In order to assess the importance of RNA synthesis in the induction
and antibody-producing phases of immune responses, actinomycin
D was used to inhibit the primary and secondary in vitro immune
responses of mouse spleen cells against heterologous erythrocytes.
The presence of actinomycin D (0.1 or 0.125 μg /ml) throughout...
Setaria lutescens (yellow foxtail) plants, grown from five seed
sources were compared in California. Seed sources were: Connecticut,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and California. Morphological
and physiological differences between biotypes include: plant
size, growth habit, time required to mature and reproductive capa
city. Most significant is the prostrate habit of the...
Synthesis of total RNA, DNA, and protein was followed in a
haploid yeast auxotroph during starvation for required amino acids
and uracil, and during shift-up and shift-down conditions.
During amino acid starvation, synthesis of macromolecular
constituents was not immediately affected, reflecting the presence
of large intracellular amino acid pools. Under...
The relative bioavailability and pharmacodynamics
of tolbutamide from two different commercially available
tablet products has been evaluated in healthy subjects
in a single dose cross over study. Products were aged
by exposing tablets to 98% relative humidity for 3 days
at ambient temperature which was found to differentially
affect both...
