The ubiquitin ligase c-CBL is expressed in undifferentiated marmoset monkey pluripotent stem cells but is not a general stem cell marker
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The protein c-CBL is a ubiquitin ligase. It catalyzes the last step of the transfer of ubiquitin to target proteins. Upon completion of polyubiquitination, the target proteins are degraded. Clinically, it is important that c-CBL is mutated in a subset of patients who develop myeloid malignancies, which are diseases of the hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells. c-CBL has also been shown to be expressed by human spermatogonia. The whole spermatogonial cell population possesses a subset that comprises also the spermatogonial stem cells. Based on these findings we hypothesized that c-CBL might be a general stem cell marker. To test this, we first validated the antibody using marmoset bone marrow and adult testis. In both tissues, the expected staining pattern was observed. Western blot analysis revealed only one band of the expected size. Then, we examined the expression of c-CBL in marmoset monkey embryonic stem (ES) cells, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and adult stem cells. We found that c-CBL is strongly expressed in undifferentiated marmoset iPS cells and ES cells. However, adult stem cells in the gut and the stomach did not express c-CBL, indicating that c-CBL is not a general stem cell marker. In summary, c-CBL is strongly expressed in pluripotent stem cells of the marmoset monkey as well as in selected adult stem cell types. Future studies will define the function of c-CBL in pluripotent stem cells.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
