“…2-Ethylhexyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (2-EHHB), 4-tert-octylphenol (4-OP), 4-nonylphenol-branched (4-NP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) were evaluated using a 21-day Amphibian Metamorphosis Assay (AMA). Xenopus laevis larvae were exposed nominally to each chemical at 3.6, 10.9, 33.0, and 100 μg/L, except 4-NP concentrations were 1.8, 5.5, 16.5 and 50 μg/L. …”

“…The interaction between this viral glycoprotein, E19, and nascent human class I antigens has been examined by microinjecting purified mRNA into Xenopus laevis oocytes. Both E19 and the two class I antigen subunits, the heavy chain and beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2M), were efficiently translated. …”

“…BACKGROUND: To adapt to its changing dietary environment, the digestive tract is extensively remodeled from the embryo to the adult during vertebrate development. Xenopus laevis metamorphosis is an excellent model system for studying mammalian gastrointestinal development and is used to determine the genes and signaling programs essential for intestinal development and maturation. …”

“…In the present study, we investigated if CFTR and the sodium-phosphate co-transporter type 2a (NPT2a) functionally interact after heterologous expression of both proteins in Xenopus laevis oocytes. METHODOLOGY/FINDINGS: NPT2a was expressed alone or in combination with CFTR in X. laevis oocytes. …”

“…An integrated microdevice for measuring proton-dependent membrane activity at the surface of Xenopus laevis oocytes is presented. By establishing a stable contact between the oocyte vitelline membrane and an ion-sensitive field-effect (ISFET) sensor inside a microperfusion channel, changes in surface pH that are hypothesized to result from facilitated proton lateral diffusion along the membrane were detected. …”

The estrogenic 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), and the antiestrogenic EDCs tamoxifen (TAM) and fulvestrant (ICI) were used as model substances. …”

Electrophysiological recordings of extraocular motor discharge and both spontaneous and evoked mechanosensory nerve activity were measured before, during and after administration of MS-222, then compared to benzocaine and a known paralytic, pancuronium. …”
