Novel disintegrin-like peptides derived from an amphibian skin cDNA sequence of Hypsiboas punctatus

by

Disintegrins comprise a family of small proteins that bind to and alter the physiological function of integrins, especially integrins that mediate platelet aggregation in blood. Here, we report a lysine-glycine-aspartic acid (KGD) disintegrin-like motif present in a 15-amino acid residue peptide identified in a cDNA library of the amphibian Hypsiboas punctatus skin. The original peptide … Read more

cDNA synthesis for BCR-ABL1 detection at the MMR level: the importance of using the appropriate kit

by

BACKGROUND The synthesis of complementary DNA (cDNA) for use in the detection of BCR-ABL1 at the Major Molecular Response (MMR) level is a well-established method used by clinical laboratories world-wide. However, the quality of cDNA provides sensitivity challenges and consequently affects the detection of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD). RESULTS Herein, we evaluated six commercially available … Read more
