Functional coupling of beta(3)-adrenoceptors and large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in human uterine myocytes
(Endocrine Society, 2005-07-02)
Context: beta(3)-Adrenoreceptor modulation in human myometrium during pregnancy is linked functionally to myometrial inhibition. Maxi-K+ channels (BKCa) play a significant role in modulating cell membrane potential and ...
Transcription factor binding site identification using the Self-Organizing Map
(Oxford Open Journals, 2005-05-01)
Motivation: The automatic identification of over-represented motifs present in a collection of sequences continues to be a challenging problem in computational biology. In this paper, we propose a self-organizing map of ...
Characterisation of the differentially regulated trout protein 1 (DRTP1) gene in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Elsevier, 2008-10-04)
Increased levels of differentially regulated trout protein 1 (DRTP1) mRNA transcripts have been reported in fish after activation of the acute phase response. While the function of the DRTP1 protein still remains to be ...
Acute phase gene expression in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after exposure to a confinement stressor: A comparison of pooled and individual data
(Elsevier, 2009-06-09)
This study set out to investigate whether differential expression of genes for acute phase proteins in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) could be induced by confinement stress, a non-invasive method of activating the ...
Evaluation of a novel real-time PCR test based on the ssrA gene for the identification of group B streptococci in vaginal swabs.
(2009)
Despite the implementation of prevention guidelines, early-onset group B streptococci (GBS) disease remains a cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Strategies to identify women who are at risk of transmitting ...
Cloning and characterization of two genes encoding rainbow trout homologues of the IFITM protein family
(Elsevier, 2006-04-15)
To identify genes connected with leucocyte function in rainbow trout a cDNA library derived front head kidney leucocytes exposed to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was screened. A clone with homology to the previously described ...
A cDNA microarray assessment of gene expression in the liver of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in response to a handling and confinement stressor
(Elsevier, 2008-03)
A purpose-designed microarray platform (Stressgenes, Phase 1) was utilised to investigate the changes in gene expression within the liver of rainbow trout during exposure to a prolonged period of confinement. Tissue and ...
