This file is based on checkout of our SVN repository revision $Revision: 204$ https://github.com/obi-bcgo/bcgo Chris Stoeckert Emily Greenfest-Allen The ontology is built based on OBI release 2015-04-13 Elisabetta Manduchi Jie Zheng preceded by An example is: translation preceded_by transcription; aging preceded_by development (not however death preceded_by aging). Where derives_from links classes of continuants, preceded_by links classes of processes. Clearly, however, these two relations are not independent of each other. Thus if cells of type C1 derive_from cells of type C, then any cell division involving an instance of C1 in a given lineage is preceded_by cellular processes involving an instance of C. The assertion P preceded_by P1 tells us something about Ps in general: that is, it tells us something about what happened earlier, given what we know about what happened later. Thus it does not provide information pointing in the opposite direction, concerning instances of P1 in general; that is, that each is such as to be succeeded by some instance of P. Note that an assertion to the effect that P preceded_by P1 is rather weak; it tells us little about the relations between the underlying instances in virtue of which the preceded_by relation obtains. Typically we will be interested in stronger relations, for example in the relation immediately_preceded_by, or in relations which combine preceded_by with a condition to the effect that the corresponding instances of P and P1 share participants, or that their participants are connected by relations of derivation, or (as a first step along the road to a treatment of causality) that the one process in some way affects (for example, initiates or regulates) the other. http://www.obofoundry.org/ro/#OBO_REL:preceded_by is preceded by preceded by preceded_by precedes precedes BFO OWL specification label BFO OWL specification label Really of interest to developers only Relates an entity in the ontology to the name of the variable that is used to represent it in the code that generates the BFO OWL file from the lispy specification.

Can be augmented with colloquial definitions' is terrible. Can you fix to something like: A statement of necessary and sufficient conditions explaining the meaning of an expression referring to a class or property. Alan Ruttenberg Your proposed definition is a reasonable candidate, except that it is very common that necessary and sufficient conditions are not given. Mostly they are necessary, occasionally they are necessary and sufficient or just sufficient. Often they use terms that are not themselves defined and so they effectively can't be evaluated by those criteria. On the specifics of the proposed definition: We don't have definitions of 'meaning' or 'expression' or 'property'. For 'reference' in the intended sense I think we use the term 'denotation'. For 'expression', I think we you mean symbol, or identifier. For 'meaning' it differs for class and property. For class we want documentation that let's the intended reader determine whether an entity is instance of the class, or not. For property we want documentation that let's the intended reader determine, given a pair of potential relata, whether the assertion that the relation holds is true. The 'intended reader' part suggests that we also specify who, we expect, would be able to understand the definition, and also generalizes over human and computer reader to include textual and logical definition. Personally, I am more comfortable weakening definition to documentation, with instructions as to what is desirable. We also have the outstanding issue of how to aim different definitions to different audiences. A clinical audience reading chebi wants a different sort of definition documentation/definition from a chemistry trained audience, and similarly there is a need for a definition that is adequate for an ontologist to work with.

Following discussion with Jonathan Rees, and introduction of "mentions" relation. Weaken the is_about relationship to be primitive. We will try to build it back up by elaborating the various subproperties that are more precisely defined. Some currently missing phenomena that should be considered "about" are predications - "The only person who knows the answer is sitting beside me" , Allegory, Satire, and other literary forms that can be topical without explicitly mentioning the topic.

