High levels of non-activated receptors in glucocorticoid-sensitive S49wt mouse lymphoma cells incubated with dexamethasone
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
Upon agonist binding the heteromeric glucocorticoid receptor complex under goes a conformational change (receptor activation). This event involves the dissociation of a dimer of 90 kDa heat shock proteins. Whereas receptor ...
Localization of parathyroid enlargement: experience with technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile and thallium-201 scintigraphy, ultrasonography and computed tomography
(Springer-Verlag, 1994-01)
Technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI), like thallium-201, has recently been introduced as a myocardial perfusion agent and is now also showing very promising results in parathyroid scintigrapy. The results of 201 ...
CCK antagonists reveal that CCK-8 and JMV-180 interact with different sites on the rat pancreatic acinar cell CCKA receptor
(Elsevier, 1994)
The ability of CCKA antagonists to inhibit full and partial CCK agonists of the rat pancreatic acinar cell CCKA receptor has been studied. When isolated rat pancreatic acini were superfused with CCK-8 (10 pM-1 nM) or CCK-4 ...
Protein tyrosine phosphatases: characterization of extracellular and intracellular domains
(Elsevier, 1994-02)
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play an important role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. With over 30 PTPs identified, the specific functions of these enzymes are now being addressed. The identification ...
Selective inhibition by alcohol and cortisol of natural killer cell activity of lymphocytes from cord blood
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
1. 1. The immunosuppressive effects of drugs such as alcohol or hormones such as cortisol may be age-related. To test this hypothesis, the authors investigated the in vitro effects of ethanol (EtOH) and cortisol on Natural ...
Nucleotide Sequence Analysis of 77.7 kb of the Human V[beta] T-Cell Receptor Gene Locus: Direct Primer-Walking Using Cosmid Template DNAs
(Elsevier, 1994-03-15)
The nucleotide sequence of 77.7 kb from the human T-cell receptor [beta]-chain locus was determined directly from three overlapping cosmid clones using the primer-walking approach. Computer-aided analyses of this sequence ...
Immunohistochemical localization of the mu opioid receptors
(Elsevier, 1994-11-10)
Using antibodies generated to the C-terminal 63 amino acids of the cloned rat mu receptor, the present study examines the distribution of the mu receptor-like immunoreactivity (li) in perfused rat brain sections. Generally, ...
Clocinnamox blocks only mu receptors irreversibly: Binding evidence
(Elsevier, 1994-11-10)
Effects of tobacco smoking on the topographic EEG I
(Elsevier, 1994-09)
1. 1. The EEG and cardiovascular effects of smoking tobacco cigarettes of varying nicotine content were studied in Japanese chronic tobacco smokers.2. 2. Thirteen female and fifteen male adult normal volunteers were recruited ...
A comparison of proteins and peptides as substrates for microsomal and solubilized oligosaccharyltransferase
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
A chemoenzymatic synthesis of homogeneous neoglycoproteins and glycopeptides was explored using oligosaccharyltransferase isolated from yeast. Neither the microsomal form nor the solubilized form of the enzyme catalyzed ...
