Field evaluation of CIEP and PCR detection/removal control methods of Aleutian mink disease (AD) in Canada
Detection/removal control method of Aleutian disease by CIEP detection of ADV-antibody and farm or barn depopulation/repopulation, have been the recommended approaches of AD control since mid 1970s. The detect...

Fibulins: Multiple roles in matrix structures and tissue functions
The fibulins are a family of secreted glycoproteins associated with basement membranes, elastic fibers, and other matrices. They are expressed in a variety of tissues. Association with these matrix structures ...

Open AccessDiversity of Cl− Channels
Cl− channels are widely found anion pores that are regulated by a variety of signals and that play various roles. On the basis of molecular biologic findings, ligand-gated Cl− channels in synapses, cystic fibrosi...

Expression of an Artificial Cl− Channel in Microperfused Renal Proximal Tubules
To better understand the process of fluid movement driven by Cl− conductance, a Cl− channel-forming peptide was delivered to the luminal membrane of microperfused rabbit renal proximal tubules. When the peptide (...

Structural Implications of Placing Cationic Residues at either the NH2- or COOH-Terminus in a Pore-forming Synthetic Peptide
Restoration of chloride conductance via introduction of an anion-selective pore, formed by a channel-forming peptide, has been hypothesized as a novel treatment modality for patients with cystic fibrosis. Deli...

Chemical diversity in lipopeptide antifungal antibiotics
In the course of screening for antifungal antibiotics, we have discovered a novel series of lipopeptide compounds structurally related to, but highly superior to, echinocandin B in terms of their water solubil...

Extracellular processing of dentin matrix protein in the mineralizing odontoblast culture
Odontoblasts that we prepared from bovine incisors produced a dentin-specific protein, phosphophoryn, and accumulated it in mineralized nodules. The time course of mineralization was detected by measuring oste...

Butanol extracts from myelin fragments. IV. Some interactions between 5-hydroxytryptamine and other neurotransmitters binding
To examine the interaction between 5-HT and other neurotransmitters binding to the butanol extracts from myelin, double labelling experiments were done. The binding peaks of C14. ACh and NA were clearly different...

5-Hydroxytryptamine binding to butanol extracts from myelin fragments
The myelin fraction of rat brain stem was treated with butanol-water mixtures, and the extracted proteolipids were separated by Sephadex LH20 column chromatography. 2 peaks of proteolipids eluted in chloroform-me...

Distribution of H3-dimetacrine in rat cerebral cortex by electron microscopic autoradiography
The cellular distribution of H3-dimetacrine in rat cerebral cortex was studied by electron microscopic autoradiography. A considerable proportion of autoradiographic grains (40.6%) was located over the synaptic a...
