The membrane-associated (M-FBP) and soluble (S-FBP) forms of human folate binding proteins (FBP) have been well characterized. Although related in a precursor-product manner, the mechanism of conversion and the basis for differences between M-FBP and S-FBP are not known. The conversion of M-FBP to S-FBP in crude human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (KB) cell preparations is demonstrated based on char...

Multimodal emotion recognition is a challenging task in computing as it quite difficult to extract discriminative features identify the subtle differences human emotions with abstract concept and multiple expressions. Moreover, how fully utilize both audio visual information still an open problem. In this paper, we propose novel multimodal fusion attention network for audio-visual based on adap...

The far upstream element (FUSE) of the human c-myc proto-oncogene stimulates expression in undifferentiated cells. A FUSE-binding protein (FBP) is present in undifferentiated but not differentiated cells. Peptide sequences from the purified protein allowed cloning of cDNAs encoding FBP. Expression of FBP mRNA declined upon differentiation, suggesting transcriptional regulation of FBP. Features ...

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based biosensors generate real-time binding data and is therefore well suited to analyse binding kinetics of two interacting molecules as well as for concentration measurements. Folate-binding protein (FBP) is present in, among others, milk and may affect intestinal absorption of folate. The objectives of this work were to investigate both the occurrence of bovin...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the image quality (IQ) is improved with iterative reconstruction in image space (IRIS), and whether IRIS can be used for radiation reduction in chest CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Standard dose chest CT (SDCT) in 50 patients and low dose chest CT (LDCT) in another 50 patients were performed, using a dual-source CT, with 120 kVp and same reference mAs (50 mAs for SDC...

A RIA was developed for porcine intrauterine folate binding protein (FBP). Displacement of [125I]FBP caused by increasing dilutions of uterine flushings collected from either d-15 pregnant or nonpregnant gilts or media from culture of endometrial tissue from d-15 pregnant or nonpregnant gilts was parallel to the displacement caused by the standard curve. Addition of known amounts of purified al...

conclusion safire reconstruction provided better coronary image quality and displayed the number, morphology, and surrounding lumen of calcium plaques more accurately than traditional fbp reconstruction, with safire3 achieving the best results. results the subjective ratings of image quality using safire1–safire5 reconstructions were significantly higher than those using fbp, with safire3 achie...

BACKGROUND Femoral bowing plane (FBP) is the unattended subject in the literature. More over the femoral shaft with its bowing is neglected in established anteversion determination methods. There is limited information about the relationship between FBP and anteversion. Thus we focused on this subject and hypothesized that there could be an adaptation of FBP to anteversion. MATERIALS AND METH...

The glycoprotein gp38 is overexpressed in 90% of ovarian carcinomas and recognized by monoclonal antibodies MOv18 and MOv19. This molecule is a high affinity folate binding protein (FBP) and a potential marker for ovarian carcinoma. We have developed a model to investigate the biochemical and biological properties of this folate receptor by transfecting NIH/3T3 cells, which do not endogenously ...

We studied the effect of serum folate-binding protein (FBP) on folate radioassays and the relationship of the serum level of unsaturated FBP to the serum folate level in various clinical states. Our modification of a heat-extracted radioassay was compared to a whole serum radioassay. Our results confirmed the existence of elevated serum levels of unsaturated FBP in some normal subjects, in some...
