The CD CD8 CD8 nomenclature was developed and is maintained through the HLDA (Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens) workshop started in 1982. CD45R/B220 CD19 CD19 The goal is to provide standardization of monoclonal antibodies to B Cell CD20 CD22 (B cell activation marker) human antigens across laboratories. To characterize or “workshop” the antibodies, multiple laboratories carry out blind analyses of antibodies. These results independently validate antibody specificity. CD11c CD11c Dendritic Cell CD123 CD123 While the CD nomenclature has been developed for use with human antigens, it is applied to corresponding mouse antigens as well as antigens from other species. However, the mouse and other species NK Cell CD56 CD335 (NKp46) antibodies are not tested by HLDA. Human CD markers were reviewed by the HLDA. New CD markers Stem Cell/ CD34 CD34 were established at the HLDA9 meeting held in Barcelona in 2010.

Through Received 1 February 2013 interactions with their receptors, Plexins and Neuropilins, Semas play critical roles in a Accepted 6 February 2013 continuously growing list of diverse biological systems. In this review, we focus on their function in regulating vascular development. In addition, over the past few years a number of Keywords: findings have shown the crucial role that Semas and their receptors play in the regulation of Semaphorin cancer progression and tumor angiogenesis. In particular, Semas control tumor progression by Plexin directly influencing the behavior of cancer cells or, indirectly, by modulating angiogenesis and Neuropilin the function of other cell types in the tumor microenvironment (i.e., inflammatory cells and Angiogenesis fibroblasts). Some Semas can activate or inhibit tumor progression and angiogenesis, while Cancer others may have the opposite effect depending on specific post-translational modifications. Here Tumor we will also discuss the diverse biological effects of Semas and their receptor complexes on Development cancer progression as well as their impact on the tumor microenvironment. & Vasculature 2013 Elsevier Inc. -

Oestrogen Receptor α AF-1 and AF-2 Domains Have Cell
ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-07175-0 OPEN Oestrogen receptor α AF-1 and AF-2 domains have cell population-specific functions in the mammary epithelium Stéphanie Cagnet1, Dalya Ataca 1, George Sflomos1, Patrick Aouad1, Sonia Schuepbach-Mallepell2, Henry Hugues3, Andrée Krust4, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan1, Valentina Scabia1 & Cathrin Brisken 1 α α 1234567890():,; Oestrogen receptor (ER ) is a transcription factor with ligand-independent and ligand- dependent activation functions (AF)-1 and -2. Oestrogens control postnatal mammary gland development acting on a subset of mammary epithelial cells (MECs), termed sensor cells, which are ERα-positive by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and secrete paracrine factors, which stimulate ERα-negative responder cells. Here we show that deletion of AF-1 or AF-2 blocks pubertal ductal growth and subsequent development because both are required for expres- sion of essential paracrine mediators. Thirty percent of the luminal cells are ERα-negative by IHC but express Esr1 transcripts. This low level ERα expression through AF-2 is essential for cell expansion during puberty and growth-inhibitory during pregnancy. Cell-intrinsic ERα is not required for cell proliferation nor for secretory differentiation but controls transcript levels of cell motility and cell adhesion genes and a stem cell and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) signature identifying ERα as a key regulator of mammary epithelial cell plasticity. 1 Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research, School of Life Sciences, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland. 2 Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, CH-1066 Epalinges, Switzerland. 3 Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, Department of Laboratory Medecine, University Hospital of Lausanne, CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland. -

The Expression of Key Guidance Genes at a Forebrain Axon Turning Point Is Maintained by Distinct Fgfr Isoforms but a Common Downstream Signal Transduction Mechanism
New Research Development The Expression of Key Guidance Genes at a Forebrain Axon Turning Point Is Maintained by Distinct Fgfr Isoforms but a Common Downstream Signal Transduction Mechanism Jung-Lynn Jonathan Yang, Gabriel E. Bertolesi, Stephanie Dueck, Carrie L. Hehr, and Sarah McFarlane https://doi.org/10.1523/ENEURO.0086-19.2019 Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, Hotchkiss Brain Institute, Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N1, Canada Abstract During development the axons of neurons grow toward and locate their synaptic partners to form functional neural circuits. Axons do so by reading a map of guidance cues expressed by surrounding tissues. Guidance cues are expressed at a precise space and time, but how guidance cue expression is regulated, and in a coordinated manner, is poorly understood. Semaphorins (Semas) and Slits are families of molecular ligands that guide axons. We showed previously that fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) signaling maintains sema3a and slit1 forebrain expres- sion in Xenopus laevis, and these two repellents cooperate to guide retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons away from the mid-diencephalon and on towards the optic tectum. Here, we investigate whether there are common features of the regulatory pathways that control the expression of these two guidance cues at this single axon guidance decision point. We isolated the sema3a proximal promoter and confirmed its responsiveness to Fgf signaling. Through misexpression of truncated Fgf receptors (Fgfrs), we found that sema3a forebrain expression is dependent on Fgfr2-4 but not Fgfr1. This is in contrast to slit1, whose expression we showed previously depends on Fgfr1 but not Fgfr2-4. -
