There are a number of virus-specific processes within the virus replicative cycle or virus-infected cell that have proven to be attractive targets for chemotherapeutic intervention, i.e., virus adsorption and entry into the cells, reverse (RNA 3 DNA) transcription, viral DNA polymerization, and cellular enzymatic reactions that are associated with viral DNA and RNA synthesis and viral mRNA matu...

Gary N.Clarke were contaminated during the cryostorage process, probably from the contaminated liquid nitrogen. Thus, there is no doubt Andrology Department, The Royal Women’s Hospital, Carlton, that a range of microbes, including hepatitis B, can survive Victoria 3053, Australia direct exposure to liquid nitrogen, and under certain conditions result in cross-infection. Given the strength of th...

An important element in the microstructure of high-performance fibers and film fabricated from rigid polymers is an interconnected network of oriented microfibrils, the lateral size of which is about 10 nm. This study is an attempt to elucidate the mechanism by which the microfibrils are formed, so that larger lateral dimensions can be achieved by suitable processing. Since this morphology emer...

Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) that copurify with tubulin through multip•e cycles of in vitro assembly have been implicated as regulatory factors and effectors in the in vivo activity of microtubules. As an approach to the analysis of the functions of these molecules, a collection of lymphocyte hybridoma monoclonal antibodies has been generated using MAPs from HeLa cell microtubule prot...
