Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and organization of the human mitochondrial genome

TL;DR: The complete sequence of the 16,569-base pair human mitochondrial genome is presented and shows extreme economy in that the genes have none or only a few noncoding bases between them, and in many cases the termination codons are not coded in the DNA but are created post-transcriptionally by polyadenylation of the mRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 5 deficiency abolishes eosinophilia, airways hyperreactivity, and lung damage in a mouse asthma model.

TL;DR: Results indicate that IL-5 and eosinophils are central mediators in the pathogenesis of allergic lung disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinant human interleukin 5 is a selective activator of human eosinophil function.

TL;DR: Human rIL-5 was found to selectively stimulate morphological changes and the function of human eosinophils, and is thus a prime candidate for the selective eOSinophilia and eos inophil activation seen in disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-5-Deficient Mice Have a Developmental Defect in CD5+ B-1 Cells and Lack Eosinophilia but Have Normal Antibody and Cytotoxic T Cell Responses

TL;DR: Mice deficient in interleukin-5 (IL-5-/- mice) were generated by gene targeting in embryonal stem cells, indicating that increased eosinophils do not play a significant role in the host defence in this parasite model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular cloning of cDNA for murine interleukin-3.

TL;DR: The predicted amino acid sequence indicates that formation of mature interleukin-3 involves proteolytic removal of not only the signal peptide but additional ammo-terminal amino acids.
