Mink's immunoglobulin (Ig) G Fc gene was cloned, the gene was analyzed by phylogenetic analysis, and western blot was done to prove that the detection of distemper and canine parvovirus in dogs and minks can be universal. In order to get the certain length of Fc segment gene, a pair of primers is designed, which according to the Fc segment gene sequences of mink's IgG (L07789) published by GenB...

BACKGROUND Several adult stem cell populations exhibit myogenic regenerative potential, thus representing attractive candidates for therapeutic approaches of neuromuscular diseases such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). We have recently shown that systemic delivery of MuStem cells, skeletal muscle-resident stem cells isolated in healthy dog, generates the remodelling of muscle tissue and gi...
