• Despite the excessive enthusiasm of some proponents of this field and the negativism of its critics (Bishop 1983 a, b; Duesberg 1983), it is clear that analytical tools and new information will be of value in further studies on experimental cancer, regardless of whether cellular oncogenes (c-onc genes) have anything to do with human cancer or not [7].
• METHODS: Using the Children's Communication Checklist (Bishop, 1998), we surveyed 142 children who had been referred for clinical investigation, with a predominant diagnosis of either an autistic spectrum condition (n = 87) or conduct disorder (n = 55), and 60 typically developing comparison children [8].

Biological context of 2,3-dicetyloxypropyl-trimethyl-ammonium

• We propose a model to explain the pattern of capillary regression observed and conclude from these and previous experiments (Lang and Bishop (1993) Cell 74, 453-462), that during regression of the pupillary membrane, the macrophage elicits target cell death by inducing apoptosis [21].
• The cis-acting element used is an 838-base pair fragment that was shown previously to provide a de novo methylation signal (Mummaneni, P., Bishop, P. L., and Turker, M.S. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 552-558) [22].
• Northern blot analysis with the c-myb cDNA clone pSG3, which contains the entire open reading frame (ORF) plus 500 base pairs of 3' untranslated sequences (Gerondakis & Bishop, 1986), and genomic probes revealed c-myb RNA species of 4.3 kb in addition to the major 4.0 kb species [23].
• We find that although the relationship proposed by Ralston & Bishop, between the c-myc oncogene and adenovirus E1a proteins, appears to be significant in the binomial approximation, it is not supported by the full analysis [24].
• We have previously reported heterologous genetic recombination resulting from crosses involving temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of La Crosse (LAC) group II and snowshoe hare (SSH) group I ts mutants (J.
