The current challenges are to understand how specific hormone/growth factor interactions regulate BMP expression in the fundamental ovary cell types, and how these interactions are integrated into the morphological and histological events that generate the estrous cycle.
Participation of both DEK and NF-Y in the DQA1 Y-box binding complex was confirmed by using high-titer anti-DEK antiserum (gift of W Szer [ 9 ] ) and monoclonal antibody to the NF-YA subunit of the Y-box binding factor (gift of JP-Y Ting) to further retard the mobility of the DQA1 Y-box binding complex ('supershifting') (Fig.
CMV has been associated with the increased production of rheumatoid factor, antiphospholipid antibodies, cold agglutinins, antimyosin antibodies, anti-endothelial cell antibodies, and antiganglioside antibodies.
Another transcription factor that is involved in regulation of the c-fos SRE is CCAAT/Enhancer binding protein-beta (C/EBPβ).
The molecular signals required for osteoclastogenesis have recently been elucidated [ 1 4 5 ] . Receptor-activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL), a tumor necrosis factor superfamily ligand expressed by stromal cells, osteoblasts, and activated T cells, binds to its cognate receptor-activator of NFκB (RANK) receptor on macrophages/monocytes, inducing a signal that gradually transforms the macrophages into osteoclasts over a period of several days [ 6 7 ] . While this interaction occurs largely in the bone microenvironment, it has been shown that monocytes from the spleen, peripheral blood, and synovium are all capable of RANKL-dependent osteoclast formation [ 8 ] . Convincing evidence has been generated indicating that the RANK-RANKL interaction is absolutely required for osteoclastogenesis [ 7 ] ; in the absence of these molecules, osteoclastogenesis cannot occur [ 9 ] .
