We present a catalog of 167 newly discovered, irregular variables spanning $\sim$7 deg${^2}$ area that encompasses the G 305 star-forming complex, one most luminous giant H II regions in Galaxy. aim to unveil and characterize young stellar object (YSO) population region by analyzing $K_{\rm s}$-band variability $JHK_{\rm s}$ infrared colors from {\it VISTA Variables V\'ia L\'actea} (VVV) survey...

During the assembly of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor variable region genes from variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) segments, the germline-encoded repertoire is further diversified by processes that include the template-independent addition of nucleotides (N regions) at gene segment junctions. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-deficient lymphocytes had no N regions in th...

INTRODUCTION High levels of rheumatoid factors (RF) are detectable in serum of the majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but 5-10% of patients remain seronegative (SN). Despite clinical and genetic similarities between these two subsets of RA, it has been proposed that they may be regarded as distinct clinical entities. METHODS In the present study a panel of monoclonal antibod...

It has been assumed that an open reading frame (ORF) represents a unit of gene evolution as well as a unit of gene expression and function. In the present work, we report a case in which a unit comprising the 3' region of an ORF linked to a downstream intergenic region that is in turn linked to the 5' region of a downstream ORF has been conserved, and has served as the unit of gene evolution. T...
