A radiation hybrid map of the proximal short arm of the human X chromosome spanning incontinentia pigmenti 1 (IP1) translocation breakpoints
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
Radiation hybrid mapping was used in combination with physical mapping techniques to order and estimate distances between 14 loci in the proximal region of the short arm of the human X chromosome. A panel of radiation ...
Neurotoxic esterase: Characterization of the solubilized enzyme and the conditions for its solubilization from chicken brain microsomal membranes with ionic, zwitterionic, or nonionic detergents
(Elsevier, 1987-05-01)
Neurotoxic esterase (NTE) is a membrane-bound protein found in highest concentration in brain and lymphocytes. The enzyme has no known physiological function, but its organophosphorylation and aging in neural tissue are ...
Using sex-averaged genetic maps in multipoint linkage analysis when identity-by-descent status is incompletely known
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-07)
The ratio of male and female genetic map distances varies dramatically across the human genome. Despite these sex differences in genetic map distances, most multipoint linkage analyses use sex-averaged genetic maps. We ...
Follicle-stimulating hormone signal transduction: Role of carbohydrate in aromatase induction in immature rat Sertoli cells
(Elsevier, 1991-08)
Receptor activated adenylate cyclase acts as a major transmembrane signalling system. It is widely accepted that upon binding to its receptor, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) activates the cAMP-dependent pathway which ...
Syndrome X: Is it for real?
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998)
The term syndrome X has been applied to the association of hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), android obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. In this paper, based on population samples ...
Localization of the Gene for ATP Citrate Lyase (ACLY) Distal to Gastrin (GAS) and Proximal to D17S856 on Chromosome 17q12-q21
(Elsevier, 1994-05-15)
The gene encoding ATP-citrate lyase, designated ACLY, was mapped to human chromosome 17q12-q21 by PCR on a panel of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids and localized to 17q21.1 by PCH on a panel of radiation hybrids. The ...
Modeling and analyzing HIV transmission: the effect of contact patterns
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
A compartmental model is presented for the spread of HIV in a homosexual population divided into subgroups by degree of sexual activity. The model includes constant recruitment rates for the susceptibles in the subgroups. ...
Affinity binding of the cartilage proteoglycan protein-keratan sulfate core to immobilized hyaluronic acid
(Elsevier, 1978-10-01)
The protein-keratan sulfate core of bovine nasal cartilage proteoglycan was purified by affinity chromatography on a column of immobilized hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid was immobilized by reaction with a hydrazido-alkyl ...
Haplotype association analysis for late onset diseases using nuclear family data
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-04)
In haplotype-based association studies for late onset diseases, one attractive design is to use available unaffected spouses as controls (Valle et al. [1998] Diab. Care 21:949–958). Given cases and spouses only, the standard ...
Chloroquine accumulation and alterations of proteolysis and pinocytosis in the rat conceptus in vitro
(Elsevier, 1994-02-11)
The teratogenicity of chloroquine (CQ) has been hypothesized to result from its effects on lysosomal function, specifically the ability of the visceral yolk sac (VYS) to capture and degrade external macromolecules. Using ...
