1.
Tigges J, McDonald J, Tigges M, Reich C
Cell Tissue Res . 1998 Feb; 290(3):665-8. PMID: 9369542
We studied the distribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY) immunoreactivity in the infundibular nucleus and the hypophysis of the chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan. Using antibodies developed in rabbit against synthetic porcine...

McDonald J, Emerick J
Arch Biochem Biophys . 1995 Nov; 323(2):409-22. PMID: 7487106
Procathepsin L, the precursor to a powerful lysosomal cysteine proteinase, has been purified to apparent homogeneity from guinea pig spermatozoa, a novel and previously unrecognized source of this catalytically active...

Thompson A, Justice Jr J, McDonald J
J Neurosci Methods . 1995 Aug; 60(1-2):189-98. PMID: 8544479
The feasibility of using the difference method of quantitative microdialysis to measure neuropeptide Y (NPY) was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The accuracy of this method was tested in...

Rothenberg M, Eilertson C, Klein K, Zhou Y, Lindberg I, McDonald J, et al.
J Biol Chem . 1995 Apr; 270(17):10136-46. PMID: 7730317
The mouse tumor cell line alpha TC1-6 was used as a model system to examine the post-translational processing of proglucagon. Determination of the mouse preproglucagon cDNA sequence and comparison with...

McDonald J, Klein K, Noe B
Cell Tissue Res . 1995 Apr; 280(1):159-70. PMID: 7750130
Peptidyl-glycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase (PAM; EC 1.14.17.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes conversion of glycine-extended peptides to alpha-amidated bioactive peptides. Two peptides that are processed at their carboxyl-termini by this enzyme...

Melikian H, McDonald J, Gu H, Rudnick G, Moore K, Blakely R
J Biol Chem . 1994 Apr; 269(16):12290-7. PMID: 8163533
Antibodies have been raised against synthetic peptides derived from the predicted primary sequence of the human cocaine- and antidepressant-sensitive norepinephrine (NE) transporter (NET). One antibody (N430), raised and purified against...

Ohba T, McDonald J, Silver R, Strange C, LeRoy E, Ludwicka A
Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol . 1994 Apr; 10(4):405-12. PMID: 7510986
In addition to its procoagulant properties, the serine protease thrombin increases endothelial permeability, stimulates granulocyte adherence, and serves as a fibroblast mitogen. We demonstrate that thrombin is mitogenic for human...

McDonald J, Parnavelas J, Davies S, Cavanagh M
Exp Neurol . 1993 Oct; 123(2):216-21. PMID: 8104819
The levels of somatostatin and neuropeptide Y were measured with radioimmunoassay bilaterally in visual cortical areas 17, 18, and 18a of rats which had received monocular enucleation at birth. Neuropeptide...

McDonald J, CULBERTSON J, OWERS N
Arch Biochem Biophys . 1993 Aug; 305(1):1-8. PMID: 8342942
Guinea pig spermatozoa were found to contain a novel cysteine proteinase that most closely resembled lysosomal cathepsin S. The responsible enzyme was shown to have an acrosomal localization. Like the...

Contijoch A, MALAMED S, McDonald J, Advis J
Neuroendocrinology . 1993 Jan; 57(1):135-45. PMID: 8479609
It has been suggested that hypothalamic median eminence (ME) might be a control site for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) release. Thus, stimulatory and/or inhibitory inputs acting at this site might...