Old definition said the following to emphasize the generic nature of this relation. We no longer have 'specifically denotes', which would have been primitive, so make this relation primitive. g denotes r =def r is a portion of reality there is some c that is a concretization of g every c that is a concretization of g specifically denotes r A person's name denotes the person. A variable name in a computer program denotes some piece of memory. Lexically equivalent strings can denote different things, for instance "Alan" can denote different people. In each case of use, there is a case of the denotation relation obtaining, between "Alan" and the person that is being named. Conversations with Barry Smith, Werner Ceusters, Bjoern Peters, Michel Dumontier, Melanie Courtot, James Malone, Bill Hogan denotes denotes is a primitive, instance-level, relation obtaining between an information content entity and some portion of reality. Denotation is what happens when someone creates an information content entity E in order to specifically refer to something. The only relation between E and the thing is that E can be used to 'pick out' the thing. This relation connects those two together. Freedictionary.com sense 3: To signify directly; refer to specifically person:Alan Ruttenberg is quality measurement of 8/6/2009 Alan Ruttenberg: The strategy is to be rather specific with this relationship. There are other kinds of measurements that are not of qualities, such as those that measure time. We will add these as separate properties for the moment and see about generalizing later Alan Ruttenberg From the second IAO workshop [Alan Ruttenberg 8/6/2009: not completely current, though bringing in comparison is probably important] This one is the one we are struggling with at the moment. The issue is what a measurement measures. On the one hand saying that it measures the quality would include it "measuring" the bearer = referring to the bearer in the measurement. However this makes comparisons of two different things not possible. On the other hand not having it inhere in the bearer, on the face of it, breaks the audit trail. Werner suggests a solution based on "Magnitudes" a proposal for which we are awaiting details. -- From the second IAO workshop, various comments, [commented on by Alan Ruttenberg 8/6/2009] unit of measure is a quality, e.g. the length of a ruler. [We decided to hedge on what units of measure are, instead talking about measurement unit labels, which are the information content entities that are about whatever measurement units are. For IAO we need that information entity in any case. See the term measurement unit label] [Some struggling with the various subflavors of is_about. We subsequently removed the relation represents, and describes until and only when we have a better theory] a represents b means either a denotes b or a describes describe: a describes b means a is about b and a allows an inference of at least one quality of b We have had a long discussion about denotes versus describes. From the second IAO workshop: An attempt at tieing the quality to the measurement datum more carefully. a is a magnitude means a is a determinate quality particular inhering in some bearer b existing at a time t that can be represented/denoted by an information content entity e that has parts denoting a unit of measure, a number, and b. The unit of measure is an instance of the determinable quality. From the second meeting on IAO: An attempt at defining assay using Barry's "reliability" wording assay: process and has_input some material entity and has_output some information content entity and which is such that instances of this process type reliably generate outputs that describes the input. This one is the one we are struggling with at the moment. The issue is what a measurement measures. On the one hand saying that it measures the quality would include it "measuring" the bearer = referring to the bearer in the measurement.

The plan is a realizable entity (a specifically dependent continuant) that concretizes the protocol (a generically dependent continuant), and both depend on the investigator (an independent continuant). The plan is then realized by the assay (a process). concretizes A journal article is an information artifact that inheres in some number of printed journals. For each copy of the printed journal there is some quality that carries the journal article, such as a pattern of ink.

Following we can use this relation to define a further instance-level location relation - not between a continuant and the region which it exactly occupies, but rather between one continuant and another. c is located in c1, in this sense, whenever the spatial region occupied by c is part_of the spatial region occupied by c1. Note that this relation comprehends both the relation of exact location between one continuant and another which obtains when r and r1 are identical (for example, when a portion of fluid exactly fills a cavity), as well as those sorts of inexact location relations which obtain, for example, between brain and head or between ovum and uterus Most location relations will only hold at certain times, but this is difficult to specify in OWL.

This line of mice provides a model for Persistant Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia of Infancy, or PHHI-GK, a rare genetic disease of humans. A gk{A456V} mutation, originally identified in a human pedigree with PHHI-GK, was introduced into these mice by gene knock-in. These mice may be useful for studies of sustained hypoglycemia. The mutation has been bred into a C57BL/6J strain thereby facilitating direct comparisons to both wild type C57BL/6J animals and to animals with a gk{K414E} mutation. Gck{tm3Mgn} Person: Mark A.

This line of mice contains a gk{K414E} point mutation that was introduced by gene knock-in. This point mutation wasidentified in aMODY-GK pedigree. These mice will be useful for studies of sustained hyperglycemia since they contain only a single mutation and are congenic with the C57BL/6J strain. Gck{tm2Mgn} Person: Mark A.

Gk{lox} mice may be used to generate cell specific knock-outs of glucokinase, depending which cre-expressing transgenic mouse is used. In humans, glucokinase gene mutations cause maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY-GK), a disease that is characterized by early onset and persistent hyperglycemia. Thus, these mice are useful in determining how diminished experssion of glucokinase in specific cells causes hyperglycemia. Gck{tm1.1Mgn} Person: Mark A. Magnuson, Jill Lindner, Jean-Philippe Cartailler Vanderbilt University Medical Center pck{tm1.1Mgn} mouse strain A mouse strain in which the targeted gene, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (NCBI Gene ID: 18534), has been modified (allele type: Conditional Null) to targeted mutation 1.1, Mark A Magnuson (MGI ID: Pck1{tm1.1Mgn} ). These mice may be used to study tissue-specific functions of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck1). This enzyme is essential for gluconeogenesis and also is important for regulating anapleurosis/catapleurosis of TCA cycle intermediates. By generating mice that are homozygous for the pck{lox} allele and that contain a tissue-specific Cre transgene, Pck1 can be deleted from various sites. Person: Mark A.

