We have shown recently that the bovine corpus luteum (CL) possesses specific luteal cell surface membrane binding sites for progesterone. We have now confirmed and extended these observations to compare the subcellular distribution of these binding s...

Design of hypoxia-targeting radiopharmaceuticals: selective uptake of copper-64 complexes in hypoxic cells in vitro (1998)
Journal Article

The well-known perfusion tracer CuPTSM, labelled with 62Cu or 64Cu, is believed to be trapped in cells non-selectively by a bioreductive mechanism. It is proposed that by modifying the ligand to increase its electron donor strength (for example by ad...

Absence of mutations in sites of key functional importance of the RIα and RIIβ regulatory subunits of protein kinase A in human breast cancers (1998)
Journal Article

There is evidence that the regulatory subunits (R) of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) are important in the biology of breast cancer and that mutations of both RIα and RIIβ, alter cellular behaviour. Consequently, a PCR-SSCP assay was esta...
