Abstract:
A casting apparatus for receiving electrophoretic gel trays is disclosed. The casting apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart seal elements which are movable with respect to one another to provide one or, more openings of varying size to receive a corresponding gel tray therein. The open ends of the gel tray are sealed by the seal elements so that hot argrose or polyacrylamide gel may be poured into the gel tray for forming a gel layer of predetermined thickness. The seal elements are maintained in sealing engagement with the open ends of the gel trays by means of a rod frictionally engaged between a portion of the housing forming the casting apparatus and one of the seal elements.

Abstract:
Recombinant DNA molecules in which an avian retroviral long terminal repeat (LTR) has been ligated to the bovine growth hormone gene are described herein. The retroviral LTR was derived from a plasmid clone of a Schmidt Rupin strain of Rous Sarcoma Virus while the bovine growth hormone (BGH) gene was derived from a lambda-bacteriophage genomic library. Using a transient eucaryotic expression assay system, the plasmid constructs were screened for their ability to direct expression and secretion of bovine growth hormone. These constructs were co-transformed into a mammalian cell (mouse) culture in order to obtain a stable cell culture secreting large amounts of bovine growth hormone.

Abstract:
Recombinant DNA constructs having an avian retroviral long terminal repeat (LTR) ligated to the bovine growth hormone gene, were co-transformed into a mammalian cell (mouse) culture in order to obtain a stable cell culture secreting large amounts of bovine growth hormone. The transformed mouse cells were encapsulated in hollow fibers and implanted into animals, thereby producing circulating bovine growth hormone.
