Transposons Tn1696 and Tn21 and their integrons In4 and In2 have independent origins.
The first 13.6 kb of the mercury and multidrug resistance transposon Tn1696, which includes the class 1 integron In4, has been sequenced. In4 is 8.33 kb long and contains the 5'-conserved segment (5'-CS) and 2.24 kb of the 3'-conserved segment (3'-CS) flanking four integrated cassettes. The 3'-CS region is followed by one full copy and an adjacent partial copy of the insertion sequence IS6100 f...
متن کاملChallenges in Antibody Development against Tn and Sialyl-Tn Antigens
The carbohydrate antigens Tn and sialyl-Tn (STn) are expressed in most carcinomas and usually absent in healthy tissues. These antigens have been correlated with cancer progression and poor prognosis, and associated with immunosuppressive microenvironment. Presently they are used in clinical trials as therapeutic vaccination, but with limited success due to their low immunogenicity. Alternative...
متن کاملAutoradiographic studies of tn/tn mouse embryos.
High-resolution autoradiographic studies were used to determine whether t12/t12 and tw32/tw32 mouse embryos synthesize the excessive lipid which distinguishes these embryos prior to their death. The studies show that the tn homozygotes synthesize neutral lipid which is stored in intracellular lipid droplets. Cholesterol and phospholipid precursors are not incorporated into these droplets.
متن کاملMEASLES EPIDEMICS TN KERMAN, IRAN
In early 1990, an outbreak of measles occurred in Kerman, (population 257, 284) Iran. Overall, 475 cases were identified and four died (case fatality ratio 5.4 per thousand). Illness was limited primarily to children below 15 years of age 166 (22.3%) were in children under five, 573 (77%) between 5-14 and six (0.8%) above 15 years of age. The age of the cases ranged from five months to 35 y...
متن کاملThe integrons In0, In2, and In5 are defective transposon derivatives.
The class 1 integrons In0, In2, and In5, found in different locations in pVS1, Tn21, and pSCH884, have closely related structures. All three integrons contain an insertion sequence, IS1326, that is a new member of the IS21 family. IS1326 has caused deletions of adjacent 3'-conserved segment and transposition module sequences, and all three integrons retain a complete copy of only one of four ge...