Rictor is an essential part of mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2). mTORC2 phosphorylates Ser473 of Akt/PKB. Eliminating this gene disrupts the function of mTORC2, thereby preventing growth factor mediated activation of Akt/PKB. Thus, these mice have utility for studying both the sites of expression and function of rictor. Person: Mark A.

These mice carrya conditional allele for Rictor, a component mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2). Disruption of the Rictor gene attenuates phosphorylation ofSer473 of Akt/PKB, which is important for a normal response to growth factor stimulation acting through the PI3-kinase signaling pathway.

A transgenic mouse expression tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase under rat insulin promoter. Upon the injection of tamoxifen, loxP-flanked DNA sequences in beta cells will be deleted. Person: Mark A. Magnuson, Jill Lindner, Jean-Philippe Cartailler Tg(RIP-Cre/ESR1){Ydor} Vanderbilt University Medical Center Ptf1a{tm1(tTAoff)Macd} mouse strain A mouse strain in which part or all of the targeted gene, pancreas specific transcription factor, 1a (NCBI Gene ID: 19213) is replaced to create Ptf1a{tTA} using the Loxed Cassette Acceptor allele Ptf1a{tm1(LCA)}). Mice heterozygous for the tTA replacement of the Ptf1a gene are viable, fertile, of normal size, and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. The replacement places the expression of tTAoff (Gossen &amp; Bujard, PNAS 89:5547, 1992) under the control of the regulatory sequences of the endogenous Ptf1a gene. This mouse was initially designed to be mated to a mouse (see BCBC #M461) bearing a bicistronic Ptf1a-lacZ transgene driven by the tetracycline-regulatory element (TRE: 7 copies of tetO with the CMV minimal promoter). For offspring homozygous for the tTA allele of Ptf1a and hemi- or homozygous for the transgene, the production of PTF1a is due solely to tTA-activation of the transgene, which is repressed by administration of tetracycline/doxycycline. This strategy allows embryonic developmental arrest at desired stages or cessation of gene function in adult mice for the pancreas (similar to that for Pdx1 described in Holland et al., PNAS 99:12236, 2002) and also for the cerebellum, retina, dorsal spinal cord and possibly hypothalamus. This transgenic mouse may be useful in studies of pancreatic endocrine/exocrine development and function, diabetes, and certain defects of the CNS. This tissue-specific expresser of tTA can also be bred with strains bearing other TRE-transgenes for organ-specific conditional expression analyses. Nearly all of the Ptf1a transcription unit has been replaced by a tTAoff coding sequence with accessory translational and RNA-processing signals, as follows, from 5' to 3': the Ptf1a gene transcriptional start and 49-bp of its 5'UTR; the Xenopus laevis beta-globin 5'UTR with Kozak initiator codon; the tTA coding sequence; and a 990-bp rabbit beta-globin gene fragment encoding the last 14-bp of its second exon, the 573-bp second intron, and the 364-bp last exon including a 98-bp 3'UTR with the polyA addition signal and addition site, and 39-bp of 3' beta-globin gene flanking sequence. The Ptf1a locus was modified by recombination-mediated cassette exchange using the cassette exchange allele in Ptf1a-LCA ES cells (Burlison et al., submitted). Person: Mark A.

The NOD-Rag1{null} Prf1{null} Ins2{Akita} mouse is the first immunodeficient, spontaneously hyperglycemic mouse strain described that is based on the Ins2{Akita} mutation. This strain is suitable as hosts for human islet and human beta stem and progenitor cell transplantation in the absence of the need for pharmacological induction of diabetes. This strain of mice also has low levels of innate immunity and can be engrafted with a human immune system for the study of human islet allograft rejection.

Backcrossing of the Rag1 null allele onto the NOD/Lt strain background (NOD-Rag1{null} mice) provided a radio-resistant and longer-lived model for human-cell engraftment. Mutations in X-chromosome-linked Il2rg gene cause X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID).

