Virus-like replicon particles (VRP) of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus containing the gene for HER2/ neu (VRP- neu) were tested by an active immunotherapeutic approach in tumor prevention models and in a metastasis prevention model.
The specificity of the effect of the anti-Rab3A antibodies was tested by blocking their active sites with recombinant Rab3A [ 8, 16].
The ability of P3155 to inhibit HIF-1α activity was tested by evaluating levels of transcriptionally active HIF-1α protein expressed in the nuclei of prostate cancer cells PC-3 and DU145 exposed to hypoxia.
The control law robustness is tested by connecting passive and active (induction machine) loads.
The characteristics of the sensor have been tested by the delay-line active oscillation circuit.
A monoclonal antibody against the first 6 amino acids of act-MMP-3 was developed, and the specificity was carefully tested by comparing total and active MMP-3.
Another possibility, which can be tested by the model, is that active Wnt signaling may switch on Notch activity, but not vice versa [ 7].
Gemifloxacin was the most active fluoroquinolone tested by using the NCCLS breakpoint (26 ), 49.3% of ciprofloxacin-resistant strains were nonsusceptible to this antimicrobial drug.
The anti-apoptotic action of active SGK-1, tested by measuring NDRG1 phosphorylation levels, was mediated by reduction of caspases activation (caspases 3, 8 and 9) and inhibition of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways in response to TNF- α with reduced levels of PARP-1 cleavage.
Non Destructive Testing (NDT) by active InfraRed Thermography (IRT) of bonded Carbon Fibers Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) laminates is a very challenging issue.
