A comprehensive proteome and phosphoproteome atlas across nine organs of the Chinese hamster
This study presents the first comprehensive proteome and phosphoproteome atlas of the Chinese hamster across nine organs (heart, liver, lung, kidney, spleen, cerebral cortex, skeletal muscle, stomach, and testis or ovary). A total of 14 219 proteins were identified in the proteome, with 11 828 phosphorylated proteins and 47 122 phosphorylation sites ...

Pathogenic mutations in the hydrophobic core of the human prion protein can promote structural instability and misfolding [PDF]
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases, are caused by misfolding and aggregation of the prion protein PrP. These diseases can be hereditary in humans and four of the many disease-associated missense mutants of PrP are in the ...

UV micro-irradiation of the Chinese hamster cell nucleus and caffeine post-treatment immunocytochemical localization of DNA photolesions in cells with partial and generalized chromosome shattering [PDF]
UV micro-irradiation of a small part of the Chinese hamster nucleus and caffeine post-incubation often results in shattered chromosomes at the first post-irradiation mitosis.

Increased inflammation with crude E. coli LPS protects against acute leptospirosis in hamsters
Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease that causes acute kidney injury, liver disease, bleeding disorders, and even death. Treatment of the disease is largely dependent on the use of antibiotics, but recent studies on pathogenesis of leptospirosis

Assignment of the Human and Mouse Prion Protein Genes to Homologous Chromosomes [PDF]
Purified preparations of scrapie prions contain one major macromolecule, designated prion protein (PrP). Genes encoding PrP are found in normal animals and humans but not within the infectious particles.

Effect of anticomplement agent K-76 COOH in hamster-to-rat and guinea pig- to-rat xenotransplantation [PDF]
In normal rats, the xenobiotic K76 inhibited the C5 and probably the C2 and C3 steps of complement and effectively depressed classical complement pathway activity, alternative complement pathway activity, and the C3 complement component during and well ...
