Biological characterization of clones derived from the edmonston strain of measles virus in comparison with schwarz and CAM-70 vaccine strains

Four virus clones were derived from the Edmonston strain of measles virus by repeated plaque purification.These clones were compared with the vaccine strains Schwarz and CAM-70 in terms of biological activities including plaque formation, hemagglutination, hemolysis and replication in Vero cells and chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF).Two clones of inte

Opposite sex housing enhances reproductive function and induces transcriptional changes in the preoptic area of GnRH-deficient mice

Sexual interactions have previously been shown to improve reproductive health through unknown mechanisms.In this study, we used RNA-Seq to examine sex-induced gene expression changes in the preoptic area (POA), a critical reproductive brain region.Using a mouse model defective in fibroblast growth factor signaling (dnFGFR mouse), previously shown t
