Hog cholera virus grown in PK-15 cells and SK-cells was labeled with [35S]methionine and [3H]uridine. At least 3 polypeptides were resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after disruption of the virus with sodium dodecyl-sulfate. The molecular weights of the structural proteins were determined to be 55000 (p55), 46000 (gp46), and 36000 (p36). The molecular weight of the viral RNA was det...

UNLABELLED Like most positive-strand RNA viruses, infection by plant tombusviruses results in extensive rearrangement of specific host cell organelle membranes that serve as the sites of viral replication. The tombusvirus Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) replicates within spherules derived from the peroxisomal boundary membrane, a process that involves the coordinated action of various viral and...

Fig. 1. G-banded karyogram from the patient’s bone marrow. Arrows indicate a t(1;8)(p36;q22). The t(8;21) translocation occurs in 5e12% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases, often occurring in the younger population. This translocation fuses the RUNX1 gene (previously AML1) on chromosome band 21q22 to the RUNX1T1 (previously known as ETO) on 8q22, resulting in a RUNX1/RUNX1T1 hybrid transcript...

BACKGROUND Dietary calcium intake in rural Gambian women is very low (∼350 mg/d) compared with international recommendations. Studies have suggested that calcium supplementation of women receiving low-calcium diets significantly reduces risk of pregnancy hypertension. OBJECTIVE We tested the effects on blood pressure (BP) of calcium carbonate supplementation (1500 mg Ca/d) in pregnant, rural ...

Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterised by the presence of myotonia with a mask-like face, skeletal dysplasia, and growth retardation. Two types have been defined by the age of manifestation of the symptoms. Linkage of Schwartz-Jampel syndrome to human chromosome 1p34-p36.1 has been shown in families where probands presented during infancy or early ch...

The results from the change in VTL discrimination experiments show that, of the five places in the GPR-VTL plane tested, four showed no significant difference between the voiced and whispered vowel conditions (Figs 2-3, Panels 5-6). There was a significant difference only at the high GPR-short VTL position [320 Hz, 9.4 cm], where VTL discrimination performance with whispered vowels was signific...
