investigation of melanogenic factors gene expression in human adult and neonate retinal pigment epithelium cell cultures
retinal pigment epithelium is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the retina by an efficient defense against free radicals, photo-oxidative exposure and light energy. for this purpose the main rpe line of defense is melanosomes. melanin content of retinal pigment epithelium cells in adults and neonates reveals remarkable variations. in the current study we compared melanogen...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF HUMAN IFNα2B GENE IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE
Interferon is a protein secreted by eucaryotic cells following stimulation by viruses, bacteria, and many other immunogenes. Recent medical studies indicate that interferons have effective role in the treatment of virus infections, immunodeficiency and certain types of cancer such as hairy cell leukaemia (HCL). The aim of the present study is to apply yeast strain for secreting human IFNα2b fol...
متن کاملVisual pigment gene changes in adrenoleukodystrophy.
PURPOSE The gene for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, a neurodegenerative disorder, is closely linked to the red/green color pigment genes on the distal X-chromosome Xq28 and one kindred is known to have a genetic change affecting both loci. The purpose of this article is to perform a systematic assessment of the frequency of this situation in many affected kindreds. METHODS Recombinant DNA pro...
متن کاملGene expression profile of native human retinal pigment epithelium.
PURPOSE To generate a profile of genes expressed in the native human retinal pigment epithelium and identify candidate genes for retinal and macular diseases. METHODS Two cDNA libraries (one amplified, the other unamplified) were constructed using RNA isolated from native human RPE sheets. The sequence from the 5' end was obtained for randomly selected clones from the two libraries. Of these,...
متن کاملAngiopathia Retinae Traumatica (purtscher): with Some Remarks on Pigment Migration.
IHIS very rare condition was first described by Purtscherl in 1910 before the Heidelberg Congress. According to him the fundus change was due to the direct effect of a severe contusion on the head, resulting in a sudden increase of the intracranial pressure, which w.-ourd extend throughl the nerve-head to the retinal laver. Haemorrhaages observed, followed the rupture of the retinal veins, and ...
