More than 60 years later, the Normandy Invasion, or D-Day, remains the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving nearly three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy in occupied France.
The clinical heterogeneity observed in leptospirosis may be associated with host factors or bacteria virulence. Human serum mannose-binding lectin (MBL) recognizes many pathogens, and low levels of this lectin are associated with susceptibility to infection. MBL is also implicated in the modulation of the inflammatory process. We determined the levels of serum MBL during leptospirosis infection.
Escherichia coli maltose-binding protein is uncommonly effective at promoting the solubility of polypeptides to which it is fused.Kapust RB, Waugh DS.Although it is usually possible to achieve a favorable yield of a recombinant protein in Escherichia coli, obtaining the protein in a soluble, biologically active form continues to be a major challenge.Sometimes this problem can be overcome by fusing an aggregation-prone polypeptide to a highly soluble partner.apust RB, Waugh DS.
