| T1 |
0-159 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CD15 expression in mature granulocytes is determined by alpha 1,3-fucosyltransferase IX, but in promyelocytes and monocytes by alpha 1,3-fucosyltransferase IV. |
| T2 |
160-261 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The CD15 carbohydrate epitope is expressed in mature human neutrophils, monocytes, and promyelocytes. |
| T3 |
262-391 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We aimed to determine the alpha1,3-fucosyltransferase responsible for the expression of CD15 in each subpopulation of leukocytes. |
| T4 |
392-484 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Three alpha1,3-fucosyltransferases, FUT4, FUT7, and FUT9, are expressed in human leukocytes. |
| T5 |
485-655 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We demonstrated that FUT9 exhibits 20-fold stronger activity for CD15 synthesis than FUT4, whereas FUT4 exhibits 4.5-fold stronger activity for CDw65 synthesis than FUT9. |
| T6 |
656-843 |
Sentence |
denotes |
By competitive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, FUT9 was found to be strongly expressed in mature granulocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cell, but not in monocytes. |
| T7 |
844-952 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CD34(+) and CD15(+) cells in cord blood and myeloid cell lines (HL-60 and U937) did not express FUT9 at all. |
| T8 |
953-1126 |
Sentence |
denotes |
FUT4 transcripts were ubiquitously expressed in all blood cells and all cultured cell lines, with HL-60 and U937 cells in particular expressing a number of FUT4 transcripts. |
| T9 |
1127-1271 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Transfection of the FUT9 gene into Jurkat and U937 cells demonstrated that FUT9 has the potential to express CD15 in myeloid and lymphoid cells. |
| T10 |
1272-1431 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These findings suggest that the expression of CD15 in mature granulocytes is directed by FUT9, whereas it is determined in promyelocytes and monocytes by FUT4. |
| T11 |
1432-1589 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Measurement of CD15 synthesizing activity in cell homogenates of each cell population using the polylactosamine acceptor further supported these conclusions. |
