Application

A non-selective medium for the isolation and cultivation of many pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms.

Preparation Note

Suspend 40 g in 1 litre of distilled water. Bring to the boil to dissolve completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. For blood agar, cool to 45-50°C and add aseptically 6% of sterile defibrinated blood.

Calcineurin is required for B cell receptor (BCR)-induced proliferation of mature B cells. Paradoxically, loss of NFAT transcription factors, themselves calcineurin targets, induces hyperactivity, which suggests that calcineurin targets other than NFAT are required for BCR-induced proliferation. Here we demonstrate
