Chapter 16, Problem 1CTQ
Summary Introduction
To illustrate:
How cancer can be both “cause of immune dysfunction” and an “effect of this process”.
Concept introduction:
Cancer is the uncontrolled division or growth of the cells. Due to the uncontrolled division, a mass of cells is formed which is known as tumors. If tumor remains at their original site they are called as a benign tumor and if they migrate to a new site and affect nearby cells they are known as a malignant tumor.

Molecular Biology Question
You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
Molecular Biology
Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.
