Induced hyperlipaemia and immune challenge in locusts [PDF]

, 2004
Injections of immunogens, such as β-1,3-glucan or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), bring about a marked hyperlipaemia with associated changes in lipophorins and apolipophorin-III in the haemolymph of Locusta migratoria.

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...
