Principles for Quality Undergraduate Education in Psychology

Book Summary: This title examines what our students need to know to be psychologically literate citizens of the contemporary world, caring family members, and productive workers who can meet today\u27s challenges. It contains the expert opinions of a leading group on the topic, creates a powerful new model for educating psychologically literate citizens and provides a handbook of evidence-based practical pedagogy with substantive resource materials applicable to every campus and its faculty

Identification of vaccine candidates against serogroup B meningococcus by whole-genome sequencing.

Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of bacterial septicemia and meningitis. Sequence variation of surface-exposed proteins and cross-reactivity of the serogroup B capsular polysaccharide with human tissues have hampered efforts to develop a successful vaccine. To overcome these obstacles, the entire genome sequence of a virulent serogroup B strain (MC58) was used to identify vaccine candidates. A total of 350 candidate antigens were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and used to immunize mice. The sera allowed the identification of proteins that are surface exposed, that are conserved in sequence across a range of strains, and that induce a bactericidal antibody response, a property known to correlate with vaccine efficacy in humans
