Background DNA-based testing is becoming the preferred method both for identifying microorganisms and for characterizing microbial communities. However, no single DNA extraction method exists that is suitable for all types of microorganisms because b

Thymidylate synthase (TS) is the enzyme that catalyses the last step in de novo thymidylate synthesis. It is of interest clinically because it is an effective target for drugs such as 5-fluorouracil, often used in combination therapy. Despite a numbe

Stimulation of human peripheral blood granulocytes with the proinflammatory cytokine, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), increases incorporation of [3H]uridine into RNA. We investigated the nature of the RNA synthesized under

Measurement of thymidylate synthase (hTS) using immunohistochemical techniques has been reported in several clinical studies. However, its value as a prognostic indicator is still not clear. To pursue this, we have developed a new rabbit polyclonal a

Objective To investigate the frequency and characteristics of hprt- mutant T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and synovium of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients compared with controls, and to correlate these findings with disease parameters. Metho

Chronic inflammation is a recognized risk factor for human cancer, but the causal mechanisms are poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that platelet activating factor (PAF) can induce alterations in the in vitro growth properties of primary r

Phorbol ester treatment of granulocytes triggers release of superoxide (O2.-) and a concomitant burst of DNA strand breaks. The relationship between the amount of O2.- and the number of DNA breaks has not previously been explored. To quantify the rel

Although a useful and important method of gene transfer, retroviral vectors can be genetically unstable. In the course of experiments using DOEJS, a retroviral vector able to confer expression of a H-ras oncogene and a neomycin resistance gene (neo)

When human peripheral blood granulocytes were metabolically labeled at 37 degrees C with [32P]orthophosphate, inorganic polyphosphates became preferentially radiolabeled. Incorporation of radiolabel into the polymer appeared to be ATP-independent. [3

8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is now widely used as a sensitive marker of oxidative damage to DNA. When human granulocytes are stimulated with TPA, they release a large quantity of reactive oxygen species (superoxide, hydrogen peroxide) which migh
