Type de bactériophage qui a un génome constitué d'ARN. Ce sont les plus simples des virus connus; ils ne contiennent que 3 gènes distribués le long de leur chromosome. Deux de ces trois gènes codent pour deux types de protéines de structure. L'une d'entre elles, la protéine capsidiaire au sens strict (CP) est présente à raison de 180 exemplaires dans chaque particule virale. L'autre protéine de structure est la protéine "A" (attachement), requise pour l'adsorption des phages sur les bactéries hôtes. 2, record 2, French, - phage%20%C3%A0%20ARN

L'infection par VIH : importance de facteurs de l'hôte. La découverte récente des co-récepteurs du VIH, les récepteurs des chimiokines CXCR et CCR, a permis de mieux comprendre l'entrée du virus dans les cellules, l'infection initiale touchant d'abord les macrophages, puis la maladie progressant avec infection des lymphocytes T. Les chimiokines, ligands naturels de ces récepteurs, pourraient protéger en partie le malade, ralentissant le cours de la maladie. [...] Certains facteurs de défense propres à l'hôte ont été mis à jour : une réponse immunitaire polyclonale, une polarisation de la réponse de type TH1 qui permet d'éliminer les pathogènes intracellulaires. 4, record 3, French, - facteur%20de%20l%27h%C3%B4te

The Coal Bowl Classic is a national invitational boy's high school basketball tournament held at Breton Education Center in New Waterford, Nova Scotia, Canada. A major facilitating factor is that all team members will be housed within one wing of the school. Breton Education Center is a junior-senior high school which opened in 1970. Interestingly, the host Breton Education Center Bears have yet to win the tournament championship. The tournament takes its name from the primary industry of New Waterford, coal mining. 1, record 4, English, - Coal%20Bowl%20Classic

Un anticorps dirigé contre le TNF (tumor necrosis factor) permet de prévenir le choc septique secondaire à une bactériémie expérimentale chez le babouin. (...) Injecté à l'animal, le TNF produit par recombinaison génétique provoque (...) un choc comparable à celui des septicémies. Le rôle du TNF comme intermédiaire du choc septique vient d'être illustré par le pouvoir protecteur contre ce dernier de l'injection préalable à des babouins d'anticorps anti-TNF. 1, record 5, French, - anticorps%20anti%2DTNF
