Molluscan ligand-gated ion-channel receptors (1993)
Book Chapter
Darlison, M. G., Hutton, M. L., & Harvey, R. J. (1993). Molluscan ligand-gated ion-channel receptors. In Comparative Molecular Neurobiology, 48-64. Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-7265-2_3

In this chapter we introduce the reader to the structures of the different types of ligand-gated ion-channel receptor, and the numerous receptor subtypes that have recently been revealed to exist, in both invertebrate and vertebrate species, by the a...

External stimuli and intracellular signalling in the modification of the nematode surface during transition to the mammalian host environment (1993)
Journal Article
Proudfoot, L., Kusel, J. R., Smith, H. V., & Kennedy, M. W. (1993). External stimuli and intracellular signalling in the modification of the nematode surface during transition to the mammalian host environment. Parasitology, 107(05), 559. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0031182000068141

Previous work has shown that the surface of infective larvae of parasitic nematodes will not bind the fluorescent lipid analogue 5-N(octadecanoyl)aminofluorescein (AF18) until after exposure of the parasite to mammalian tissue-culture conditions. In... Read More about External stimuli and intracellular signalling in the modification of the nematode surface during transition to the mammalian host environment.

Molecular cloning reveals the existence of a fourth γ subunit of the vertebrate brain GABAAreceptor (1993)
Journal Article
Harvey, R. J., Kim, H., & Darlison, M. G. (1993). Molecular cloning reveals the existence of a fourth γ subunit of the vertebrate brain GABAAreceptor. FEBS Letters, 331(3), 211-216. https://doi.org/10.1016/0014-5793%2893%2980339-v

We have isolated a cDNA, from the chicken, that encodes a fourth type of γ subunit of the vertebrate brain GABAA receptor. The mature polypeptide (which we name γ4) displays 67%, 69% and 70% identity, respectively, to the rat γ1, γ2 and γ3 subunits....

Rapid changes in the surface of parasitic nematodes during transition from pre- to post-parasitic forms (1993)
Journal Article
Proudfoot, L., Kusel, J. R., Smith, H. V., Harnett, W., Worms, M. J., & Kennedy, M. W. (1993). Rapid changes in the surface of parasitic nematodes during transition from pre- to post-parasitic forms. Parasitology, 107(01), 107. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0031182000079464

All mammalian-parasitic stages of a range of nematode species investigated (Brugia pahangi, Acanthocheilonema viteae, Strongyloides ratti, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, Trichinella spiralis and Ostertagia ostertagi) labelled in a surface-restricted m...

A novel invertebrate GABAAreceptor-like polypeptide Sequence and pattern of gene expression (1993)
Journal Article
Hutton, M. L., Harvey, R. J., Earley, F. G., Barnard, E. A., & Darlison, M. G. (1993). A novel invertebrate GABAAreceptor-like polypeptide Sequence and pattern of gene expression. FEBS Letters, 326(1-3), 112-116. https://doi.org/10.1016/0014-5793%2893%2981773-s

A full‐length complementary DNA has been isolated, from the fresh‐water mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis, that encodes a polypeptide (which we have named Ç) that exhibits between 30% and 40% identity to vertebrate GABAA and glycine receptor subunit sequence...

Incompatibility properties of the narrow-host-range lactococcal plasmid pCI305. (1993)
Journal Article
Foley, S., Daly, C., & Fitzgerald, G. F. (1993). Incompatibility properties of the narrow-host-range lactococcal plasmid pCI305. The Journal of general microbiology, 139, 1271-1276. https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-139-6-1271

The cryptic plasmid pCI305 from Lactococcus Zuctis subsp. lactis UC317 was screened for incompatibility with
a range of cloning vectors and was found to be incompatible with the theta-replicating plasmids pAM401 and
pIL253. In contrast, lactococcal... Read More about Incompatibility properties of the narrow-host-range lactococcal plasmid pCI305..

The influence of Cryptocotyle lingua (Digenea:Platyhelminthes) infections on the survival and fecundity of Littorina littorea (Gastropoda:Prosobranchia); an ecological approach (1993)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., Raffaelli, D., & Pike, A. (1993). The influence of Cryptocotyle lingua (Digenea:Platyhelminthes) infections on the survival and fecundity of Littorina littorea (Gastropoda:Prosobranchia); an ecological approach. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 168(2), (223-238). doi:10.1016/0022-0981(93)90262-m. ISSN 0022-0981

This study considers the impact of digenean parasites, especially Cryptocotyle lingua (Creplin) on the survival, reproduction, growth rate and foot colour of Littorina littorea (Forbes and Hanley). An 18 month field experiment demonstrated decreased...

Comparison of high-level gentamicin resistant (HLGR) Enterococcus faecium isolates from different continents. (1993)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Morrison, D., Cookson, B. D. & George, R. C. (1993). Comparison of high-level gentamicin resistant (HLGR) Enterococcus faecium isolates from different continents. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. 37. . 681-684. . ISSN 0066-4804.

Eight clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium highly resistant to gentamicin (MIC, > 1,000 mg/liter) from patients in six hospitals on three continents were investigated for evidence of spread of either a clone of high-level gentamicin-resistant (H...