A targeting construct was designed to insert an IRES-EYFP and a floxed puro downstream of the coding sequence. Crossing with mice expressing Cre in the germ line excised the puromycin resistance gene. Coding region for Ngn3 is kept intact consequentely homozygous mice express Ngn3 protein , do not develop diabetes and behave like wild-types. in these mice, Ngn3-positive progenitors express EYFP and can be purified by FACS. Neurog3{tm1Ggr} Person: Mark A. Magnuson, Jill Lindner, Jean-Philippe Cartailler Vanderbilt University Medical Center Tg(tetO-Ptf1a,lacZ)Macd mouse strain A mouse strain containing a transgene in which bicistronic Ptf1a-lacZ (transgene) is driven by the TRE promoter (NCBI Gene ID: ). Mice hemi- or homozygous for the transgene are viable, fertile, normal size, and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. Expression of the bicistronic transgene is directed by a heptameric tetO repeat linked to the CMV minimal promoter (collectively the tetracycline-response element). The mice do not express lacZ until a tetracycline-gransactivator (tTA) protein is produced; thereafter Ptf1a and lacZ genes are highly expressed. This mouse was designed to be mated to an apancreatic targeted mutant with tTAoff in place of the Ptf1a coding sequence (see BCBC strain M321). The combined genetic alterations provide normal pancreatic development and function until doxycycline-administration render the mice conditionally null of Ptf1a. This approach allows embryonic developmental arrest at desired stages or cessation of gene function in adult mice for the pancreas, cerebellum, retina, dorsal spinal cord and possibly hypothalamus. This transgenic mouse may be useful in studies of pancreatic endocrine/exocrine development and function, diabetes, and and certain defects of the CNS. This transgenic can also be bred with other tTA strains for conditional mutation analysis. Person: Mark A. Magnuson, Jill Lindner, Jean-Philippe Cartailler Tg(tetO-Ptf1a,lacZ)Macd Vanderbilt University Medical Center Ptf1a{tm2(W298A)Macd} mouse strain A mouse strain in which part or all of the targeted gene, pancreas specific transcription factor, 1a (NCBI Gene ID: 19213) is replaced to create Ptf1a{tm2(W298A)} using the Loxed Cassette Acceptor allele Ptf1a{tm1(LCA)}). This mouse strain has a 2-bp site-directed mutation in the endogenous Ptf1a locus that changes codon 298 from tryptophan to alanine. The mutation disrupts the ability of the PTF1a protein to bind RBPJ. Mice heterozygous for the mutation are viable, fertile, of normal size, and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. Mice homozygous for the mutation phenocopy the homozygous Ptf1a-null. Newborn homozygotes are apancreatic, devoid of the dI4 and dILA GABAergic dorsal interneurons, have an incomplete cerebellum, and die shortly after birth. Person: Mark A. Magnuson, Jill Lindner, Jean-Philippe Cartailler Ptf1a{tm2(W298A)Macd} Vanderbilt University Medical Center Rbpjl{tm1(lacZ)Macd} mouse strain A mouse strain in which the targeted gene, Recombination signal binding protein for immunoglobulin kappa J region-like (NCBI Gene ID: 19668), has been modified (allele type: Global Mutation) to Rbpjl{tm1Macd} (MGI ID: Rbpjl{tm1(lacZ)}). This mouse strain has the Rbpjl gene region spanning exons 7, 8, and 9 replaced with lacZ in-frame. A pgk-neo resistance cassette has been removed by Cre-loxP deletion from the founder. Mice heterozygous and homozygous for the lacZ replacement are viable, fertile, of normal size, and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. In mature mice, the pancreas is one-third smaller than normal, due to less acinar tissue. Expression of the lacZ, measured by bet-galactosidase histostaining is very low. Person: Mark A. Magnuson, Jill Lindner, Jean-Philippe Cartailler Rbpjl{tm1(lacZ)Macd} Vanderbilt University Medical Center STOCK Pdx1{tm1Macd}/J mouse strain A mouse strain in which the targeted gene, Pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (NCBI Gene ID: 18609), has been modified (allele type: Gene Replacement) to targeted mutation 1 (MGI ID: Pdx1{tmd1Macd}). Mice homozygous for the targeted mutation fail to develop a pancreas. Heterozygous mice have normal pancreatic development, but have partially impaired glucose tolerance in adulthood. The substitution of the targeted Ipf1/Pdx1 gene with tTAoff inactivates the endogenous allele and places tTAoff expression under the control of the endogenous transcriptional regulatory sequences of the Pdx1 locus. Identical to the endogenous allele, mutant locus expression is detectable in the pancreas and adjacent duodenum but not in other visceral organs or salivary glands. This mutant may be useful to direct tetracycline-regulated expression of responder transgenes in studies of pancreatic endocrine/exocrine development and function and diabetes. This mutant can also be bred with other tetO/TRE strains for pancreas-specific applications. This mutant was originally designed to be mated with mice engineered with a heptameric tetracycline operator (tetO)-controlled bicistronic transgene coding for a normal PDX1 protein and with a beta-galactosidase or EGFP reporter (see BCBC mouse M561). The combined modifications allow normal pancreatic development and function until doxycycline-administration renders the mouse conditionally null of the Pdx1 gene. This configuration for conditional expression of Pdx1is most effective when the transgene locus is homozygous. This allows embryonic developmental arrest at desired stages or cessation of function in adult mice by tetracycline administration. Person: Mark A. Magnuson, Jill Lindner, Jean-Philippe Cartailler STOCK Pdx1{tm1Macd}/J Vanderbilt University Medical Center STOCK Tg(tetO-Pdx1,lacZ)958.1Macd mouse strain A mouse strain containing a transgene in which bicistronic Pdx1-lacZ (transgene) is driven by the TRE promoter (NCBI Gene ID: ). Mice hemizygous and homozygous for the transgenic insert are viable, fertile, of normal size, and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. Expression of the bicistronic transgene is directed by a heptameric tetO repeat fused to a minimal promoter (collectively the tetracycline-response element, or TRE). Transgenic mice do not express lacZ until a tetracycline-transactivator (tTA) protein is introduced; thereafter Pdx1 and lacZ from the transgene are expressed. All cells expressing transgenic Pdx1 coexpress the reporter. Further, mRNA levels of the transgene and endogenous Pdx1 fluctuate in concert during development. This mouse was originally designed to be mated to an apancreatic targeted mutant with the coding sequence of the Pdx1 locus replaced with that for tTAoff (see BCBC #M541). The combined mutations allow normal pancreatic development and function until doxycycline treatments render the mouse conditionally null of the endogenous gene. For this configuration, rescue of pancreatic development is most effective when the transgene locus is homozygous. This allows embryonic developmental arrest at desired stages or cessation of function in adult mice by administration of tetracycline/doxycycline. This transgenic strain may be useful in studies of pancreatic development and endocrine/exocrine function and diabetes. This strain can also be bred with other tTA strains for regulating Pdx1 expression in other contexts. Person: Mark A.

