General description

High quality single-stranded template DNA isolated from the thymus of male and female calves.

Application

Calf thymus DNA is exceptionally useful as a substrate for DNA polymerase assays, in the amplification of very long fragments and as a carrier DNA for precipitations. It was used as a standard for DNA quantification by fluorescent assay and in DNA-binding assay.

The anti-desmin monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) DSB389, AC54, and DSB860 recognize intermediate filaments (IFs) and nuclear antigens that appear granular, locate around chromosomes, and are insoluble following 0.5% Triton X-100 and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) extraction. Nuclear antigens of the MAbs were

Ternary copper(II) complexes [Cu(NST)2(phen)] (1) and [Cu(NST)2(NH3)2]·H2O (2) [HNST=N-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)naphthalene-1-sulfonamide] were prepared and characterized by physico-chemical techniques. Both 1 and 2 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The crystal structures show the presence of a distorted square planar CuN4 geometry in

In most articles, cytotoxicity of cationic polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers toward red blood cells has been exclusively explained by their surface charge. We have focused on dendrimer hydrophobicity as a second possible factor that determines this cytotoxicity. Using PAMAM-NH2 dendrimers from
