Abbott was born to Jamaican parents in Paddington, London, on 27 September 1953. Her father worked as a welder and her mother as a nurse. [2] [3] Both of her parents left school at the age of 14. [4] She attended Harrow County School for Girls (a grammar school) and then Newnham College, Cambridge, where she read history, achieving a lower second-class degree (2:2). [5] [6] At Cambridge, one of her supervisors was Sir Simon Schama. [7] If Abbott – an MP who has worked hard for her constituents, which is what an MP is supposed to do – is not allowed to stand for Labour at the next election, I, as a lifelong Labour voter, will not vote Labour. Abbott continued: “The Labour Party has not charged me with antisemitism because they know it is untrue. As someone who has fought all forms of racism all my life, I would consider it a very serious allegation. Instead it has been used to smear me, my reputation and decades of anti-racist work.”

Cumulatively, the data on AKBI mice suggest that for proinflammatory pathways involving NF-κB, IκBα and IκBβ can carry out similar redundant functions. Such findings may not be surprising, since the IKK complex mediates the proinflammatory pathway of NF-κB activation through similar mechanisms of serine phosphorylation on both IκBα and IκBβ. However, this canonical proinflammatory IKK-mediated pathway of NF-κB activation, which acts via the phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitin degradation of both IκBα and IκBβ, is only one of two pathways known to modulate the cytoplasmic IκBα–NF-κB complex. To this end, several stimuli, including H/R, pervanadate, and H 2O 2, have been demonstrated to activate NF-κB through Tyr42 phosphorylation of IκBα in the absence of ubiquitin-dependent degradation ( 3). This functional regulation is not conserved for IκBβ ( 3). These findings have suggested that IKK-independent pathways can function under specific redox-mediated stimuli to activate NF-κB. In vivo support of this pathway was first identified following partial lobar I/R in the mouse liver, where NF-κB is activated in the absence of degradation of IκBα and associated with increased IκBα tyrosine phosphorylation ( 25). Despite these associations of redox injury with increased IκBα tyrosine phosphorylation and its dependence on Src family kinases ( 4– 7, 30), the in vivo functional significance of this pathway of NF-κB activation has remained obscure. However, given that IκBα and IκBβ are not conserved in their ability to be tyrosine-phosphorylated, these findings suggest that AKBI mice might demonstrate altered NF-κB responses to redox-mediated environmental injuries. a b Gilligan, Andrew (21 May 2017).
