DISTINCT MOTOR IMPAIRMENTS OF DOPAMINE D1 AND D2 RECEPTOR KNOCKOUT MICE REVEALED BY THREE TYPES OF MOTOR BEHAVIOR

Distinct motor impairments of dopamine D1 and D2 receptor knockout mice revealed by three types of motor behavior

Both D1R and D2R knock out (KO) mice of the major dopamine receptors show significant motor impairments.However, there are some discrepant reports, which may be due to the differences in genetic background and experimental procedures.In addition, only few studies directly compared the motor performance of D1R and D2R KO mice.In this paper, we exami

Infection of a tomato cell culture by Phytophthora infestans; a versatile tool to study Phytophthora-host interactions

Abstract Background The oomycete Phytophthora infestans causes late blight on potato and tomato.Despite extensive research, the P.infestans-host interaction is still poorly understood.To find new ways to further unravel this interaction we established a new infection system using MsK8 tomato cells.These cells grow in suspension and can be maintaine
