COMBATING THE SARS-COV-2 OMICRON (BA.1) AND BA.2 WITH POTENT BISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES ENGINEERED FROM NON-OMICRON NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODIES

Combating the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (BA.1) and BA.2 with potent bispecific antibodies engineered from non-Omicron neutralizing antibodies

Abstract The highly mutated and transmissible Omicron (BA.1) and its more contagious lineage BA.2 have provoked serious concerns over their decreased sensitivity to the current COVID-19 vaccines and evasion from most anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies (NAbs).In this study, we explored the possibility of combating the Omicron and BA.2 by constr

Control of Prioritized and Separated Periodic/Aperiodic Task

Robots are typically expected to perform multiple Needs Audit tasks.For realizing multiple tasks using multi-degrees-of-freedom of a robot, priority control was developed.The priority control prioritizes conflicting tasks by projecting lower-priority task velocity into a null space of higher-priority task spaces.Similarly, for realizing two tasks o

Do partial AZFc deletions affect the sperm retrieval rate in non-mosaic Klinefelter patients undergoing microdissection testicular sperm extraction?

Abstract Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic factors for sperm retrieval and determine if Y chromosome deletion is associated with deleterious effects on spermatogenesis in non-mosaic Klinefelter patients.Whether Y chromosome deletion determines the sperm retrieval rate in non-mosaic Klinefelter patients has not yet b
