Thyroid hormone receptors(TRs) bind as dimers to specific DNA response elements. We have used a genetic approach to identify amino acid sequences required for dimerization of the TR beta isoform. Bacteria expressing a chimeric repressor composed of the DNA binding domain of the bacteriophage lambda cl repressor fused to the TR beta ligand binding domain are immune to lambda infection as a consequence of homodimerization activity provided by the receptor sequences. 1, record 3, English, - thyroid%20hormone%20receptor

Interferons are a family of naturally occurring small proteins that are produced and secreted by cells in response to viral infection. Alpha and beta interferons are classified type 1 interferons and include more than 25 different molecules. Consensus interferon(CIFN) is a novel, recombinant type 1 interferon containing 166 amino acids. CIFN was derived by scanning the sequences of natural alpha interferons and assigning the most frequently observed amino acid in each corresponding position. CIFN, when compared on an equal mass basis with interferon(IFN) alfa-2 and alpha-2b in in vitro assays, typically displays 5-10 tiems higher biological activity. 1, record 5, English, - Consensus%20Interferon
