Detection and differentiation of infectious bursal disease virus from the outbreaks in two layer farms by PCR-RFLP in Jos, Nigeria

Aim: Characterization of Infectious bursal disease viruses (IBDV) from the two outbreaks in Jos Nigeria, using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism (RT-PCR/RFLP) technique. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 bursa samples were collected from two outbreaks in November 2011 from two farms of 6-8 weeks old pullets within Jos South Local Governm...

The A1 allele of the D2 dopamine receptor gene is associated with high dopamine transporter density in detoxified alcoholics.

The A1 allele of TaqI A restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the D2 receptor (DRD2) gene locus has been suggested to be associated with low D2 receptor density in man. Striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) densities were studied with [(123)I]2-beta-carbometoxy-3beta(4-iodophenyl)tropane and single-photon emission tomography in 29 detoxified alcoholics, who were also genotyped for th...

A further RFLP of the cosmid KK5.33 (D5S85) on chromosome 5q.

Source and Description of the Clone: The cosmid KK5.33 was isolated from a cosmid library made from a somatic hybrid cell line (HHW141) which contained 30% of human chromosome 5 (Vector: pWE15). Polymorphism: A two-allele (Al and A2) TaqI RFLP with bands at 9.0 and 8.0 kb, and a two-allele (Bl and B2) PstI RFLP with bands at 8.0 and 6.0 kb have been described (1). Here we report on a third two-...

A TaqI RFLP for the human arylsulfatase A gene.

Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms are associated with altered prognosis in patients with malignant melanoma.

Calcitriol [1,25(OH)2D3], the hormonal derivative of vitamin D3, is an antiproliferative and prodifferentiation factor for several cell types, including cultured melanocytes and malignant melanoma (MM) cells. Several polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene have been described including a FokI RFLP in exon 2, BsmI, and ApaI polymorphisms in intron 8 and an adjacent TaqI RFLP in exon 9...
