Molecular cloning of cat interleukin-12 [PDF]
Immunogenetics, 1997 The recently discovered interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric 70000 Mr cytokine composed of a disulphide-bonded 35000 Mr (p35) subunit and a 40000 Mr (p40) subunit. Produced mainly by activated monocytes/macrophages and B cells, it enhances NK/LAK cell cytolytic activity and stimulates cytotoxic T-cell responses and IFN-γ production.

Characterization, cloning and immunogenicity of antigens released by transforming cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2000 A schistosome infection is initiated when the parasite penetrates the skin of a susceptible host. Relatively large quantities of protein are released by transforming cercariae compared to later larval stages.

A species-specific satellite DNA family in the genome of the coffee root-knot nematode Meloidogyne exigua : Application to molecular diagnostics of the parasite [PDF]
, 2002 A new Bg/II satellite DNA has been isolated, cloned and sequenced from the coffee root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne exigua (Nematoda: Tylenchida). It is represented as tandemly repeated sequences with a monomeric unit of 277 bp. The monomers are present at

Molecular cloning and characterization of B-cadherin, a novel chick cadherin. [PDF]
, 1991 Calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion is mediated in large part by a set of homologous integral membrane glycoproteins termed cadherins. In this report, antibodies to conserved domains in previously described cadherins have been used to isolate cDNAs ...

Development of an R4 dual-site (R4DS) gateway cloning system enabling the efficient simultaneous cloning of two desired sets of promoters and open reading frames in a binary vector for plant research. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Vast numbers of proteins work cooperatively to exert their functions in various cells. In order to understand the functions and molecular mechanisms of these proteins in plants, analyses of transgenic plants that concomitantly express two protein-coding ...
