Detection of Somatic Mutation in Exon 12 of DNA Polymerase β in Ovarian Cancer Tissue Samples
Background: DNA polymerase β (pol β) is a key enzyme of base excision repair pathway. It is a 1-kb gene consisting of 14 exons. Its catalytic part lies between exon 8 and exon 14. Exon 12 has a role in deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate selection for nucleotide transferase activity. Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from ovarian carcinoma samples. Single strand conformation polymorphism...
متن کاملتعیین اپی توپ های ناپیوسته زنجیره سبک ایمونوگلوبولین انسان توسط ایمونولوژی محاسبه ای
Background: Immunoglobulins are a group of proteins that have important role in defense against microorganisms. Immunoglobulins consist of heavy and light chains. In human, immunoglobulin light chain comprises of two isotypes: Kappa (K) and lambda (λ) based on amino acid differences in carboxylic end of their constant region. Marked changes in the K to λ ratio can happen in monocl...
متن کاملCompatibility of B-Sheets with Epitopes Predicted by Immunoinformatic in Human IgG
Background & Aims: Antibodies, well-known as immunoglobulins (Igs), are produced by B lymphocytes and specifically defend against pathogens. Igs are glycoproteins and have high diagnostic value in several diseases including infections (1). Igs are composed of light and heavy chains (2, 3). Each chain is comprised of about 110-120 amino acid residues which create immunoglobulin folds named domai...
متن کاملA method of estimating the numbers of human and mouse immunoglobulin V-genes.
Mutations in immunoglobulin V-genes can be due to gene multiplication, allelic variations, mutations induced by antigens or somatic mutations, etc., and various combinations of these. Since the number of different mouse lambda light V-gene nucleotide sequences is relatively small, a pairwise comparison between these sequences can provide a rough idea as to the contributions of the above mechani...
متن کاملIdentification of metallothionein gene structure in sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus)
Aquatic organisms present, not only simple sources of accumulated metal, but can interact with metals, altering their toxicity. Due to exposition of biosphere with metals, organisms have developed various defense mechanisms to protect themselves against adverse effects of these ions and their compounds. Metallothionein (MT) is one of that which represents a critical mechanism for detoxification...
