An extended surface of binding to Trk tyrosine kinase receptors in NGF and BDNF allows the engineering of a multifunctional pan-neurotrophin.

Ibáñez, C F, Ilag, L L, Murray-Rust, J, Persson, H

Neurotrophin-mediated cell survival and differentiation of vertebrate neurons is caused by ligand-specific binding to the Trk family of tyrosine kinase receptors. However, sites in the neurotrophins...

Modulation of immune responses in newborn and adult mice by interferon.

Strannegård, O, Larsson, I, Lundgren, E, Miörner, H, Persson, H

Interferon was found to have both suppressive and enhancing effects on the antibody response in newborn and adult mice. Evidence was obtained that these effects are primarily evoked during the...

Distinct functions for thyroid hormone receptors alpha and beta in brain development indicated by differential expression of receptor genes.

Forrest, D, Hallböök, F, Persson, H, Vennström, B

Thyroid hormones are essential for correct brain development, and since vertebrates express two thyroid hormone receptor genes (TR alpha and beta), we investigated TR gene expression during chick...

Chimeric molecules with multiple neurotrophic activities reveal structural elements determining the specificities of NGF and BDNF.

Ibáñez, C F, Ebendal, T, Persson, H

Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are two members of a family of neurotrophic factors which show both overlapping and distinct neurotrophic activities. Using...

Viral DNA sequences and gene products in hamster cells transformed by adenovirus type 2.

Johansson, K, Persson, H, Lewis, A M, Pettersson, U, Tibbetts, C, Philipson, L

Complementary strand-specific adenovirus DNA of full length or from endonuclease BamHI fragments was used as a probe to estimate the fractional representation and abundance of viral sequences in five...

Structure-function studies of nerve growth factor: functional importance of highly conserved amino acid residues.

Ibáñez, C F, Hallböök, F, Ebendal, T, Persson, H

Selected amino acid residues in chicken nerve growth factor (NGF) were replaced by site-directed mutagenesis. Mutated NGF sequences were transiently expressed in COS cells and the yield of NGF...

A novel mRNA and a low molecular weight polypeptide encoded in the transforming region of adenovirus DNA.

Katze, M G, Persson, H, Philipson, L

Immunoprecipitation was used to identify adenovirus type 2 (ad2) tumor antigens synthesized in vivo. The antisera, prepared from tumor-bearing animals, reacted with a wide spectrum of ad2 early...

Structure and expression of the chicken beta nerve growth factor gene.

Ebendal, T, Larhammar, D, Persson, H

The 3' exon of the chicken beta nerve growth factor (NGF) gene was isolated by the use of a murine cDNA probe. DNA sequence analysis of the clone suggests a mature chicken NGF protein of 118 amino...

C-myc expression is dissociated from DNA synthesis and cell division in Xenopus oocyte and early embryonic development.

Godeau, F, Persson, H, Gray, H E, Pardee, A B

The combined use of a human c-myc probe and of an antibody raised against the human c-myc gene product demonstrated that the Xenopus cells contained a 2.5-kb c-myc transcript and synthesized a c-myc...

Thyroid hormones in conditions of chronic malnutrition. A study with special reference to cancer cachexia.

Persson, H, Bennegård, K, Lundberg, P A, Svaninger, G, Lundholm, K

Circulating levels of thyroid hormones (T4, free T4, T3) and reverse tri-iodo thyronine (rT3) and thyroid-hormone binding globulin were related to the nutritional state of patients with cancer...

Acetylcholine in adrenergic terminals of the cat iris
