A granule-associated phospholipase A2 from rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes and a closely similar phospholipase A2 from rabbit serum have been purified to near homogeneity by ion-exchange and reverse-phase chromatography. The cellular (polymorphonuclear leukocyte) phospholipase A2 has been purified greater than 100,000-fold and the extracellular (serum) phospholipase A2 approximately 60,000-...

The CYP17 gene encodes the enzyme cytochrome P450c17alpha, which mediates both 17alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activity in the steroid biosynthesis pathway. A T-->C polymorphism in the 5' promoter region of CYP17 has been described. To examine the association between recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and a polymorphism in CYP17, a case-control study of 117 cases with RPL and 164 controls was c...

Selim, Niazy, Gene D. Branum, Xia Liu, Richard Whalen, and Thomas D. Boyer. Differential lobular induction in rat liver of glutathione S-transferase A1/A2 by phenobarbital. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 278: G542– G550, 2000.—Phenobarbital and other xenobiotics induce drug-metabolizing enzymes, including glutathione S-transferase A1/A2 (rGSTA1/A2). We examined the mechanism of inducti...

Background Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2 (hnRNP-A2) belongs to a heterogenous family of nuclear proteins, importantly involved in mRNA traffi cking, translational and transcriptional processes. Recent evidence let suggest that hnRNPs post-transcriptionally modulate expression of infl ammatory mediators such as cyclooxygenase-2, tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukin 1β (IL-1β...

The development of two different immunoassays for the determination fumonisin B1 in wheat samples is reported. A previously described mimopeptide (FB1) was used to produce fusion proteins combination with luciferases: Gaussia luciferase (GLuc) and NanoLuc (NLuc). production, expression based on these (A2-GLuc A2-NLuc) detailed. assay showing best performance, A2-NLuc, a limit detection 0.61 ng ...

The purpose of this article is to introduce a new subclass analytic and bi-univalent functions, in associated with sigmoid function investigate the upper bounds for |a2| |a3|, where a2, a3 are initial Taylor-Maclaurin coefficients. Further we obtain Fekete-Szego inequalities class sigma. We also give several illustrative examples functionclass which here.

Let B(n) denote the collection of all set partitions of [n]. Suppose A1,A2 ⊆ B(n) are cross-intersecting i.e. for all A1 ∈ A1 and A2 ∈ A2, we have A1 ∩A2 6= ∅. It is proved that for sufficiently large n,

Pig phospholipase A2, pig iso-phospholipase A2 and bovine pancreatic phospholipase A2 were reacted in solution with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, in the presence of N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide, at pH 7. The influence of micellar protectants was analyzed. In the presence of n-hexadecylphosphocholine, the losses of activity in micellar diheptanoyl-lecithin were 80, 35, and 10% in b...

and Applied Analysis 3 Step 1. Let F {a} be singleton. Then, there are u ∈ U and v ∈ V such that ‖uv‖ < M, and ‖ u, v, a − a‖ < M 1 . 2.2 Letting w uv ◦ uv, then ‖ uv ◦ uv, a − a‖ ‖ u, v, u, v, a − a − u, v, a − a ‖ < . 2.3 Step 2. Let F {a1, a2}. There is a u1, v1 ∈ U × V such that ‖ u1, v1, a1 − a1‖ < / 1 M , and for u1, v1, a2 − a2 ∈ A there is a u2, v2 ∈ U × V such that ‖ u2, v2, u1, v1, a2...
