In [14], the preferential partner selection in an evolutionary study of a prisoner's dilemma was studied.
CD4+ T cells polarisation into Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg subsets is acquired depending on the tissue cytokine context and is revealed by the activation of specific transcription factors, the expression of several chemokine receptors, a specific cytokine expression profile for each subset, and the activation of preferential partner cells triggering specific immunity [ 56].
HER2 receptor, which is frequently overexpressed in breast cancer, is a preferential partner of EGFR and the formation of EGFR-HER2 heterodimers potentiates EGFR function by increasing EGF binding affinity, stabilizing and recycling the receptor on the membrane, and expanding the repertoire of intracellular signaling responses [ 95].
Furthermore, keratins have their preferential binding partners in vivo and the lack of such partner leads to their rapid degradation (Magin 1998).
Preferential spatial partners were identified within family groups and based on spatial proximity to nearest neighbours.
Individual A's preferential spatial partners were individuals that were the closest to A more frequently than expected by chance (partitioned chi-square goodness-of-fit test, Siegel & Castellan, 1988).
-,,,, Understanding the ultrastructural environment surrounding ICAM-5 immuno-positive structures could shed light on preferential signaling partners for ICAM-5 expressing structures.
Its leading status as a preferential third partner country within FP7 is only contested by the USA.
Results showed that, depending on the environment, a legume could select its preferential rhizobial partner in order to establish symbiosis.
The involvement of NRP1 is not surprising because this receptor is the preferential binding partner of Sema3A [25] [28].
