Detection of icaA and icaD genes of Staphylococcus aureus isolated in cases of bovine mastitis in the Republic of Serbia [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria, 2017 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the most common agent of contagious mastitis that causes serious health and economic problems. The ability to form biofilms is an important virulence factor of S. aureus for the establishment of persistent infections.

Structure and promoter analysis of murine CAD and ICAD genes [PDF]
Cell Death and Differentiation, 1999 Caspase-activated DNase (CAD) degrades chromosomal DNA during apoptosis, whereas ICAD (inhibitor of CAD) inhibits the CAD's DNase by binding to it. Here, we describe the assignment of murine CAD and ICAD genes to the distal part of murine chromosome 4. Molecular cloning and structural analysis indicated that CAD and ICAD genes are comprised of 7 and 6 ...
