Creator:: Chaloupka, Kim A.
Abstract:: A kinetics-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (KELA) for detection of serum IgG antibody against bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) was developed and optimized. Optimization factors tested included brand of microELISA plate, length of incubation periods at various temperatures, type of conjugate, purified versus precipitated antigen preparations, type of dilution buffer as...

Creator:: Weitz, Stephen L.
Abstract:: Investigators have been studying an aggregate containing enzymes of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate biosynthesis in T4-phage infected bacteria. They suggest that it behaves as an organized complex, efficiently channeling DNA precursors to the replication apparatus. Previous work has suggested that about 10 enzyme activities remain associated through several fractionation steps. This multi-enzyme...

Abstract:: 5'-Deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase catalyzes the phosphorolytic cleavage of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine to form 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioribose-1-phosphate and adenine in mammalian cells and plays an important role in methionine and purine salvage. The enzyme is abundant in normal tissues and in cell lines derived from normal cells. However, several malignant tissues and cell lines have been...

Creator:: Khosravi, Lewa
Abstract:: Three commercial sausage starter cultures were grown in an internal-pH-controlled medium (PHASE 4) and in a soluble phosphate-buffered medium. The cultures were tested by comparing viable counts before and after freezing at -40 C or freeze-drying and subsequent storage for 3 months in the frozen or dried state. Strains varied...

Creator:: Bradford, Mary Beth
Abstract:: The Baculoviridae is a family of DNA viruses which are obligate pathogens for a variety of insects. Baculovirus strains came to the attention of researchers because they provided a nonchemical alternative for the biological control of insect pests of agriculture and forestry (Ignoffo, 1968); however, recently they have been studied...
