Protective effects of immunization with plasmid membrane-anchored pIRES-sjFABP-sj26GST, secreted pIRES-sjFABP-sj26GST, and pIRES following <i>S. japonicum</i> challenge in BALB/c mice.

The mice were vaccinated with 100 µg membrane-anchored pIRES-sjFABP-sj26GST, secreted pIRES-sjFABP-sj26GST, and pIRES plasmid twice with a 3-week interval. Two weeks after final boosting, all groups were infected with 40±1 <i>S. japonicum</i> cercariae. Mice were euthanized 45 days after challenge at which point adult worm burdens and egg numbers in feces and liver were compared among the 3 groups.</p>*<p>Results were statistically significant when compared to the PIRES group (P<0.05).</p>**<p>Results were statistically significant when compared to the pIRES-sjFABP-sj26GST membrane-anchored group (P<0.05).</p
Induction of gD-specific functional T cell responses in mice immunized with pIRES I or pIRES II.
No full text<p>(A) Detection of gD-specific IFN-γ-secreting cells in vaccinated BALB/c mice was performed two weeks after the last immunization dose. Spleen cells from individual mice (n = 8) were cultured in the presence of full-length recombinant purified gD for 72 h. The frequencies of the gD-specific IFN-γ-secreting cells were measured by ELISPOT. (B) Detection of gD-specific IFN-γ-secreting CD8<sup>+</sup> and CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in those mice described in (A) with spleen cells previously incubated for 72 h with the recombinant gD analyzed by flow cytometry. Data shown in A and B represent the compilation of two independent experiments, with four mice per group (n = 8). *p<0.05. (C) Protective anti-HSV immunity elicited in mice immunized with pIRES I or pIRES II. Vaccinated male BALB/c mice were challenged intranasal with the HSV-1 strain EK (5×10<sup>4 </sup>P.F.U./mouse) two weeks after last vaccine dose and mice survival was monitored for 40 days. Data shown in C represent the compilation of two independent experiments, with five mice per group (n = 10). <i>p</i> = 0.0009 (Logrank test for trend). pIRES is the empty vector used as immunization control.</p
tank bromeliad experiment (Pires et al)
No full textThis file contains the data used to produce the manuscript "Interactive effects of climate change and biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning" by Pires et al in Ecology. The first sheet contains data of decomposition (dry weight loss in mg after 180 days), bacterial production (µmol C L-1 h-1), detritivore abundance (number of detritivore individuals in each tank bromeliad), detritivore richness (number of detritivore species in each tank bromeliad), bromeliad maximum volume (ml) and the mechanisms by which litter diversity affected decomposition (TICE: trait-independent complementarity effect; DE: dominance effect and TDCE: trait-dependent complementarity effect). The second sheet contains data of methane concentration (ppm) in three different sampling times (30, 60 and 90 days after rainfall manipulation). The first three columns in each sheet describe the treatments used in the experiment. For more details about the experimental design, sampling and methods used to produce these data, see the manuscript in the journal

Lectotypifications of cerastium siculum, C. Densiflorum, and C. aggregatum, and taxonomic notes on C. siculum (Caryophyllaceae)
No full textNomenclatural notes on Cerastium siculum Guss. (Caryophyllaceae), a species described from Sicily and occurring in the central western region of the Mediterranean basin, are discussed. The names C. aggregatum Durieu ex Brign., C. densiflorum Guss., and C. siculum are lectotypified here. The taxonomic independence of C. siculum from C. semidecandrum L. and the other taxa of Cerastium L. sect. Orthodon Ser. subsect. Fugacia Fenzl is confirmed, as well as the synonymy of C. aggregatum and C. densiflorum
Aspects of the breeding biology of Janaira gracilis Moreira e Pires (Crustacea, Isopoda, Asellota)
No full textThe biological aspects of incubating females of Janaira gracilis Mbreira & Pires, are described. The marsupium is formed by 4 pairs of oostegites arising from pereopods I-IV. The oostegites appear for the first time at the post-marsupial stage 7 (preparatory stage 1), growing successively at each moult until stage 9 (brooding stage 1), when they reach fully development. The sizes of the eggs increase with the body size of the females. The number of eggs, per female, is a linear function of the body volume, i.e., the fecundity increases with the female's body size. The number of eggs, embryos and juveniles decrease during the marsupial development. This decrease in brood number is higher between the last two marsupial stages, i.e., from stage C to D, than between the preceding marsupial stages. The average and overall brood mortality rate is of 38.95%.São descritos, no presente trabalho, vários aspectos relacionados à biologia de fêmeas grávidas de Janaira gracilis Moreira & Pires. O marsúpio é formado por 4 pares de oostégitos, que partem dos pereópodos I-IV. Os oostégitos, que surgem pela primeira vez no estádio 7 do desenvolvimento pós-marsupial (estágio preparatório 1), crescem nas sucessivas mudas, atingindo no estágio 9 (estágio reprodutor 1) seu pleno desenvolvimento. O tamanho dos ovos é proporcional ao tamanho das fêmeas. O número de ovos, por fêmeas, e proporcional ao volume das fêmeas, isto é, a fecundidade é mais elevada nos exemplares de maior comprimento. O número de ovos, embriões e jovens decresce com o desenvolvimento marsupial, sendo este decréscimo maior entre os dois últimos estágios marsupials (i.é., entre os estágios C e D) do que entre os estágios precedentes. A taxa média de mortalidade marsupial é de 38.95%
