Abstract:: ... POLONELLI, L. & MORACE, G., 1989. Serological potential for fungal identification. Specific antigens are valuable for the identification of fungal cultures. Early attempts to immunoidentify fungi were hampered by heterogeneity of antigens, antibody preparations and use of improper serological procedures. In recent years, the double diffusion exoantigcn technique has proved to be the most effective ...

Abstract:: ... A transposon mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides WS8 was isolated that showed reduced swarming on soft agar plates. Liquid cultures of this mutant (M18) showed a low percentage of motile swimming cells in mid‐exponential phase and a low level of extracellular flagellin protein by Western blotting. M18 was complemented by a clone from a library of R. sphaeroides WS8 DNA, and restriction mapping of th ...

Abstract:: ... Previous results from our laboratory have demonstrated that type I DNA topoisomerase activity is required for the replication and gene expression of pseudorabies virus (PRV). In the present report, we further analyzed the expression of topoisomerase I in PRV-infected cells, and the western blot result showed that the expression of topoisomerase I was increased after virus infection. The increase s ...

Abstract:: ... Insulin action is initiated by binding to its cognate receptor, which then triggers multiple cellular responses by activating different signaling pathways. There is evidence that insulin receptor signaling may involve G protein activation in different target cells. We have studied the activation of G proteins in rat hepatoma (HTC) cells. We found that insulin stimulated binding of guanosine 5′-O-( ...
