Strains of Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Can Alter Their van Genotypes during an Outbreak (1997)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Chadwick, P. R., Morrison, D., & Cookson, B. D. (1997). Strains of Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Can Alter Their van Genotypes during an Outbreak. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 35(11), 2966-2968

Two isolates of Enterococcus faecium with VanA glycopeptide resistance were isolated during a hospital outbreak of E. faecium with plasmid-mediated VanB resistance. Both were found to be identical to the VanB outbreak strain by pulsed-field gel elect...

In Situ Hybridization and Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction Studies on the Expression of the GABAc Receptor ρ1- and ρ2-subunit Genes in Avian and Rat Brain. European Journal of Neuroscience, 9(11), 2414-2422. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-9568.1997.tb01658.x

The pharmacological properties of homo-oligomeric channels formed by the GABA type A receptor-like ρl and ρ2 polypeptides are very reminiscent of those of the GABA type C receptors that have been extensively characterized in the retina. Similar recep...

The site-specific Integration system of the temperate Streptococcus thermophiles Bacteriophage φSfi21 (1997)
Journal Article
Bruttin, A., Foley, S., & Brüssow, H. (1997). The site-specific Integration system of the temperate Streptococcus thermophiles Bacteriophage φSfi21. Virology, 237(1), 148-158. https://doi.org/10.1006/viro.1997.8769

The temperate bacteriophage fSfi21 integrates its DNA into the chromosome of Streptococcus thermophilus strains via site-specific recombination. Nucleotide sequencing of the attachment sites identified a 40-bp identity region which surprisingly ove...

Solid-phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography determination of tamoxifen and its major metabolites in breast tumour tissues (1997)
Journal Article
MacCallum, J., Cummings, J., Dixon, J., & Miller, W. (1997). Solid-phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography determination of tamoxifen and its major metabolites in breast tumour tissues. Journal of Chromatography B, 698(1-2), 269-275. h

A sensitive (200 ng/g) and selective reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography separation has been developed to determine the levels of tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OH) and desmethyltamoxifen (DMT) in tumour tissue taken from patients...

Candidate gene study of eight GABAA receptor subunits in panic disorder (1997)
Journal Article
Darlison, M. G., Bailey, M., Johnson, K., Wang, Z., Crowe, R., Albrecht, B., …Zoega, T. (1997). Candidate gene study of eight GABAA receptor subunits in panic disorder. American Journal of Psychiatry, 154(8), 1096-1100. https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.154.8

OBJECTIVE: gamma-Aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor subunit genes are candidate genes for panic disorder. Benzodiazepine agonists acting at this receptor can suppress panic attacks, and both inverse agonists and antagonists can precipitate th...

Protein kinase C- and Ca2+ ionophore-stimulated production of reactive oxygen species in mechanically dispersed isolated bovine luteal cells (1997)
Journal Article
Sakka, E., Rae, M., Bramley, T., & Aitken, J. (1997). Protein kinase C- and Ca2+ ionophore-stimulated production of reactive oxygen species in mechanically dispersed isolated bovine luteal cells. Biology of Reproduction, 57(2), 428-435

We measured the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) using luminol-horseradish peroxidase-induced chemiluminescence in mechanically dispersed cell suspensions from bovine corpus luteum (CL). Since other cell types besides luteal cells were pre...

Journal Article

Opioid receptors from a lower vertebrate (Catostomus commersoni): Sequence, pharmacology, coupling to a G-protein-gated inward-rectifying potassium channel (GIRK1), and evolution. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 94(15), 8214-8219

The molecular evolution of the opioid receptor family has been studied by isolating cDNAs that encode six distinct opioid receptor-like proteins from a lower vertebrate, the teleost fish Catostomus commersoni. One of these, which has been obtained in...

We have recently described two variants of the chicken {GABAA} receptor β2 subunit which arise by alternative splicing of the corresponding primary gene transcript. The long form of the β2 subunit (β2L) differs from the short form (β2S) by the insert...

We report the isolation of molluscan (Lymnaea stagnalis) partial complementary DNAs (cDNAs) that encode two new putative glutamate-gated cation-channel polypeptides. These proteins, which we have named Lym-eGluR4 and Lym-eGluR5, exhibit 56% identity...
