Blood type (or blood group) is determined, in part, by the ABO blood group antigens present on red blood cells. A blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs).These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system. blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs).
Received July 13, 1990. DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus has be-. come a common reagent in molecular biology because of. its utility in DNA amplification and DNA sequencing. protocols. A simplified method is described here for iso-. lating the recombinant Taq enzyme after overproduc-. tion in Escherichia coli. Purification requires 8 to 10 h. and entails heat treating and clearing the E. coli lysate, followed by precipitation of the enzyme with polyethy-.
Additionally, in E. coli, MBP is known to have significantly enhanced the solubility of many proteins it has been fused to. The pMALâ¢ Protein Fusion and Purification System allows researchers to use E. coli to create a fusion between an expressed target protein and MBP, and purify the fusion protein in a single step. A gene of interest is cloned into a pMAL vector downstream of the malE gene that encodes MBP. The strong Ptac promoter and MBP translation initiation signals control expression of the gene. Upon induction, this system fuses the target protein sequence with a portion of MBP to create a fusion protein that is isolated using amylose affinity chromatography.
