Complementary DNA sequence and deduced peptide sequence for CD59/MEM-43 antigen, the human homologue of murine lymphocyte antigen Ly-6C

Amino Acid Sequence of an Algal Peptide Elongation Factor EF-2 Deduced from the Complementary DNA Sequence.

T-cell activation by peptide antigen: effect of peptide sequence and method of antigen presentation.

A series of synthetic peptide analogues of a determinant recognized by the ovalbumin-specific, I-Ad-restricted, T-cell hybridoma 3DO-54.8 were synthesized. The resulting peptides were tested for activation of 3DO-54.8 cells by using glutaraldehyde-fixed cells as well as reconstituted membranes as antigen-presenting surfaces. The results show that the minimum epitope for activation of this T cel...

Structure, expression, and T cell costimulatory activity of the murine homologue of the human B lymphocyte activation antigen B7

Following occupancy of the T cell receptor by antigen, T cell proliferation and lymphokine production are determined by a second costimulatory signal delivered by a ligand expressed on antigen presenting cells. The human B cell activation antigen B7, which is expressed on antigen presenting cells including activated B cells and gamma interferon treated monocytes, has been shown to deliver such ...

Amino acid sequence of the testosterone-regulated mouse kidney RP2 protein deduced from its complementary DNA sequence

The major forms of testosterone-regulated RP2 messenger RNA (also known as MAK mRNA and pMK908) in the mouse kidney were characterized by examining cDNA and genomic clones. Three sizes of RP2 mRNA are detected by Northern blot analysis and these were shown to result from polyadenylation at three distinct sites within the primary transcript of this single-copy gene. The complete RP2 mRNA sequenc...

Primary structure of the neutralization antigen of simian rotavirus SA11 as deduced from cDNA sequence.

DNA sequences complementary to the double-stranded RNA coding for the neutralization antigen (glycoprotein VP7) of simian rotavirus SA11 have been cloned. The VP7 gene consists of 1,062 nucleotides, containing an uninterrupted coding sequence of 978 nucleotides which specifies a glycoprotein of 326 amino acids. The significance of a second possible initiation site 30 nucleotides downstream from...
