Human lymphotoxin and tumor necrosis factor genes: structure, homology and chromosomal localization.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human Tumor Necrosis Factor and Lymphotoxin are cytotoxic proteins which have similar biological activities and share 30 percent amino acid homology. The single copy genes which encode these proteins share several structural features: each gene is approximately three kilobase pairs in length and is interrupted by three introns. In addition, these genes are closely linked and have been mapped to human chromosome 6. However, only the last exons of both genes, which code for more than 80 percent of each secreted protein, are significantly homologous (56 percent).

Isolation and Characterization of Novel Phage Displayed scFv Fragment for Human Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Molecular Docking Analysis of Their Interactions
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) expression amplifies to excess amounts in several disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Although, Anti-TNF biologics have revolutionized the treatment of these autoimmune diseases, formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) has dramatically affected their use. The next generation antibodies (e.g. Fab, scFv) have not only reduced resulted immunoge...

Objective(s): Non- Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are two main hematological malignances which have been driven from lymphoid tissue. Genetic polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) -308 and lymphotoxin-α (LT-α) +252 may affect their transcription and expression which leads to their high plasma level. The frequency of the TNF-α (-308) and LT-...

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha/cachectin (TNF-a) and lymphotoxin (LT, TNF-B) are primarily products of monocytes and lymphocytes, respectively. The proteins are 51 % homologous in their primary structure, cause necrosis of Meth A sarcoma in vivo, are toxic to selected tumor cells in vitro, and bind to the same receptor on cells in vitro. However, some recent studies have indicated both qualitative...
متن کاملIdentification of a common nucleotide sequence in the 3'-untranslated region of mRNA molecules specifying inflammatory mediators.
Recently, cDNA sequences have been reported for both human and murine tumor necrosis factor (TNF; cachectin). The coding region of the TNF genes is highly conserved between man and mouse; 80% homology is apparent at the amino acid level. We now observe that a 33-nucleotide sequence, comprised entirely of A and T residues and located in the 3'-untranslated region, is conserved in toto in the mur...
