Transgenic mice were generated to permit the targeted ablation of cortical preplate cells at the time they are born. In these mice, the 1.3 kb golli promoter of the myelin basic protein gene was used… (More)
The Golli-myelin basic protein (MBP) transcription unit gives rise to two sets of products. One set (i.e., the MBPs) is expressed exclusively in myelin forming cells and the other set (i.e., the… (More)
Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a candidate autoantigen in the disease multiple sclerosis. Although MBP was thought to be sequestered behind the blood-brain barrier, isoforms of MBPs have recently been… (More)
BACKGROUND
Sensitization to HLA antigens (Ags) is a significant obstacle to kidney transplantation and risk factor for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). Current screening methods to assess HLA Ag… (More)
Protein products of the golli-MBP gene complex, expressed in the nervous and lymphoid systems, contain sequences in common with sequences in 'classic' MBP, expressed exclusively in the nervous… (More)
Research suggests that adolescents' family communication patterns should predict their reactions to anti-drug messages. The authors propose that the impact of such patterns is contingent upon the… (More)
