Taniai K, Lee J, Lee I
Insect Mol Biol
. 2006 Jun;
15(3):269-79.
PMID: 16756546
We tested 11 Bombyx mori cell lines for induction of cecropin B gene (CecB) expression. After the immune challenge, CecB expression was induced in seven cell lines. A mixture of...

. 2001 Jan;
54(6):281-3.
PMID: 11132922
A 54-year-old woman presented a massive hematochezia 7 days after sigmoidectomy. Repeated colonoscopy and angiography failed to locate the site of bleeding and Hartman's operation was performed. Rebleeding from the...

Taniai K, Tomita S
J Biol Chem
. 2000 May;
275(18):13179-82.
PMID: 10788421
Cecropin B is one of the major antibacterial peptides in the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Transcription of the cecropin B gene (CecB) occurs rapidly after bacterial invasion. Using 235 base pairs...

Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol
. 1999 Jul;
122(4):409-14.
PMID: 10392453
We have isolated a cDNA clone encoding a cecropin D precursor from the fat body of Bombyx mori larvae immunized with bacteria by means of differential display. The cDNA contains...

Insect Mol Biol
. 1999 Feb;
8(1):145-8.
PMID: 9927184
Activation of antibacterial protein genes by various chitin oligomers (from dimer to hexamer) was investigated by Northern blot analysis using cDNAs encoding cecropin B, attacin and lebocin from Bombyx mori...

. 1998 Sep;
255(3):734-8.
PMID: 9738915
An antibacterial protein, designated rhinocerosin, was purified to homogeneity from larvae of the coconut rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros immunized with Escherichia coli. Based on the amino acid sequence of the...

. 1997 Oct;
238(3):769-74.
PMID: 9325165
We screened genomic clones encoding lebocin, an antibacterial peptide from the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Two positive clones were obtained and their nucleotide sequences indicated that they contain no introns. The...
