Murine cd4+ T cell Responses are inhibited by cytotoxic T cell-mediated killing of dendritic cells and are restored by antigen transfer by Ma, Joel Zhi-Iong, Lim, So Nai, Qin, Jim Shixiang, Yang, Jianping, Enomoto, Noriyuki, Ruedl, Christiane, Ronchese, Franca

“…In contrast, the effects of CTL-mediated killing on CD4+ T cell responses have not been fully investigated. Here we use adoptive transfer of TCR transgenic T cells and DC immunization to show that specific CTL significantly inhibited CD4+ T cell proliferation induced by DC loaded with peptide or low concentrations of protein antigen. …”

An investigation of friction-based tendon sheath model appropriate for control purposes by Tjahjowidodo, Tegoeh, Lau, Michael Wai Shing, Phee, Soo Jay, Do, T. N.

“…A new dynamic friction model that allows accurate description of friction lag and hysteresis behavior in two regimes, i.e. presliding and sliding regimes, for a sheath in arbitrary configuration such as helical and spatial shape has been developed. In both regimes, an advanced set of velocity and acceleration dependent functions in a form of the Stribeck function and the modified normalized Bouc–Wen model are used to model friction characteristics between the tendon and the sheath. …”
