The levels of glycoprotein (GP) Ib and GPV and phospholipase C activity were measured in platelets from three Bernard-Soulier syndrome patients. The patients' platelets had 46%, 46%, and 24% of control levels of GPIb alpha and 43%, trace, and 13% of control levels of GPV as determined by immunoblot analysis. Stimulation by thrombin, trypsin, the thromboxane analogue U46619, and the combination ...

The uptake of [32P]phosphate into phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidate was measured in synaptosomes incubated in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer, pH7.4. The apparent dissociation constants for acetylcholine and carbamoylcholine was estimated from the increase in 32P uptake caused by these agents. These apparent constants were similar for both phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidate and were 2....

Avian myeloblastosis virus produced in vitro by myeloblastic cells in suspension was labeled with 32P and 14Camino acids. After partial purification of the virus, and pronase digestion, an RNA was extracted by phenol into the aqueous phase. Glycerol gradient centrifugation showed that the 32P-labeled RNA con tained 2 distinct components: a high molecular weight fraction sedimenting at about 67 ...

Insulin stimulates hexose transport and phosphorylation of the insulin receptor in monolayer cultures of intact 3T3-L1 adipocytes. To assess the phosphorylation state of the receptor in situ, cells were equilibrated with [32P]orthophosphate and then disrupted under denaturing conditions which preserved the phosphorylation state of the receptor established in the cell. The insulin receptor, isol...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Beta radiation can prevent recanalization after embolization. Our goal was to assess the feasibility of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using coils of a predetermined activity of 32P per centimeter. METHODS We studied the total length of coils deployed into 357 intracranial aneurysms. Aneurysmal volumes were estimated using 3 mathematical models. We sim...

Females and eggs of Toxorhynchites r. rutilus were labeled with 32P by feeding fourth-stage larvae 32P labeled Aedes aegypti larvae. Eggs from females up to 3 weeks in age had detectable levels of radioactivity and individual eggs contained ca. 0.3% of the mother's total radioactivity. Comparisons of labeled and unlabeled females in indoor and outdoor cage tests indicated that survival and fecu...

The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) caused a marked stimulation of inorganic [32P]orthophosphate incorporation into HeLa-cell phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and lysophosphatidylethanolamine. The increased incorporation of inorganic [32P]orthophosphate into PE and lysophosphatidylethanolamine in the presence of TPA was not associated with an in...

Photoactivatable (beta-32P)5-azidoUDPGlc binds to two proteins in rat liver microsomes. As determined by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, the molecular masses of the 32P-labeled proteins were found to be 62- and 35-kDa. Binding of the photoprobe to both proteins was inhibited by addition of unlabeled UDPGlc. Labeling of the higher molecular weight protein occurred in the absence of photoactivation. In...
