Molecular cloning and characterization of Duck CD25.

چکیده
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 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was generated using the prokaryotically expressed duCD25 protein as immunogen. Using this mAb, the endogenous duCD25 molecule was localized on the surface of duck lymphocytes, and the duck IL-2-induced lymphocyte proliferation was further inhibited. Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis showed that duCD25 positive cells were upregulated in ducks infected with avian influenza virus (H9N2). Our findings confirm that duCD25 is a receptor of duck interleukin-2, and duCD25 positive cells play a potential role in H9N2 virus infection.

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a Lipase from an Indigenous Bacillus pumilus
Cloning and sequencing of a lipase gene from an indigenous Bacillus pumilus, strain F3, revealed an open-reading frame of 648 nucleotides predicted to encode a protein of 215 residues. Sequence analysis showed that F3 lipase contained a signal peptide composed of 34 amino acids with an H domain of 18 residues. A tat-like motif was found in the signal peptide similar to some other Bacillus pumil...

Background: Several studies reported the clinical features of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity after ingestion of melon. Melon allergy is a common IgE-mediated fruit allergy in Iran. This prompted us to investigate immunochemical and molecular properties of the major allergen in melon fruit, to compare the IgE-binding capacity of the natural protein with the recombinant allergen, and to determine ...

Ethylene response factor proteins are important for regulating gene expression under different stresses. Different isoforms for ERF have previously isolated from bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and related genera and called from TaERF1 to TaERF5. We isolated, cloned and molecular characterized a novel one based on TdERF1, an isoform in durum wheat (Tri...
