Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (Mab) Against Ehrlichia Risticii
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996Researchers at the University of Maryland, Department of Veterinary Medicine have developed a cell line that produces a monoclonal antibody (Mab) against Ehrlichia risticii which is the causative agent for Potomac Horse Fever. This Mab is well characterized and has high affinity for a specific Ehrlichia risticii protein. It can be used to develop...

Structural Actuation and Sensing through Directional Attachment
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996For a number of years, researchers have attempted to develop a real-time sensor/actuator for the aerospace and aeronautic industries. However, the previous attempts have not been successful in coupling the actuator/sensor in such a way that its behavior is anisotropic; a requirement for real-time control of the substrate. Intelligent actuation...

Construction of a Strain of E. coli That Can be Used to Select DNA Methyltransferase Clones
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996Escherichia coli contains several genes, designated mcrA, mcrB and mmr, that are able to destroy DNA that has been methylated at specific sequences. Currently identified known methylase-producing strains have limited commercial value due to their low levels of enzyme production. One solution is to cloning and overexpressing the methylase genes in...

Selective Plating Medium for Isolation of Salmonella
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996Researchers at the University of Maryland, Department of Veterinary Medicine, in collaboration with researchers from the USDA, have developed an agar-based plating medium for the isolation of Salmonella species. This medium has been repeatedly demonstrated to be superior to other media in isolating Salmonella from both clinical and environmental...
