AIM Rapid detection of H.pylori strains by PCR-Sequencing. METHODS 16S rDNA amplification by PCR from template genomic DNA, confirmation of amplicon size by agarose gel electrophoresis, sequencing of amplicons by automated sequencer, analysis of sequences by NCBI -BLAST software. RESULTS The PCR -Sequencing and analysis of the sequence data by BLAST resulted in detection of the strain to be...

When spleen cells of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-treated mice were cultured in the presence of interleukin 3 (IL-3), most colonies revealed IL-3 concentration-dependent colony formation except for mast cell colonies and blast cell colonies. While most colonies were smaller in lower concentrations of IL-3, the size of the blast cell colonies were similar between high and low IL-3 groups. These data su...
