Rat Transferrin

Methods for Manipulation of Transferrin-Binding Proteins

To obtain iron, a necessary nutrient, meningococci and several other human and veterinary pathogens have iron-acquisition systems, which are expressed in vivo during infection. One target of iron-acquisition systems is transferrin (Tf

转铁蛋白(transferrin)

转铁蛋白是血液中一种主要的糖蛋白, 负责将肝组织(是铁贮藏的主要场所)的铁向其它组织的细胞运输。没有结合铁的转铁蛋白称作脱铁转铁蛋白(apotransferrin), 它能够紧紧结合两个Fe3 , 此时称为铁结合转铁蛋白(ferrotransferrin)。所有生长中的细胞表面都有铁结合转铁蛋白的受体,在中性pH条件下转铁蛋白与铁结合, 然后通过内吞作用进入细胞。在细胞内,在内体的酸性环境下, 转铁蛋白释放出铁, 但是仍与膜受体结合在一起, 并与受体一同回到质膜。当细胞外环境变成中性时

Rat x Rat Hybridomas

There is an increasing interest in the preparation of rat � rat hybridomas, because they have been found to be more stable in culture than mouse hybridomas and they secrete consistently high levels (10 �g/mL and above) of monoclonal antibody
