TL;DR: The tactic for the treatment of jaundice is to decompose toxic bilirubin by the enzyme bilirUBin oxidase, and for that purpose the enzyme is made into a polymer conjugate to improve its pharmacological properties.

TL;DR: The gene encoding the crystalline surface layer (S-layer) protein from Campylobacter rectus, designated slp, was sequenced and the recombinant gene product was expressed in Escherichia coli and data support the idea that the N-terminus acts as an anchor to the cell surface components and that the C-terminu is involved in the assembly and/or transport of the protein.

TL;DR: While the administration of SMANCS induces both IFN-γ andIFN-α/β production, in this case, it is only the former which mediates the non-specific resistance to tumors.

TL;DR: Results suggest a possible mechanism of cytotoxic action of protease: alpha 2M receptor-mediated endocytosis of the complex followed by destruction of cellular integrity after regeneration of proteolytic activity.

TL;DR: A highly purified α1-acid glycoprotein (AG) was found to stimulate the growth of cells in culture above 1 μg/ml in a serum-free medium and the presence of other factor(s) besides AG in the heat-denatured supernatant was indicated by YS (Yoshida sarcoma rat) cells which did not respond to AG at all.
