A temperature-dependent virus-binding assay reveals the presence of neutralising antibodies in human cytomegalovirus gB vaccine recipients’ sera by Gomes, Ariane, Baraniak, Ilona, McIntosh, Megan, Sodi, Isabella, Langstone, Tony, Siddiqui, Saima, Atkinson, Claire, McLean, Gary R., Griffiths, Paul D., Reeves, Matthew B.

“…We go on to show that this is not a general feature of gB neutralizing antibodies suggesting specific antibody responses induced by vaccination could be important. Although we can find no evidence that these neutralizing antibody responses are a correlate of protection in vivo in transplant recipients their identification demonstrate the utility of the approach in identifying these responses. …”

Experiences of Older Undergraduate Students in Higher Education: Constructions of Age and Gender by Massey, Anne

“…I show that neoliberal imperatives, such as are contained in discourses of ‘Lifelong Learning’ and 'Active Ageing', become the standards by which individuals are measured and measure themselves.

“…Each work is a standing document, but also part of a compendium of memories made, in this case, of images and narratives that intertwine with one another, as if they were branches of a tree – itself a symbol that we frequently find in Marta Czok's works. For Palazzo Mathis in Bra, this concept became the stimulus for a retrospective exhibition that looked at the artist's overall work, highlighting particular moments through a selection of four themes: AURUM (gold representations), CIVITAS (scenes of social life), VENUS (female representations), URBS (cityscapes). …”
