Neurath, A. Robert (The Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, Pa.), Tadeusz J. Wiktor, and Hilary Koprowski. Density gradient centrifugation studies on rabies virus. J. Bacteriol. 92:102-106. 1966.-Cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation of rabies virus revealed a heterogeneous population of infectious virus particles, the majority of which showed a density of 1.20 g/ml. From results obtained...

We describe an immunoassay of digoxin that exploits the differential sedimentation rate between two types of latex particles in a microcentrifugal analyzer. Conventional polystyrene latex particles (relative density = 1.05), sensitized with antibody, are first suspended with the sample and then mixed with digoxin-sensitized latex particles (relative density = 1.5). In the absence of digoxin in ...

INTRODUCTION Nausea and motion sickness are important operational concerns for aviators and astronauts. Understanding the underlying mechanisms associated with motion sickness may lead to new treatments. The goal of this work was to determine if changes in cerebral blood flow precede the development of nausea in subjects susceptible to motion sickness. METHODS Cerebral flow velocity in the mi...

Buoyant densities of cells from exponentially growing cultures of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h- with division rates from 0.14 to 0.5 per h were determined by equilibrium centrifugation in Percoll gradients. Buoyant densities were independent of growth rate, with an average value (+/- standard error) of 1.0945 (+/- 0.00037) g/ml. When cells from these cultures were separated ...

Background: Extracellular vesicles are particles ranged from 30 nm to 5µm and subcategorized into three groups; exosomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies, each of which have different biological impact. Lack of a standard method for the detection and isolation of MVs has led to a challenging issue that is a worth considering. In this study, we isolated MVs from the conditioned medium o...
