Previous transfection experiments have shown that 162 base pairs (bp) of the 5' flanking sequence of the chicken alpha A-crystallin gene are required for promoter activity in primary chicken lens epithelial cells (PLE), while only 111 bp of the 5' flanking sequence are needed for activity of the mou
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND It was found previously that αB‐crystallin, a small heat‐shock protein, was overexpressed in a metastatic variant of the GI101A human breast carcinoma cell line. The objective of the current study was to determine whether the expression of αB‐crystallin in primary breast
We have used the tobacco thin cell layer 'in vitro' system to evaluate changes in polyamine titers as correlated with root differentiation and with variations in external pH during culture. We show that root differentiation in this system depends on both a rise in putrescine titers and a drop of pH,
