The function of DNA-binding proteins is controlled not just by their abundance, but mainly at the level of their activity in terms of their interactions with DNA and protein targets. Moreover, the affinity of such transcription factors to their target sequ ...
Recently, using HIV-1-derived lentivectors, we obtained efficient transduction of primary human B lymphocytes cocultured with murine EL-4 B5 thymoma cells, but not of isolated B cells activated by CD40 ligation. Coculture with a cell line is problematic fo ...
Three strains of Sphingomonas paucimobilis, B90A, UT26 and Sp+, isolated from different geographical locations, were found to degrade hexachlorocyclohexane. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains do not fall in ...
In this work we present the first results on a 'label-free' DNA analysis system based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film sensors. The detection mechanism is based on absorbance measurements performed on DNA molecules in a buffer solution. ...
Since the advent of microarrays, vast amounts of gene expression data have been generated. However, these microarray data fail to reveal the transcription regulatory mechanisms that underlie differential gene expression, because the identity of the respons ...
The organization of lin genes and IS6100 was studied in three strains of Sphingomonas paucimobilis (1390A, Sp+, and UT26) which degraded hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers but which had been isolated at different geographical locations. DNA-DNA hybridizat ...
A number of microfabricated flow cytometry devices have been proposed based on electrical(1,2) or optical(3) detection techniques. On chip marker-free differentiation of cells using impedance spectroscopy was demonstrated between leukocyte sub-populations ...
Within this project methods for the preparation of the unnatural nucleic acids 3'-O-Methyl-pRNA and pDNA (3'-Desoxy-pRNA) were developed. The pairing properties of these two systems have been examined and compared with that of pRNA. All of the three system ...
This paper presents a new electronic methodology to detect DNA hybridization for rapid identification of diseases, as well as food and environmental monitoring on a genetic base. The proposed solution exploits a new (electrical) capacitive measurement circ ...
In a systematic search for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) target genes, we identified S3-12 and perilipin as novel direct PPAR-gamma target genes. Together with adipophilin and tail-interacting protein of 47 kDa, these genes ...
