Disease relevance of Caesium sulphate

• The banding behaviour of the viruses of southern bean mosaic virus group in gradients of caesium sulphate [1].
• The antibody did not cause irreversible inactivation of the transcriptase since full activity was recovered by isolating ribonucleoprotein (RNP) cores from the inhibited virions using NP-40 treatment and subsequent centrifugation in a caesium sulphate density gradient [2].
• Equilibrium density-gradient ultracentrifugation in caesium choride and caesium sulphate has been used in the isolation and fractionation of the glycoproteins specific for blood-group P1 from hydatid cyst fluids [3].

High impact information on Caesium sulphate

• Soaking crystals of rhodanese (thiosulphate:cyanide sulphurtransferase) in 2 M caesium sulphate reveals three caesium binding sites of this enzyme [4].
• In this study, ternary aggregate structures consisting of versican, hyaluronan, and link protein were isolated from rat dental pulp by associative extractions followed by caesium sulphate rate zonal sedimentation centrifugation [5].
• Proteoglycan subunits from human articular cartilage were fractionated by caesium sulphate density gradient centrifugation [6].
• The complementary RNA sequences were shown to be virus-specific by the following criteria: (1) high melting temperature than double-stranded RNA from non infected cells; (2) higher density in caesium sulphate; (3) specific hybridization with viral DNA [7].
