BACKGROUND Whereas estrogen receptors are present in immune cells, it is not known if they are phosphorylated to regulate immune cell functions. Here we determined the phosphorylation status of estrogen receptor α (ERα) at residue serine 216 in mouse neutrophils and examined its role in migration and infiltration. Serine 216 is the conserved phosphorylation site within the DNA binding domains f...

Recent evidence indicates that arrest of mammalian cells at the G(2)/M checkpoint involves inactivation and translocation of Cdc25C, which is mediated by phosphorylation of Cdc25C on serine 216. Data obtained with a phospho-specific antibody against serine 216 suggest that activation of the DNA damage checkpoint is accompanied by an increase in serine 216 phosphorylated Cdc25C in the nucleus af...

In a 4-month period, 216 cases of acute viral hepatitis were diagnosed in adults at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Athens, Greece. Twenty-six percent of these were hepatitis B surface antigen negative. A full set of clinical specimens was obtained from 19 of these patients, who were studied in depth for the etiology of their hepatitis. A total of 7 of the 19 patients had serological evidence...

The DAO-type white dwarf LS V+4621 is the hydrogen-rich central star of the possible planetary nebula Sh 2-216. We have taken high-resolution, high-S/N ultraviolet spectra with STIS aboard the HST and FUSE in order to constrain its photospheric parameters. A detailed spectral analysis by means of state-of-the-art NLTE model-atmosphere techniques is presented which includes the determination the...
