V1: A very tardy thank you for the AFFX info you gave me last month. Our computer was sick for three weeks right after that, something about a mother board and a Microsoft upgrade sabotaging some other software, then the entire family was sick for the next three weeks. So excuses, excuses but I am sorry to reply so slowly.
I am seriously considering buying some Sepracor. Do you like it at the current prices?
"pepeline" With two boys ages 4 and 6, that has been a major topic of conversation around our house for the last five years.
While we are on the subject of urine, there is an article in the January 1998 issue of Nature Biotechnology, p.21, entitled "Urine as a Substitute for Milk?" written by Harry Meade and Carol Ziomek of Genzyme Transgenics. The article debates the merits of milk, blood, and urine as fluids of choice for transgenic protein production. It is written in response to a research article in the same issue, p.75, by Robert J. Wall and colleagues entitled "The Bladder as Bioreactor: Urothelium Production and Secretion of Growth Hormone into Urine" and advocating mouse urine as medium for transgenic protein production. For the layman, Scientific American has a more readable synopsis of Wall's research entitled "Urine the Money", March 1998, p.21.
The SA article is a must read for all you VD Portfolio punsters; Vector1, Rocketman, Andrew H, PseudoBiologist, Squetch, Cytoman, JF, Greyfish, consider it a Valentine's present, enjoy, and let the wild rumpus begin.
Let me know if any of you want a copy. |
