Comparative DNA Analysis of Solid Tumors by Flow Cytometric and Image Analyses of Touch Imprints and Flow Cell Suspensions
(1992-09-01)Comparative DNA analysis by flow cytometric (FCM) and image analyses (IA) has shown a high concordance rate. When present, discordance has been attributed to the presence of aneuploid cell populations detected only by IA, ... -
Comparative evaluation of two severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) vaccine candidates in mice challenged with SARS coronavirus
(2006-03-01)Two different severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) vaccine strategies were evaluated for theirability to protect against live SARS coronavirus (CoV) challenge in a murine model of infection.A whole killed (inactivated ... -
Comparative Genomics and Evolution of Proteins Associated with RNA Polymerase II C-Terminal Domain
(2005-11)The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II provides an anchoring point for a wide variety of proteins involved in mRNA synthesis and processing. Most of what is known about CTD-protein interactions ... -
Comparative genomics of cyclin-dependent kinases suggest co-evolution of the RNAP II C-terminal domain and CTD-directed CDKs
(East Carolina University, 2004-09-20)Background: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a large family of proteins that function in a variety of key regulatory pathways in eukaryotic cells, including control over the cell cycle and gene transcription. Among the ... -
Comparative impacts of two major hurricane seasons on the Neuse River and western Pamlico Sound ecosystems
(2004-06-22)Ecosystem-level impacts of two hurricane seasons were compared several years after the storms in the largest lagoonal estuary in the U.S., the Albemarle–Pamlico Estuarine System. A segmented linear regression flow model ... -
