Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To study the functions of residues gamma326Cys and gamma339Cys in the assembly and/or secretion of fibrinogen, recombinant fibrinogens were synthesized to replicate naturally occurring gamma326Tyr and gamma326Ser variants, along with gamma326Ala and gamma339Ala variants. METHODS: A fibrinogen gamma-chain expression vector was altered and transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Cell lysates...
