Products of cultured neuroglial cells: II. The production of fibronectin by C6 glioma cells
The possibility of fibronectin production by C6 glioma cells was examined with assays which require protein synthesis. Proteins produced by C6 cells using radiolabeled amino acid precursors were tested for affinity to collagen by binding to immobilized gelatin. The predominant collagen binding protein made by C6 coelectrophoresed with fibronectin synthesized by control fibroblasts and with the larger of the two proteins in unlabeled fibronectin when applied to polyacrylamide gels with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). In addition, C6 produced a larger collagen binding protein of approximately 270,000 molecular weight. Solubilities in urea solutions of the collagen-binding proteins made by C6 cells and fibroblasts were similar. Immunofluorescence showed fibronectin associated with the C6 cell monolayer, but less abundant than the fibronectin associated with fibroblasts. Results provide evidence for the production of fibronectin by the C6 glioma cell line.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/45400/1/11064_2004_Article_BF00964399.pd
SCAI publications committee manual of standard operating procedures
Evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice are intended to help health care providers and patients make decisions, minimize inappropriate practice variation, promote effective resource use, improve clinical outcomes, and direct future research. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) has been engaged in the creation and dissemination of clinical guidance documents since the 1990s. These documents are a cornerstone of the society's education, advocacy, and quality improvement initiatives. The publications committee is charged with oversight of SCAI's clinical documents program and has created this manual of standard operating procedures to ensure consistency, methodological rigor, and transparency in the development and endorsement of the society's documents. The manual is intended for use by the publications committee, document writing groups, external collaborators, SCAI representatives, peer reviewers, and anyone seeking information about the SCAI documents program
