High impact information on AMCF-II

  • The second peptide, AMCF-II, was active at 1.4 x 10(-9) M for porcine neutrophils, but it was less active for human polymorphonuclear neutrophils than was AMCF-I [1].
  • Specific oligonucleotide probes for AMCF-I and AMCF-II were amplified from the porcine AM cDNA library by the polymerase chain reaction using degenerate oligonucleotide primer pairs derived from the N-terminal amino acid sequences of the proteins [2].
  • AMCF-II may represent a new member of the intercrine-alpha family of neutrophil chemoattractants.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[2]
  • These probes were used to isolate 2 full-length cDNAs of 1466 (AMCF-I) and 1515 (AMCF-II) base pairs [2].
