Partial cDNAs coding for each of the three human inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (ITI) heavy chains were expressed in a bacterial plasmid system and rabbits were immunised with the fusion peptides obtained. Despite the strong sequence homology of these chains, the antisera turned out to be highly specific in the analysis of corresponding mRNA translation products or partially digested serum ITI. Besides classical serum ITI members, their use in Western blotting made it possible to evidence an H3-related ITI form and a low-amount H1-related HC/bikunin component. The relative levels of ITI family members was further studied in baboon and foetal calf sera.

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
