We examined the synthesis and accumulation of ribosomal RNA and protein in hybrid cells formed by fusing mouse 3T3 cells with Chinese hamster ovary cells resistant to the antibiotic emetine. These hybrid lines retained chromosomes of both parents and accumulated mouse and hamster ribosomal components in hybrid ribosomes. “he synthesis of precursor ribosomal RNA was found to vary from half-hamst...

We have succeeded in isolating hybrid mouse erythroleukemia cell clones from a patient with hemoglobin H disease, which exhibit either deletion or nondeletion mutations of the human alpha-globin genes. Analysis of one of these hybrid clones that had retained a human chromosome 16 from the patient's cells showed that both human alpha-globin had been deleted. Several clones of another hybrid cell...

The properties of embryonic hybrid cells obtained by fusion of embryonic stem (ES) or teratocarcinoma (TC) cells with differentiated cells are reviewed. Usually, ES-somatic or TC-somatic hybrids retain pluripotent capacity at high levels quite comparable or nearly identical with those of the pluripotent partner. When cultured in vitro, ES-somatic- and TC-somatic hybrid cell clones, as a rule, l...

T he phenomenon of hybrid resistance occurs when irradiated F1 hybrid mice reject bone marrow cells (BMC) donated by either parent (1). Hybrid resistance is of major interest in immunology because it violates the classical laws for solid tissue transplantation, upon which the MHC was defined. (F1 hybrid mice normally accept solid tissue donated by either parent.) Recent studies, including those...

We report herein on the effects of silicon nanowire with different morphology on the device performance of n-SiNW/PEDOT:PSS hybrid solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the SiNW/PEDOT:PSS hybrid solar cells can be optimized by varying the length of the silicon nanowires. The optimal length of silicon nanowires is 0.23 μm, and the hybrid sola...

the processes of cultural transformation in britain in the second half of the 20th century, the fall of the empire, immigration from former colonies and the expansion of the multiculturalism, have influenced new ways of looking at the conceptions of identity of diasporic subjects within britain. examining these experiences, diasporic novelists write about the second generation immigrants in con...

The mechanisms of action of two different serotonin receptors, found in a neuronal cell line (neuroblastoma X glioma hybrid cells) and in a non-excitable glioma cell line, were explored. In both cell lines, serotonin induced a dose-dependent, transient rise of cytosolic Ca2+ activity (measured by fura-2 or indo-1 fluorescence). Ca2+ channel blockers (Ni2+ and La3+, not nifedipine) suppressed th...

Constructing a highly efficient bulk-heterojunction is of critical importance to the hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells. Here in this work, we introduce a novel hybrid architecture containing P3HT nanowire and CdSe nanotetrapod as bicontinuous charge channels for holes and electrons, respectively. Compared to the traditionally applied P3HT molecules, the well crystallized P3HT nanowires quali...
