β¦ Synopsis
Site-specific DNA recombination systems have considerable utility in manipulating DNA and can facilitate many cloning and gene transfer techniques. The ability of a number of recombinases to catalyze efficient DNA recombination in higher eukaryotes has important and exciting consequences for precise chromosome and transgene engineering. Exploitation of these recombinases will facilitate the generation of transgenic animal disease models and help elucidate the function of developmental genes.

## Abstract Summary: To explore the function of genes expressed by myelinating cells we have developed a model system that allows for the inducible ablation of predetermined genes in oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. The Cre/loxP recombination system provides the opportunity to generate tissueβsp
Recombinant hirudin variant rHV2-Lys47 was radioiodinated using the chloramine-T method. Depending on the reaction pH, the two tyrosine residues, Tyr3 and Tyr63, responded differently to iodination but without change in total iodination yield. Of the incorporated -125 iodine 80% was located on Tyr3
