Photosynthesis and Expression of Circadium Gene KaiC in Synechococcus
This paper provided some evidences that there was a relationship between photosynthesis and circadian gene expression in unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongates PCC 7942. The gene KaiC was cloned by...

Visual Presentation as a Welcome Alternative to Textual Presentation of Gene Annotation Information
The functions of a gene are traditionally annotated textually using either free text (Gene Reference Into Function or GeneRIF) or controlled vocabularies (e.g., Gene Ontology or Disease Ontology). Inspired by ...

Simulation Study of Breast Tissue Hemodynamics During Pressure Perturbation
We simulated the effects of compression of the breast on blood volume and tissue oxygenation. We sought to answer the question: how does the compression during breast examination impact on the circulatory syst...

Allele Frequencies at the D2S44, D10S28 and D14S13 Loci in Four Southern African Populations
Polymorphic DNA arising from variations in the number of short tandem repeats accounts for many of the hypervariable regions detected in the human genome (Nakumura et. al., 1987). For this preliminary study we...

False Paternity Trios in white, black and Cape Coloured populations
The populations of the Western Cape region are mainly white, black (Xhosa) and the Cape Coloured (CC). The CC population are of mixed genetic background, from white, black, Khoisan and Oriental (Malay) origins...

DNA Ty** — Strategies in Paternity and Forensic Casework
Since 1972 we have tested 7272 cases of doubtful paternity. Most cases were adequately resolved by testing the conventional red cell antigen, plasma protein, red cell enzyme and HLA polymorphisms. During the l...

Polymorphism of HLA-DRB3 and DRB4 Genes Detected by RFLPs
All the characterized human HLA class II genes are encoded within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on the short arm of chromosome six. Among the five subregions of the class II region, HLA-DR is uniq...

The Generation of Class II Polymorphism by Recombination
One of the most striking features of the HLA gene products is their high degree of polymorphism. The HLA class II polymorphism varies from locus to locus, e.g. at present there are 18 serological defined antig...

DR3 (DRw17, DRw18): 2-D Gel Patterns
Six DR3 cell lines were included in the Workshop study (Table 1). Two-dimensional (2-D) gel patterns for both α chains and β chains were obtained using the panel of core monomorphic and selected polymorphic mo...

Unusual DR-DQ Haplotypes
The linkage disequilibrium existing between HLA-DR and DQ antigens is so strong that associations that do not follow the pattern appear as exceptions. In Caucasoids, the associations are well known: DQw1 is li...

Evolutions of the Immune System
Determining the relative importance of the elements of the immune sytem is a major task to which comparative studies may help first in pointing to key elements and second in suggesting their phylogenetic origi...

DQw2: 2-D Gel Patterns
The pH gradient used in this study was not optimal for the two-dimensional (2-D) gel analysis of the DQβ chains from DQw2 cell lines. Therefore, only the most acidic, highly glycosylated form of this extremely...

Antigen Society #2 Report (A25, A26, AW34, AW43 and AW66)
The HLA antigens A25, A26, AW34, AW43, and AW66 form a strongly cross-reacting group as most sera to these antigens react with two or more of these specificities. Monospecific sera against some of these specif...
