Although sometimes not visible due to large amounts of protein present on the membranes and long exposure of the films, both endogenous and exogenous AID are usually represented by a double band (Figure 4B); and both proteins of the AID doublet bind equally well to agarose (Figure 4A).
Science
The exogenous AID was produced by transfected Phoenix cells, and the endogenous AID came from mitogen-and IL-4-stimulated spleen cells from BALB/c mice.
Science
In the case of exogenous AID expressed in HeLa cells, the HMM AID bound to agarose, again with part of it not binding (Figure 4A, HeLa HMM); the LMM AID however did not bind at all (Figure 4, HeLa LMM).
Science
On the upside, two AID variants can be distinguished by way of their difference in binding to agarose; endogenous and exogenous AID display the same binding characteristic toward agarose.
Science
More importantly, AID gene dose is indeed limiting for the generation of switched isotypes, as B cells from AID+/− mice have an impaired ability to perform CSR in vitro, in agreement with very recently published results [36], [39] This observation is reinforced by the finding that exogenous AID expression results in an increase of the CSR rate.
Science
For the agarose binding assay in the presence of RNase (only in the case of transfected, exogenous AID), the samples were treated with RNase A (Roche) at concentrations of 0, 1 µg/ml (low), 100 µg/ml (medium), or 1 mg/ml (high) RNase for 1 hour at room temperature before incubation with agarose beads.

We thus systematically performed agarose binding assays with cell lysates containing endogenous or exogenous mouse AID.
Science
We found that, regardless of whether cell lysates containing exogenous or endogenous AID were examined, one of two mouse AID forms bound to agarose alone.
Science
Thus, we focus on organic and non-organic NSs designed to deliver growth factors to burned skin, and scaffolds, dressings, etc. for exogenous stem cells to aid skin regeneration.
7 Since we cannot consider aid as exogenous, testing indirect mechanisms while taking care of the endogeneity between aid and migration, turned highly demanding in terms of excluded restrictions, either by estimating two stage least squares with two endogenous variables (aid and the mechanism, e.g. income) or a system of three equations.
Science
Both exogenous and endogenous mouse AID strongly bound to agarose in the 1st round but not in the 2nd (Figure 1A), even though there was still much AID present (Figure 1A, Supernatant).

Common error
Avoid using "exogenous aid" when the support or resources are generated from within the system being discussed; in such cases, use "endogenous resources" or "internal support" instead.
