Journal ArticleDOI
Heat shock is lethal to fibroblasts microinjected with antibodies against hsp70
TL;DR: Results indicate that functional hsp70 is required for survival of these cells during and after thermal stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring mRNA Expression by Polymerase Chain Reaction: The "Primer-Dropping" Method
TL;DR: A method to monitor mRNA expression that is based upon the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and includes multiple sets of primer pairs in coamplification reactions is developed and demonstrated the utility by monitoring the expression kinetics of cyclins A, B1, D1, and E, and of the immediate-early genes c-fos, c-myc, and beta-actin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cdc2 kinase is a nuclear protein that is essential for mitosis in mammalian cells
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cdc2 is a nuclear and centrosomal protein that is required for mitosis in mammalian cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
REAP: A two minute cell fractionation method
TL;DR: The REAP method is a two minute non-ionic detergent-based purification technique requiring only a table top centrifuge, micro-pipette and micro-centrifuge tubes and has proven to efficiently separate nuclear from cytoplasmic proteins as estimated by no detectible cross-contamination of the nucleoporin and lamin A nuclear markers or the pyruvate kinase and tubulin cytop lasmic markers.

TL;DR: Telomere length is longer in females than males, although this difference was not universally found in studies that did not use Southern blot methods, and further research on explanations for the methodological differences is required.
