), which is a single-stranded plus sense RNA virus. It has been previously reported that a human host factor, RNA helicase A (RHA), is packaged into HIV virions by binding to the primer binding site (PBS) segment of the 5'untranslated region in the HIV...
Investigating the bifunctional chelate approach for radiopharmaceutical development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain a radioactive atom for the purpose of imaging or therapy of disease. The type of emission determines the ...
Regulation of Antimicrobial Peptide Genes in Insects by the Toll Pathway and NF-kB Transcription Factors
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Insects lack adaptive immunity and solely rely on innate immunity to combat
pathogens. Innate immunity in dipteran and lepidopteran insects mainly depends on two
canonical pathways, the Toll pathway that provides ...
A study of learner experience design and learning efficacy of mobile microlearning in journalism education
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
