Application
DNase II from Sigma has been used to treat transformed cells during the purification of β-lactamase. It has also been used for the preparation of adenoma tissue in a study that investigated the effect of somatoprim on growth hormone secretion in human adenoma cell cultures (hSA).
Deoxyribonuclease II from porcine spleen has been used in an immunohistological study of the immune system cells in paraffin-embedded tissues. Deoxyribonuclease II from porcine spleen has also been used in a study to investigate its reassociation with the lysosomal membrane.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The enzyme is a lysosomal acid hydrolase that hydrolyzes DNA to 3′-phosphoryl oligonucleotides in the absence of metal ions, under acidic conditions. It is a non-covalently linked α·β heterodimer of approximately 45,000 Da molecular mass.
Physical form
Contains sodium chloride

The distribution of different cells of the immune system has been studied in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from conventionally reared healthy pigs, using immunohistological techniques. The samples collected were: lungs, tonsils, lymph nodes (mediastinal, mesenteric, inguinal and submandibular), pancreas, spleen, liver

13C-NMR spectroscopy was used to estimate the p K a values for the Tyr(150) (Y150) residue in wild-type and mutant class C beta-lactamases. The tyrosine residues of the wild-type and mutant lactamases were replaced with (13)C-labelled L-tyrosine ([ phenol -4-(13)C]tyrosine)

Horizontal or lateral gene transfer is an effective mechanism for the exchange of genetic information in bacteria allowing bacterial diversification and facilitating adaptation to new environments. Recent data demonstrate that DNA may also be transferred between somatic cells via the
