Pitfall in the high-throughput quantification of whole blood cyclosporin A using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]
In a growing number of laboratories the technique of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is used for the quantification of cyclosporin A in whole blood, employing cyclosporin D as the internal standard. Cyclosporin A is extensively metabolized

Increased telomere attrition following renal transplantation: impact of anti-metabolite therapy [PDF]
Background: The uremic milieu exposes chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients to premature ageing processes. The impact of renal replacement therapy (dialysis and renal transplantation [RTx]) or immunosuppressive treatment regimens on ageing biomarkers has

Bacterial IMPDH Gene Used for the Selection of Mammalian Cell Transfectants
Stable cell transfection is used for the expression of exogenous genes or cDNAs in eukaryotic cells. Selection of these transfectants requires a dominant selectable marker. A variety of such markers has been identified and is currently in use.
