Abstract 要求简洁,连贯 Q>V?w gZ
The acquisition of metastatic ability by tumor cells is considered a late event in the 4t*<+H%
evolution of malignant tumors. We report that untransformed mouse mammary cells that Ipg\9*c`
have been engineered to express the inducible oncogenic transgenes MYC and KrasD12, or a0)vvo=bz
polyoma middle T, and introduced into the systemic circulation of a mouse can bypass cS5w +`,L
transformation at the primary site and develop into metastatic pulmonary lesions upon %{Xm5#m
immediate or delayed oncogene induction. Therefore, previously untransformed Od*v5qT;$
mammary cells may establish residence in the lung once they have entered the Qk|( EFQ9
bloodstream and may assume malignant growth upon oncogene activation. Mammary 5#P: "U
cells lacking oncogenic transgenes displayed a similar capacity for long-term residence in .5Q5\qc=

Variable lymphocyte receptors (VLRs) rather than antibodies play the primary role in ;<86P3S
recognition of antigens in the adaptive immune system of jawless vertebrates. B[C7G7<B
Combinatorial assembly of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene segments achieves the :/ ~):tM
