Biochemical evidence of the expression of two major histocompatibility complex class I genes on bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells by Joosten, I., Teale, A.J., Poel, A. van der, Hensen, E.J.

“…Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) used were directed against either human class I monomorphic determinants (W6/32 and B1.1G6) or bovine polymorphic determinants expressed on products encoded by serologically defined w10 encoding haplotypes of Boran and Friesian cattle. Sequential immunoprecipitations with W6/32 and B1.1G6 using lysates of PBMC of British Friesian cattle, revealed that from this haplotype W6/32 precipitated one product, whereas B1.1G6 precipitated two products. …”

Climate change and forest genetic resources - state of knowledge, risks, and opportunities by Loo J, Fady, B., Dawson, I., Vinceti, B., Baldinelli, G.

“…Lack of information on the following hinders our ability to manage climate change impacts better: (1) little is known about the sequences and functions of the genes conferring adaptation; (2) the genetic and epigenetic basis of phenotypic plasticity and its role in producing responses to environmental alterations is unclear; (3) the basic life-history characteristics, ecological determinants and geographic distributions of many trees are not well studied; and (4) meaningful syntheses of such information into predictive models of change and response are poorly developed.…”
