Molecular cloning of a cDNA encoding the feline CD62L.
We cloned a cDNA fragment encoding a feline homologue of L-selectin (CD62L). The extracellular region of the feline CD62L fragment contained a calcium-dependent (C-type) lectin domain, an epidermal growth factor-like domain, and two Sushi/CCP/SCR domains. The flow cytometric analysis confirmed that the feline CD62L molecule, which was expressed 293T cells, retained an epitope recognized by an a...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of cDNA for the human interleukin-2 receptor.
Interleukin-2 (IL-2 or T cell growth factor) is a 14,500 daltons glycoprotein critically involved in the development of a normal human immune response [1, 2J. Recently, cDNA for this lymphokine has been isolated and expressed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells [3-5J. Further, the human IL-2 gene has been cloned, sequenced [6], and localized to chromosome 4. As with other polypeptide hormo...
متن کاملRevisiting the 1986 Molecular Cloning of Interleukin 6
We reported molecular cloning of B cell stimulatory factor-2 (BSF-2)/interleukin 6 (IL-6) in 1986 (1), the same year that IL-4 and IL-5 were cloned (2, 3). Prior to the publication of our article (1), it was known that antigenic stimulation induced growth and differentiation of B lymphocytes into antibody forming plasma cells with the help of T lymphocytes and this function of T lymphocytes cou...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and sequencing of feline CD7.
Human CD7 is one of the earliest molecules to appear in T cell development. In this study, putative feline CD7 cDNA was identified based on its similarities with human and mouse CD7 genes. The feline CD7 cDNA contained an open reading frame consisting of 630 nucleotides. The amino acid sequence of feline CD7 had 47.7% identity with that of human CD7, and 52.9% with that of mouse CD7. In additio...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of feline immunodeficiency virus.
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a T-lymphotropic retrovirus associated with immunodeficiency and opportunistic infections in cats. The discovery of FIV provides an opportunity for the development of a small animal model for AIDS. To initiate the molecular and biological characterization of FIV, cDNA clones were synthesized and used to isolate a proviral clone of FIV. Molecular cross-hybr...