Magnuson, Jill Lindner, Jean-Philippe Cartailler Vanderbilt University Medical Center Mafa{tm1.1Rwst} mouse strain A mouse strain in which the targeted gene, v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene family, protein A (avian) (NCBI Gene ID: 378435), has been modified (allele type: Conditional Null) to targeted mutation 1.1 (MGI ID: Mafa{tm1.1(lox)}). Mafa is a basic leucine-zipper containing member of the large Maf transcription factor family.It is part of the RIPE3b1 activator complex and functions as a key activator of insulin and pdx-1 gene transcription. Mafa{lox} mice may be used to generate both global and cell-specific Mafa null mice, depending on which cre-expressing transgenic mouse is used. Removal of Mafa gene might have a profound effect on beta cell function; thus we can closely monitor the expression of islet hormones, transcription functions and the glucose sensing machinery immunohistochemically. The experiment will provide us with the information about the role of Mafa plays in vivo in islet beta cells and the developing pancreas, thus helping us to understand how transcription activator contribute to the pathogenesis and the treatment of diabetes.

Magnuson, Jill Lindner, Jean-Philippe Cartailler Vanderbilt University Medical Center FVB/NJ-Tg(MIP-Luc-VU)3Pwrs/J mouse strain A mouse strain containing a transgene in which Luc (transgene) is driven by the MIP promoter (NCBI Gene ID: 16333). We generated a transgenic mouse expressing the luciferase optical reporter under control of the mouse insulin I promoter (MIP-Luc-VU) and characterized this model in mice with increased or decreased beta-cell mass and after islet transplantation. MIP-Luc-VU mice emitted strong and consistent bioluminescence emanating exclusively from beta-cells of the pancreatic islet. MIP-Luc-VU islets had normal islet architecture and secreted insulin normally in vivo and in vitro. By tracking changes in &beta; cell mass using bioluminescence imaging (BLI) and post-mortem metrics, streptozotocin-induced, diabetic MIP-Luc-VU mice had a progressive decline in bioluminescence that correlated with a decrease in pancreatic insulin content and beta-cell mass. MIP-Luc-VU animals fed a high fat diet displayed a progressive increase in bioluminescence that reflected an immunohistochemically verified increase in beta-cell mass. MIP-Luc-VU islets transplanted beneath the renal capsule or into the liver emitted bioluminescence proportional to the number of islets transplanted and graft insulin content and could be imaged for more than a year. Since bioluminescence in the MIP-Luc-VU mouse model is proportional to beta-cell mass in the setting of increased and decreased beta-cell mass and after transplantation, this approach should be useful for non-invasively assessing beta-cell mass in pre-clinical mouse models of glucose homeostasis, beta-cell growth and regeneration, and diabetes.

