Bacterial synthesis of a novel human leukocyte interferon.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel human leukocyte interferon cDNA clone (LeIF B) was identified in a cDNA library prepared using polyadenylated mRNA of a myeloblastoid cell line. The nucleotide sequence of LeIF B differs significantly from other published leukocyte interferon cDNA sequences. An expression plasmid was constructed which directs the synthesis in E. coli of 8 x 10(7) interferon units per liter of culture. LeIF B exhibits markedly different specificities from another bacterially synthesized human leukocyte interferon, LeIF A.

Bacterial plasmids containing human leukocyte interferon sequences were constructed and identified. Identification was confirmed by correspondence of the nucleotide sequence with out amino acid sequence of human leukocyte interferon. The finding of bacterial recombinants containing distinct leukocyte interferon sequences is consistent with our purification of different leukocyte interferon spec...
متن کاملA novel tumor necrosis factor (TNF) mimetic peptide prevents recrudescence of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) infection in CD4+ T cell-depleted mice.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is required to control mycobacterial infections, but its therapeutic value is limited by its in vivo instability and toxicity. The efficacy of a nontoxic TNF-mimetic peptide (TNF70-80) was tested in mice infected with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Callette-Guerin (BCG). In vitro TNF70-80 and recombinant human TNF (hTNF) acted with interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) to reduc...

Bacterial meningitis remains the leading cause of disabilities worldwide. This life-threatening disease has a high mortality rate despite the availability of antibiotics and improved critical care. The interactions between bacterial surface components and host defense systems that initiate bacterial meningitis have been studied in molecular and cellular detail over the past several decades. Bac...

Objective(s) Two new adjuvants from natural animal lipids (G2) and bacterial polysaccharide extracts (PC) were previously prepared by our group and showed a reduction in tracheal responsiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the preventive effect of recently introduced natural products (G2 and PC) on the development of asthma. Materials and Methods Asthma was induced using a standard...
