TL;DR: The yeast and bacterial expression systems described here may be useful for further studies on the problem of expressing a biologically active peptide before scorpion toxins might be used for the genetic engineering of plants for insect resistance.

TL;DR: It is shown that murine L929 cells infected with prototype reovirus strains type 1 Lang and type 3 Dearing undergo apoptosis and that T3D induces apoptosis to a substantially greater extent than T1L, and it is suggested that interaction of virions with cell surface receptors is an essential step in this mechanism of cell killing.

TL;DR: To determine whether reovirus infection is associated with these disorders, a sensitive and specific reverse‐transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) technique was used designed to amplify a portion of the reov virus L1 gene segment from extracts of liver and/or biliary tissues.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the current understanding of how hematopoietic cytokines such as IL-3, as well as its cognate receptor, are expressed and the mechanisms by which they transmit their growth regulatory signals.

TL;DR: It is reported that T3D induces apoptosis in infected mouse brain tissue, suggesting that virus-induced apoptosis is a mechanism of cell death, tissue injury, and mortality in reovirus-infected mice.
