Example Sentences:
(1) Based on the previous finding that certain 30-mer single-stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotides (oligonucleotides) having particular 6-mer palindromic sequences could induce interferon-alpha and -gamma, and enhance natural killer activity, the present study was carried out to clarify the entire relationship between the activity and the sequence of 30-mer oligonucleotides.

(4) The thyroid hormone-retinoic acid receptor heterodimer exhibits novel transcriptional properties in that coexpression of both receptors at low levels in Green monkey kidney (CV1) cells results in a positive transcriptional effect on promoters containing a palindromic thyroid hormone response element, but has a surprisingly negative effect on a thyroid hormone response element derived from the alpha myosin heavy chain gene.
(5) Many of these palindromes encode identical oligopeptides on both strands.
