This paper describes results of a population study of two X-linked STR microsatellite markers: DXS7108 and DXS1196. 298 samples of DNA of unrelated persons (male and female) from the Northern part of Poland were analyzed. DNA was isolated using a non-enzymatic method. After amplification PCR products were separated by means of capillary electrophoresis using the ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer. ...

Figure 1. Detection of Borna disease virus (BDV)–specific nucleic acid in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of a man with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), by nested and seminested polymerase chain reaction assays. Lanes: A, BDV-negative PBMC; B, BDV-specific amplicates from PBMC of patient with CFS; M, size marker (100-bp DNA ladder). Demonstration of Borna Disease Virus Nucleic Acid in ...

dose-dependent manner among relaxation, decay constant and LDH measurement. A DNA ladder detection method and morphological observations detected no apoptosis in PT-exposed macrophages. Electron microscopic examination revealed vacuolar changes and cell membrane damage in PT-exposed macrophages, but no significant changes in control macrophages. The results of magnetometry, LDH release, apoptos...

Aims Studies have shown that probiotic bacteria inhibit the onset and progression of carcinogenesis through different pathways. Our objective in this study was to determine effect on expression growth-related genes Rel A, IKB, Casp3 HT29 colon cancer cells Methods & Materials In study, Lactobacillus brevis were first cultured, after supply media conditioning, they treated cells. The bacteri...

It is shown that solvable mixed spin ladder models can be constructed from su(N) permutators. Heisenberg rung interactions appear as chemical potential terms in the Bethe Ansatz solution. Explicit examples given are a mixed spin-1 2 spin-1 ladder, a mixed spin-1 2 spin-3 2 ladder and a spin-1 ladder with biquadratic interactions.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of Sterigmatocystin (ST), Deoxynivalenol (DON) and Aflatoxin G1 (AFG1) on apoptosis of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HPBLs) in vitro and thus to further elucidate the putative roles of these three mycotoxins on human immunosystem. METHODS The effects of ST, DON and AFG1 on apoptosis of HPBLs were studied with cell culture, flow cytometric (FCM) DNA analy...

Repetitive DNA sequences constitute a significant component of most eukaryotic genomes, and the isolation and characterization of such sequences provide an insight into the organization of the genome of interest. Here, we report the isolation and molecular characterization of a novel repetitive DNA sequence from the genome of Citrus limon. Digestion of C. limon DNA with MboI produced a prominen...

Seueral techniquesare available for implementingascalardigitaffilter using lattice and ladder structures which are known to yield low noise realizations. Ofthese, the lattice and ladder structures proposed by Gray and Markel have the advantage of being interimlly scaled Block implementation of a scalar digitalfilteroflers a number of advantages. Inthis pnpet, new algorithms to realize block dig...
