Erik Carter: Well, from what I gathered from the paper, they targeted a highly conserved region of the HA protein. There is a supplementary article from the same issue of Science that provides an illustr... [read more]

Clifford Mintz: Hi Erik, How cool is that! Nice find...have they developed a similar app for the iphone?

Erik Carter: Yes. But for the iphone it is called GeneIndexAF...I don't know if it is different from the iPad version, though. It has the same thumbnail image, so I would assume it's not that different. ... [read more]

Erik Carter: We need Dickson here!!! haha

Erik Carter: Could they lay their eggs in subways? The eggs wouldn't need to be extremely winter hardy since subways are typically relatively warm. I guess there would need to be puddles down their, thou... [read more]

Agyeman-Badu Ken Yaw: I guess these little creatures know their surroundings and what is around them and they will act in accordance. They will lay eggs which can withstand any condition they find themselves in s... [read more]

Erik Carter: Yes, I try not to be overly optimistic since there have been so many failures in the past. But I've heard that now there are several broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV that have be... [read more]

Agyeman-Badu Ken Yaw: Thanks and a Nice paper but what i still have problem is why the MABs are not neutralizing 100% of the circulating HIV -1 isolates??? 10% still means something.

Agyeman-Badu Ken Yaw: I think this NAbs are promising vaccines for HIV free people but not already affected people. I am still looking forward to Frank Buckholz of Max Plank's LTR's method. I think if he is to co... [read more]

Erik Carter: When viruses travel along microtubules, they typically do so passively from within a vacuole that is carted by motor proteins, correct? I wonder how AcMNPV travels along actin. Does it do so... [read more]

Agyeman-Badu Ken Yaw: I also think the virus will do so in a vacuole because i dont think it will expose itself to the nuclear conditions without adjusting itself and doing so would be a vacuole somehow atached t... [read more]
