Evaluation of a screening system for obesogenic compounds: screening of endocrine disrupting compounds and evaluation of the PPAR dependency of the effect.
hypothesis, a screening system for obesogenic compounds is urgently needed. In this study, we suggest a standardised protocol for obesogen screening based on the 3T3- L1 cell line, a well-characterised ...
Field evaluation of willow under short rotation coppice for phytomanagement of metal-polluted agricultural soils.
a sufficient metal uptake. This study evaluates growth, metal uptake and extraction potentials of eight willow clones (Belders, Belgisch Rood, Christina, Inger, Jorr, Loden, Tora and Zwarte Driebast) on ...
The origin of biased sequence depth in sequence-independent nucleic acid amplification and optimization for efficient massive parallel sequencing.
obtain viral sequences. However, these studies showed a biased distribution of the resulting sequence reads over the analyzed genomes. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms that lead to ...
In vitro and in vivo infectious potential of coxiella burnetii: a study on Belgian livestock isolates.
appeared as a clear public health concern. In the present study, the infectious potential displayed by goat and cattle isolates of C. burnetii was compared to a reference strain (Nine Mile) using both in ...
Validation of a commercially available indirect ELISA using a nucleocapside recombinant protein for detection of Schmallenberg virus antibodies.
it is a highly sensitive, specific and robust ELISA-test validated to detect anti- SBV antibodies. This test can be applied for SBV sero-diagnostics and disease-surveillance studies in ruminant species ...
Proteomic characterization of murid herpesvirus 4 extracellular virions.
neoplastic diseases. As EBV and KSHV are host-range specific and replicate poorly in vitro, animal counterparts such as Murid herpesvirus-4 (MuHV-4) have been widely used as models. In this study, we used ...
