Isolation and characterization of a Forssman antigen-binding lectin from velvet bean ( Mucuna derringiana ) seeds
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-10)
A Forssman antigen (GalNAcα1-3GalNAcβ1-3Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glcβ1-1Cer)-binding lectin has been purified from velvet bean ( Mucuna derringiana ) seeds by a combination of affinity chromatography and reversed phase HPLC. This ...
Distribution and regulation of the candidate prohormone processing enzymes SPC2 and SPC3 in adult rat brain
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
A number of candidate mammalian prohormone processing enzymes related to the yeast Kex2 endoprotease have been cloned and demonstrated to cleave several prohormone precursors at single, pairs and tetra basic amino acid ...
Prodynorphin-derived peptide expression in primate cortex and striatum
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
The distributions of four prodynorphin-derived peptides, dynorphin A (1-17), dynorphin A (1-8), dynorphin B, and [alpha]-neo-endorphin were determined in 10 cortical regions and the striatum of the old world monkey (Macaca ...
Stabilization of high-affinity opioid agonist binding in neural cell membranes rigidified by cholesterol
(Elsevier, 1994-02-21)
Incorporation of cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHS) into membranes from SH-SY5Y human neural cells increased membrane microviscosity at both surface and core. In the rigidified membranes, [mu]-selective opioid agonists bound ...
Reduced 5-lipoxygenase metabolism of arachidonic acid in macrophages rrom 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-deficient rats
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
The peripheral blood monocyte (PBM) migrates into tissues and differentiates into mature tissue macrophages. Previous investigations from our laboratory have demonstrated that PBM have reduced 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) metabolism ...
Cloning and characterization of a pharmacologically distinct A1 adenosine receptor from guinea pig brain
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
Three full-length cDNA clones encoding the guinea pig A1 adenosine receptor have been isolated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and low-stringency hybridization screening of a guinea pig brain cDNA library. These three ...
Coupling an [alpha]2-Adrenergic receptor peptide to G-protein: A new photolabeling agent
(Elsevier, 1994)
A photoreactive derivative of a tetradecapeptide G-protein activator (peptide Q) derived from the [alpha]2-adrenergic receptor was designed and used to label purified G-protein (Go/Gi). N-bromoacetyl-N'-(3-diazopyruvoyl) ...
The Human 4F2 Antigen: Evidence for Cryptic and Noncryptic Epitopes and for a Role of 4F2 in Human T Lymphocyte Activation
(Elsevier, 1994-04-01)
T lymphocyte activation can be triggered through multiple distinct, but functionally related, pathways. Murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been used to characterize the surface components of several of these pathways, ...
Leuconostoc mesenteroides growth kinetics with application to bacterial profile modification
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-04-15)
Bacterial profile modification (BPM) is being developed as an oil recovery technique that uses bacteria to selectively plug oil depleted zones within a reservoir to divert displacing fluids (typically water) into oil-rich ...
