Critical approaches to Soweto poetry : dilemmas in an emergent literature by Karassellos, Michael Anthony

“…A review of contemporary South African and European critical approaches 'to "Soweto poetry" is undertaken to evaluate their efficacy in addressing the diverse and complex dynamics evident in the poetry. A wide selection of poetry from the 1970's and early 1980's is used to argue that none of the critical models provide an adequate methodology free from both pseudo-cultural or ideological assumptions, and "reader-grid"(imposition of external categories upon the poems).From this point of entry, three groups of critics with similar approaches are assessed in relation to Soweto poetry. …”

Characterisation of human surfactant protein A and recombinant human vimentin in their modulation of HPV16 pseudovirus infection by Carse, Sinead

“…Compared to SP-A mediated modulation of HPV infection through activation of innate immune responses, rhVim was suggested to directly interfere with HPV entry into host cells. Indeed, supplementation with non-filamentous rhVim resulted in decreased viral uptake by NIKS cells which was confirmed in vivo using the murine C57BL/6 cervicovaginal HPV16-PsVs challenge model. …”
