The most common complication was infection of the upper genital tract in five women. Two women presented with a severe, acute illness within 48 hours of termination, and C trachomatis was implicated in both. The results of bacteriological studies of both women before ter...

The determination of the tyrosine content of gelatins.

We are grateful to Miss M. B. Thomas for her skilled assistance throughout the work, and to Dr R. G. Sheperd, Dr G. W. Crosbie, Dr J. I. Harris and Dr R. I. T. Cromartie for most helpful advice and discussion. We thank Mrs B. Brown for the amino acid analyses and Dr F. L. Engel for the gift of corticotrophin concentrates and him and Dr H. E.

A novel platform for the production of nonhydroxylated gelatins based on the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha.

The use of yeast as a host for heterologous expression of proteins that are normally derived from animal tissue is a promising way to ensure defined products that are devoid of potential harmful animal side products. Here we report on the production and secretion of a custom-designed gelatin, Hu3-His8, by the yeast Hansenula polymorpha. We observed that Hu3-His8 was poorly secreted by the heter...
