Indeed, researchers may do well to focus their efforts on those specific cells in which homologous genes are expressed in the mouse.
Other limitations of cDNA microarrays are their difficulty, because of cross-hybridization, in discriminating expression patterns of homologous genes, alternative splice variants and antisense RNAs.
This coverts any individual homologous pair-wise comparison into an estimation of the length of the entire similar segment.
It is noteworthy that immune serum from mice with ovarian autoimmunity reacts specifically with an oocyte-specific protein called MATER [ 24 25 ] . We have subsequently identified the homologous human MATER gene and protein [ 26 ] In ongoing work we are evaluating the value of MATER antibodies as a marker for autoimmune ovarian failure in women.
We have previously determined, using dose-dependent studies, that this concentration is optimal for functions of this chemokine on these embryonic fibroblasts and in processes of granulation tissue formation [ 3 4 ] ). Although chemokine concentrations of 10 -2-10 ng/ml can chemoattract and activate leukocytes, chemokines acting on other cell types such as endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts require concentrations in the range of 10 2ng/ml and higher [ 4 26 27 28 ] . This is within physiological range; for example wound fluid from burn patients contain MGSA (a chemokine that is highly homologous to cCAF) concentrations of 10 2-10 3ng/ml [ 29 ] . Because both the N-terminal and C-terminal peptides of cCAF have been shown to be functional in culture and in vivo (1-4, 30), we also tested these two peptides (Fig.
