Discrepancy protein levels and receptor expression?

I measured the expression of a protein that is a receptor in a panel of cell lines. When I measured the protein levels by Western blot the protein levels were about the same in all cell lines ,...

Can I insert sequence (200bp-800bp) in pUC57 plasmid for PCR and qPCR applications??

I have to PCR assays. I want to prepare positive controls with DNA synthetic. But, I'm not sure use pUC57 plasmid. My PCR product are between 200 -800 bp. What other considerations should I have?

What is the origin of the dots that appear in the SEM pictures of InP or InGaAsP layers after an FIB cut?

I am doing some FIB cuts and analyzing my layer stack. I always see dots in the InP and InGaAsP layers, but I don't know their origin. These dots do not appear when I do a SEM of a cleaved sample,...

Where can I find mean pairwise relatedness coefficients for MULE DEER (Odocoileus hemionus)?

We did a study on a free-ranging population of this species, in which we tested whether spatial associations (2 adult deer within 25 m of each other) varied with several factors such as season,...

Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....

Is CD44 degraded in lysosome together with hyaluronan after CD44 mediated endocytosis of hyaluronic acid?

Also when RHAMM binds hyaluronic acid, they get internalized, will RHAMM also be degraded? Or both CD44 and RHAMM will be transferred back to the cell membrane? Asking for breast cancer cell line...

Do you need the CMV enhancer before the CMV promotor for a proper function of CMV on the gene that follows?

I'm a student and I have to produce a cell line with a knockin for the NRF2 gene with GFP. I have to put a promotor in front of the GFP because the gene will be too far away from the promotor of...
