Transgenic Overexpression of LARGE Induces alpha-Dystroglycan Hyperglycosylation in Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle [PDF]
Background: LARGE is one of seven putative or demonstrated glycosyltransferase enzymes defective in a common group of muscular dystrophies with reduced glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan.

Calretinin Immunoreactivity in the VIIIth Nerve and Inner Ear Endorgans of Ranid Frogs
Calcium-binding proteins are essential for buffering intracellular calcium concentrations, which are critical for regulating cellular processes involved in neuronal computations. One such calcium-binding protein, calretinin, is present in many neurons of

Characterization and expression analysis of chymotrypsin after bacterial challenge in the mud crab, Scylla paramamosain [PDF]
Chymotrypsin is one of the serine proteases families that have various biological functions. A chymotrypsin gene was isolated from hepatopancreas of the mud crab, Scylla paramamosain (designated SpCHY) in this study.

Expression of p63 and Bcl-2 in Malignant Thyroid Tumors and their Correlation with other Diagnostic Immunocytochemical Markers [PDF]
Introduction: Bcl-2 is a marker recently studied in thyroid tumours and proposed to have prognostic significance. p63 is expressed in a proportion of papillary thyroid carcinoma cases and may have a role in tumour progression.

Quantification of neurodegeneration by measurement of brain-specific proteins [PDF]
Quantification of neurodegeneration in animal models is typically assessed by time-consuming and observer-dependent immunocytochemistry. This study aimed to investigate if newly developed ELISA techniques could provide an observer-independent, cost ...

Chromogranin A in the olfactory system of the rat [PDF]
The olfactory bulb of the rat contains chromogranin A at a similar level as the adrenal gland or the hypophysis as revealed by immunoblots. Olfactory chromogranin A also displays the same size as chromogranin A of endocrine cells.

IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY AND NEUROBIOLOGY
Immunocytochemistry enables the localization of transmitter‐related antigens in tissue sections at either the light microscopic or the electron microscopic level. In the case of neuropeptides and certain transmitters (e.g. serotonin) it has been possible to produce antibodies directed against the putative transmitter itself.

Antibodies for immunolabeling by light and electron microscopy : not for the faint hearted [PDF]
Reliable antibodies represent crucial tools in the arsenal of the cell biologist and using them to localize antigens for immunocytochemistry is one of their most important applications.

Identification of a novel human E-Cadherin splice variant andassessment of its effects upon EMT-related events [PDF]
Epithelial Cadherin (E-cadherin) is involved in calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion and signal transduction. The E-cadherin decrease/loss is a hallmark of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), a key event in tumor progression.

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) exerts top-down control of primary visual cortex (V1) activity. As there is no direct neuronal projection from mPFC to V1, this functional connection may use an indirect route, i.e., via basalo-cortical cholinergic ...
