Mouse Strain Determines Cardiac Growth Potential
RATIONALE The extent of heart disease varies from person to person, suggesting that genetic background is important in pathology. Genetic background is also important when selecting appropriate mouse models to study heart disease. This study examines heart growth as a function of strain, specifically C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mouse strains. OBJECTIVE In this study, we test the hypothesis that two str...
متن کاملHuman chromosome 21 determines growth factor dependence in human/mouse B-cell hybridomas.
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) serves as a growth factor for mouse plasmacytomas. As a model for IL-6-mediated growth of plasmacytomas, we study IL-6-dependent B-cell hybridomas, which can be generated through fusion of B lymphocytes with a plasmacytoma cell line, e.g., SP2/0. In the present report, we have investigated the peculiar behavior of B-cell hybridomas with respect to IL-6 dependence. We demons...
متن کاملIdentification and toxigenic potential of a cyanobacterial strain (Stigomena sp.)
Cyanobacteria are well known for their production of a multitude of highly toxic substances . The genus Stigomena is regarded as good candidates for producing biologically active secondary metabolites, which are highly toxic to humans and other animals. The carcass of a dog was found at the shore of Lake Ali-Abad, Iran. Biomass from the discovery site appeared to be of cyanobacterial nature. We...
متن کاملEstimation of action potential changes from field potential recordings in multicellular mouse cardiac myocyte cultures.
BACKGROUND Extracellular recordings of electrical activity with substrate-integrated microelectrode arrays (MEAs) enable non-invasive long-term monitoring of contracting multicellular cardiac preparations. However, to characterize not only the spread of excitation and the conduction velocity from field potential (FP) recordings, a more rigorous analysis of FPs is necessary. Therefore in this st...
متن کاملWhat Determines the Redox Potential of Ferredoxins
For many cytochromes P450 (P450), the electrons are transferred from the reductase to the P450 via a [2Fe-2S] cluster ferredoxin (e.g. putidaredoxin, terpredoxin or adrenodoxin). A similar role is played by several plant-type ferredoxins to transfer electrons from photosystem I to NADP. Other ferredoxins like E. coli ferredoxin are probably involved in the biogenesis of iron-sulfur clusters. To...
