Identification of a mutation in porcine ryanodine receptor associated with malignant hyperthermia.

Haplotyping suggests that the mutation in all five breeds of lean, heavily muscled swine has a common origin, and the development of a noninvasive diagnostic test will provide the basis for elimination of the MH gene or its controlled inclusion in swine breeding programs.

The novel apolipoprotein A5 is present in human serum, is associated with VLDL, HDL, and chylomicrons, and circulates at very low concentrations compared with other apolipoproteins.

These data demonstrate for the first time that ApoA5 is a secreted protein present in human serum and is associated with specific lipoprotein particles, and indicate that the circulating concentration of human Apo A5 is very low compared with other apolipoproteins.

Thrombin Responses in Human Endothelial Cells

PAR1 is the predominant thrombin receptor expressed in HUVEC and cleavage of PAR1 is required for endothelial cell responses to throm bin; although PAR3 may be expressed, there is still no evidence that it mediatesThrombin responses; and transactivation of PAR2 by cleaved PAR1 can contribute to endothelialcell responses to Thrombin, particularly when signaling through PAR1 has been blocked.

Method Validation and Measurement of Biomarkers in Nonclinical and Clinical Samples in Drug Development: A Conference Report

This summary report of the workshop focuses on the major issues discussed during presentations and open forums and noted consensus achieved among the participants on topics from nomenclature to best practices.

Protease activated receptors: theme and variations

This review focuses on recent information about the manner in which signaling through these receptors is initiated and terminated, including evidence for inter- as well as intramolecular modes of activation, and continuing efforts to identify additional, biologically-relevant proteases that can activate PAR family members.

THE FEEDBACK CONTROL OF SUGAR NUCLEOTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS IN LIVER.

The design of a 4,096 word one microsecond magnetic film store, presented at Western Electronics Show and Conference, Los Angeles, August 1962; Second International Conference on Information Processing (IFIP), Munich, Germany, August-September 1962.

Thrombin Responses in Human Endothelial Cells CONTRIBUTIONS FROM RECEPTORS OTHER THAN PAR1 INCLUDE THE TRANSACTIVATION OF PAR2 BY THROMBIN-CLEAVED PAR1*

PAR1 is the predominant thrombin receptor expressed in HUVEC and cleavage of PAR1 is required for endothelial cell responses toThrombin, and transactivation of PAR2 by cleaved PAR1 can contribute to endothelial cells responses to throm bin, particularly when signaling through PAR2 is blocked.

Targeting of HIV- and SIV-infected cells by CD4-chemokine receptor pseudotypes.

Retroviral vectors containing CD4 and an appropriate chemokine receptor were evaluated and were able to target HIV- and SIV-infected cell lines and monocyte-derived macrophages in a manner that corresponded to the specificity of the viral envelope glycoprotein for its CD4-chemokine receptors complex.
