This is a proposal from several investigators of diverse                   interests to obtain funds to purchase a liquid scintillation                    counter.  The instrument will be used to support five main                      projects.  First, neuroendocrine factors that stimulate the                     activity of crustacean ovarian tissue will be isolated and                      purified in studies of the regulation of crustacean reproduction.               Second, the interaction of several lymphoma cell lines with                     fibronectin will be studied as a model to help explain aspects of               the immune response.  Third, the gene for arginine kinase will be               studied as a model of regulated gene expression in a eukaryote                  (Drosophila).  Fourth, the significance of the recent discovery                 of substantial amounts of D-amino acids (as opposed to the                      usually occurring L-amino acids) in marine invertebrate tissues                 will be investigated from the stand points of function and                      metabolism.  Finally, antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus                   will be investigated to determine if the resistance is related to               a recently discovered penicillin-binding protein.
