Disease relevance of MCF2

  • The DBL transforming gene was originally identified by transfection of NIH 3T3 cells with DNA from a human B-cell lymphoma [1].
  • Five samples were typed as HTLV-I and four were typed as dual infection by the DBL WB kit [2].
  • DBL had two false-positive interpretations, and CBC had none, rgp21 was the most sensitive antigen in both kits for the weakly reactive HTLV-II samples [2].
  • Novel types of bcr-abl transcript with breakpoints in BCR exon 8 found in Philadelphia positive patients with typical chronic myeloid leukemia retain the sequence encoding for the DBL- and CDC24 homology domains but not the pleckstrin homology one [3].
  • In this report, we used ten different recombinant DBL-alpha fusion proteins expressed in Escherichia coli to generate antibodies in experimental animals [4].
 

Psychiatry related information on MCF2

  • Recording DBL for use in physician decision-making also significantly impacts this problem and should be considered an important part of the ICU database [5].
 

High impact information on MCF2

  • Seventy-seven surface-predicted residues of the Sal-1 DBL domain were substituted with alanine and assayed for erythrocyte binding activity by expression of the mutant proteins on the surface of transiently transfected COS cells [6].
  • The functional effect of alanine substitution varied from nil to complete loss of DBL erythrocyte-binding activity [6].
  • Receptor recognition by P. vivax relies on a cysteine-rich domain, the DBL domain or region II, at the N terminus of the extracellular portion of DBP [6].
  • Both Abr and Bcr have a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) domain similar to those found in other proteins that stimulate GTP hydrolysis by members of the Rho family of GTP-binding proteins, as well as a region of homology with the guanine nucleotide dissociation-stimulating domain of the DBL oncogene product [7].
  • Thus, the DBL oncoprotein is distinct among known transforming gene products [1].
 

Biological context of MCF2

 

Anatomical context of MCF2

  • Analysis of tissue distribution showed that mouse MCF-2 mRNA is expressed in brain, kidney, intestine, and testis [12].
  • DBL/MCF2 peptides that are bound to HLA-A*0201 were identified and recognized by T lymphocytes [13].
  • Analyses of panels of human X rodent somatic cell hybrids demonstrated that the DBL proto-oncogene located on the X chromosome (just proximal or distal to bands q26-27.2) underwent recombination at its 5' and 3' ends with sequences derived from chromosomes 3 (p13q-ter) and 16 (p13-q22), respectively [8].
  • By heterologous expression of domains in COS-7 cells, we found that both var1CSA and var2CSA PfEMP1 variants bound IgM, and in both cases the binding region was a DBL epsilon domain occurring proximal to the membrane [14].
 

Associations of MCF2 with chemical compounds

  • In addition, precipitation of blood group A+H substance by DBL is slightly better inhibited by a blood group A trisaccharide (GalNAc(alpha1-3)[Fuc(alpha1-2)]Gal) containing pentasaccharide, and about 40 times better by the Forssman disaccharide (GalNAc(alpha1-3)GalNAc) than by GalNAc [15].
  • The structures of DBL in complex with adenine and of the dimeric stem and leaf lectin (DB58) from the same plant provide the first structural data on these binding sites [15].
  • The Life-care prefilled 30-mL syringe (Abbott), the DBL 30-mL syringe no [16].
  • The reactivity of HSM-Tn with other lectins (Ricinus communis, RCA1; Dolichol biflorus, DBL; Viscum album, ML-I; Arachis hypogaea, PNA, and Triticum vulgaris, WGA) was weak or negligible [17].
 

Other interactions of MCF2

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MCF2

  • DBL was localized to chromosome Xq27-q28 by in situ hybridization [8].
  • To further investigate the relative importance of conserved and polymorphic residues within this DBL central region, we identified residues critical for receptor recognition by site-directed mutagenesis [6].
  • We evaluated two commercial human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) Western blot (WB; immunoblot) kits, Cambridge Biotech Corp. (CBC) and Diagnostic Biotechnology Ltd. (DBL) [2].
  • 709700 (DBL Inc.) were tested in the Stratofuse PCA infusion pump (Baxter) [16].
  • This paper reports comparative results in detection of HCV antibodies by using GLD HCV-SPOT, ELISA and GLD/DBL HCV BLOT [19].
