Abstract

Principal Investigator: Fisher Aron B.a. TITLE OF CORE UNITCORE A: GENE EXPRESSIONName eraCommons Role on Project Affiliation PositionSheldon I. Feinstein, Ph.D. feinsteins Core Director Univ. Penn Sr. Research Invest.ABSTRACT:The purpose of the Gene Expression Core, Core A is to facilitate the study of the genes and gene productsthat are of interest to the projects. All of the proposed projects in this application will examine key proteins insurfactant metabolism. The ability to study these proteins in vitro, in cells and in animals will be critical to theprojects. The Core will provide services, instruments, expertise and assistance to all the projects inaccomplishing these goals. Specifically, the Core will generate recombinant proteins in E. coli, insect cells andthe yeast, Pichia pastoris, perform
