Inner tube growth and electronic properties of metallicity-sorted nickelocene-filled semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes
In the present work, we have obtained metallicity-sorted nickelocene-filled semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by density gradient separation of metallicity mixed filled nanotubes. Double-w...

Ultrafast Relaxation of the S2 Excited State in β-Carotene and its Homologs: A Role of Intermediate States
Time-resolved absorbance change and fluorescence in carotenoids with several conjugation lengths have been investigated. Ultrafast optical responses are explained by relaxation of excited states and resonant n...

Telomere size and telomerase activity in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive and EBV-negative Burkitt’s lymphoma cell lines
The telomere repeat lengths of BL cell lines were quantified by measuring terminal restriction fragment (TRF). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive Namalwa, Raji, and EB-3 cell lines have long telomeres, i.e. TRF...

A monoclonal antibody that recognizes Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA 2) amino acids 1–58 does not react with EBNA 2 in native form, consistent with the self-association of EBNA 2 through the amino-terminus
We have generated a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that recognizes amino acids 1–58 of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA 2) of type 1 EBV strain B95-8. mAb Y101 also reacted with EBNA 2 of EB...

Dynamics of Carotenoids Probed by Femtosecond Absorption, Fluorescence, and Raman Spectroscopy
Ultrafast optical responses in β-carotene and lycopene depend on the pump wavelength. Excess vibrational energy induced by the photoexcitation remains longer than several picoseconds in the excited states and slo...

Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen-1 colocalizes with lamin B1 in the nucleoplasm and along the nuclear rim
Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1) is essential for the maintenance of latent EBV plasmids, and is also a transcriptional regulator. Nuclear lamins, components of the nuclear lamina, have also been...

Importance of intra-abdominal visceral fat accumulation to coronary atherosclerosis in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia
OBJECTIVES: Hyper-low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterolaemia is a potent risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis. We have recently demonstrated that a cluster of risk factors including insulin resistance,...

Dietary effect of a symmetrical triacylglycerol, 1,3-biseicosapentaenoyl-2-γ-linolenoyl glycerol, on fatty acid composition of guinea pigs
The dietary effect of 1,3-biseicosapentaenoyl-2-γ-linolenoyl glycerol (STG) on the fatty acid composition of guinea pigs was examined and compared with that of an eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (EPA-F) and ...
