Development and Characterization of Anti-Nitr9 Antibodies by Radhika N. Shah, Ivan Rodriguez-Nunez, Donna D. Eason, Robert N. Haire, Julien Y. Bertrand, Valērie Wittamer, David Traver, Shila K. Nordone, Gary W. Litman, Jeffrey A. Yoder

“…The novel immune-type receptors (NITRs), which have been described in numerous bony fish species, are encoded by multigene families of inhibitory and activating receptors and are predicted to be functional orthologs to the mammalian natural killer cell receptors (NKRs). Within the zebrafish NITR family, nitr9 is the only gene predicted to encode an activating receptor. …”

Combinatorial co-expression of xanthine dehydrogenase and chaperone XdhC from Acinetobacter baumannii and Rhodobacter capsulatus and their applications in decreasing purine content... by Chenghua Wang, Ran Zhang, Yu Sun, You Wen, Xiaoling Liu, Xinhui Xing

“…This study investigated the combinatorial expression of xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and chaperone XdhC from Acinetobacter baumannii and Rhodobacter capsulatus and their applications in decreasing purine content in the beer, beef and yeast. Naturally occurring xdhABC gene clusters of A. baumannii CICC 10254 and R. capsulatus CGMCC 1.3366 as well as two refactored clusters constructed by exchanging their xdhC genes were overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified to near homogeneity. …”

Neutralization of Soybean Oil Deodorizer Distillate for Vitamin Supplement Production by Cibelem Iribarrem Benites, Bruno Colling Klein, Soely Maria Pissini Machado Reis

“…Soybean oil deodorizer distillate (SODD), a byproduct of the soybean oil refining process, is a complex mixture of compounds, such as free fatty acids (FFA), hydrocarbons, and sterols, such as tocopherols, a class of major natural antioxidants with vitamin E activity. As the utilization of SODD for tocopherol extraction is shown to be not economically viable, SODD in the semirefined form (neutral) is an interesting alternative to animal and possibly human diet enrichment. …”
