Journal ArticleDOI

Human tumour necrosis factor: precursor structure, expression and homology to lymphotoxin.

TL;DR: Recombinant tumour necrosis factor can be obtained by expression of its complementary DNA in Escherichia coli and induces the haemorrhagic necrosis of transplanted methylcholanthrene-induced sarcomas in syngeneic mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning and expression of human tissue-type plasminogen activator cDNA in E. coli

TL;DR: Bacterial clones containing human tissue-type plasminogen activator cDNA sequences were identified in a cDNA library prepared using gel-fractionated mRNA from human melanoma cells and a polypeptide was produced having the fibrinolytic properties characteristic of authentic human t-PA.
Journal ArticleDOI

The tumour-suppressor gene patched encodes a candidate receptor for Sonic hedgehog

TL;DR: It is shown that Re can form a physical complex with a newly cloned vertebrate homologue of the Drosophila protein Smoothened (vSmo), and that vSmo is coexpressed with vPtc in many tissues but does not bind Shh directly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of the Jak1 Gene Demonstrates Obligatory and Nonredundant Roles of the Jaks in Cytokine-Induced Biologic Responses

TL;DR: The generation of mice lacking the ubiquitously expressed Janus kinase, Jak1, demonstrate that Jak1 plays an essential and nonredundant role in promoting biologic responses induced by a select subset of cytokine receptors, including those in which Jak utilization was thought to be nonspecific.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of human immune interferon cDNA in E. coli and monkey cells

TL;DR: The polypeptide produced through expression of this DNA sequence in Escherichia coli or cultured monkey cells had properties characteristic of authentic human IFN-γ.
