Differential impact of L-arginine deprivation on the activation and effector functions of T cells and macrophages.
No full textThe metabolism of the amino acid L-arginine is emerging as a crucial mechanism for the regulation of immune responses. Here, we characterized the impact of L-arginine deprivation on T cell and macrophage (MPhi) effector functions: We show that whereas L-arginine is required unconditionally for T cell activation, MPhi can up-regulate activation markers and produce cytokines and chemokines in the absence of L-arginine. Furthermore, we show that L-arginine deprivation does not affect the capacity of activated MPhi to up-regulate L-arginine-metabolizing enzymes such as inducible NO synthase and arginase 1. Thus, our results show that to exert their effector functions, T cells and MPhi have different requirements for L-arginine

Polymorphic Microsatellite DNA Markers in Opuntia spp. Collections
No full textIn the present study, five SSRs from a novel set of microsatellite loci and 8 previously isolated are analyzed in different species and cultivars of Opuntia, selected from two 'on field' collections located in Italy and Argentina. The objectives were to investigate the genetic variability in the cactus pear and assess the ability of the tested SSR markers in identifying and discriminating Opuntia accessions at species and intra-species levels. All SSRs produced polymorphic amplifications in the 29 accessions analyzed. The mean value of the polymorphic index content (PIC) for the SSR loci provided good discriminating ability for the assessment of genetic diversity in the genotypes included in the study. The diversity indices were higher in the species population than in the cultivars populations, but the cultivated accessions retained more diversity than expected for a domesticated species
Exploring the Physics Frontier with ν_e's and ν[over-bar]_µ's in MINOS
No full textThe prospects for the ν_e appearance analyis in the MINOS experiment are reviewed. A novel approach for selecting CC ν_e events is also described in addition to a method to measure the intrinsic beam ν_e background using the measured ν[over-bar]_µ rate. The outlook for other ν[over-bar]_µ physics analyses in MINOS is qualitatively described alongside the possibility of reversing the current in the NuMI horns to obtain an anti-neutrino beam
