Methods: The PCR productsof TbX2 cDNA were cloned into PUC18 vector andsequenced. The normal and malignant melanocytes wereused to extract total RNA. The expression of Tbx2 genewas detected by RT-PCR. Results: The TbXZ genome iscomposed of seven e-cons and six nitrons. No expressionof Tbx2 gene in the normal melanocytes was noted, butall malignant melanocytes showed expression of TbXZgene. Conclusion: The observation showed the analysisof the genomic structure of mouse TbX2. TbX2 plays acritical role during the development of the malignantmelanophore.展开更多

Methods\ Two oligonucleotide primers were synthesized according to the reported sequence of \%meq\% gene an ideal oncogenic candidate and our previously determined sequence of BamHI L fragment of Marek′s disease herpesvirus (MDV), respectively. Reverse transcriptase PCR(RT PCR) assay was performed by using these primers and the mRNA as a template which was isolated from visceral lymphoblastoid tumors obtained from chickens artificially infected with strain Beijing 1 of oncogenic MDV. Southern blot molecular hybridization was further carried out to detect the product of RT PCR with digoxigenin labeled nucleotide probe from BamHI I2 and L fragment in the gene library of MDV strain GA, respectively. Results\ Two probes could simultaneously hybridize this cDNA amplified by RT PCR with a length of about 730 bp. Conclusion\ It is suggested that \%meq\% transcription could extend from the right hand end of BamHI I2 to the adjacent BamHI L, and the BamHI L region was likely to be transcribed in MDV induced lymphoblastoid tumors.展开更多
