Composition Of, Method Of Producing And Method Of Using A Stabilized Formulation For Assaying Peroxide Activity, Hsin-Hsiung Tai Apr 1993

Composition Of, Method Of Producing And Method Of Using A Stabilized Formulation For Assaying Peroxide Activity, Hsin-Hsiung Tai

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Patents

A formulation for use in detecting and/or determining peroxidase activity comprises a mixture in solution of tetramethylbenzidine, hydrogen peroxide, a buffering agent and bacitracin as a stabilizing agent. The formulation is used as a peroxidase substrate that is stable in solution for an extended period of time and provides enhanced color sensitivity.


Detection Method For Liquids Using Near Infrared Spectra, Leonard J. Galante, Robert A. Lodder Feb 1993

Detection Method For Liquids Using Near Infrared Spectra, Leonard J. Galante, Robert A. Lodder

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Patents

A method for detecting the presence or absence of microorganisms in a liquid test sample is provided without need for withdrawing an aliquot or destroying the sample. The method comprises taking near-infrared spectra of the sample and comparing it visually or mathematically to the spectra of a standard, which may be the values of the spectra known to the operator or may be a standard sample that is provided and run side-by-side.

Rapamycin-Induced Inhibition Of P34(Cdc2) Kinase Activation Is Associated With G1/S-Phase Growth Arrest In T Lymphocytes, W. G. Morice, Gregory J. Brunn, Gregory Wiederrecht, John Siekierka, R. T. Abraham Jan 1993

The macrolide rapamycin (RAP) is a potent inhibitor of interleukin-2 (IL- 2)-induced T-cell proliferation. Current models suggest that RAP, when complexed to its intracellular receptor, FK506-binding protein, interferes with an IL-2 receptor-coupled signaling pathway required for cell-cycle progression from G1- to S-phase. Here we show that RAP treatment inhibits the growth of an IL-2-dependent cytotoxic T-cell line, CTLL-2, in late G1- phase, just prior to entry of the cells into S-phase. In contrast, RAP- treated CTLL-2 cells retained the ability to respond to IL-2 with enhanced cytolytic activity, indicating that RAP was not a general suppressant of cellular responsiveness to …


Facilitation Of Penicillin Haptenation To Serum Proteins., Joseph T. Dipiro, N. Franklin Adkinson Jr., Robert G. Hamilton Jan 1993

Facilitation Of Penicillin Haptenation To Serum Proteins., Joseph T. Dipiro, N. Franklin Adkinson Jr., Robert G. Hamilton

Publications from the Office of the Dean

Traditionally, penicillin binding to serum proteins was believed to be a passive chemical process; however, it appears to be facilitated by serum factors. The objectives of this in vitro investigation were to examine facilitated penicillin haptenation, to study the kinetics of haptenation, and to determine the nature of haptenation-facilitating factors. The model involved addition of [3H]benzylpenicillin to serum or albumin solutions (at pH 7.3 to 7.4) and incubation at 37 degrees C for up to 72 h. The extent of penicillin binding to proteins in serum was found to be four- to fivefold higher than with solutions having comparable concentrations …


In Vitro Protein Binding Of Cefonicid And Cefuroxime In Adult And Neonatal Sera., John M. Benson, F. Douglas Boudinot, Andrew T. Pennell, Francesca E. Cunningham, Joseph T. Dipiro Jan 1993

In Vitro Protein Binding Of Cefonicid And Cefuroxime In Adult And Neonatal Sera., John M. Benson, F. Douglas Boudinot, Andrew T. Pennell, Francesca E. Cunningham, Joseph T. Dipiro

Publications from the Office of the Dean

The levels of in vitro protein binding of cefonicid and cefuroxime in human adult and neonatal sera were compared.Binding parameters for each drug were determined within the concentration range of 25 to 3,000 micrograms/ml.Cefonicid exhibited concentration-dependent protein binding in both types of sera, with more extensive binding in adultserum at all concentrations. Two classes of binding sites were found: a high-affinity, saturable site and a low-affinity, nonspecific site. Cefuroxime also showed two-class, concentration-dependent protein binding in adult serum, but bindingin neonatal serum was to a single class and was independent of drug concentration. Parameters for class 1 binding sites for …


Cloning And Expression Of A Human Neutral Amino Acid Transporter With Structural Similarity To The Glutamate Transporter Gene Family, Jeffrey L. Arriza, Michael Kavanaugh, Wendy A. Fairman, Yan-Na Wu, Geoffrey H. Murdoch, R. Alan North, Susan G. Amara Jan 1993

Cloning And Expression Of A Human Neutral Amino Acid Transporter With Structural Similarity To The Glutamate Transporter Gene Family, Jeffrey L. Arriza, Michael Kavanaugh, Wendy A. Fairman, Yan-Na Wu, Geoffrey H. Murdoch, R. Alan North, Susan G. Amara

Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

A cDNA was isolated from human brain that encodes an amino acid sequence 34-39% identical to previously published glutamate transporter sequences. Injection of RNA transcribed from this cDNA into Xenopus oocytes resulted in expression of a transport activity with the properties of the neutral amino acid uptake system ASC. Superfusion of alanine, serine, and cysteine evoked sodium-dependent inward currents in voltage-clamped oocytes expressing the transporter. These currents were dose-dependent, stereospecific, and saturable, with Km values ranging from 29 to 88 microM. Northern blot analyses revealed ubiquitous expression of this gene, termed ASCT1, consistent with the general metabolic role ascribed to …
