This article provides an overview on activation of T Cells and its dimension. Receptor for Antigenic Peptide and Other Important Cell Surface Molecules on T Cell: Activation of T cell is initiated by interaction of antigenic peptide with T cell receptor (TCR). On entry, a pathogen or an antigen is usually phagocytosed by macrophage or dendritic cells. And a small [...]
Read this article to learn about the basic concepts, technology and applications of proteomics. Basic Concepts of Proteomics: The gene transcripts that an individual can make in a lifetime—termed as transcriptome (by analogy with the term genome)—refers to the haploid set of chromosomes carrying all the functional genes. Similarly, all the proteins made by an organism are now grouped under [...]
This article provides a brief case study on antisense RNA technology. Introduction: In cases where a gene has been identified and assigned a particular phenotype, additional approaches are often required to exactly probe the function of gene. Such hurdles in gene identification and manipulation can be overcome by antisense RNA technology. Many genomic loci contain transcription units on both strands, [...]
