The expression of six mRNA species (alpha 2, alpha 3, alpha 5, beta 2, beta 3, and gamma 2) encoding for GABAA receptor subunits was followed in cultured early postnatal cortical neurons by in situ hybridization histochemistry. In untreated control

L-Dopa therapy in Parkinson's disease (PD) is counfounded by the development of involuntary movements such as L-Dopa-induced dyskinesias (LIDs). In this study GABA(A) receptor autoradiography was assessed using [(3)H]flunitrazepam binding to the benzodiazepine site of the GABA(A) receptor and [(35)S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate

Thymol is a monoterpene that specifically interacts with synaptic neural functions in neuronal GABA-operated Cl(-) channels. Here we explore the effects of thymol, and propofol as positive control, on t-[(35)S]butylbicyclophosphorothionate ([(35)S]TBPS) binding in primary cultures of cortical neurons. The study

In the absence of GABA, neuroactive steroids that enhance GABA-mediated currents modulate binding of [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate in a biphasic manner, with enhancement of binding at low concentrations (site NS1) and inhibition at higher concentrations (site NS2). In the current study, compound

H11 subtype influenza viruses were isolated from a wide range of bird species and one strain also was isolated from swine. In an effort to generate reagents for a chimeric H11/1 hemagglutinin-based universal influenza virus vaccine candidate, we produced 28
