The coding sequence of the hispid cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) interleukin-5 (IL-5) was isolated by a combination of reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and RACE protocols from concanavalin A stimulated spleen cells. The open reading frame of 399 bp encodes a polypeptide of 132 amino acids. Comparison with the rat, mouse, gerbil and human counterparts revealed 88, 88, 87 and 75% identity at the nucleotide level and 88, 90, 89 and 70% at the amino acid level, respectively. The entire coding sequence, minus the putative signal peptide sequence, was inserted into an inducible Escherichia coli expression vector. The recombinant protein possessed an expected molecular mass of 14kDa and was located in bacterial inclusion bodies. A purification scheme under reducing and denaturing conditions followed by subsequent successive dialysis steps led to the recovery of a recombinant dimeric cotton rat IL-5. The biological activity of the recombinant protein was demonstrated in a murine cell line proliferation assay. This activity was specifically inhibited by rat monoclonal antibodies directed against mouse IL-5. Together with specific antibodies that can be generated easily, cotton rat IL-5 constitutes a useful tool for extending the use of the cotton rat animal model in the study of various human pathogens.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