This strain expresses both mutant cyclin D1{T286A} and a cherry reporter under the regulation of a tetracycline-responsive bi-directional minimal CMV promoter (TRE-Tight; tetO). The cyclin D1-T286A mutant cannot be phosphorylated by GSK-3beta and is resistant to polyubiquitination. Therefore, cyclin D1-T286A remains nuclear throughout the cell cycle and has an extended half-life relative to wild-type cyclin D1.

Backcrossing of the Rag1 null allele onto the NOD/Lt strain background (NOD-Rag1{null} mice) provided a radio-resistant and longer-lived model for human-cell engraftment. Mutations in X-chromosome-linked Il2rg gene cause X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID). Immunodeficient NOD-Rag1{null} IL2rg nullmice tolerated much higher levels of irradiation conditioning than did NOD-Prkdcscid IL2rg{null} mice.

NOD-scid IL2rg{null} mice are deficient in mature lymphocytes and NK cells, survive beyond 16-month of age, and even after sublethal irradiation resist lymphoma development. Moreover, cytokine-mobilized human peripheral blood stem cells engraft at high levels in NOD-scid IL2rg{null} mice and develop into human CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells, Ig+B cells, myeloid cells, NK cells and plasmacytoid dentritic cells.

A conditional allele for nkx6.1 is necessary to study the function of Nkx6.1 in adult mice. A homozygous nkx6.1 null allele results in neonatal lethality due to a paralytic state, which is a direct result of Nkx6.1 function in the development of motor neurons. Conditional loss of Nkx6.1 is achieved through Cre mediated recombination of a floxed exon II of nkx6.1. Our use for a conditional nkx6.1 allele is to study its function in beta cells of the adult pancreas. Nkx6-1{tm2(flox)Msan} Person: Mark A.

Mice that are homozygous for both targeted mutations are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities when housed under specific pathogen free conditions. These double homozygote mutant mice have no mature T or B lymphocytes, no detectable NK cell cytotoxic activity, and lack serum immunoglobulin. The number of nucleated spleen cells is significantly reduced in double mutant mice, when compared to the single homozygote, NOD.129S7(B6)-Rag1tm1Mom/J (Stock No. 003729). Although an increased number of DX5+CD122+ NK cells are found in the spleens of double mutants, these NK cells have impaired cytotoxic activity. The disruption of Prf1 ablates NK cell cytotoxic activity resulting in increased engraftment levels over that observed with Stock No. 003729. All mutant mice develop thymic lymphomas. This double mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies involving engraftment of human hematolymphoid cells. NOD.Cg-Rag1{tm1Mom}Prf1{tm1Sdz}/SzJ Person: Mark A.

The NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ mice, commonly known as NOD scid gamma (NSG), do not express the Prkdc gene nor the X-linked Il2rg gene. NSG mice are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Histological examination of lymphoid tissues reveals absence of lymphoid cells and some cystic structures in the thymus, an absence of follicles in the spleen and markedly diminished celluarity of lymph nodes. NSG mice are deficient in mature lymphocytes, serum Ig is not detectable and natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxic activity is extremely low. These mice are resistant to lymphoma development even after sublethal irradiation treatment. These mutant mice have been shown to readily support engraftment of human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells and represent a superior, long-lived model suitable for studies employing xenotransplantation strategies. Please note that the NSG carries the true null interleukin-2 receptor gamma chain mutation and should not be confused with other strains that express a truncated interleukin-2 receptor gamma chain as described in: "Modulation of hematopoiesis in mice with a truncated mutant of the interleukin-2 receptor gamma chain".

