Molecular cloning and characterization of Duck CD25.
The IL-2Ralpha chain (CD25, Tac) is an essential component of high affinity IL-2Rs, playing critical role for the immune specificity of antigen-activated T-cell clonal expansion. Up to now, no duck cytokine receptor has been described. Here, the cDNA segment of a duck cytokine receptor (duCD25), encoding a 226 aa precursor protein with a 20 aa signal peptide, was isolated. Then a novel mouse mo...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and sequence analysis of a chicken cDNA encoding tyrosinase-related protein-2/DOPAchrome tautomerase.
We have cloned and sequenced a chicken cDNA encoding an l-DOPAchrome tautomerase (DCT) from an embryonic melanocyte cDNA library. The chicken DCT gene encodes a deduced protein of 516 amino acids (aas) and shares 69.2% and 69.9% aa sequence identity with the deduced mouse and human DCT proteins, respectively. Northern blot hybridisation analysis reveals a DCT transcript of 3.5kb in RNA from the...
متن کاملThe Pekin duck programmed death ligand-2: cDNA cloning, genomic structure, molecular characterization and expression analysis
Programmed death-1 (PD-1), upon engagement by its ligands, programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and programmed death ligand-2 (PD-L2), provides signals that attenuate adaptive immune responses. Here we describe the identification of the Pekin duck PD-L2 (duPD-L2) and its gene structure. The duPD-L2 cDNA encodes a 321 amino acid protein that has an amino acid identity of 76% and 35% with chicken an...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of a human tyrosinase-related-protein-2 cDNA. Patterns of expression in melanocytic cells.
Pigmentation in mammals is under complex genetic control. Amongst the genes involved in this process, those encoding tyrosinase and the tyrosinase-related-proteins 1 and 2 have been well characterized and share a number of features. Recently, the murine tyrosinase-related-protein-2 gene was shown to encode dopachrome-tautomerase activity and was mapped to the slaty locus. Human tyrosinase and t...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning, Expression and Purification of Protein TB10.4 Secreted by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Objective(s) Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of mortality among the infectious diseases, especially in developing countries. One of the main goals in tuberculosis research is to identify antigens which have the ability of inducing cellular and/or humoral immunity in order to use them in diagnostic reagents or vaccine design. The aim of this study was to clone and express the TB'0.4 prot...
