Structure of the major capsid protein (hexon) of adenovirus types 40 and 41 and the use of hexon-derived oligonucleotide probes for diagnosis
(University of St Andrews, 1991) - ThesisThe genes encoding the major capsid proteins (hexons) of human adenovirus types 40 and 41 were isolated and sequenced. Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences with the hexons of adenovirus types 2 and 5 revealed ... -
Factors affecting the distribution and abundance of grey seals, (Halichoerus grypus) around the U.K.
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - ThesisThe UK grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) population has been increasing steadily for at least 30 years. During this period, the number of pups born at all major colonies has been monitored annually by the Natural Environment ... -
Flow-dependent restructuring of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton and activation of NF-κB in cultured endothelial cells
(University of St Andrews, 2002) - ThesisEndothelial cells are profoundly influenced by shear stresses associated with blood flow. A parallel plate chamber was used to study the effects of flow on (i) the morphology of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton; and ... -
Marine benthic system function and biodiversity
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - ThesisUnderstanding the influence of biodiversity on the functioning of ecosystems is vital given current rates of species loss. The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning was explored in marine sediment ... -
GABAergic modulation of locomotor rhythmicity during post-embryonic development in 'Xenopus laevis'
(University of St Andrews, 1996) - Thesis1. The role of the inhibitory amino acid, GABA acting at GABAa receptors during embryonic and larval Active swimming in Xenopus laevis has been investigated. 2. Intracellular recordings, under tetrodotoxin, reveal two ...
