Article Title: Mice with Calr mutations homologous to human CALR mutations only exhibit mild thrombocytosis
doi: 10.1038/s41408-019-0202-z
Figure Lengend Snippet: a STAT5 transcription activity measured using a luciferase assay. 293T cells were transiently transfected with STAT5-LUC and the CALR WT, CALR del52 mutant, Calr WT, or Calr del19 mutant in the presence of the human thrombopoietin receptor ( MPL ) or murine Mpl . The y -axis indicates the fold induction of luciferase activity compared with WT CALR. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01; NS, not significant vs. WT CALR. The average values for relative luciferase activity generated in three independent experiment are shown. Data are presented as means ± SEM. A two-tailed Student’s t test was used. b Binding of human or murine CALR mutant (FLAG-tagged) to human or murine MPL (Myc-tagged) examined by immunoprecipitation and western blot analysis. Binding between the murine CALR del19 mutant and murine MPL was weakest in comparison with the other three combinations
Article Snippet: Murine Calr WT cDNA (MGC clone 2655918) was purchased from DNAFORM and cloned into the pMCs-IG vector.
