The basal lamina proteins laminin and type IV collagen possess unique biological activities that play a central role in cell proliferation, cell differentiation and tissue development. These large heterogeneous molecules are composed of three protein chains intertwined to form complex triple-helical structures containing numerous receptor binding domains. BioStratum has developed recombinant methods and clones to produced full length, biologically active, type IV collagen hains and heterotrimer laminin molecules, a major scientific advancement for such large and complex matrix molecules. 1, record 3, English, - laminin

Introduction Tenascin is a large hexameric extracellular matrix molecule with oncofetal properties. During embryonic development the protein is expressed in many parenchymatous organs, where it appears to have a regulating role in epithelial differentiation. In most mature tissues the expression is restricted to the papillary dermis, but reappears in tissue regeneration and repair and in neoplasia. In basal cell carcinoma two forms (Mr 210,000 and 300,000 kDa) of tenascin can be found, in contrast to normal skin and fibroblasts, where one form predominantly exists (Mr 300,000 kDa). 1, record 4, English, - tenascin
