The clathrin-binding domain of CALM-AF10 alters the phenotype of myeloid neoplasms in mice. [PDF]
The PICALM (CALM) gene, whose product is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, has been identified in two recurring chromosomal translocations, involving either MLL or MLLT10 (AF10). We developed a mouse model of CALM-AF10(+) leukemia to examine the

Transferrin receptors on the human placental microvillous membrane.
A preparation of microvillous membrane vesicles from human placental syncytiotrophoblast binds transferrin to specific transferrin receptors. Transferrin binding to placental receptors is rapid, saturable, reversible, and specific. Approximately 2.5 X 10(

Solid-phase-assisted synthesis of targeting peptide-PEG-oligo(ethane amino)amides for receptor-mediated gene delivery. [PDF]
In the forthcoming era of cancer gene therapy, efforts will be devoted to the development of new efficient and non-toxic gene delivery vectors. In this regard, the use of Fmoc/Boc-protected oligo(ethane amino)acids as building blocks for solid-phase ...

Intact transferrin receptors in human plasma and their relation to erythropoiesis.
Intact transferrin receptor molecules complexed with transferrin were found in human plasma. The concentration of receptors was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay that uses polyclonal antibodies. The mean concentration of 8,279 micrograms/

Two Interconvertible Folds Modulate the Activity of a DNA Aptamer Against Transferrin Receptor
Thanks to their ability to recognize biomolecular targets with high affinity and specificity, nucleic acid aptamers are increasingly investigated as diagnostic and therapeutic tools, particularly when their targets are cell-surface receptors.
