Methamphetamine (METH) is an amphetamine analog that produces degeneration of the dopaminergic system in mammals. The neurotoxic effects of the drug are thought to be mediated by oxygen-based free radicals. In the present report, we have used immortalized neural cells obtained from rat mesencephalon

The expression of the proto-oncogene, translation factor elF-4E, was examined in breast-cell lines: 5 carcinomas and 2 normal. At the protein level, elF-4E was 10 times higher in the carcinoma lines than in normal cells, which is comparable to the level found in breast-cancer biopsies. The elevation
The nature of the bcl-2 family of protooncogenes was analyzed by sequence alignment, secondary structure prediction, and phylogenetic techniques. Phylogenies were inferred from both the nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of the human, murine, rat, and chicken sequences for BCL-2 and BCL-X, human

Background. It is unclear whether HER-O/neu proto-oncogene expression in ovarian epithelial neoplasms is related to prognosis. Methods. The authors performed immunohistochemical stains on 20 serous tumors of low malignant potential (STLMP) in Stages I and I1 and 19 serious carcinomas in the same st
