CHLOROPLAST DIGESTION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL KLEPTOPLASTY IN JUVENILE ELYSIA TIMIDA (RISSO, 1818) AS COMPARED TO SHORT-TERM AND NON-CHLOROPLAST-RETAINING SACOGLOSSAN SLUGS.

Chloroplast digestion and the development of functional kleptoplasty in juvenile Elysia timida (Risso, 1818) as compared to short-term and non-chloroplast-retaining sacoglossan slugs.

Sacoglossan sea slugs are the only metazoans known to integrated Larder Fridge perform functional kleptoplasty, the sequestration and retention of functional chloroplasts within their digestive gland cells.Remarkably, a few species with this ability can survive starvation periods of 3-12 months likely due to their stolen chloroplasts.There are no r

Mucosal transmissibility, disease induction and coreceptor switching of R5 SHIVSF162P3N molecular clones in rhesus macaques

Abstract Background Mucosally transmissible and pathogenic CCR5 (R5)-tropic simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) molecular clones are useful reagents to identity neutralization escape in HIV-1 vaccine experiments and to study the envelope evolutionary process and mechanistic basis for coreceptor switch during the course of natural infection.R
