Stomatococcus mucilaginosus was isolated from eight neutropenic patients during nine febrile episodes over a 13-month period. Five of these isolates were from definite infections, including one case of fatal meningitis. This slime-producing, catalase...

Generally, genomic DNA is used either for the construction of genomic libraries or for Southern blot analysis. For several reasons, it is frequently preferable in the field of invertebrate neurobiology to screen, at least initially, genomic rather th...

The GABAA receptor is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor in the mammalian brain. To date, 14 genes that encode subunits of this receptor have been identified; these appear to be scattered throughout the human genome and are under investig...

GABAA receptor subunit genes as candidate genes for bipolar affective disorder—an association analysis (1992)
Journal Article

Polymorphic DNA segments can be used as genetic markers to test for allelic association between a disease and a candidate gene locus. Here we report the results of a study of 60 unrelated bipolar patients in which we sought for evidence of associatio...

We have previously reported [(1991) EMBO J. 10, 3239–3245] the sequence of an invertebrate γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A (GABAA) receptor polypeptide which forms homo‐oligomeric GABA‐gated, bicuculline‐sensitive, chloride‐ion channels upon hetero...

We have constructed recombinant baculoviruses containing cDNAs encoding either the [alpha]1- or the [beta]1-subunit of the bovine GABAA receptor. In Spodoptera frugiperda (IPLB-Sf-21) cells infected with recombinant virus expressing either the [alpha...

When vertebrate brain poly(A)+ RNA is expressed in Xenopus oocytes the response of the GABA receptors formed is found to be inhibited allosterically by a neurosteroid, pregnenolone sulphate (PS). This negative modulation was reproduced after expressi... Read More about Effects of subunit types of the recombinant GABAA receptor on the response to a neurosteroid.
