The acquisition of metastatic ability by tumor cells is considered a late event in the ZJ/528Ju
evolution of malignant tumors. We report that untransformed mouse mammary cells that +A3/^C0
have been engineered to express the inducible oncogenic transgenes MYC and KrasD12, or >tM4|w|
polyoma middle T, and introduced into the systemic circulation of a mouse can bypass %N8I'*u
transformation at the primary site and develop into metastatic pulmonary lesions upon b'z
$S+
immediate or delayed oncogene induction. Therefore, previously untransformed S2$E`'
J
mammary cells may establish residence in the lung once they have entered the 7
Lm9I
bloodstream and may assume malignant growth upon oncogene activation. Mammary ]es|%j 2
cells lacking oncogenic transgenes displayed a similar capacity for long-term residence in 'm`O34h
the lungs but did not form ectopic tumors. n`5Nf
Almost two decades after CFTR was identified as the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis 4$Ai!a
(CF), we still lack answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of the disease, and it &f.5:u%{b
remains incurable. Mice with a disrupted CFTR gene have greatly facilitated CF studies, mA(kq
but the mutant mice do not develop the characteristic manifestations of human CF, Id=20og
including abnormalities of the pancreas, lung, intestine, liver, and other organs. Because b<u\THy#
pigs share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, we generated pigs .}dLqw
with a targeted disruption of both CFTR alleles. Newborn pigs lacking CFTR exhibited

defective chloride transport and developed meconium ileus, exocrine pancreatic FWW4n_74

Combinatorial assembly of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene segments achieves the !&U75FpN}:
required repertoire for antigen recognition. We have determined a crystal structure for a 2f(`HSC'
VLR-antigen complex, VLR RBC36 in complex with the H-antigen trisaccharide from ?O25k!7
human blood type O erythrocytes, at 1.67 angstrom resolution. RBC36 binds the S]H[&o1o
H-trisaccharide on the concave surface of the LRR modules of the solenoid structure G]B0LUT6c
where three key hydrophilic residues, multiple van der Waals interactions, and the highly oIrc))j,$
variable insert of the carboxyl-terminal LRR module determine antigen recognition and -l=C7e
specificity. The concave surface assembled from the most highly variable regions of the U#f*
LRRs, along with diversity in the sequence and length of the highly variable insert, can 0hS&4nW
account for the recognition of diverse antigens by VLRs. K E\>T:
