Two further cohorts of 50 BRCA1/2 mutation carriers each in the UK and US are being recruited using a similar protocol, which will permit a combined analysis of results in the future.
SPECT/CT was performed using a similar protocol to the bremsstrahlung imaging using LEHR collimators and a 15%% energy window centred at 140 keV.
A group of 96 children with first simple FS who were imaged using a similar protocol served as controls.A total of 22 (11.5%) children had definitely abnormal (n = 17) or equivocal (n = 5) increased T2 signal in the hippocampus following FSE compared with none in the control group (p < 0.0001).
These migratory assays were undertaken using a similar protocol to that used for human cells.
In this study, we also found no extension of life using a similar protocol on Drosophila (Figure 1).
Binding of 99mTc-rCR2 to C3d was evaluated by ELISA using a similar protocol as described above.
The second extraction of the two skulls was performed using a similar protocol based on the Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit.
E. coli DHFR was expressed and purified using a similar protocol for expression and purification of B. anthracis DHFR, as we described previously in [30].
Both the glycosylated and non-glycosylated proteins were soluble and were purified to homogeneity in three steps, using a similar protocol.
We tested for activation of the two-hybrid reporter genes using a similar protocol that was previously used for identifying interactions between proteins in Plasmodium falciparum [6].
To exclude aspecific labeling, membranes were labeled using a similar protocol as described above, with the difference that the PilQ monoclonal antibody was replaced by buffer.
