We describe detailed methods to measure thymidine (dThd) and deoxyuridine (dUrd) concentrations and thymidine phosphorylase (TP) activity in biological samples. These protocols allow the detection of TP dysfunction in patients with mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE). Since

Phage vB_EcoM_CBA120 (CBA120), isolated against Escherichia coli O157:H7 from a cattle feedlot, is morphologically very similar to the classic phage ViI of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. Until recently, little was known genetically or physiologically about the ViI-like phages, and none targeting

… The expression of thymidine phosphorylase (dThd Pase) in node-negative human invasive ductal carcinoma tissues was investigated by the immunocytochemical method using anti-thymidine phosphorylase monoclonal antibody.Subjects were 5 recurrent and 30 non-recurrent patients who underwent surgery at the Department of Surgery at Shinshu University Hospital between 1993 and 1996.The median follow-up period was 62.5 months.Positive dThd Pase staining was observed in the five recurrent and four non-recurrent cases. …
