the human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulation factor (hgm-csf) gene was cloned in the pet 23a( +) expression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage t7 transcription and translation signals. the hgm-csf gene was transferred into e. coli strainbl21 (de3)plyss andiptg was used for induction of gm-csf gene. production of the target protein was obtained as revealed by elisa and weste...

transforming growth factor betas are multifunctional polypeptides in the cytokine superfamily. they have a growth inhibitory role on hemopoietic progenitor cells in semisolid colony assay as well as in long-term bone-marrow culture. tgf - β2 represses stromal cells, stem cell factor gene transcription, and decreases the stability of c-kit transcripts in hemopoietic cells. tgf-β also modulates g...

allergic airway inflammation is characterized by elaboration of cytokines and chemokines leading to recruitment of inflammatory leukocytes, predominantly eosinophils, to the airways. granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (gm-csf) is generated in the lungs of human subjects with asthma in response to allergen challenge and is necessary for the development of allergen-induced bronchial...

four exons of the human genomic gm-csf gene were assembled together using gene splicing by overlap extension (soe) method. the resulting nucleotide sequence was cloned in the pet23a(+) ex pression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage t7 transcription and translation signals. the construct obtained was transferred into the e. coli strain, bl21(de3) plyss and iptg was used for inducti...

in recent years, biotechnology has provided the possibility of creating genetically modified (gm) organisms by transferring genes from sources such as viruses, bacteria, animals, and plants into usually unrelated species. this ability to overcome insurmountable physiological barriers by exchanging genetic materials among all living organisms is a double-edged sword. on the one hand, it allows t...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous human pathogen that infects 40 to 90% of adult human populations. HCMV infections are often asymptomatic in healthy individuals but can cause severe organ and life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. The antiviral antibody response to HCMV infection is complex and is known to include virus-neutralizing antibody production against surfa...

Human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has been synthesized in high yield using a temperature inducible plasmid in Escherichia coli. The human GM-CSF is readily isolated from the bacterial proteins because of its differential solubility and chromatographic properties. The bacterially synthesized form of the human GM-CSF contains an extra methionine residue at position 1...
