Induction of NF-[chi]B during monocyte differentiation is associated with activation of HIV-gene expression
(Elsevier, 1991)
Cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage are important targets of HIV infection. We report here that the phenotypic differentiation of monocyte cell lines induced by phorbol esters or tumour necrosis factor [alpha] ...
Sensitization to systemic amphetamine produces an enhanced locomotor response to a subsequent intra-accumbens amphetamine challenge in rats
(Springer-Verlag, 1991-05)
Repeated amphetamine (AMPH) administration into the nucleus accumbens does not enhance (sensitize) the locomotor activity produced by a subsequent systemic AMPH challenge. We report here, however, that pretreatment with ...
Heat capacity and thermodynamic properties of synthetic heazlewoodite, Ni3S2, and of the high-temperature phase Ni3±xS2
(Elsevier, 1991-01)
The heat capacity of synthetic heazlewoodite (Ni3S2) was measured over the temperature range 5 K to 350 K by equilibrium adiabatic calorimetry and compared with earlier results. High-temperature results on this phase and ...
Effects of single and repeated electroconvulsive therapy sessions on plasma ACTH, prolactin, growth hormone and cortisol concentrations
(Elsevier, 1991)
To study the effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on hormone release, we measured circulating concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), prolactin (PRL), growth hormone (GH) and cortisol (CORT) immediately ...
Stereoselective high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for pirmenol enantiomers in dog plasma
(Elsevier, 1991-12-15)
Pirmenol enantiomers in dog plasma were quantified using a stereospecific high-performance liquid chromatographic method with ultraviolet detection at 262 nm. Racemic pirmenol and internal standard, (+)-propranolol, were ...
A phase variation event that activates conjugation functions encoded by the Enterococcus faecalis plasmid pAD1
(Elsevier, 1991-11)
Enterococcus faecalis cells carrying the conjugative plasmid pAD1 undergo several related changes when induced by the sex pheromone cAD1. Included are the production of novel surface proteins, the formation of cellular ...
Thermodynamic properties of ammonium haloplatinates: II. Heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of deuterated ammonium hexachloroplatinate (ND4)2PtCl6 at temperatures from 5 K to 350 K
(Elsevier, 1991-07)
The heat capacity of deuterated ammonium hexachloroplatinate (ND4)2PtCl6 was measured at temperatures from 5 K to 350 K by adiabatic calorimetry. One λ-shaped anomaly, absent in the undeuterated salt, was found in ...
A quantitative dot-blot immunoassay for integral membrane proteins: Preparation of pancreatic plasma membranes containing apical and basolateral domains
(Elsevier, 1991-01)
Modifications of standard dot-blot immunoassay techniques have been made for the quantitation of integral membrane protein antigens. The modification involves the signal development step, which is performed by using ...
A synthesis of (+)-7-Epiaustraline and (-)-7-Epialexine
(Elsevier, 1991-09-30)
Reductive cyclization of the azido epoxides 19[alpha] and 19[beta] followed by deprotection afforded the HIV inhibitor (+)-7-epiaustraline 7 and (-)-7-epialexine 9. The formation of 7 proceeded with an unusual inversion ...
Time course of transient behavioral depression and persistent behavioral sensitization in relation to regional brain monoamine concentrations during amphetamine withdrawal in rats
(Springer-Verlag, 1991-04)
This experiment was designed to characterize the withdrawal syndrome produced by discontinuation of treatment with escalating, non-neurotoxic doses of d -amphetamine (AMPH). AMPH withdrawal was associated with both transient ...
