Molecular cloning of cat interleukin-12 [PDF]
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.

Molecular cloning of cDNA encoding an unrecognized component of amyloid in Alzheimer disease.
A neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer disease (AD) is a widespread amyloid deposition. We analyzed the entire amino acid sequences in an amyloid preparation and found, in addition to the major beta/A4-protein (A beta) fragment, two unknown peptides ...

Summary: Molecular cloning of BRD4-L is a challenging technique, because the DNA insert is formed by a long, GC-rich sequence, which folds into secondary structures.

Genome-wide analysis of the UDP-glucose dehydrogenase gene family in Arabidopsis, a key enzyme for matrix polysaccharides in cell walls [PDF]
Arabidopsis cell walls contain large amounts of pectins and hemicelluloses, which are predominantly synthesized via the common precursor UDP-glucuronic acid.

Molecular cloning and expression of human caldecrin [PDF]
Earlier we reported the primary structure of serum calcium‐decreasing factor (caldecrin) from rat pancreas, a protein which is considered to be a member of the elastase family. In this report, we describe the isolation of the two homologous cDNA clones encoding caldecrin from human pancreas, the structures of which are identical except for one base and

Molecular cloning and transcriptional activity of a new Petunia calreticulin gene involved in pistil transmitting tract maturation, progamic phase, and double fertilization [PDF]
Calreticulin (CRT) is a highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed Ca2+-binding protein in multicellular eukaryotes. As an endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein, CRT plays a key role in many cellular processes including Ca2+ storage and release ...

Arguments for Human Therapeutic Cloning
For over 30 years, many Western governments have regulated scientific research involving human subjects. According to Knoppers implementation of regulation followed a long and checkered history of research abuse.

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]
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 ...
