ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to isolated or non-natural nucleic acids encoding at least a portion of an avianMagoprotein or a variant thereof. Nucleic acids comprising all or part of theMago nashi-encoding region and/or an untranslated region of aMago nashicDNA are used as probes for hybridizing and detecting nucleic acids encoding all or part of aMagoprotein. Recombinant cells, tissues and animals containing recombinant nucleic acids including expression vectors and encodingMago, antibodies to theMagoproteins, assays utilizing theMagopolypeptide are within the scope of the present invention. Recombinant nucleic acid molecules may contain transcription regulatory sequences, a sequence complementary to a mRNA sequence encoding aMago-related polypeptide and transcriptional control sequences functional in a recipient cell. Oligopeptides having amino acid sequences derived from the avianMagoprotein may be used to induce the formation of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to the chickenMagoprotein.
