Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen from the mulberry silkworm Bombyxmori : Cloning and characterisation
In a proliferating eukaryotic cell, duplication of the genetic complement occurs once per cell cycle during the S phase. DNA replication in a single cell must be coordinated with other cell cycle processes such as mitosis ... -
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrosis virus: expression from very late promoters
The baculovirus expression system has been widely used to synthesise soluble, posttranslationally processed recombinant proteins in biologically active form. For highlevel expression of cloned foreign genes, the promoters ... -
Genetic analysis of flex, an x-linked female-lethal mutation in Drosophila Melanogaster
Abstract Not Available -
Studies on the hemagglutinin spike protein VP4 of human rotaviruses
Rotaviruses belong to the family Reoviridae and are the major cause of severe, acute infantile gastroenteritis in humans and animals worldwide. Rotavirus diarrhoea accounts for about a million deaths per year, primarily ... -
Studies on the mechanism of action of 5-Fluorouracil : efffect on Interleukins - IL-1, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-6
5-Fluorouracil is a potent anticancer agent which is clinically used against a large number of tumors namely colorectal cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer etc. Prolonged treatment with the drug is required to achieve ... -
Characterization of Rinderpest virus and Mechanism of its Persistence in Vero Cells
Despite the fact that an enormous amount of work is being carried out on measles and canine distemper viruses, there is very little information available on the structure-function relationship and persistence of rinderpest ... -
Isolatin, characterisation and culturing of protoplasts from microsporum canis

Bacterial leaf stripe disease of arecanut (arecacatechu) caused by xanthomonas areoae
The bacterial leaf stripe disease of Areca was earlier reported as caused by Xanthomonas arecae. Additional strains of the pathogen were isolated, and detailed biochemical studies were conducted and reported for the first ... -
Studies on the biosynthesis of beta-phenethyl alhol in candida guilliermondii
The occurrence of aromatic alcohols, viz., p-phenethyl alcohol (PEA), p-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl alcohol (HOPEA), and p-indole ethyl alcohol (IEA) has been reported in plants and microorganisms. Among these, PEA is widely ... -
Studies on rinderpest virus and host virus interaction om birus infected cells

Molecular characterization of genes and promoters of mycobacteriophage I3
Although nearly 250 mycobacteriophages have been isolated, they have not been subjected to detailed biochemical studies. Our laboratory has been investigating various aspects of mycobacteriophage 13 and its interaction ... -
Regulation of Fibroin Gene Expression in Bombyx mori
The silkworm Bombyx mori has been exploited as a convenient model system for the study of eukaryotic gene expression and its regulation. The genes investigated include chorion genes, certain tRNA genes (alanyl and glycyl), ... -
Quantitative studies on the expression of rinderpest virus genes in acute and persistent infections.
This chapter is addressed to some of the unresolved issues concerning the response of the Van der Pol oscillator to whitenoise excitation. The stationary response in this case is distinctly nongaussian. This is due to the ...
