Space flight results in loss of mass and function in skeletal
muscle. Data from manned flights and animal biosatellites give
evidence of possible changes in neuromuscular interactions.
Components at the neuromuscular junction are a potential site of
action for this space-induced muscle atrophy. We examined the
nicotinic acetylcholine receptor population...
A capsid protein termed p87 of the Orgyia pseudotsugata multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (OpMNPV) was located to the HindIII-G fragment of the viral genome by Southern hybridization. A 3.6 kb segment of this region was sequenced and an 1872-nt open reading frame encoding the p 87 protein was identified and...
