Reuber H35 rat hepatoma cells rounded and became spherical during hyperthermia at 42.5 degrees C. When returned to 37 degrees C, the cells recovered and spread out again. As soon as the cells had recovered from the morphologically expressed stress, they expressed tolerance to a second hyperthermia

The role of a heat-induced increase in nuclear protein mass in killing of cells by hyperthermia was investigated jointly by two groups that had previously reported apparently conflicting results. A correlation between the fraction of HeLa S3 cells killed and the protein content of nuclei isolated

BACKGROUND The mosquito, Aedes aegypti, is the principal vector of the Dengue and yellow fever viruses. During feeding, an adult female can take up more than its own body weight in vertebrate blood. After a blood meal females excrete large amounts of urine through their excretion system, the

Stabilates of Theileria parva sporozoites are mostly delivered in liquid nitrogen tanks to the East Coast fever immunization points. Using an in vitro titration model, we assessed the loss of infectivity of several stabilates when they are stored in ice baths for up to 24 h. Comparisons, with

Paclitaxel loaded thermosensitive magnetoliposomes containing 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-glycerol (PG) were prepared by thin film hydration method. Encapsulation efficiencies of paclitaxel and citric acid coated Fe(3)O(4)

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells heated in the presence of the membrane-active agents procaine, ethanol, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and glycerol were analysed for changes in fluorescence polarization of the lipid probe (1-[4(trimethylamino)phenyl]-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene, an indicator of

Heating of either Chinese hamster ovary or HeLa cells in medium containing glycerol protected against thermal killing. Above glycerol concentrations of 100 mM, protection of Chinese hamster ovary cells increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Exposure to glycerol only, before or after heating

A whole-cell assay technique for DNA polymerase alpha and beta was used to measure the activities of both enzymes in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells after hyperthermic treatment of 42.2 - 45.5 degrees C in acidic or basic environment and in the presence or absence of 5% glycerol. Cell survival was

BACKGROUND We have previously reported that glycerol acts as a chemical chaperone to restore the expression of WAF1 in some human cancer cell lines bearing mutant p53. Since the expression of WAF1 is up-regulated by activated wildtype p53, glycerol appears to restore wtp53 function. The aim of the

Localized drug delivery with ultrasound-induced hyperthermia can enhance the therapeutic index of chemotherapeutic drugs by improving efficacy and reducing systemic toxicity. A novel in vitro method for the activation of drug-loaded thermosensitive liposomes is described. In particular, a

The NS5B gene, cloned from Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) genome, was expressed in porcine kidney cells PK-15, natural host of CSFV. In purifying cytoplasmic extracts from these cells by means of different concentrations of salt, glycerol and detergent four fractions, namely crude supernatant

Classical swine fever (CSF), also known as hog cholera, is a highly contagious viral infection of swine caused by a member of the genus pestivirus of the family, Flaviviridae. The need for accurate laboratory diagnosis of CSF is particularly important as it is more reliable than clinical diagnosis.

Muscle energy metabolism was studied in 30 subjects after recovery from exercise hyperthermia syndrome (EHTS subjects) and 15 healthy men with identical physical activities. Blood lactate, free fatty acid (FFA), serum creatine kinase activity (CK), and glycerol and the temperature in the auditory

It has been speculated that, in malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) individuals, an abnormality of sympathetic activity is seen during stressful situations, such as exercise. The authors investigated whether muscle metabolism in eight MHS subjects, at rest and during moderate and heavy
