Abstract 要求简洁,连贯 jUDE)~h
The acquisition of metastatic ability by tumor cells is considered a late event in the t^}"8
evolution of malignant tumors. We report that untransformed mouse mammary cells that /O`R9+;
have been engineered to express the inducible oncogenic transgenes MYC and KrasD12, or @jq H8
polyoma middle T, and introduced into the systemic circulation of a mouse can bypass PZ#aq~>w
transformation at the primary site and develop into metastatic pulmonary lesions upon Vy^mEsQC+h
immediate or delayed oncogene induction. Therefore, previously untransformed w2jB6NQX
mammary cells may establish residence in the lung once they have entered the }:[MSUm5
bloodstream and may assume malignant growth upon oncogene activation. Mammary Kzy9i/bL
cells lacking oncogenic transgenes displayed a similar capacity for long-term residence in cVYu(ssC4
the lungs but did not form ectopic tumors. 1lJ^$U
Almost two decades after CFTR was identified as the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis a&dP@)
(CF), we still lack answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of the disease, and it 2/Y e<.#
remains incurable. Mice with a disrupted CFTR gene have greatly facilitated CF studies, {hm-0Q
but the mutant mice do not develop the characteristic manifestations of human CF, ]\]mwvLT
including abnormalities of the pancreas, lung, intestine, liver, and other organs. Because EW3--33s
pigs share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, we generated pigs uaxkGEXr
with a targeted disruption of both CFTR alleles. Newborn pigs lacking CFTR exhibited nA%8

defective chloride transport and developed meconium ileus, exocrine pancreatic &)|f|\yh"
destruction, and focal biliary cirrhosis, replicating abnormalities seen in newborn humans )i\foSbB`V

Variable lymphocyte receptors (VLRs) rather than antibodies play the primary role in f9hH{(A
recognition of antigens in the adaptive immune system of jawless vertebrates. dEo r+5}
Combinatorial assembly of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene segments achieves the @&9<)1F
required repertoire for antigen recognition. We have determined a crystal structure for a $-6[9d-N
VLR-antigen complex, VLR RBC36 in complex with the H-antigen trisaccharide from ,S~A]uH'
human blood type O erythrocytes, at 1.67 angstrom resolution. RBC36 binds the 3wfJ!z-E8
H-trisaccharide on the concave surface of the LRR modules of the solenoid structure c:s[vghH^#
where three key hydrophilic residues, multiple van der Waals interactions, and the highly Jq+@%#G
variable insert of the carboxyl-terminal LRR module determine antigen recognition and q~X}&}UT
specificity. The concave surface assembled from the most highly variable regions of the G {a;s-OA3
LRRs, along with diversity in the sequence and length of the highly variable insert, can u!b0<E
account for the recognition of diverse antigens by VLRs. u
