The wild-type BW5147 (Thy 1+) cell line and its Thy 1- mutant derivative BW5147 (Thy 1-a) were examined by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy for the presence of T25, the glycoprotein which bears the Thy 1 alloantigen. The wild-type cell had T25 predominantly localized on the cell surface. In the mutant cell line, T25 accumulated intracellularly and was present in a clustered distribution throughout the cytoplasm. T25 was not present on the surface of the mutant cell line in significant amount.

Brillouin spectroscopy was used to probe the viscoelastic properties of a natural gastropod mucus at GHz frequencies over the range -11 °C ≤ ≤ 52 °C. Anomalies in the temperature dependence of mucus longitudinal acoustic mode peak parameters and associated viscoelastic properties at = -2.5 °C, together with the appearance of a peak due to ice at this temperature, suggest that the mucus undergoes a phase transition from a viscous liquid state to one in which liquid mucus and solid ice phases coexist.

Intraovarian growth factors play a vital role in influencing the fate of ovarian follicles. They affect proliferation and apoptosis of granulosa cells (GC) and can influence whether small antral follicles continue their growth or undergo atresia. Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGFα), an oocyte-derived growth factor, is thought to regulate granulosa cell function; yet its investigation has been largely overshadowed by emerging interest in TGF-beta superfamily members, such as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH).

Context: Vitamin D status is usually assessed by serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (t25-OHD). Whether free 25-hydroxyvitamin D measures better correlate with various clinical outcomes is unclear.
Objective: To identify correlations between t25-OHD, calculated and direct measures of free 25-OHD, and to identify associations of these measures with other outcomes in children, across the 6 common GC haplotypes.

Background: The bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) glycoprotein neutralization site 1 (also referred as G protein), is a critical protein responsible for virus infectivity and eliciting immune-protection, however, binding peptides of BEFV G protein are still unclear. Thus, the aim of the present study was to screen specific polypeptides, which bind BEFV G protein with high-affinity and inhibit BEFV replication.
Methods: The purified BEFV G was coated and then reacted with the M13-based Ph.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is characterized by expression of oncogenic ALK fusion proteins due to the translocation t(2;5)(p23;q35) or variants. Although genotypically a T-cell lymphoma, ALK+ ALCL cells frequently show loss of T-cell-specific surface antigens and expression of monocytic markers. C/EBPβ, a transcription factor constitutively overexpressed in ALK+ ALCL cells, has been shown to play an important role in the activation and differentiation of macrophages and is furthermore capable of transdifferentiating B-cell and T-cell progenitors to macrophages in vitro.
