Human Myostatin Propeptide

Development and Clinical Application in Arthritis of a New Immunoassay for Serum Type IIA Procollagen NH2 Propeptide

on a polyclonal antibody raised against recombinant human exon 2 fusion protein of type II procollagen. We show that this ELISA is highly specific for circulating PIIANP and has adequate technical precision. In patients with knee osteoarthritis and rheumatoid

Mutational Analysis of the Human Protein C Gene

The single gene for protein C is located at position q13–q14 on chromosome 2 (1 ). Two groups have described human genomic clones of protein C isolated from phage l charon libraries using cDNA for human protein C as hybridization probes

Molecular Biological Strategies in the Analysis of Antibiotic Peptide Gene Families: The Use Oligonucleotides as Hybridization Probes

Antibiotic peptides are host defense effector molecules broadly distributed throughout the animal kingdom. Many different families of peptides can be identified based on mature peptide structure or, in some cases, by similar propeptide
