Ligand Design for Specific MHC Class I Molecules on the Cell Surface.

abstract：:The intracellular level of beta-hydroxydecanoyl thio ester dehydrase, the product of the fabA gene of Escherichia coli, was increased by isolation of a putative promotor mutant (termed fabAup) or by molecular cloning of the wild-type fabA gene into plasmid pBR322. The fabAup and plasmid-carrying strains overproduced d...
