Adenovirus serotypes 4 (ADV-4) and 7 (ADV-7) are important causes of febrile acute respiratory
disease (ARD) in US military recruits. Previously licensed vaccines, which effectively …

When subjected to prolonged exposure to nicotinic agonists, nicotinic acetylcholine
receptors undergo desensitization, resulting in an inactive receptor that does not allow for the …

Spirochetes of the genus Leptospira infect animals and humans and are the causative
agents for the emerging infectious disease leptospirosis. Rapid and simple assays for the …

We carried out parallel experiments first on the slow clinostat and then in space-flight to
examine the effects of altered gravity on the aggregation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors …

Potassium channels govern duration and frequency of excitable membrane events and may
regulate signals that are important in neuronal development. This study assesses the …

Background In-depth examination of the plasma proteomic response to infection with a wide
variety of pathogens can assist in the development of new diagnostic paradigms, while …

The normal range of human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (RBC-AChE) activity is important
when monitoring exposure to pesticides and chemical warfare agents. A modification of …

Objectives: Azithromycin is not associated with significant adverse effects or restricted usage
in certain populations unlike standard antileptospirosis agents. In this study, the utility of …

Normal developmental upregulation of K Ca channel activity in cultured rat cerebellar Purkinje
neurons was selectively inhibited by antisense oligonucleotide sequence (3 μM) targeted …

Morphometric analyses of cultured rat Purkinje neurons, visualized with anti-calbindin,
demonstrated that elevated KCl (10 mM) significantly increased dendritic outgrowth and …
