A method for selective staining of damaged yeast cells

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine neue Methode zur selektiven Färbung beschädigter (toter) Hefezellen mit Hilfe eines Gemischs von Uranylnitrat und Ponceau-Rot beschrieben, die grosse praktische Vorteile gegenüber der klassischen Methylenblau- und Nilblaufärbung besitzt.     

Amino-acid substitutions at codon 13 of the N-ras oncogene in human acute myeloid leukaemia

DNAs from four out of five patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) tested by an in vivo selection assay in nude mice using transfected mouse NIH 3T3 cells were found to contain an activated N-ras oncogene. Using a set of synthetic oligonucleotide probes, we have detected a mutation at codon 13 in all four genes. The same codon is mutated in an additional AML DNA that is positive in the focus-formation assay on 3T3 cells. DNA from the peripheral blood of one patient in remission does not contain a codon 13 mutation.     

A method for the determination of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase in sperm plasma from boars and bulls.

A method is described for the determination of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) activity in sperm plasma from boars and bulls as a test for fertilizing ability.