NRG-Akita mice, which are homozygous for the Rag1tm1Mom and the Il2rgtm1Wjl alleles (males are hemizygous for the X-linked Il2rgtm1Wjl allele) and heterozygous for the Ins2Akita allele, develop spontaneous hyperglycermia. No mature T, B or NK cells are detected in flow cytometric analysis of splenocytes from NRG-Akita mutant mice. Granulocyte and macrophage populations are similar to those seen in NRG mice. NRG-Akita mice develop hyperglycemia between 3 and 5 weeks of age. Histological examination at 3 weeks of age reveals normal pancreas morphology, and routine insulin and glucagon staining. By approximately 32 weeks of age, NRG-Akita mice display disorganized, condensed pancreatic islet architecture, with loss of insulin-positive cells. Euglycemia is restored by subrenal transplantation of mouse or human islets or intrapancreatic transplantation of dissociated mouse islet cells. NRG-Akita mice engrafted with human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) develop humanized immune systems. Approximately 60% of the human HSC engrafted NRG-Akita mice reject human islet allografts.

BFO 2 Reference: The realm of occurrents is less pervasively marked by the presence of natural units than is the case in the realm of independent continuants. Thus there is here no counterpart of ‘object’. In BFO 1.0 ‘process’ served as such a counterpart. In BFO 2.0 ‘process’ is, rather, the occurrent counterpart of ‘material entity’. Those natural – as contrasted with engineered, which here means: deliberately executed – units which do exist in the realm of occurrents are typically either parasitic on the existence of natural units on the continuant side, or they are fiat in nature. Thus we can count lives; we can count football games; we can count chemical reactions performed in experiments or in chemical manufacturing. We cannot count the processes taking place, for instance, in an episode of insect mating behavior.Even where natural units are identifiable, for example cycles in a cyclical process such as the beating of a heart or an organism’s sleep/wake cycle, the processes in question form a sequence with no discontinuities (temporal gaps) of the sort that we find for instance where billiard balls or zebrafish or planets are separated by clear spatial gaps. Lives of organisms are process units, but they too unfold in a continuous series from other, prior processes such as fertilization, and they unfold in turn in continuous series of post-life processes such as post-mortem decay.

Thus ‘professor’, defined as follows,b instance_of professor at t =Def. there is some c, c instance_of professor role & c inheres_in b at t.denotes a non-rigid universal and so also do ‘nurse’, ‘student’, ‘colonel’, ‘taxpayer’, and so forth. (These terms are all, in the jargon of philosophy, phase sortals.) By using role terms in definitions, we can create a BFO conformant treatment of such entities drawing on the fact that, while an instance of professor may be simultaneously an instance of trade union member, no instance of the type professor role is also (at any time) an instance of the type trade union member role (any more than any instance of the type color is at any time an instance of the type length).If an ontology of employment positions should be defined in terms of roles following the above pattern, this enables the ontology to do justice to the fact that individuals instantiate the corresponding universals – professor, sergeant, nurse – only during certain phases in their lives.

However, this does not mean that fiat object parts are dependent for their existence on divisions or delineations effected by cognitive subjects. If, for example, it is correct to conceive geological layers of the Earth as fiat object parts of the Earth, then even though these layers were first delineated in recent times, still existed long before such delineation and what holds of these layers (for example that the oldest layers are also the lowest layers) did not begin to hold because of our acts of delineation.Treatment of material entity in BFOExamples viewed by some as problematic cases for the trichotomy of fiat object part, object, and object aggregate include: a mussel on (and attached to) a rock, a slime mold, a pizza, a cloud, a galaxy, a railway train with engine and multiple carriages, a clonal stand of quaking aspen, a bacterial community (biofilm), a broken femur.

Material entities with no proper material parts would satisfy these conditions trivially. Candidate examples of types of causal unity for material entities of more complex sorts are as follows (this is not intended to be an exhaustive list):CU1: Causal unity via physical coveringHere the parts in the interior of the unified entity are combined together causally through a common membrane or other physical covering\. The latter points outwards toward and may serve a protective function in relation to what lies on the exterior of the entity [13, 47 BFO 2 Reference: ‘objects’ are sometimes referred to as ‘grains’ [74 Object object BFO 2 Reference: BFO rests on the presupposition that at multiple micro-, meso- and macroscopic scales reality exhibits certain stable, spatially separated or separable material units, combined or combinable into aggregates of various sorts (for example organisms into what are called ‘populations’). Such units play a central role in almost all domains of natural science from particle physics to cosmology. Many scientific laws govern the units in question, employing general terms (such as ‘molecule’ or ‘planet’) referring to the types and subtypes of units, and also to the types and subtypes of the processes through which such units develop and interact. The division of reality into such natural units is at the heart of biological science, as also is the fact that these units may form higher-level units (as cells form multicellular organisms) and that they may also form aggregates of units, for example as cells form portions of tissue and organs form families, herds, breeds, species, and so on. At the same time, the division of certain portions of reality into engineered units (manufactured artifacts) is the basis of modern industrial technology, which rests on the distributed mass production of engineered parts through division of labor and on their assembly into larger, compound units such as cars and laptops. The division of portions of reality into units is one starting point for the phenomenon of counting. BFO 2 Reference: Each object is such that there are entities of which we can assert unproblematically that they lie in its interior, and other entities of which we can assert unproblematically that they lie in its exterior. This may not be so for entities lying at or near the boundary between the interior and exterior. This means that two objects – for example the two cells depicted in Figure 3 – may be such that there are material entities crossing their boundaries which belong determinately to neither cell. Something similar obtains in certain cases of conjoined twins (see below).

