Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.

Neisseria meningitidis are common colonizers of the human nasopharynx. In some circumstances, N. meningitidis becomes an opportunistic pathogen that invades tissues and causes meningitis. While a vaccine against a number of serogroups has been in effective use for many years, a vaccine against N. meningitidis group B has not yet been universally adopted. Bacterial heat shock protein complex (HSPC) vaccines comprise bacterial HSPs, purified with their chaperoned protein cargo. HSPC vaccines use the intrinsic adjuvant activity of their HSP, thought to act via Toll-like receptors (TLR), to induce an immune response against their cargo antigens. This study evaluated HSPC vaccines from N. meningitidis and the closely related commensal N. lactamica.', 'The protein composition of N. lactamica and N. meningitidis HSPCs were similar. Using human HEK293 cells we found that both HSPCs can induce an innate immune response via activation of TLR2. However, stimulation of TLR2 or TLR4 deficient murine splenocytes revealed that HSPCs can activate an innate immune response via multiple receptors. Vaccination of wildtype mice with the Neisseria HSPC induced a strong antibody response and a Th1-restricted T helper response. However, vaccination of mice deficient in the major TLR adaptor protein, MyD88, revealed that while the Th1 response to Neisseria HSPC requires MyD88, these vaccines unexpectedly induced an antigen-specific antibody response via a MyD88-independent mechanism.
Do heat shock protein complex vaccines induce antibodies against Neisseria meningitidis via a MyD88-independent mechanism?

The human immunodeficiency virus Vif protein overcomes the inhibitory activity of the APOBEC3G cytidine deaminase by prohibiting its packaging into virions. Inhibition of APOBEC3G encapsidation is paralleled by a reduction of its intracellular level presumably caused by the Vif-induced proteasome-dependent degradation of APOBEC3G.', 'In this report we employed confocal microscopy to study the effects of Vif on the expression of APOBEC3G on a single cell level. HeLa cells dually transfected with Vif and APOBEC3G expression vectors revealed efficient co-expression of the two proteins. Under optimal staining conditions approximately 80% of the transfected cells scored double-positive for Vif and APOBEC3G. However, the proportion of double-positive cells observed in identical cultures varied dependent on the fixation protocol and on the choice of antibodies used ranging from as low as 40% to as high as 80% of transfected cells. Importantly, single-positive cells expressing either Vif or APOBEC3G were observed both with wild type Vif and a biologically inactive Vif variant. Thus, the lack of APOBEC3G in some Vif-expressing cells cannot be attributed to Vif-induced degradation of APOBEC3G. These findings are consistent with our results from immunoblot analyses that revealed only moderate effects of Vif on the APOBEC3G steady state levels. Of note, viruses produced under such conditions were fully infectious demonstrating that the Vif protein used in our analyses was both functional and expressed at saturating levels.
Does production of infectious human immunodeficiency virus type 1 require depletion of APOBEC3G from virus-producing cells?

To test whether there is undersulfation of chondroitin sulfate in osteoarthritic bovine articular cartilage to support the hypothesis that sulfate deficiency is involved with the development of osteoarthritis.', 'Cartilage samples from bovine patellae (n = 32) were divided into 3 groups based on their osteoarthritic progression, as assessed by modified Mankin score. Uronic acid contents of the samples were determined. Fragmentation of the proteoglycans due to proteolytic processing was estimated with agarose gel electrophoresis. The molar ratios of chondroitin sulfate isoforms in the extracted proteoglycans were determined with fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis.', 'Loss of proteoglycans and accumulation of tissue water was evident in groups II and III, and progressive OA increased heterogeneity of aggrecan population in groups II and III. Importantly, the molar ratio of nonsulfated disaccharide was decreased in the osteoarthritic articular cartilage.

Does undersulfated chondroitin sulfate increase in osteoarthritic cartilage?
