Ultraviolet Absorbance and Circular Dichroism of Pf1 Virus: Nucleotide/Subunit Ratio of Unity, Hyperchromic Tyrosines and DNA Bases, and High Helicity in the Subunits
(1994)Data have been obtained for the Pfl virion that establish its stoichiometry and conformational features of its DNA and its protein. The absorbance spectrum of the dissociated virus under alkaline denaturing conditions is ...

The unknown caspase: The role of caspase-14 in cell death and disease
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2016)Caspase-14 is unique among caspase family proteases. It is the shortest member of the caspase family that was first described as a developmentally regulated protease due to its high expression in embryonic tissues. Based ...

Unpredictable Effects of the Genetic Background of Transgenic Lines in Physiological Quantitative Traits
(2019)Physiology, fitness and disease phenotypes are complex traits exhibiting continuous variation in natural populations. To understand complex trait gene functions transgenic lines of undefined genetic background are often ...

Use of coreceptors other than CCR5 by non-syncytium-inducing adult and pediatric isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 is rare in vitro
(1998)We have tested a panel of pediatric and adult human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) primary isolates for the ability to employ the following proteins as coreceptors during viral entry: CCR1, CCR2b, CCR3, CCR4, CCR5, ...

Use of real-time PCR and molecular beacons to detect virus replication in human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected individuals on prolonged effective antiretroviral therapy
(1999)We have designed a novel, precise, and sensitive assay to measure unspliced (US) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of HIV-1-infected individuals by using real-time PCR ...

Variable clinical presentation of an MUC1 mutation causing medullary cystic kidney disease type 1
(2014)Background and objectives The genetic cause of medullary cystic kidney disease type 1 was recently identified as a cytosine insertion in the variable number of tandem repeat region of MUC1 encoding mucoprotein-1 (MUC1), a ...

Variation in breeding parameters of Eleonora's falcon (Falco eleonorae) and factors affecting its reproductive performance
(2012)We gathered data for a four-year period (2004-2007) on the nesting ecology and reproductive performance of Eleonora's falcon in the Aegean Sea. We investigated in an indirect way the relation between clutch size and ...

vavCre transgenic mice: A tool for mutagenesis in hematopoietic and endothelial lineages
(2002)Cre transgenic mice can be used to delete gene sequences flanked by loxP sites in specific somatic tissues. We have generated vavCre transgenic mice, which can be used to inactivate genes specifically in adult hematopoietic ...

Vitamin E and cancer: An insight into the anticancer activities of vitamin E isomers and analogs
(2008)Current observations in the literature suggest that vitamin E may be a suitable candidate for the adjuvant treatment of cancer. Even though historically most research focused on α-tocopherol, more recent evidence suggests ...
