    • Identification of a functioning mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 in thymus 

      Fallon, Padraic; Porter, Richard (2005)
      We present evidence that rat and mouse thymi contain mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP 1). Reverse transcriptase-PCR detected RNA transcripts for UCP 1 in whole thymus and in thymocytes. Furthermore, using antibodies ...

    • Images of mitochondrial UCP 1 in mouse thymocytes using confocal microscopy 

      Voorheis, Howard; Fallon, Padraic; Porter, Richard; Nolan, Derek (2008)
      The aim of this study was to demonstrate the constitutive expression of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP 1) in pure thymocytes using laser scanning confocal microscopic imagery. To that end we probed thymocytes from ...

    • Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 expression in thymocytes. 

      Fallon, Padraic; Porter, Richard (2008)
      Using an antibody specific and selective to mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) peptide, this study confirms the observation that UCP 1 is present in thymocytes isolated from UCP 1 wild-type, but not UCP 1 knock-out ...
