Transport of thyroid hormone across the cell membrane is required for its action and metabolism. Recently, a T-type amino acid transporter was cloned which transports aromatic amino acids but not… (More)
The FokI restriction endonuclease recognizes an asymmetric DNA sequence and cuts both strands at fixed positions upstream of the site. The sequence is contacted by a single monomer of the protein,… (More)
The BcgI endonuclease exemplifies a subset of restriction enzymes, the Type IIB class, which make two double-strand breaks (DSBs) at each copy of their recognition sequence, one either side of the… (More)
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors (CGRP-Rs) are widely distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. A novel CGRP-R was identified from a porcine lung… (More)
Plasmid DNA immunizations induce low levels but a broad spectrum of cellular and humoral immune responses. Here, we investigate the potential of co-stimulation through 4-1BB as an adjuvant for a… (More)
Protective immunity at the gut-associated mucosal tissue is induced primarily by oral/rectal immunization owing to the need for targeting antigen to the gut-resident dendritic cells (DCs). In this… (More)
Both cell mediated and humoral immune responses are required for recovery from Brucella abortus infection. In the development of vaccines capable of providing immuni ty against brucellosis, L7/L12… (More)
