<b>Bombesin-like immunoreactivity in mammalian </b><b>tissues </b>

Plasma measures of B-endorphin-like immunoreactivity in depressives and other psychiatric subjects.

We report the utilization of a very sensitive radioimmunoassay for plasma B-END, which has enabled us to examine the suppressibility of B-END-like material, under dexamethasone challenge, on a population of depressed patient~. We have found that B-END-like material in plasma is suppressed by dexamethasone in a psychiatric control population, whereas suppression is less likely in endogenously de...

Substance P-like immunoreactivity in neurons in dissociated cell cultures of mammalian spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia.

Dissociated cell cultures prepared from fetal mouse spinal cords and dorsal root ganglia were stained for endogenous substance P using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. Substance P-like immunoreactivity was localized within a small percentage of rounded or multipolar neuronal somata and in varicose processes. The substance P-positive multipolar neurons were derived from spinal cord, whil...

Expression of S and pre s2 Hepatitis B Surface Antigens in Mammalian Cos-7 Cell Line

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a serious global health problem. The development of a safe and effective vaccinewould help infection prevention. Previous hepatitis B vaccine production involved the isolation of the noninfectious particle from chronic HBV carriers. DNA recombinant technology has been used for vaccineproduction without having been contaminated with blood-born infectious ag...

Peptide GEGLSS-like immunoreactivity in the rat central nervous system.

A rabbit antiserum was raised against the N-terminal fragment peptide, GEGLSS (Gly-Glu-Gly-Leu-Ser-Ser) of bovine neuropeptide AF (NPAF, A18Famide). NPAF is an octadecapeptide isolated from the bovine brain together with neuropeptide FF (NPFF). GEGLSS-like immunoreactivity was localized with immunofluorescence technique in colchicine-treated rats in neuronal cell bodies of the supraoptic (SON) ...
