Inflammatory molecules released by pollen trigger allergies
How do pollen particles provoke allergic reactions? A new study in the February 21 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine puts some of the blame on bioactive molecules that are released from pollen. These molecules bind to immune cells and cause them to launch a typical allergy-promoting immune response. Pollen from plants exposed to air pollutants produce more of these allergy-provoking c...Improved Outcomes Releases GeneLinker(TM) Gold and Platinum Version 4.6
Improved Outcomes Software (IOS) todayannounced the release of GeneLinker(TM) Gold and Platinum 4.6, newversions of the award-winning Gene Expression and Proteomics AnalysisSoftware products."The new releases are focused primarily on importing and analyzingprotein biomarker data, a high priority for many of our customers.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today released an automated literature search tool for the multidisciplinary study of biological systems. The tool is available as a free plug-in to Cytoscape 2.1, an open-source bioinformatics platform that enables researchers to form a visual map of complex biological networks, increasing their understanding of molecular pathways and the biological causes of...Catch & Release v2.0 High Throughput (HT) Immunoprecipitation Assay Kit- 96 well from Upstate
Description:This kit allows for quick and reproducible immunoprecipitation (IP) by using a 96 well filter plate. The system is more reproducible than regular IPs, which are problematic with regards to washing the protein A/G agarose without disrupting the agarose bed. The binding of the antibody/antigen complex in Catch and Release is reversible, and elution of the immune complex can occur with native or den...Benzonase Nuclease HC, Purity > 90% from Novagen
Description:Benzonase Nuclease is a genetically engineered endonuclease. This unique enzyme degrades all forms of DNA and RNA while having no proteolytic activity. It is effective over a wide range of conditions and possesses an exceptionally high specific activity. Ideal for removal of nucleic acids from recombinant proteins, its use enables compliance with FDA guidelines for nucleic acid contamination. The...Mung Bean Nuclease from New England Biolabs
Description:Request Info...DNA Exonuclease III , E. coli from EPICENTRE Biotechnologies
Description:Exonuclease III digests duplex DNA in a 3'-> 5' direction from a blunt end, 5'-overhang or nick, producing stretches of single-stranded DNA. Under defined reaction conditions, DNA degradation by Exonuclease III proceeds at a uniform rate yielding predictable and reproducible results. Because the rate of exonucleolytic excision of deoxyribonucleotides by Exonuclease III is dependent upon reaction...Recombinant RNasin® Ribonuclease Inhibitor from Promega
Description:Natural and Recombinant RNasin Ribonuclease Inhibitors have broad spectrum RNase inhibitory properties, including the inhibition of eukaryotic RNases of the neutral type (1). The 50kDa protein exerts its inhibitory effect by noncovalently binding to RNases in a 1:1 ratio. The Ki value for the binding of RNasin Ribonuclease Inhibitor to RNase (e.g., RNase A) is approximately 1014M (24). Promega of...Restriction Endonucleases Undergo Rigorous QC Testing to Ensure Optimal Performance
Stratagene Restriction endonucleases are used in many molecular biology protocols,making the functional purity of critical importance. Each restriction enzymepreparation must be free of contaminants that can potentiall...Detect Released Oligosaccharides Using the Eagle Eye II Still Video Imaging System

It is common knowledge in most laboratories that RNA is more susceptible to degradation than DNA. Unlike Deoxyribonucleases (DNases), which require metal ions for activity (and can therefore easily be inactivated with chelating agents such as EDTA), ribonucleases (RNases) have virtually no cofactor requirements and adv...Nuclease Protection Assays: The Basics

MADISON - Business Filings Inc., a provider of services that help small businesses incorporate, has announced its release of a web-based application that businesses can use to manage annual state requirements. sends e-mails to business owners reminding them of due dates for annual report, tax...Want skin cancer? Please have a cigarette
The January first issue of the Journal of clinical oncology has come out with a damning indictment of smoking. It says smokers have a three-fold chance of developing skin cancer than people who have not smoked before. The report is based on a study conducted by Dr. Jan N. Bouwes Bavinck from Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands and colleagues. The authors found a significa...New Lease Of Life For Baby With A Heart Transplant
An 8-month-old identical twin that got a lifesaving heart transplant left the hospital Saturday six weeks after the surgery, the hospital officials said.Less than a month back, two families were in grief, one having lost their infant son, and the other over their gravely ill baby. //Then in an act of kindness and with the help of modern medicine, the child has a new lease of life. Th...Sweet corn releases antioxidants on cooking
Effect of antioxidants have always been beneficial to our body. When sweet corn is heated, its antioxidant content is released from the grain, and thereby making it a very healthy addition to one's diet.// There has always been a common misconception that boiling or steaming vegetables and fruits lowers their nutritional content. According to new study, one loses some vitamin C when you h...Bone Marrow Cells Could Yield A New Lease of Life
Researchers offer intriguing results from a study involving women with leukemia who died after receiving a bone marrow transplant from a male relative.An analysis of the women’s brains shows evidence of the transplanted // cells up to six years after the initial transplant, suggesting some of the bone marrow cells were actually acting as stem cells -- basic cells capable of developing int...Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release System
