Hormonal regulation of plasminogen activator in rat hepatoma cells
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Martinus Nijhoff Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1983-03)
Plasminogen activators are membrane-associated, arginine-specific serine proteases which convert the inactive plasma zymogen plasminogen to plasmin, an active, broad-spectrum serine protease. Plasmin, the major fibrinolytic ...
Virulent mutants of phage P22 : II. Physiological analysis of P22 virB-3 and its component mutations
(Elsevier, 1972-03)
The virulent mutant of phage P22, virB-3, consists of two mutations: K5, which maps in the c2 repressor gene, and Vx, which maps between c2 and c3. Although neither P22 K5 nor P22 Vx is virulent, each of these mutants can ...
Identification of the human CYS1 gene and candidate gene analysis in Boichis disease
(Springer-Verlag; IPNA, 2003-06)
Recessive mutations cause cystic kidney disease and a variable degree of biliary liver fibrosis in cpk mice. Recently, the responsible murine gene ( Cys1 ) was identified and expression in renal cilia demonstrated. Here ...
Effects of serum and insulin-like growth factors on human neuroblastoma cell growth
(Elsevier, 1993-10-20)
Insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) are mitogenic polypeptides expressed in both developing and adult tissues. To examine the effects of IGFs on neuronal growth, we used SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells as an in vitro ...
Risk perception and concern among brothers of men with prostate carcinoma
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-04-01)
BACKGROUND It is important for clinicians, researchers, and others who shape public health policy to understand the demographic correlates and psychologic factors that drive health behaviors, such as screening for early ...
Stable induction of a 51K cellular protein in neuronal cells surviving herpes simplex virus type 1 infection
(Elsevier, 1985-04-30)
A series of survivor cell lines derived by infection of B103 rat neuroma cells with active wild-type herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) (M. Levine, A. L. Goldin, and J. C. Glorioso, J. Virol. 35, 203-210 (1980)) has been ...
A phage P22 gene controlling integration of prophage
(Elsevier, 1967-02)
A mutually noncomplementing group of phage P22 mutants (L mutants) have been isolated which cannot accomplish a late step necessary for prophage integration. L mutants produce turbid plaques and lead to cell survival on ...
Gene expression of the insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
Insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF I and II) are polypeptides with both growth-promoting and insulin-like metabolic effects16,27. Immunoreactive IGF I is present in the retina14 and both IGF I and II are present in ...
Inhibition of glycosylation of herpes simplex virus glycoproteins: Identification of antigenic and immunogenic partially glycosylated glycopeptides on the cell surface membrane
(Elsevier, 1983-04-15)
The surface membranes of cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), strain KOS, contain three principal glycoproteins, gC (apparent Mr 129k), gB (apparent Mr 120k), and gD (apparent Mr 58k). Infections carried ...
