Infection of cells by HIV can result in a period of quiescence or latency which may be
obviated by treatment with inducing agents such as 5‐azacytidine. Evidence from these …

Copper‐and zinc‐containing superoxide dismutase (Cu‐ZnSOD), manganese‐containing
superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX, both Se …

The study of anti-DNA antibodies has several motivations. One derives from the role of anti-
DNA antibody formation as part of an autoimmune response that is characteristic of the …

Programmed cell death or apoptosis occurs under physiological conditions as a result of
physiological effectors. It is a relatively slower process and requires active participation of …

Enzymes are indispensable tools in recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering.
This book not only provides information for enzymologists, but does so in a manner that will …

In mammals DNA methylation occurs at position 5 of cytosine in a CpG context and
regulates gene expression. It plays an important role in diseases and inhibitors of DNA …

Genomic sequencing was used to study the extent of cytosine methylation of four CpG sites
within the regulatory region of the estradiol-inducible avian vitellogenin II gene. Three of …

During the past few decades we have witnessed an era of remarkable growth in the field of
molecular biology. In 1950 very little was known of the chemical constitution of biological …

Apolipoprotein E (apoE) synthesis has been examined in rat and guinea pig tissues using in
vitro translation and [35S] methionine labeling of tissue slices. A number of tissues not …

DNA methylation plays a key role in the regulation of gene expression. The most common
type of DNA modification consists of the methylation of cytosine in the CpG dinucleotide. At …