Users are invited to propose new subcategories of Material Entity. BFO 2 Reference: ‘Matter’ is intended to encompass both mass and energy (we will address the ontological treatment of portions of energy in a later version of BFO). A portion of matter is anything that includes elementary particles among its proper or improper parts: quarks and leptons, including electrons, as the smallest particles thus far discovered; baryons (including protons and neutrons) at a higher level of granularity; atoms and molecules at still higher levels, forming the cells, organs, organisms and other material entities studied by biologists, the portions of rock studied by geologists, the fossils studied by paleontologists, and so on.Material entities are three-dimensional entities (entities extended in three spatial dimensions), as contrasted with the processes in which they participate, which are four-dimensional entities (entities extended also along the dimension of time).According to the FMA, material entities may have immaterial entities as parts – including the entities identified below as sites; for example the interior (or ‘lumen’) of your small intestine is a part of your body.

To be dealt with in a future version: fiat boundaries at different levels of granularity.More generally, the focus in discussion of boundaries in BFO 2.0 is now on fiat boundaries, which means: boundaries for which there is no assumption that they coincide with physical discontinuities. The ontology of boundaries becomes more closely allied with the ontology of regions.

The simplest type of process profiles are what we shall call ‘quality process profiles’, which are the process profiles which serve as the foci of the sort of selective abstraction that is involved when measurements are made of changes in single qualities, as illustrated, for example, by process profiles of mass, temperature, aortic pressure, and so on. process-profile (iff (ProcessProfile a) (exists (b) (and (Process b) (processProfileOf a b)))) // axiom label in BFO2 CLIF: [093-002] On a somewhat higher level of complexity are what we shall call rate process profiles, which are the targets of selective abstraction focused not on determinate quality magnitudes plotted over time, but rather on certain ratios between these magnitudes and elapsed times. A speed process profile, for example, is represented by a graph plotting against time the ratio of distance covered per unit of time.

CARO:0000013 To accommodate unicellular organisms better, 'cell in vivo' has been re-labeled 'native cell' to better represent its intended meaning - that is, that it is a cell in the context of a multicellular organism or in a natural environment. 'Native' is intended to contrast with 'in vitro', which refers to cells or other biological entities that have been intentionally placed in a controlled, non-natural setting for the purpose of study or manipulation. (MAH 1.12.12). cell cell in vivo cultured cell A cell in vitro that is or has been maintained or propagated as part of a cell culture.

This includes cells actively being cultured, or cells that have been cultured but are stored in a quiescent state for future use. In having been cultured, cells must establish homeostasis and often replicate in a foreign environment. Accomodation of this stress initiates a selection of cells fit for such challenges, wherein necessary adaptive biochemical and.or genetic changes can occur. These changes can set them apart from the in vivo cells from which they derive, and such changes will typically accumulate and change over increasing time in culture. cell female germ cell Female germ cell is a germ cell that supports female gamete production.

BTO:0001176 CALOHA:TS-0278 FMA:66772 From FMA: 9.07.2001: Endothelial cell has always been classified as a kind of epithelial cell, specifically a squamous cell but that is not true. First, endothelial cell can either be squamous or cuboidal (e.g. high-endothelial cell) and secondly, it has different embryological derivation (mesodermal) than a true epithelial cell (ectodermal and endodermal). The basis for present classification is the fact that it comprises the outermost layer or lining of anatomical structures (location-based) but a better structural basis for the differentia is the cytoskeleton of the cell. Endothelial cell has vimentin filaments while an epithelial cell has keratin filaments.
