Violacein@Biogenic Ag system: synergistic antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

abstract：:Since T cells express diverse sex steroid hormone receptors, they might be a good model to evaluate the effects of sex steroid hormones on immune modulation. Porcine testicular extract contains several sex steroid hormones and may be useful to study the effects of sex steroid hormones during T cell activation. We have...
