Cellulolytic microorganisms play an important role in the biosphere by recycling cellulose,
the most abundant carbohydrate produced by plants. Cellulose is a simple polymer, but it …

… Bernheim & JP Aubert: Molecular cloning and chromosomal localization of a novel human
tracheobronchial mucin cDNA containing tandemly repeated sequences of 48 base pairs. …

TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Abstract 2. Introduction 3. 11p15 mucin gene expression is cell-and
tissue-specific 4. Organization of the 11p15 mucin gene cluster 5. Structures of the …

The formation of endospores in bacteria is generally studied in media which do not support
growth: the exhausted growth medium or a solution of mineral salts into which washed …

In recent years considerable advances have been made in our knowledge of the peptide
moiety of human mucins through cDNA cloning. In many diseases disorders in mucin …

The mucus layer covering the gastrointestinal mucosa is considered the first line of defense
against aggressions arising from the luminal content. It is mainly composed of high …

To date five human mucin cDNAs (MUC2, 5A, 5B, 5C and 6) mapped to 11p15.3-15.5, so it
appears that this chromosome region might contain several distinct gene loci for mucins. …

Purpose: Mucins are important biomolecules that frequently display an altered expression
under pathological conditions. In a search for a unique and reliable marker(s) specific for …

Mucin expression was analysed, in relation to cell growth, in parental HT-29 cells and in two
populations of mucus-secreting HT-29 cells selected by adaptation to methotrexate (HT29-…

The 11p15 mucin genes (MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B and MUC6) possess a cell-specific
pattern of expression in normal lung that is altered during carcinogenesis. Growth factors of the …
