We tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes of the NF-κB pathway are associated with altered clinical outcome of septic shock patients. We genotyped 59 SNPs in the NF-κB pathway in a discovery cohort of septic…

Background: The association of elevated serum levels of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) in patients with cardiovascular disease and their presence in atherosclerotic lesions suggest the participation of sPLA2 enzymes in this disease. The presence…

The HLA-A02 subtyping in Thais was conducted and included in the 12th International Histocompatibility Workshop (12WS). A total of 81 randomized individuals previously serologically or DNA typed as A2 were studied for A2 subtypings. The subjects…

Friend murine leukemia virus (Fr-MLV) clone A8 causes spongiform neurodegeneration in the rat brain. The A8-env gene is a primary determinant of neuropathogenicity, and the 1.5-kb ClaI-HindIII fragment containing the LTR and 5' leader from A8 are…

Flat and depressed cancers of the colon have now been recognized in several centers throughout the world. We report here a case of a 0.8-mm depressed adenoma with high-grade dysplasia in a 70-year-old man. We believe this to be the smallest adenoma…

The conceptual ability to source, combine, and store substances that enhance technology or social practices represents a benchmark in the evolution of complex human cognition. Excavations in 2008 at Blombos Cave, South Africa, revealed a processing…

A 10,000 member peptide nucleic acid (PNA) encoded peptide library was prepared, treated with the Abelson tyrosine kinase (Abl), and decoded using a DNA microarray and a fluorescently labeled secondary antiphosphotyrosine antibody. A dual-color…

An integrated barley transcript map (consensus map) comprising 1,032 expressed sequence tag (EST)-based markers (total 1,055 loci: 607 RFLP, 190 SSR, and 258 SNP), and 200 anchor markers from previously published data, has been generated by mapping…

Truncations of the cytoplasmic tail of the HIV-1 transmembrane (TM) protein are rare and almost always markedly reduce virus infectivity. We describe a truncation of the gp41 cytoplasmic tail in the commonly used early HIV-1 reference strain RF.…

Background: All previously reported eukaryotic nuclear genome sequences have been incomplete, especially in highly repeated units and chromosomal ends. Because repetitive DNA is important for many aspects of biology, complete chromosomal structures…

In this paper, we describe the physical map and transcriptional organisation of a 100-kb region with the BRCA1 locus at 17q12-21. Using the cDNA of the EDH17B2 gene as a probe, we screened a human genomic cosmid library. Positive cosmid clones were…

Ra-reactive factor (RaRF), a C-dependent bactericidal factor in mice, is composed of one polysaccharide-binding component and one C4/C2-activating component. The former is an oligomer of 28-kDa protein corresponding to the mannose-binding protein of…

Numerous eukaryotic upstream promoter and enhancer regions contain a functional octamer sequence ATGCAAAT. We have examined the interactions between an octamer binding protein isolated from HeLa cells and the SV40 and immunoglobulin heavy-chain…

OBJECTIVE: To use genome-wide fixed marker arrays and improved analytical tools to detect genetic associations with type 2 diabetes in a carefully phenotyped human sample. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 1,087 Framingham Heart Study (FHS)…

The genome-length mRNA (mRNA 1) of the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) contains two large open reading frames (ORFs), 1a and 1b, with the potential to encode polypeptides of 441 and 300 kDa, respectively. The downstream ORF, ORF 1b, is…

Two proteins that specifically bind the T-cell growth factor interleukin 2 (IL-2) have been identified previously on the surface of T cells; these proteins have been designated IL-2R alpha and IL-2R beta for the alpha and beta chains of the IL-2…

The ability of Shigella flexneri to bind Congo red or hemin is associated with virulence. A 101-kilodalton (kDa) protein responsible for this phenotype (Crb+) in S. flexneri was identified by a tetramethylbenzidine staining procedure which detects…

Muscle electrical activity suppresses expression of the embryonic-type (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) genes. The molecular mechanism by which electrical activity regulates these genes is not known. One…
