摘要:
Isolated DNA molecules that encode a novel PDGF receptor are disclosed. The receptor binds the AA, AB and BB isoforms of PDGF with high affinity. Cells transfected or transformed with the DNA molecules are also disclosed. The cells can be used within methods for detecting PDGF agonist or antagonist activity in a test compound.
摘要:
A device and method are provided for mapping address bus bits to memory address by using interleaved and non-interleaved modes so that every desired row and column configuration stored in a register file may be supported. Also, the device and method allow a combination of interleaved and non-interleaved memory bank pairs to be used by registering row and column address in a plurality of registers corresponding to interleaved and non-interleaved combinations. In particular, the memory bank pairs which are capable of being interleaved have the interleaved operation performed automatically while the memory bank pairs which cannot be interleaved have the non-interleaved operation performed thereon. As a result, the performance of the memory is enhanced while eliminating the amount of user interface necessary.
摘要:
In a bus system including a bus, a plurality of nodes including a primary node, and a bus access coordinator, bus utilization efficiency is improved by operating the coordinator at the same clock frequency as the primary node. The primary node is the node in the bus system which accesses the bus most frequently. By running the coordinator synchronous with the primary node, the need for synchronization events between the two components is eliminated. Since the primary node accesses the bus most frequently, eliminating synchronization events with the primary node eliminates most of the synchronization events in the bus system. Thus, synchronization events are minimized which, in turn, improves bus utilization efficiency.
摘要:
Biologically active PDGF analogs expressed in eucaryotic cells are disclosed. The analogs are produced by yeast strains transformed with an extrachromosomal element composed of a strong transcriptional promoter directing the expression of a gene which encodes a protein having substantially the same biological activity as PDGF. Suitable genes include the v-sis gene or a derivative of the v-sis gene of simian sarcoma virus or portions thereof, or the human cDNA gene for PDGF or portions thereof. In particular, DNA sequences encoding polypeptides substantially homologous to the B chain of PDGF are preferred. A secretory signal sequence may be provided upstream of the gene, enabling secretion of the gene product from the host cell. Mitogenic activity is one of the biological activities possessed by these PDGF analogs, making them useful in promoting the growth of mammalian cells.
