1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignment of phage T4 endoribonuclease RegB

RegB is involved in the control of the phage T4 life cycle. It inactivates the phage early mRNAs when their translation is no more required. We determined its structure and identified residues involved in substrate binding. For this, all backbone and 90% of side-chain resonance frequencies were assigned.     

Use of an artificial antigen simulating the Salmonella O-determinant 4 for determining antibodies to Salmonella group B O-antigen in immunoenzyme analysis

The use of the artificial antigen abequosylmannoside copolymer with acrylamide in the enzyme immunoassay for the determination of antibodies in the sera of salmonellosis patients has enhanced the specificity of the serological diagnosis of group B salmonellosis in comparison with the use of the natural antiren, S. typhimurium lipopolysaccharide.     

Prise en charge des troubles de la reproduction chez l’adolescent

Adolescence is a period marked by the search for sexual identity. How do paraplegic or quadriplegic teenagers develop their sexual identity? How can the nursing team help them in this process? The authors study erection and the quality of sexual relations and then examine the problem of procreation. Early, practical information adapted to the neurological definition of the spinal cord injury is essential, with preservation of sperm prior to the development of urological and infectious complications. The authors report their experience of 24 paraplegic or tetraplegic teenagers at the CMPA in Neufmoutiers and the CECOS at Cochin Hospital in Paris.
