Application of 16S rRNA gene PCR to study bowel flora of preterm infants with and without necrotizing enterocolitis.

abstract：:Two new T-cell-based reporter cell lines were established to measure human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infectivity. One cell line naturally expresses CD4 and CXCR4, making it susceptible to X4-tropic viruses, and the other cell line, in which a CCR5 expression vector was introduced, is susceptible to both X4...
