The preparations of several new (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)osmium(II) complexes from the osmium(III) compound (C5Me5)2Os2Br4 are described; among these are phosphine and alkene complexes of stoichiometry (C5Me5)OsL2Br and (C5Me5)OsL2H as well as the nitrosyl complex (C5Me5)Os(NO)Br2. Treatment of (C5Me5)2Os2Br4 with PPh3 in ethanol or PMe3 in dichloromethane affords the osmium(II) complexes (...

Serotype 1 strains of Marek's disease virus (MDV-1) cause malignant lymphomas in chickens (Marek's disease; MD). Although MD has been controlled by vaccination, field isolates of MDV-1 have tended to increase in virulence and cause MD even in vaccinated chickens. Meq, a putative MDV-1 oncoprotein, resembles the Jun/Fos family of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors and can regulate...

A continuous wave cavity ringdown spectrometer with a Fabry-Perot quantum cascade laser has beenused to collect a rotationally-resolved infrared spectrum of them8 vibrational band of methylene bromidein a slit nozzle expansion. In our laboratory, previous observations of the vibrational band were limitedby spectral coverage to only the P and Q-branches and by the 24 MHz step-siz...

The N termini of the capsid proteins VP1 and VP2 of adeno-associated virus (AAV) play important roles in subcellular steps of infection and contain motifs that are highly homologous to a phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) domain and nuclear localization signals (NLSs). To more clearly understand how virion components influence infection, we have generated mutations in these regions and examined their ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether an optimal blood suppression inversion time (BSP TI) can boost arterial visibility and whether the optimal BSP TI is related to breathing rate (BR) and heart rate (HR) for hypertension subjects in spatial labeling with multiple inversion pulses (SLEEK). MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 10 volunteers and 93 consecutive hypertension patients w...
