PLANT FERTILIZATION INTERACTS WITH LIFE HISTORY: VARIATION IN STOICHIOMETRY AND PERFORMANCE IN NETTLE-FEEDING BUTTERFLIES.

Plant fertilization interacts with life history: variation in stoichiometry and performance in nettle-feeding butterflies.

Variation in food stoichiometry affects individual performance and population dynamics, but it is also likely that species with different life histories should differ in their sensitivity to food stoichiometry.To address this question, we investigated the ability of the three nettle-feeding butterflies (Aglais urticae, grand love red heart reposado

The human adenovirus type 5 E1B 55 kDa protein obstructs inhibition of viral replication by type I interferon in normal human cells.

Vectors derived from human adenovirus type 5, which typically lack the E1A and E1B genes, induce robust innate immune responses that limit their therapeutic efficacy.We reported previously that the E1B 55 kDa protein inhibits expression of a set of cellular genes turbo air m3f72-3-n that is highly enriched for those associated with anti-viral defen
