Application of monoclonal antibodies to the isolation and characterization of a killer toxin secreted by Hansenula mrakii.

abstract：:Several mRNAs are known to be targeted to dendrites in hippocampal neurons. In this study, we show that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA has two distinct cis-acting dendritic targeting elements in the short 3' untranslated region (UTR): a constitutive element and an activity-dependent one. Moreover, delet...
