Transcession of DNA from bacteria to human cells in culture: a possible role in oncogenesis.

abstract：:Previous studies have established that methanolic extracts of bovine brain and lung possess CDS activity with an agonist-like profile at alpha(2)-adrenoceptor binding sites (i.e., greater potency against [(3)H]-clonidine sites than against [(3)H]-RX-821001 sites). Following prolonged reflux in ethylacetate, monovalent...
