Thrombin Receptor Polymorphism in Chinese Hamster
We report the existence of a new Chinese hamster thrombin receptor allele, characterized by an in-frame insertion of three nucleotides at position 250 of the published sequence. As a consequence, an additional proline is inserted into a proline-rich region of the extracellular amino-terminal domain of the receptor.

Assessment of the cytotoxicity of chlorhexidine by employing an in vitro mammalian test system
Background/purpose: Chlorhexidine (CHX), a chlorophenyl biguanide with broad antibacterial action, has been widely used in dentistry. The initial uses of CHX in dentistry were to wash operation site and to disinfect root canals. Recently, the addition of

Giant cell formation produced by laser microbeam irradiation of chromatin in Chinese hamster cells [PDF]
A pulsed laser microbeam of wavelength 532 nm was used to produce visible small lesions in the nucleoplasm or in the cytoplasm of V79 Chinese hamster cells.

Mechanisms involved in the induction of aneuploidy: the significance of chromosome loss
The induction of aneuploidy by physical and chemical agents using different test systems was evaluated. The effect of X-rays, caffeine, acetaldehyde, ethanol, diethylstilbestrol, propionaldehyde, and chloral hydrate was studied by chromosome counting in ...

Central role for the XRCC1 BRCT I domain in mammalian DNA single-strand break repair [PDF]
The DNA single-strand break repair (SSBR) protein XRCC1 is required for genetic stability and for embryonic viability. XRCC1 possesses two BRCA1 carboxyl-terminal (BRCT) protein interaction domains, denoted BRCT I and II.

ESR studies of O2 uptake by Chinese hamster ovary cells during the cell cycle.
Magnetic interactions between dissolved oxygen and nitroxide radical spin probes lead to broadening of the ESR lines. We have used a closed-chamber method based on this property to determine the maximum rate of O2 uptake per cell (Vmax per cell) in ...
