Purging viral latency by a bifunctional HSV-vectored therapeutic vaccine in chronically SIV-infected macaques by Ziyu Wen, Pingchao Li, Yue Yuan, Congcong Wang, Minchao Li, Haohang Wang, Minjuan Shi, Yizi He, Mingting Cui, Ling Chen, Caijun Sun

“…In addition, HSV-ΔICP34.5 enhanced the phosphorylation of IKKα/β through the degradation of IκBα, leading to p65 accumulation in the nucleus to elicit NF-κB pathway-dependent reactivation of HIV latency. Then, we constructed the recombinant HSV-ΔICP34.5 expressing simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) env, gag, or the fusion antigen sPD1-SIVgag as a therapeutic vaccine, aiming to achieve a functional cure by simultaneously reactivating viral latency and eliciting antigen-specific immune responses. …”

Relation between the phase-lag index and lagged coherence for assessing interactions in EEG and MEG data by Rikkert Hindriks

“…The proof is based on power series expansions of the Fourier coefficients of the phase-lag index and the lagged coherence, which are demonstrated to be hypergeometric functions. We also assess the sampling properties of the phase-lag index and the lagged coherence through numerical simulations from the Gaussian model. …”
