EFFECTS OF MOVEMENT PROTEIN MUTATIONS ON THE FORMATION OF TUBULES IN PLANT PROTOPLASTS EXPRESSING A FUSION BETWEEN THE GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN AND CAULIFLOWER MOSAIC VIRUS MOVEMENT PROTEIN

Fusions between the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) movement protein (MP) induce the formation of fluorescent foci and surface tubules in Arabidopsis thaliana leaf mesophyll protoplasts.Tubules elongate coordinately and progressively in an assembly process approximately 6 to 12 h following transfection of pro

Oncolytic virotherapy has shown impressive results in preclinical studies and first promising therapeutic outcomes in clinical trials as well.Since viruses are known for a long time as excellent vaccination agents, oncolytic viruses are now designed as novel anticancer agents combining the aspect of lysis-dependent cytoreductive activity with conco

Chordoma is Shorts a rare tumor, often occurring in the cervical spine and sacrococcygeal spine with a lytic appearance, but rarely in the thoracolumbar spine.Chordomas can occasionally be sclerotic and are included in the differential diagnosis for an ivory vertebra.We present a case of a sclerotic chordoma in an upper lumbar vertebral body with c
