DIVERSITY IN THE HLA-I RECOGNITION OF HLA-F MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES: HLA-F OR HLA-IB MONOSPECIFIC, HLA-E OR HLA-G BISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES WITH OR WITHOUT HLA-IA REACTIVITY

Diversity in the HLA-I Recognition of HLA-F Monoclonal Antibodies: HLA-F or HLA-Ib Monospecific, HLA-E or HLA-G Bispecific Antibodies with or without HLA-Ia Reactivity

Previous investigators have used various anti-HLA-F monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to demonstrate that the tissue distribution of HLA-F is highly restricted.Notably, these mAbs differed in their immunodiagnostic capabilities.Specifically, mAbs Fpep1.1 and FG1 detected HLA-F intracellularly in B cells but not on the cell surface, whereas mAb 3D11 dete

Manipulating heat shock factor-1 in Xenopus tadpoles: neuronal tissues are refractory to exogenous expression.

BACKGROUND: The aging related decline of heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) signaling may be causally related to protein aggregation diseases.To model such disease, we tried to cripple HSF1 signaling in the Xenopus tadpole.RESULTS: Over-expression of heat shock factor binding protein-1 did not inhibit the heat shock response in Xenopus.RNAi against HSF1 mR
