Background: To determine whether random-start controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), in which a stimulation is performed regardless to day of patient’s menstrual cycle, has similar outcomes in comparison to conventional early follicular phase-start COS for cryopreservation of fertilized oocytes in cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was performed at two infertility cen...

Objective: This is a review of our cases and published literature on cheiro-oral syndrome (COS), to better understand its localization, etiology and outcome. Methods: In addition to our database, we reviewed the medical database (including PUBMED, BIOSIS, EMBASE, and SCOPUS) and other sources, searched by the keyword of “cheiro-oral”. The defi nition of COS was a subjective or an objective sens...

interferon gamma (ifn-γ) is one of the key cytokines in defining t helper 1 lymphocyte immuneresponses. in this study, the bovine ifn-γ gene was cloned from spleen tissue rna using the reversetranscription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr). ifn-γ cdna was sub-cloned and expressed inmammalian expression plasmid (pcdna3.1(+)) under the control of the human cytomegalovirus (cmv)promoter. the pred...

As an atypical member of the Rab family, Rab24 has several attributes distinguishing this protein from the other members. Based on the yeast two-hybrid system, interaction between human RAB24 and two proteins, cyclophilin A (CyP-A) and gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor-associated protein (GABARAP), was detected and identified in COS-7 cells. Interestingly, RAB24 is predominantly localized...

Several human leucocyte surface glycoproteins and two lymphoid protein kinases were transiently expressed in monkey COS-7 fibroblastoid cells. All glycosylphospha-tidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (CD14, CD16B, CD48, CD59, CD87 and GPI-anchored versions of CD2 and CD25) and protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) Lck but not transmembrane proteins (CD2, CD4, CD5, CD6, CD8) and PTK ZAP-70 were in part...
