Damn you, Rin...
I seem to remember doing this infernal meme already. Oh well. It's a good 5 minute break, and I'm almost done on the intro to the DNA Extraction Section of Who Gives A Shit?nessTM
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favourite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.
It happens to be an Immunology/Virology PhD thesis. Oh joy.
The hexameric form of rat MBP resembles Clq , and when bound by carbohydrate ligands, has been shown to bind to the Clr2s2 proenzyme complex to initiate activation of the classical pathway without the involvement of Clq (Ota et al., 1990; Lu et al., 1990). Recent studies by Matsushita and Fujita described a novel Clr/Cls-like serine protease designated MASP (MSB-associated serine protease) which is normally complexed with MBP in the serum (Matsushita and Fujita, 1992). Upon binding of MBP-MASP complexes to suitable ligands, the MASP is activated to mediate C1-independent activation of C4, and hence the classical pathway of complement (Matsushita and Fujita, 1992)
Wow. I thought my thesis was shit boring. Then again, this one won the Chancellor's prize so it must have been good.
I tag....no one. Can't be arsed.
Back to it, biatches.
