Genetic aspects of immunologic abnormalities in New Zealand mouse strains

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Genetic Basis of Copper Resistance in New Zealand Strains of Pseudomonas Syringae

Strains of Pseudomonas syringae able to grow on minimal medium containing 500 mg/litre of copper sulphate were selected from a collection of streptomycin-resistant strains isolated in New Zealand. From one of these copper-resistant strains a 1.3 kb fragment of DNA was isolated by PCR using primers designed on genes reported to be associated with copper resistance. Sequencing of this fragment re...

Immunologic Abnormalities in β-Thalassemia

β-thalassemia is a hereditary hemolytic anemia associated with a decrease or complete lack of synthesis of β-globin chains as a result of inheriting the mutant gene. Currently there are more than 100 varieties of hemoglobin gene mutations, which can lead to β-thalassemia. In the world there are 60-70 thousand patients with major form of this genetic anomaly. The basic treatment for β-thalassemi...

A polymorphism in New Zealand inbred mouse strains that inactivates phosphatidylcholine transfer protein.

New Zealand obese (NZO/HlLt) male mice develop polygenic diabetes and altered phosphatidylcholine metabolism. The gene encoding phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (PC-TP) is sited within the support interval for Nidd3, a recessive NZO-derived locus on Chromosome 11 identified by prior segregation analysis between NZO/HlLt and NON/Lt. Sequence analysis revealed that the NZO-derived PC-TP conta...
