A PRODUCTIVE EXPRESSION PLATFORM DERIVED FROM HOST-RESTRICTED EILAT VIRUS: ITS EXTENSIVE VALIDATION AND NOVEL STRATEGY

A Productive Expression Platform Derived from Host-Restricted Eilat Virus: Its Extensive Validation and Novel Strategy

Most alphaviruses are transmitted by mosquitoes and infect a wide range of insects and vertebrates.However, Eilat virus (EILV) is defective for infecting vertebrate cells at multiple levels of the viral life cycle.This host-restriction property renders EILV an attractive expression platform since it is not infectious for vertebrates and therefore p

Lightweight concrete blocks with EVA recycled aggregate: a contribution to the thermal efficiency of building external walls

The regions with lots of shoe production suffer environmental impacts from waste generation during manufacturing of insoles and outsoles.Research conducted in Brazil has demonstrated the technical feasibility to recycle these wastes, especially Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), as lightweight aggregate, in the production of non-structural cement blocks
