Preservation of living tissue and organs are very important to ensure successful transplantation. The storage of living tissue, from the time of removal of the donor tissue until transplantation, is one of the most important factors for successful tissue transplantation. The purpose of living tissue storage is to maintain the viability of the mammalian cells, and various methods have been devel...

GOUCHER, CHARLES R. AND W. KOCHOLATY. (Army Med.ResearchLab., Fort Knox, Ky.) Rejectance spectra and some respiratory reactions of bovine, equine and human thrombocytes. Am. J. Physiol. 188(2) : ~p5-q~~ =957*-Reflectance spectra of human, bovine and equine thrombocytes reveal the existence of pigments which absorb in the visible region of the spectrum. The chromatic properties of these pigments...

Unlike core histones, the linker histone H1 family is more evolutionarily diverse and many organisms have multiple H1 variants or subtypes. In mammals, the H1 family includes seven somatic H1 variants, H1.1 to H1.5 being expressed in a replication-dependent manner, whereas H1.0 and H1X are replicationindependent. Using ChIP-seq data and cell fractionation, we have compared the genomic distribut...

Previously we quantified the amounts of immunoreactive apo[ a] found in human atherosclerotic lesions extracted sequentially with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCI). In this study we have attempted to characterize lipoproteins containing apo[a] in such PBS and GuHCl fractions, obtained from autopsy samples, in order to eventually determine their structure-functi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To investigate the histopathologic characteristics of atherosclerotic lessions in diffuse coronary artery disease and to evaluate the possible inflammatory role of chronic infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: For 10 patients (males, mean age 61 years) who were surgically treated for grave diffuse coronary artery disease, histomorphological ana...

Small-angle neutron scattering measurements were performed on two very different proteins unfolded by guanidinium chloride. It is shown that the neutron spectra given by unfolded phosphoglycerate kinase and p-casein are similar to those of excluded volume homopolymer chains. INTRODUCTION A functional native protein generally adopts a specific three-dimensional structure that is determined by it...

Ten pig herds were visited and intensively sampled to determine the within group prevalence, distribution of contamination and numbers of Salmonella organisms excreted by infected pigs. The distribution of infection was highly variable but on all farms with breeding pigs the breeding herd was involved, even though the occurrence of the organism was greater in growing and fattening pigs. Infecti...

Strawberry anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum acutatum J. H. Simmonds, is one of the most serious diseases in commercial strawberry production. Even in well-managed fields, losses due to the fruit-rotting phase can exceed 50% when conditions favor disease development (10). Historically, the disease has been thought of as a “southern” disease (16), occurring primarily in the warmer production...
