Different immunotherapy approaches for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases are being developed and tested in clinical studies worldwide. Their resulting complex experimental data should be properly evaluated, therefore reliable normal healthy control baseline values are indispensable.<br/><br/>Kristina Gruden, Matjaž Hren, Ana Herman, Andrej Blejec, Tanja Albrecht, Joachim Selbig, Chris Bauer, Johannes Schuchardt, Michal Or-Guil, Klemen Zupančič, Urban Svajger, Borut Stabuc, Alojz Ihan, Andreja Nataša Kopitar, Maja Ravnikar, Miomir Knežević, Primož Rožman, Matjaž Jeras (2012) <i>PLoS One</i> <i></i> <i></i> 7: 1 <br/>

To investigate the dynamics of the potato - Potato virus Y (PVY) compatible interaction in relation to salicylic acid - controlled pathways we performed experiments using non-transgenic potato cv.

In nature the aerial trace of pheromone used by male moths to find a female appears as a train of discontinuous pulses separated by gaps among a complex odorant background constituted of plant volatiles. We investigated the effect of such background odor on behavior and coding of temporal parameters of pheromone pulse trains in the pheromone olfactory receptor neurons of Spodoptera littoralis.
