Detection of two Blastomyces dermatitidis serotypes by exoantigen analysis.

A synthesis of echinopine B.

A Short Proof That All Linear Codes Are Weakly Algebraic-geometric Using a Theorem of B. Poonen

In this paper we give a simpler proof of a deep theorem proved by Pellikan, Shen and van Wee that all linear codes are weakly algebraic-geometric using a theorem of B.Poonen.

Chemical modification of steffimycin B.

Fifteen 3-substituted analogues of steffimycin B (1) have been synthesized and their activity against P388 murine leukemia has been determined. Three of these were substantially more active than the parent compound.

Synthesis of the 6,6,5,7-tetracyclic core of daphnilongeranin B.

An efficient approach toward the synthesis of the 6,6,5,7-tetracyclic core of the daphnilongeranin B, a Daphniphyllum alkaloid, is reported. The bridged 6,6-bicyclic system was constructed using a gold(i) catalysed Conia-ene reaction, while the 5- and 7-membered rings were assembled by two diastereoselective Michael addition reactions, respectively.

Comparative evaluation of a chemiluminescent DNA probe and an exoantigen test for rapid identification of Histoplasma capsulatum.

A chemiluminescent DNA probe (Accuprobe) assay developed by Gen Probe, Inc., for the rapid identification of Histoplasma capsulatum was evaluated and compared with the exoantigen test by using 162 coded cultures including Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum, Histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii, Histoplasma capsulatum var. farciminosum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides immitis, Paracoc...
