Antibody inhibition and alpha6beta1 ligand binding experiments indicate that the egg integrin alpha6beta1 functions as a receptor for sperm during gamete fusion; yet, eggs null for the alpha6… (More)
Microvilli are found on the surface of many cell types, including the mammalian oocyte, where they are thought to act in initial contact of sperm and oocyte plasma membranes. CD9 is currently the… (More)
CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family, associates with a variety of other proteins to form the tetraspanin web. CD9 forms direct and relatively stable associations with the immunoglobulin… (More)
The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF) plays a very important role in the regeneration of the nervous system. Based on the results of the X-ray structure analysis of rat GDNF, human… (More)
Aberrant expression of microRNA (miRNA) in tissues may lead to altered level in circulation. Considerable evidence has suggested that miRNA deregulation is involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's… (More)
Heat-shock protein A subunit(HspA), an effective immunogen may stimulate the immunoresponse in human body against challenge of H.pylori. The B subunit of cholera toxin (CtxB) has been proved to be a… (More)
The human persephin (PSP) was expressed in Tn-5B1-4 insect cells using the Bac to Bac baculovirus expression system. The expressed product amounted for 20% of total cellular soluble proteins. The… (More)
The fragment C of tetanus toxin was amplified from Clostridium tetani DNA by PCR. This fragment was cloned into expression vector pET-28a(+),under the control of the T7 promoter. Expression of this… (More)
