CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF DONOR-SPECIFIC ANTI-HLA-DR51/52/53 ANTIBODIES FOR ANTIBODY-MEDIATED REJECTION IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

Clinical significance of donor-specific anti-HLA-DR51/52/53 antibodies for antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant recipients

Background : The presence of Ballpoint pen donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) increases the risk of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) after kidney transplantation (KT).However, the clinical relevance of anti-HLA-DR51/52/53 antibodies remains unclear because of their weak antigen expression.This study evaluated the as

10-Methyldodecanal, a Novel Attractant Pheromone Produced by Males of the South American Cerambycid Beetle Eburodacrys vittata.

We report the identification, Body Fragrances synthesis, and field bioassay of a novel attractant pheromone produced by males of Eburodacrys vittata (Blanchard), a South American cerambycid beetle in the subfamily Cerambycinae.Headspace volatiles from males contained a sex-specific compound, identified as 10-methyldodecanal.In a field bioassay cond

Quantification of Dry Matter Content in Hass Avocado by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Scanning Different Fruit Zones

Accurate dry matter determination (DM) in Hass avocados is vital for optimal harvesting and ensuring fruit quality.Predictive models based on NIRS need to capture fruit DM gradient.This work aimed to determine the DM content in Hass avocado whole by NIRS scanning different fruit zones.Spectra were recorded for each zone of the fruit: peduncle (P),
