Antisera against peptide histidine isoleucine and peptide histidine methionine were found to label a subpopulation of amacrine and displaced amacrine cells in the rabbit retina with processes ramifyin...
A novel peptide, levitide, less than Glu-Gly-Met-Ile-Gly-Thr-Leu-Thr-Ser-Lys-Arg-Ile-Lys-Gln-NH2 has been isolated from skin secretions of the South African frog Xenopus laevis and sequenced by fast a...
In this study, the mechanism by which an amphipathic negatively charged peptide consisting of 11 amino acids (WAE) induces fusion of liposomal phosphatidylcholine membranes is investigated. WAE-induce...
This paper reviews the three major theories of peptide receptor evolution: (1) Dwyer's theory that peptide receptors evolved from self-aggregating peptides; (2) Root-Bernstein's theory that peptide re...
We have investigated the presentation and CTL recognition of an HLA A*1101-restricted CTL peptide epitope AVFDRKSDAK (AVF)(3), derived from the EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA) 4, in the context of alleles ...
The anti-infective peptide, innate defense-regulator peptide (IDR-1), has been selectively reported to modulate the innate immune response. We found that IDR-1 stimulates the chemotactic migration in ...
Peptide radioimmunoassay has become an important clinical and research tool in understanding the role of peptides in the pathophysiology of gut endocrine tumor syndromes. A gut peptide radioimmunoassa...
