Proteins from fish eggs that protect DNA from acid precipitation and inhibit DNA synthesis
(2001)
We partially characterized proteins that inhibit DNA acid precipitation from various fish eggs (Sparus aurata, Dicentrarchus labrax, Mugil cephalus and Zeus faber). The active proteins were purified by acetone fractionation. ...
Major histocompatibility complex variation at class II DQA locus in the brown hare (Lepus europaeus)
(2009)
The major histocompatability complex (MHC) is a multigene family of receptors that bind and present antigenic peptides to T-cells. Genes of the MHC are characterized by an outstanding genetic polymorphism, which is considered ...
Cultivation and characterization of Cynara Cardunculus for solid biofuels production in the Mediterranean region
(2008)
Technical specifications of solid biofuels are continuously improved towards the development and promotion of their market. Efforts in the Greek market are limited, mainly due to the climate particularity of the region, ...
Antioxidant activity of a series of fluorinated pyrano-nucleoside analogues of N-4-benzoyl cytosine and N-6-benzoyl adenine
(2007)
Fluorinated nucleoside analogues are known as antitumor, antiviral and chemotherapeutic agents, although the antioxidant activity of this kind of molecules is not yet investigated. In this study we have tested the antioxidant ...
Amplification of Echoviruses genomic regions by different RT-PCR protocols - a comparative study
(2004)
In the present report, the results of a comparative study in the detection of all Echoviruses reference strains as well as of 38 clinical isolates are presented. Using RT-PCR with already published primer pairs (UG(52)-UC53, ...
Matrix Metalloproteinases in Respiratory Diseases: From Pathogenesis to Potential Clinical Implications
(2009)
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-endopeptidases responsible for degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components including basement membrane collagen, interstitial collagen, fibronectin, and various ...
Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein activates neutrophils by its C-terminal region even without dodecamer formation, which is a prerequisite for DNA protection - novel approaches against Helicobacter pylori inflammation
(2008)
Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein (HP-NAP) protects DNA from free radicals as a dodecamer through its ferroxidase activity without, however, directly binding to it. The retardation that was observed at pH ...
High sequence divergence in the 5 ' non-coding region of reference Coxsackie B and ECHO viral strains and clinical isolates revealed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis
(2001)
We report the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns of a 440-bp-long 5' non-coding region (5'NCR) amplification target of all 34 reference Coxsackie B and ECHO (enteric cytopathic human orphan) enterovirus ...
Meta-analysis of association between the ASPN D-repeat and osteoarthritis
(2007)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of human arthritis. Genetic factors have been implicated in OA. It was reported that an aspartic acid (D)-repeat polymorphism in the gene encoding asporin (ASPN) was associated ...
