| isolation of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus from wild house mice (mus musculus) in osaka port, japan. | lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (lcmv) was isolated from 14 out of 35 wild house mouse samples captured on two piers of osaka port in japan. four of them were isolated from were isolated from 18 antibody positive mice while 10 were from 17 antibody negative mice. this is the first report of the isolation of lcmv from wild mice in japan. | 1991 | 1836377 |
| isolation of viruses from female culex tritaeniorhynchus in aedes albopictus cell cultures. | isolation of viruses from female culex tritaeniorhynchus was performed by inoculation of specimens into aedes albopictus clone c6/36 cells as well as into suckling mouse brains (smb). altogether, 32,812 mosquitoes in 349 pools were processed from the specimens collected in osaka prefecture during the summer of 1978. thirty-nine strains of japanese encephalitis virus (jev) were isolated in c6/36 cells in contrast to 27 strains in smb. twenty-four pools yielded jev both in cell cultures and in smb ... | 1981 | 7235135 |
| international telemicroscopy with a 3 mv ultrahigh voltage electron microscope. | the ability for remote microscope operation via a network connection was added recently to the ultrahigh voltage electron microscope (uhvem) in osaka university, and used successfully for the observation of thick biological samples across the pacific ocean by researchers at the national center for microscopy and imaging research (ncmir) at the university of california san diego. high-quality images at video rate were transferred by a satellite link and control signals were transmitted by an isdn ... | 2000 | 10805395 |
| mouse circadian rhythm before the kobe earthquake in 1995. | mouse circadian diagrams recorded at osaka university showed unusual mouse behavior before the kobe earthquake on january 17th, 1995. the locomotive activities on january 16th showed drastic increases, several times above the standard deviation, during both sleep and active periods, indicating that mice perceived of some preseismic signals. | 2003 | 12696089 |
| a nucleotide substitution responsible for the tawny coat color mutation carried by the mskr inbred strain of mice. | "tawny" is an autosomal recessive coat color mutation found in a wild population of mus musculus molossinus. the inbred strain mskr carries the mutation. the causative gene mc1r(taw) of the tawny phenotype is the second recessive allele at the melanocortin 1 receptor locus and is dominant to the first recessive allele, "recessive yellow" (mc1r(e)). the mc1r(taw) gene has six nucleotide substitutions, and its forecasted transcript has three amino acid substitutions (i.e., v101a, v216a, w252c). th ... | 2005 | 15653560 |
| [recent progress in mycobacteriology]. | mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the most successful bacterial parasites of humans, infecting over one-third of the population of the world as latent infection without clinical manifestations. over 8.8 million new cases and nearly 2 million deaths by tuberculosis (tb) occur annually. tb poses a significant health threat to the world population. the goal of this symposium is to open new avenues for combating tuberculosis. the speakers have presented their data and provided control strategies ... | 2007 | 18018602 |
