Disease relevance of BFL

• In addition, there is some evidence of type IV hypersensitivity in EAA and BFL, together with activation of complement via the alternative pathway (4, 8, 26) [1].
• The effects of airway (AH) and vascular hypoxia (VH) on the production of nitric oxide (NO; VNO) were tested in isolated buffer-perfused (BFL) and blood-perfused rabbit lungs (BLL) [2].

High impact information on BFL

• TIMP-3 promoter gene polymorphisms in BFL [3].
• After extraction with hexane-diethyl ether (70:30, v/v) from plasma, BFL was analysed using a C18 Partisil 10 ODS-3 reversed-phase stainless steel column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1 M ammonium acetate (90:10, v/v) adjusted to pH 4.9 with ultraviolet detection at 335 nm [4].
• Higher physiologic loads produced significant increases in overall deflection from BF to BFL alterations indicating a preference to preserve the posterior ligaments for this surgical approach [5].
• The subjects with BFL were shown not to have an increased incidence of infections, and their response to infection did not differ from subjects having normal white blood cell counts [6].
• This family suggests that the BFL gene product may play an important role in midline neuro-development including the hypothalamo-pituitary axis [7].

Gene context of BFL

• HLA-G expression was studied using antibodies 4H84, G233, 87G, 16G1 and BFL [8].
