13. The homologous and heterologous regions within the iap gene allow genus- and species-specific identification of Listeria spp. by polymerase chain reaction.
The iap gene of Listeria species encodes protein p60. The comparison of iap-related genes from different Listeria species indicated common and variable regions within these genes which appeared to be specific for each Listeria species. On the basis of the iap gene sequences, pairs of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers which allowed the unambiguous ident

14. Improved methods for structure probing in large RNAs: a rapid 'heterologous' sequencing approach is coupled to the direct mapping of nuclease accessible sites. Application to the 5' terminal domain of eukaryotic 28S rRNA.
We have developed a combined approach for probing native structures in large RNAs. In the first method, after digestion with a structure specific nuclease, accessible sites are mapped at sequence resolution along the entire RNA molecule which is used as a template for the reverse transcriptase elongation of a 5' end labelled selected primer (coding strand of

15. PCR assay based on a microsatellite-containing locus for detection and quantification of Epichloë endophytes in grass tissue.
A PCR assay which allows detection and quantification of Epichloë endophytes in tissues of the grass Bromus erectus is described. PCR with specific primers flanking a microsatellite-containing locus (MS primers) amplified fragments 300 to 400 bp in length from as little as 1.0 pg of fungal genomic DNA in 100 ng of DNA from infected plant material. When anne

16. Resistance of previously infected chimpanzees to successive challenges with a heterologous intraclade B strain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
To test whether the protective effects of attenuated simian immunodeficiency virus vaccines in macaques were applicable to the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-chimpanzee system, two groups of animals, previously infected with HIV-1(IIIB) or HIV-1(SF2) were each challenged with a heterologous clade B virus, HIV-1(DH12). Following challenge, the pa

17. Genetic diversity in clinical isolates of the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis detected by a PCR-based random amplified polymorphic DNA assay.
Blastomyces dermatitidis is a dimorphic fungus causing localized or systemic infection in areas where the organism is endemic in the central and southeastern United States. In this study, 19 independent isolates of B. dermatitidis from Little Rock, Ark., were grouped into three classes based on restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns in mitochondri

18. Enhanced impairment of chain elongation by inhibitors of HIV reverse transcriptase in cell-free reactions yielding longer DNA products.
We have studied the relationship between the length of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT)-mediated nucleotide polymerization and inhibitors of these reactions in cell-free RT assays performed in the presence of either of two dideoxynucleoside triphosphates (ddNTPs), i.e. AZTTP or 3TCTP, or nevirapine, a non-nucleoside RT inhibitor. These reactions employed a h

19. Development of cDNA probes for typing group A bovine rotaviruses on the basis of VP4 specificity.
Dot and Northern (RNA) blot hybridization assays were developed for the P typing of group A bovine rotaviruses (BRV) by using cDNA probes prepared from gene segment 4. The probes were prepared by polymerase chain reaction amplification of hyperdivergent regions (nucleotides 211 to 686) of BRV strain UK, IND, NCDV, and Cr VP4 cDNA by using specific oligonucle

20. RNA primer used in synthesis of anticomplementary DNA by reverse transcriptase of avian myeloblastosis virus.
When either the homologous RNA (avian myeloblastosis virus RNA) or a heterologous RNA (poliovirus RNA) was used as a template, the anticomplementary DNA synthesized in vitro by avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase (RNA-directed DNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.7) was primed by fragments of the original RNA template that usually had adenosine

21. Efficient site-specific cleavage by RNase MRP requires interaction with two evolutionarily conserved mitochondrial RNA sequences.
RNase MRP is a site-specific endonuclease that processes primer mitochondrial RNA from the leading-strand origin of mitochondrial DNA replication. Using deletional analysis and saturation mutagenesis, we have determined the substrate requirements for cleavage by mouse mitochondrial RNase MRP. Two regions of sequence homology among vertebrate mitochondrial RN

22. Applications of Competitor RNA in Diagnostic Reverse Transcription-PCR
Detection of RNA viruses by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR has proven to be a useful approach for the diagnosis of infections caused by many viral pathogens. However, adequate controls are required for each step of the RT-PCR protocol to ensure the accuracies of diagnostic test results. Heterologous competitor RNA can be used as a control for a number of dif

23. Detection and Identification of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Serotype 5 by Multiplex PCR
Serotyping of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is based on detection of the serotype-specific capsular antigen. However, not all isolates can be serotyped, and some may cross-react with multiple serotyping reagents. To improve sensitivity and specificity of serotyping and for early detection, a multiplex PCR assay was developed for detection of A. pleuropneum

24. Cloning, heterologous expression, and chromosomal localization of human inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase.
Inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase, an enzyme in the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway, catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 1 position phosphate from inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate. We used a cDNA that encodes bovine inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase as a probe to isolate the human counterpart by low-stringency hybridization
