Tissue expression of minor Histocompatibility antigens HA-1 and HA-2 is limited to the hematopoietic system. Therefore, ex vivo generated HA-1/HA-2 specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can be applied for adoptive immunotherapy of relapsed leukemia after HLA-matched HA-1/HA-2 mismatched stem cell transplantation. Here we used T cell receptor beta variable chain (TCRBV) spectratyping and/or TCRBV sequencing to monitor the specific TCR usage in eleven HA-1/HA-2 CTLs that were induced ex vivo with peptide pulsed dendritic cells. The HA-2 induced CTLs used different TCRBV. In contrast, the development of HA-1 specific CTLs coincided with prominent skewing of TCRBV7 spectratypes. Sequencing of the TCRBV7 specific PCR products used by these ex vivo generated HA-1 CTLs revealed the exclusive usage of TCRBV7-9*03, identical to the TCRBV used by HA-1 specific CTLs induced in vivo after stem cell transplantation. Thus, monitoring of immunotherapy with HA-1 specific CTLs is now also feasible by TCRBV spectratyping.

India produces an estimated 6.38 million tons of surplus sugarcane trash annually. When burned in fields, this trash emits approximately 12,948 kg CO equivalent greenhouse gases per hectare and causes nutrient losses (41 kg ha nitrogen, 5.

Introduction: Straw return combined with rational nitrogen (N) fertilization plays a critical role in coordinating the transformation of soil organic carbon and nitrogen availability, thereby improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), crop yield, and soil fertility. However, the dynamics of soil carbon and nitrogen fractions under straw return with varying N inputs, and their specific contributions to NUE and yield, remain unclear.
Methods: A three-year split-plot field experiment was conducted in the Tumochuan Plain Irrigation District.

Maize (Zea mays L.), a globally significant cereal of the Poaceae family, plays a pivotal role in food and feed security. However, its productivity is increasingly threatened by climate-induced drought stress and low organic matter content of soil, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions.

Background: Climate variability and agricultural management practices, particularly fertilizer use, jointly determine crop production and food security. Understanding their synergistic effects is essential for developing climate-resilient farming strategies, yet the complex interactions between climate and fertilizer use in shaping crop yields remain poorly understood. Focusing on winter wheat in China, this study evaluates how climate change and fertilizer use jointly influence yield dynamics using a panel data model that integrates growing degree days (GDD), extreme degree days (EDD), precipitation, and fertilizer interactions.
