Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a neuropeptide found in brain and intestine. In this report, we have isolated a cDNA clone that encodes CCK from a mouse brain cDNA library. This cDNA clone has extensive homology to CCK precursors that have been sequenced previously. Southern blots of genomic DNA probed with this cDNA clone revealed single bands for each of eight different restriction enzymes, all of w...

A cDNA clone coding for a mite allergen of mol wt approximately 14,000 has been isolated and its DNA sequence determined. The native component from mite extracts encoded by this DNA was identified by immunoprobing blots of mite body extract with human IgE eluted from the electroblotted cloned fusion polypeptides derived from the expressed cDNA clone. The clone encodes a polypeptide with a deduc...

Polyclonal rabbit antibodies were raised against 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (SITS), an inhibitor of a variety of anion transport proteins. These antibodies specifically recognize SITSreacted erythrocyte band 3 in immunoprecipitations and Western blots. In Western blots of SITS-reacted membrane proteins derived from vesicles of the electric organ of Torpedo califor...
