The Neolithic transition in this part of the world was accompanied by demic diffusion of Afro-Asiatic-speaking pastoralists from the Middle East, and it is suggested that the North African pattern of Y-chromosomal variation is largely of Neolithic origin.

These data are the first to show that high yield production of soluble and functional rhIFNalpha2b tagged with GST can be achieved in E. coli, without optimization of any step of the process.

This procedure was used efficiently to introduce substitutions, deletions, and insertions in the DNA sequences coding for a recombinant form of antibody 107 specific of the human CR3 molecule, the rat α integrin CD11b A-domain and the human CD8β cloned in pPICZαB, pGEX-2T, and CDM8 expression vectors, respectively.

The affinity of metal ions to integrins is itself regulated by the activation state of these receptors and by certain ligands, elucidate a new level of regulation of the integrin-metal-ligand ternary complex and help explain some of the discrepant effects of Ca2+ on integrin -ligand interactions.
Carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) deficiency in Maghrebian patients: evidence for founder effect and genomic recombination at the CA II locus

A founder effect to explain the common CA II deficiency allele in this population of Tunisian families is supported, with the relatively high recombination frequency suggests the presence of a hot spot for recombination or gene conversion at the CA II locus.

The trans-production of rCFP32 in P. pastoris significantly improved the serologic detection of CFP32-specific antibodies in patient sera, thereby offering a new, possibly better, modality for producing antigens of diagnostic potential for use in the development of immunoassays for both TB and other infectious diseases.

The expression and secretion of the rat CD11b A-domain is reported using the same LSSP and S. lividans as host strain to support the capability of Streptomyces to produce heterologous recombinant proteins as soluble secreted form using the “LSSP” synthetic signal peptide.
