TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the process of culturing human B-lymphocytes in a tissue culture medium in the presence of an antigen, and then recovering the antibody producing cells from the medium.
Abstract: Antibody producing human B-lymphocytes are produced by a process which comprises culturing human B-lymphocytes in a tissue culture medium in the presence of an antigen; helper signal producing agents comprising monocytes or monocyte conditioned medium containing Interleukin 1 (I1-1), and helper T-lymphocytes or helper T-lymphocyte replacing factor; and human serum; and thereafter recovering the antibody producing cells from the medium.

TL;DR: This work reveals how differences in biogenesis, function and evolution contribute to characteristic features of microRNA evolution in the two kingdoms.
Abstract: MicroRNAs are pervasive in both plants and animals, but many aspects of their biogenesis, function and evolution differ. We reveal how these differences contribute to characteristic features of microRNA evolution in the two kingdoms.

TL;DR: It is shown that maturation of miR-451, a functional miRNA that is perfectly conserved among vertebrates, is independent of Dicer, and the mir-451 backbone is amenable to reprogramming, permitting vector-driven expression of diverse functional miRNAs in the absence of Dacer.
Abstract: Canonical animal microRNAs (miRNAs) are generated by sequential cleavage of precursor substrates by the Drosha and Dicer RNase III enzymes. Several variant pathways exploit other RNA metabolic activities to generate functional miRNAs. However, all of these pathways culminate in Dicer cleavage, suggesting that this is a unifying feature of miRNA biogenesis. Here, we show that maturation of miR-451, a functional miRNA that is perfectly conserved among vertebrates, is independent of Dicer. Instead, structure-function and knockdown studies indicate that Drosha generates a short pre-mir-451 hairpin that is directly cleaved by Ago2 and followed by resection of its 3′ terminus. We provide stringent evidence for this model by showing that Dicer knockout cells can generate mature miR-451 but not other miRNAs, whereas Ago2 knockout cells reconstituted with wild-type Ago2, but not Slicer-deficient Ago2, can process miR-451. Finally, we show that the mir-451 backbone is amenable to reprogramming, permitting vector-driven expression of diverse functional miRNAs in the absence of Dicer. Beyond the demonstration of an alternative strategy to direct gene silencing, these observations open the way for transgenic rescue of Dicer conditional knockouts.
