Cloning and Sequencing of the Bottle-Nosed Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Interferon-.GAMMA. Gene.
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1999 The bottle-nosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) interferon-gamma(IFN-gamma) cDNA was cloned from mitogen stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) RNA utilizing the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The dolphin IFN-gammacDNA was 585 base pairs in length and contained an open reading frame of 498 nucleotides encoding an ...

Age determination and age related factors in the teeth of Western North Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. [PDF]
, 1980 Teeth were taken from 120 bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, which had stranded on the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. The number of annual growth layer groups (GLGs) for each animal was used to construct a growth curve. The growth rate of

Cloning and Sequencing of a Bottle-Nosed Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Interleukin-4-Encoding cDNA
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1999 Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a bottle-nosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) interleukin-4 (IL4) cDNA was cloned and sequenced. IL4 specific primers were based on the 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the human and murine IL4 gene. The dolphin IL4 cDNA is 528 base pairs in length and contains an open reading frame of 402 nucleotides coding an IL4
