Equilibration of the phosphorus in radioactive phosphoric acid with the phosphorus in phosphorus oxychloride occurs if these compounds are refluxed together for approximately 24 h. This observation led us to develop a method for the preparation of radioactive phosphorus oxychloride on a small scale with high specific radioactivity. The labeled phosphorus oxychloride may be utilized directly in ...

Progesterone receptor from an oviduct tissue mince incubated with (32P)orthophosphate was purified using affinity chromatography, gel filtration, and DEAE-Sephadex chromatography. Two receptor peaks were eluted from the DEAE column. Peak I contained one major protein band with a molecular weight of 90,000 and a 32P band at 90,000. Peak II also had a major 90,000-dalton protein band and a 32P ba...

A simple, rapid and inexpensive method is described for the enzymic synthesis of [alpha-32P]ATP from [32P]Pi on a preparative scale with an overall yield of 53%. The final product contained all of the detectable radioactivity (less than 99.9%) in the alpha position and has been shown to behave identically with commerically availabe [alpha-32P]ATP during the synthesis of 3':5'-cyclic AMP in the ...

Analysis of aphthovirus A12, strain 119ab, grown in the presence of inorganic 32P revealed that two of the major viral polypeptides, VP4 and trypsin-sensitive protein VP3, were highly phosphorylated. The other major polypeptides, VP1 and VP2, were also phosphorylated but to a much lesser extent. Polypeptides VP0 and P56, of which there are approximately one of two copies per aphthovirion, were ...

Our laboratory has developed a novel delivery platform using an attenuated non-toxic and non-pathogenic bacterium Listeria monocytogenes that infects tumor cells and selectively survives and multiplies in metastases and primary tumors with help of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME). 32P was efficiently incorporated into the Listeri...

A procedrue is described for the preparation of [32P]phosphatidyl-CMP(CDP-diacylglycerol) from rat pineal glands incubated with [32P]orthophosphate and DL-propranolol. The product is 95% radiopure and a high specific acitivity. The yield of liponucleotide is 0.4--0.9 micron Ci/mCi of [32P]orthophosphate in the medium. The same method can also be used for the biosynthesis and purification of [3H...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms, a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, is too often followed by recanalization and recurrences. The purpose of this work was to assess if in situ beta radiation can inhibit recanalization after coil embolization. METHODS Radioactive platinum coils (32P-coils) were produced by ion implantation of 32P. A single-coil arte...

We have previously reported the occurrence of two endogenous protein phosphorylation systems in mammalian brain that are enhanced in the presence of 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG) and ATP. We present here a study of one of these systems, the phosphorylation of the 72-kDa protein (3PG-PP72). This system was separated into the substrate, 3PG-PP72, and a kinase by ammonium sulfate fractionation, hydroxy...

Accumulation of [32P]phosphatidic acid (PA) and total [3H]inositol phosphates (IPs) was measured in the longitudinal smooth-muscle layer from guinea-pig small intestine. Stimulation with carbachol, histamine and substance P produced increases in accumulation of both [3H]IPs and [32P]PA over the same concentration range. The increase in [32P]PA accumulation in response to carbachol (1 microM-0.1...

Apoptosis has been characterized as a regulated, energy-dependent process. Specific protein-phosphorylation events have been demonstrated previously to occur during apoptosis and may play an important role in the regulation of this death process. In this study, energy metabolism and protein phosphorylation during apoptosis of neuronal PC12 cells induced by nerve growth factor and serum deprivat...
