Both genomic DNA and cDNA of the feline granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) gene were cloned from CRFK cells. Southern blot analysis showed that the haploid genome contains a single copy of the G-CSF gene. The RT-PCR analysis of several feline cell lines revealed expression of G-CSF mRNA in response to lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Sequence analysis of genomic and cDNA clones indicated that the intron-exon junction structure is conserved between the human and the feline G-CSF genes. The G-CSF coding region encodes a predicted protein of 195 amino acids including a signal sequence of 21 amino acids. The feline G-CSF amino acid sequence shares a high degree of identity with the canine (90.8%), human (87.4%), ovine (83.9%), bovine (82.8%), porcine (80.5%), murine (70.7%) and rat (66.8%) G-CSF. The feline G-CSF expressed in insect cells using recombinant baculovirus vector was biologically active as measured in a proliferation assay using NFS-60 cells and an induction assay of leukocytes in cats.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007438 Introns Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005091 Exons The parts of a transcript of a split GENE remaining after the INTRONS are removed. They are spliced together to become a MESSENGER RNA or other functional RNA. Mini-Exon,Exon,Mini Exon,Mini-Exons
