| development and application of an oligonucleotide microarray and real-time quantitative pcr for detection of wastewater bacterial pathogens. | conventional microbial water quality test methods are well known for their technical limitations, such as lack of direct pathogen detection capacity and low throughput capability. the microarray assay has recently emerged as a promising alternative for environmental pathogen monitoring. in this study, bacterial pathogens were detected in municipal wastewater using a microarray equipped with short oligonucleotide probes targeting 16s rrna sequences. to date, 62 probes have been designed against 3 ... | 2008 | 18423816 |
| production of nitric oxide by carp (cyprinus carpio l.) kidney leukocytes is regulated by cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate. | the inducible nitric oxide synthase (inos) plays a central role in the inflammatory reactions that follow infection or tissue damage. induction of nitric oxide (no) synthesis by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (lps) depends on activation of g protein-coupled receptors in mammals. thus, it was our intention to evaluate whether similar mechanisms are involved in inos activation in fish leukocytes. therefore, the participation of membrane-bound receptors which activate effectors via g proteins has bee ... | 2008 | 18424130 |
| application of pcr-rf-sscp to study major histocompatibility class ii b polymorphism in common carp (cyprinus carpio l.). | a variety of methods have been applied for the characterization of major histocompatibility (mh) polymorphism in fish. we optimized a technique designated polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragments-single strand conformation polymorphism (pcr-rf-sscp) for screening a large number of individuals for the cyca-dab1 and cyca-dab2 genes polymorphism in common carp. the advantages of this technique are simplicity, high sensitivity and low costs. pcr-rf-sscp analysis revealed different genotypes c ... | 2008 | 18430588 |
