Bovine rotavirus (BRV) V1005, like 34 further cell culture-adapted strains in a 6-year survey in Upper Bavaria, Germany, is not a P12 but a P5 P-type rotavirus. The conclusion is based on dot blot hybridization with P1-, P5-, and P11-specific cDNAs, encompassing the VP8* region of major sequence diversity, and on PCR using P1-, P5-, and P11-specific primer pairs derived from the VP5* region of ...

Background/aim The chromosome translocation t(8;19)(p11;q13) has been reported in only six acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. We here present the genetic and clinical features of seventh AML case with this aberration. Materials methods Cytogenetic molecular investigations were performed on leukemic bone marrow cells from a patient therapy-related AML. Results A was found leading to an in-fr...

Chromosome investigation in six localized forms of tenosynovial giant cell tumors, also known as modular tenosynovitis, revealed an identical translocation between chromosomes 1 and 2, t(1;2)(p11;q35-36) in three tumors, a variant translocation t(1;5)(p11;q22) in a fourth case, and a t(2;16)(q33;q24) in a fifth case. One case showed a normal karyotype. Although morphologically rather uniform, t...

We consider the problem of perfectly recovering the vertex correspondence between two correlated Erdős-Rényi (ER) graphs on the same vertex set. The correspondence between the vertices can be obscured by randomly permuting the vertex labels of one of the graphs. We determine the information-theoretic threshold for exact recovery, i.e. the conditions under which the entire vertex correspondence ...

Annexin II is a Ca(2+)-dependent membrane-binding protein present in a wide variety of cells and tissues. Within cells, annexin II is found either as a 36-kD monomer (p36) or as a heterotetrameric complex (p90) coupled with the S-100-related protein, p11. Annexin II has been suggested to be involved in exocytosis as it can restore the secretory responsiveness of permeabilized chromaffin cells. ...
