Synthesis and Blood-Compatibility of Poly(ethylene-g-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate)
A novel graft copolymer consisting of commercial chlorosulfonated polyethylene and γ-benzyl-L-glutamate was synthesized. The graft yield was over 70% at a mild reaction condition while we did not observe any cros...

Identification of mutations that occurred on the genome of Japanese encephalitis virus during the attenuation process
The total nucleotide sequences of the genomes of two Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) strains, the attenuated vaccine strain SA14-14-2 and its parental virulent strain SA14, were determined by using the molecula...

On the number of guard edges of a polygon
This paper establishes tight bounds on the number of edges of a polygon from which every point in the polygon is visible; we call them guard edges. For a nonstarshaped polygon, there can be at most three guard...

Decreased Urinary Epidermal Growth Factor in Children with Acute Renal Failure: Epidermal Growth Factor/Creatinine Ratio Not a Reliable Parameter for Urinary Epidermal Growth Factor Excretion
To verify some animal experimental results in humans, we have studied urinary epidermal growth factor (EGF) excretion in normal children as well as children with acute renal failure (ARF). Urinary EGF excretio...

Plant Aminopeptidases: Occurrence, Function and Characterization
Peptidases have a central role in the degradation of proteins by hydrolyzing peptide bonds. Based on the reaction catalyzed, these enzymes can be classified as endopeptidases, aminopeptidases or carboxypeptida...

Open AccessHigh-does nitric oxide induces apoptosis in HL-60 human myeloid leukemia cells
The treatment of human promyeloid leukemia cell line HL-60 cells with nitric oxide (NO) is associated with loss of proliferative apacity and induction of monocytic differentiation. The present results demonstr...

Open AccessModulation of dopamine transporter functions by protein kinase C
The effects of phosphorylation on the functions of the bovine dopamine transporter (DAT) expressed in CV-1 cells were investigated. The cells expressing DAT stably were prepared by transfection of CV-1 cells (...

Abrupt decrease of c-myc expression by antisense transcripts induces terminal differentiation and apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells
This study was designed using c-myc antisense transcripts to evaluate how alteration of c-myc expression in human myeloid leukemic HL-60 cells could influence the myelomonocytic differentiation and induction o...

Open AccessModulation by aspartate of ischemia/reperfusion-induced oxidative stress in rat liver
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is related with oxygen free radicals; a reason which has been suggested for this is the conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) into xanthine oxidase (XO). In the present study, ...

Open AccessEffects of overexpression of stimulatory G proteins on the expression of the other G proteins in COS-1 cells
To investigate the interaction of stimulatory GTP binding protein (G(s)) pathways with others, we overexpressed wild type α subunit of G(s) (G(s) α), constitutively activated R201E G(s) α, and dominant negativ...

Open AccessTelomerase activity in benign and malignant human thyroid nodules
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein polymerase which contains an integral RNA and synthesizes TTAGGG nucleotide repeats at the ends of chromosomes in vertebrates. Accumulated evidence has indicated that telomera...

Expression of human immunodeficiency virus genes using baculovirus expression system
The structural protein genes of HIV-1 and HIV-2 have been expressed inSpodoptera frugiperda (SF) cells using baculovirus expression system. The noncoding flanking sequences of HIV structural genes were removed an...

DNA-based prenatal diagnosis of a Korean family with tyrosinase-related oculocutaneous albinism (OCA1)
Tyrosinase-related oculocutaneous albinism (OCA1), an autosomal recessive inborn error of pigmentation, is caused by the deficiency of tyrosinase. We had previously identified two different mutations of theTYR ge...

Open AccessStructure of human voltage-dependent calcium channel (VDCC) β3 subunit gene
In excitable and endocrine organs, calcium influxes through the voltage-dependent calcium channel (VDCC), composed of four (α1, α2, β, and δ) subunits. Four isoforms of β subunits (β1, β2, β3, β4) are known to...
