Impaired functioning of pancreatic beta cells is a key hallmark of type 2 diabetes. Beta cell function is modulated by the actions of different classes of heterotrimeric G proteins. The functional consequences of activating specific beta cell G protein signaling pathways in vivo are not well understood at present, primarily due to the fact that beta cell G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are also expressed by many other tissues.

Noroviruses are now recognized as the major cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis in all age groups, and efforts are underway to develop an effective vaccine. The lack of a robust cell culture system for human noroviruses has complicated vaccine development. Hence, norovirus virus like particles (VLPs) have played an important role in the understanding of virus structure, immune response, antigenic diversity, and vaccine design.

Plasmid DNA (clone pNL4-3) that produces infectious HIV-1 virus particles in a wide variety of cells as described in the J Virol. 1986 Aug;59(2):284-91 and developed in the laboratory of Dr. Malcolm Martin at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Plasmid pSJ136-EF-A — A plasmid encoding mutant anthrax toxin proteins such as lethal factor (LF) or edema factor (EF). Anthrax toxin and anthrax toxin fusion proteins may be used as therapeutic agents for cancer.

Plasmid PSJ115-LFOS — A plasmid expressing anthrax toxin proteins such as lethal factor (LF) or edema factor (EF) which has the original n-terminal amino acid sequence.

A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal rat antibody specific to mouse CD25 (IL-2 receptor, alpha chain) (clone 3C7) as described in J Immunol. 1984 Oct;133(4):1970-5 and developed by the laboratory of Dr. Ethan Shevach at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal rat antibody specific to mouse CD25 (IL-2 receptor) (clone 7D4) as described in Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1983 Sep;80(18):5694-8 and developed by the laboratory of Dr. Ethan Shevach at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal hamster antibody specific to mouse CD69 (early activation marker) (clone H1.2F3) as described in J Immunol. 1988 Jul 15;141(2):369-76 and developed by the laboratory of Dr. Ethan Shevach at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal rat antibody specific to mouse Ly-6A/E (Sca-1) (clone D7) as described in J Immunol. 1986 Nov 15;137(10):3240-6 and developed by the laboratory of Dr. Ethan Shevach at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal rat antibody specific to mouse CD90 (Thy-1) (clone G7) as described in J Exp Med. 1984 Mar 1;159(3):716-30 and developed by the laboratory of Dr. Ethan Shevach at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
