Plus/minus screening of rabbit corneal endothelial cDNA library.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plus/minus screening of the rabbit corneal cDNA library was performed using corneal and iris RNA as probes. Thirteen clones were isolated: three ferritin H-chains, a NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase B22 subunit, an alpha 1 type VIII collagen, a 25 KDa FKBP-506 binding protein (FKBP25), a thrombospondin 2, and six unknown clones. Although proteins translocated from these isolated mRNA are not corneal specific, they play an important role in the cornea. None of the isolated known mRNAs maps to chromosome 1, 16, or 20. These clones, thrombospondin excepted, were not observed in the high frequency clones in the profile of the aortic endothelial cDNA library.

Cloning from purified high endothelial venule cells of hevin, a close relative of the antiadhesive extracellular matrix protein SPARC.
High endothelial venules (HEV) in lymphoid tissues support high levels of lymphocyte extravasion from the blood. We purified high endothelial cells from human tonsils by immunomagnetic selection with MECA-79 MAb to construct an HEV cDNA library. Differential screening of this library using cDNA probes from HEV (plus) or flat-walled vessel (minus) endothelial cells allowed us to characterize a n...
متن کاملCloning of a 1 (IV) and a2(IV) Collagen cDNAs from Rabbit Corneal Endothelial Cell RNA
To understand the role of type IV collagen in embryogenesis, regeneration, and tissue repair of the cornea at the molecular level, the authors isolated clones coding for rabbit al(IV) and a2(IV) chains from a cDNA library constructed with rabbit corneal endothelial cell RNA. The isolated a2(IV) cDNA clones encode a part of a 5' untranslated region, the signal peptide, the 7S domain, part of the...
متن کاملConstruction of human corneal endothelial cDNA library and identification of novel active genes.
PURPOSE To describe genes expressed in human corneal endothelial cells and identify novel genes. METHODS Sixteen human donor corneas that had no history of corneal disease, infection, or intraocular surgery were used within 7 days of death. Total RNA was extracted from corneal endothelial cells with attached Descemet membranes. A 3'-directed cDNA library was constructed from mRNA by using a p...

PURPOSE The authors have developed monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to characterize the sequential biochemical changes in corneal epithelial cells after they differentiate from stem cells, located in the limbus, and migrate centripetally to follow the pathway of terminal differentiation. The purpose of this study was to identify a protein (recognized by mAb HE1/11F) with increased expression associ...
متن کاملIncreased expression of lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1 in initial atherosclerotic lesions of Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits.
A novel lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) was recently identified in bovine aortic endothelial cells. It is strongly suggested to have a potential role in the initiation and development of atherosclerosis. In this study, we have isolated cDNA clones encoding the rabbit homologue of LOX-1 by screening a rabbit placenta cDNA library. In amino acid sequence and domain...
