Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a silk gland cell separation method suitable for molecular biology research. Background technique
[0002] Bombyx mori silk glands are a pair of tubular glands that synthesize and secrete silk, and are the material basis for cocoon production. Morphologically, they can be clearly divided into three parts: the anterior silk gland, the middle silk gland and the posterior silk gland. The middle silk gland secretes sericin, and the posterior silk gland secretes silk fibroin. By studying the genes, protein composition and function of silk gland cells, it will help to discover functional proteins and functional genes related to the secretion of silk proteins by silk gland cells, understand the mechanism of high-yield silkworm cocoons, and lay the foundation for improving the production capacity of silkworms; Glandular cells are used as a model to study the mechanism of action of eukaryotic gene expression regulation. However, since...
