Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to detect groups of viruses with the use of group-specific degenerate primers. Inosine residues are sometimes used in the primers to match variable positions within the complementary target sequences, but there is little data on their effects on cDNA synthesis
A cytochrome P450-like gene, tentatively named P450CMEF, was amplified by a mixed oligonucleotide-primed amplification of cDNA from C3H mouse embryo fibroblast cells, designated 10T1/2, that had been treated with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) or benz[a]anthracene (BA). A set of
Autoantibodies to the thyrotropin (TSH) hormone receptor (TSH-R) are present in the sera of patients with thyroid autoimmune disease which are pathogenetic leading to hyperthyroidism of Graves' disease. Considerable interest has been focused on the cloning of the human TSH-R, which has until very
METHODS
Assessment of the potential protective effects of inosine on an animal model of spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVE
Our previous studies have demonstrated that inosine can directly protect neurons in vitro from zinc-induced injury and axotomized retinal ganglion cells of rats in vivo. This
A modified protocol for cycle sequencing DNA amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is described. The method involves two sequential linear PCR amplifications using a small amount of double-stranded DNA as a template and a stringent annealing temperature: 1) alpha-35S-dATP labeling of specific
The effects of prolonged ischaemia and subsequent reperfusion during and after reconstructive microsurgery on energy metabolism were studied. Repeated skeletal muscle biopsies were taken and analysed for high energy phosphates and their degradation products by high performance liquid chromatography
Serine proteases are thought to be involved in the initial attack on sheep skin by Dermatophilus congolensis and are obvious antigens for inclusion in a vaccine to prevent lumpy wool disease (dermatophilosis). Degenerate primers were designed after alignment of seven bacterial serine proteases.
Viruses are important constraints to the movement and propagation of plant germplasm, especially for vegetatively propagated crops such as banana and plantain. Their control relies primarily on the use of virus-free plant material, whose production and certification requires sensitive and reliable
Damage to the central nervous system (CNS) is always followed by an irreversible axon degeneration of injured neurons. The purine nucleoside inosine has been shown to induce neurons to regenerate axons in culture and in vivo. In the present study, we investigated the in vivo effects of inosine on
Much effort has been directed toward the isolation and characterization of homeobox cDNAs from numerous cell types because they encode transcription factors important to many cellular processes, including pattern formation in the embryo, cell growth and cell differentiation. Many novel homeobox
Following an approach used to specifically identify polioviruses and enterovirus 71, we have developed reverse transcriptase (RT) PCR primers containing mixed-base residues or deoxyinosine at positions of codon degeneracy. These primers permit specific RT-PCR amplification of echovirus 30 (E30)
