## Abstract The involvement of calcium ions in the mechanism of meiotic resumption has been studied in mouse oocytes made resistant to the lethal effects of calciumβfree medium (CFM) by zona pellucida removal (De Felici et al., '89). We show here that such oocytes undergo meiotic resumption in CFM
A synthetic peptide consisting of amino acid residues 106 to 126 of the human prion protein (PrP c ) that forms fibrils in vitro is toxic to cultured neurons. We have previously shown that the neurotoxic effect of this peptide is related to microglia activation (Brown et al., 1996a). For closer insi
