Expression of a swine class II gene in murine bone marrow hematopoietic cells by retroviral-mediated gene transfer.

abstract：:An explosion of new information linking activation of cell surface signal initiators to changes in gene expression has recently emerged. The focus of much of this information has centered around the agonist-dependent activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. Although this intracellular signal transduc...
