Biological activity of ovine IL-23 expressed using a foot-and-mouth disease virus 2A self-cleaving peptide.

abstract：:The history of the discovery and the development of our knowledge of IL-4 exemplifies the path of progress in biomedical science. There are unanticipated twists and turns although progress is made, sometimes quickly, other times far too slowly. Illustrative is the extended time from the first report of IL-4 in 1982 to...

abstract：:Numerous proteins are cleaved or "shed" from their membrane-bound form. One such protein, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), is synthesized as a type 2 transmembrane protein. Recently, a human protease responsible for this shedding, the TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM17), was isolated. TACE/ADAM17 is a m...
