Detection of intracardiac shunts by means of conventional oximetry, dye dilution curves, nitrous oxide, or krypton gas tests, may be hampered by lack of sensitivity of the method, cost, or complexity of equipment and unreliability of the results. The hydrogen technique proposed by Clark and Bargeron (1959a, b) and Bargeron, Clark, and McArthur (1960) seems to obviate these disadvantages. The fo...

A new antitumor antibiotic gilvusmycin was isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. QM16. The structure of gilvusmycin was related to CC-1065 and determined by NMR spectral analysis. Gilvusmycin exhibited antitumor activity against murine leukemia P388 in vivo.

Vinculin is a conserved actin binding protein localized in focal adhesions and cell-cell junctions. Here, we report that vinculin is tyrosine phosphorylated in platelets spread on fibrinogen and that the phosphorylation is Src kinases dependent. The phosphorylation of vinculin on tyrosine was reconstituted in vanadate treated COS-7 cells coexpressing c-Src. The tyrosine phosphorylation sites in...
