IL12R- β2 is a Type I cytokine receptor and contains the WXXW (WSNWS) sequence that often predicates the post-translational addition of mannose to a tryptophan residue via a carbon-carbon bond. This study will stimulate expression of IL12R- β2 in RAW 264.7 Macrophage-Like Cells by shutting down the extracellular signal kinase (ERK) pathway and introducing inflammatory agents lipopolysaccharide and CpG DNA in order to collect a concentrated sample of IL12R- β2. These samples will be analyzed for the presence of C-mannosyltryptophan residue

A new class of fluorescent dyes, pyridoimidiazolium cations, is being considered for their possible use in the biochemical field because of their interactions with DNA. Binding of low molecular weight fluorophores has been proven to cause a wide variety of biological responses in DNA. The dyes used here have been synthesized using α-diimine type compounds. The reaction used has the capability to produce many fluorescent cations. Binding constants of these compounds in acetonitrile with calf thymus DNA have been determined by measuring emission intensity. Emission intensity showed the degree to which binding is occurring. The experimental results show that binding …
