Abstract

Fibronectin (FN) polymorphism is caused by alternative splicing patterns in at least three regions of the primary transcript of a single gene. Using a monoclonal antibody (Mab) specific for an FN segment (ED‐A), that can be included or omitted from the molecule depending on the pattern of splicing, we have examined whether transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β) and dexamethasone, which are both known to increase the level of total FN, regulate the levels of different FN isoforms. We found that, while dexamethasone does not significantly change the ratio between the total FN and the ED‐A containing FN, TGF‐β preferentially increases the expression of the FN isoform containing the ED‐A sequence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
