In this working note, we present the submission of the AVEIR consortium, composed of 4 French laboratories, to ImageCLEFphoto 2008. The submitted runs correspond to different fusion strategies applied to four individual ranks, each proposed by an AVEIR consortium partner. In particular, we study the complete, and partial, average of the ranking values, the minimum of these values, and a random ...

Structural studies of human G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have recently been accelerated through the use of a fusion partner that was inserted into the third intracellular loop. Using chimeras of the human β(2)-adrenergic and human A(2A) adenosine receptors, we present the methodology and data for the initial selection of an expanded set of fusion partners for crystallizing GPCRs. In part...

dna coding for the core antigen from hepatitis b virus (hbcag) was amplified, cloned and propagated in e. coli. the core protein was expressed in e. coli and the product was readily detected by western blot. this protein can be used as a diagnostic material in serum screening tests. to increase the level of expression of this antigen in bacteria, two plasmids were constructed in which the gene ...

Recombinant protein production has been widely applied for therapeutic and diagnostic applications, namely for polyclonal antibody production. Antibodies are usually raised against a specific protein by immunisation of animals with the purified protein. The Escherichia coli host cell is widely used for the bioproduction of proteins with biomedical interest but some of them are still difficult t...

Many different chromosomal translocations occur in man at chromosome 11q23 in acute leukaemias. Molecular analyses revealed that the MLL gene (also called ALL-1, HRX or HTRX) is broken by the translocations, causing fusion with genes from other chromosomes. The diversity of MLL fusion partners poses a dilemma about the function of the fusion proteins in tumour development. The consequence of ML...

Genetic engineering enables the construction of gene man Genome Project (5), efficient and robust production and purification strategies are necessary (6). For fusions resulting in fusion proteins having the combined properties of the original gene products. Fusion industrial production of recombinant proteins, simple and fast purification methods introduced as an early can be made on either or...

Localized membrane fusion in the Tetrahymena conjugation junction generates pores that provide transient cytoplasmic continuity between the two partner cells. Without male gamete-specific fusion protein HAP2/GSC1, pores fail to form, fertilization is blocked, and pair stability is compromised.

Theories which provide a dynamical explanation for the large top quark mass often include TeV-scale vectorlike and bottom partner states can be potentially discovered at LHC. These are currently probed through model-independent searches pair production via gluon fusion, as well model-dependent complementary electroweak single production. In this paper we study potential to extend those partners...
