatitis C in comparison to patients with chronic or resolved hepatitis C. We observed peptide-specific T cells in all seven patients with acute hepatitis C regardless of outcome at frequencies up to 0.65% of CD4+ T cells. Among patients who transiently controlled virus replication we observed loss of function, and/or physical deletion of tetramer+ CD4+ T cells before viral recrudescence. In some patients with chronic hepatitis C very low numbers of tetramer+ cells were detectable in peripheral blood, compared to robust responses detected in spontaneous resolvers. Importantly we did not observe escape mutations in this key CD4+ T cell epitope in patients with evolving chronic hepatitis C. Conclusions/Significance. During acute hepatitis C a CD4+ T cell response against this epitope is readily induced in most, if not all, HLA-DR1 + patients. This antiviral T cell population becomes functionally impaired or is deleted early in the course of disease in those where viremia persists

Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region
Operational Tritium Inventories in the EU-DEMO Fuel Cycle
No full textThe European Demonstration Fusion Power Reactor (EU-DEMO) has to operate in a completely tritium self-sufficient mode after initial start-up, which includes producing excess tritium to allow the start-up of other reactors. The initial start-up inventory is mainly dictated by operational inventories in the fuel cycle (FC). Advances in FC technologies and immediate recycling of a large fraction of the torus exhaust gas in the direct internal recycling loop are expected to contribute greatly to an overall low operational inventory. The remainder of the torus exhaust gas, as well as tritium from the blankets, nevertheless requires treatment in the tritium plant in order to perform the necessary purification and isotope rebalancing. Here, the employed systems still feature significant operational inventories and predominantly require steady-state operation in order to maximize their performance. In this paper the operational tritium inventories in the major FC systems are reported based on the pre-concept FC design. Additionally, major dependencies of these inventories on key design drivers of the FC are discussed. It is predicted that the EU-DEMO FC will be able to operate with an overall tritium inventory of less than 2 kg

Environmental context and drug history modulate amphetamine-induced C-FOS mRNA expression in the basal ganglia, central extended amygdala and associated limbic forebrain
No full textThe context in which amphetamine is administered modulates its ability to induce both behavioral sensitization and immediate early gene expression. When given in a novel test environment amphetamine produces greater levels of c-fos and arc mRNA expression in many brain regions relative to when it is given in the home cage. The purpose of the current study was to determine if environment and drug history interact to influence amphetamine-induced c-fos mRNA expression. Rats with a unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesion were treated for 7 days with saline or 0.5 mg/kg of d-amphetamine (i.v.) in a distinct and relatively novel test environment (Novel), or in their home cage (Home). Following a 10-12-day withdrawal period, a challenge injection of either saline or 0.5 mg/kg d-amphetamine was administered. In situ hybridization histochemistry was used to examine c-fos mRNA expression in several regions of the basal ganglia, the central extended amygdala, and limbic forebrain. In most brain regions amphetamine given in the Novel environment produced greater c-fos mRNA expression than when given it was given at Home, and drug history had no effect on amphetamine-induced c-fos mRNA expression. However, within the subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra reticulata, and central nucleus of the amygdala prior experience with amphetamine in the Novel but not Home environment enhanced the effect of an amphetamine challenge injection on c-fos mRNA expression. In contrast, there was a decrease in c-fos mRNA expression in amphetamine-pretreated animals, regardless of environmental context, in the ventral portion of the far caudal striatum. Reexposure to an environment previously paired with amphetamine produced a conditioned increase in c-fos mRNA expression in portions of the caudate-putamen, the subthalamic nucleus, the nucleus accumbens shell and a conditioned decrease in c-fos mRNA expression in the central nucleus of the amygdala. We conclude that environmental context and drug history interact to alter the basal ganglia and central extended amygdala circuitry engaged by subsequent exposure to amphetamine, or exposure to an environment previously paired with amphetamine.
