Acute phase proteins in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Gerwick, Lena
Abstract:: The acute phase response (APR) includes an early response of the innate immune system to an inflammatory agent. Acute phase proteins (APP) are produced at increased rates in the liver during this response. The APR has been well characterized in mammals, but it is unclear to what degree teleosts mount...

Modulation of respiratory burst activity of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) phagocytic cells

Creator:: Galvan, Irja S.
Abstract:: In a comparison of the mammalian and fish immune systems many similarities and differences are found. While most of the differences occur in the acquired or lymphoid arm of immunity, the nonlymphoid immune systems of fish and mammals share many similarities. For instance, both animal groups use phagocytic neutrophils and...

Influences of nitrogen on carbon dynamics in forest soil and density fractions

Creator:: Swanston, Christopher W.
Abstract:: Application of N fertilizer is a common forest management practice in the Pacific Northwest, yet the long-term influence of fertilization on forest soil properties is not well known. Although elevated N often increases mineralization of C and N from labile organic matter, negative effects have been documented in recalcitrant organic...

The physiology of plagiotropic growth of rooted cuttings of Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco]

Creator:: Starbuck, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine if the plagiotropic growth habit of rooted cuttings of Douglas-fir might result from a system favoring the accumulation of indoleacetic acid in the adaxial side of the shoot in response to vertical placement. Actively growing excised branch terminals were subjected to gravitational disorientation to determine...

Coordinated regulation of plasma membrane lipids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Low, Christopher S. F.
Abstract:: Plasma membranes isolated from a yeast sterol auxotroph (RD5-R) grown on 1,5, and 15 pg m1⁻¹ exogenous concentrations of sterol showed no discontinuity in plots of steady-state fluorescence anisotropy. Liposomes constructed from phospholipid and sterol extracted from RD5-R grown on different sterols indicated exogenously supplied sterol modulated cellular phospholipids such...

DNA precursor compartmentation in mammalian cells : distribution and rates of equilibration between nucleus and cytoplasm

Creator:: Leeds, Janet M.
Abstract:: A rapid nuclear isolation technique was adapted in order to examine the question of DNA precursor compartmentation in mammalian cells. By using this method a reproducible proportion of the cellular nucleotides remained associated with the isolated nuclei. Examination, at several different cell densities, of exponentially growing HeLa cells showed that...

Modulation of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate levels, DNA synthesis rates and fidelity in mammalian cells

Creator:: Martomo, Stella A.
Abstract:: Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) concentrations measured in cells are not symmetric. dGTP almost always represents only 5-10% of the total dNTP pools in cells. In an in vitro replication system involving semiconservative replication from an SV 40 origin, the mutation frequency of an M13 phagemid replicated by human cell extracts in...

Alternatives to the DNA precursor-synthesizing enzyme complex hypothesis

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...
