TLDR
The marker-gene technique described should permit evaluation of the mechanisms of relapse and the efficacy of purging in patients receiving autologous marrow transplantation for other solid tumors that infiltrate the marrow.

Interleukin-1, interleukin-1 receptors and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist.

TL;DR: There is growing evidence that the production and activity of IL-1, particularly IL- 1 beta, are tightly regulated events as if nature has placed specific "road blocks" to reduce the response toIL-1 during disease.

c-kit Ligand and Flt3 Ligand: Stem/Progenitor Cell Factors With Overlapping Yet Distinct Activities

TL;DR: The daily turnover in a normal adult of approximately 1012 blood cells is tightly regulated, involving hematopoietic progenitor cells and mature blood cells from a pool of pluripotent, long-term reconstituting stem cells.

Engraftment of gene-modified umbilical cord blood cells in neonates with adenosine deaminase deficiency.

TL;DR: The continued presence and expression of the introduced gene in leukocytes from bone marrow and peripheral blood for 18 months demonstrates that umbilical cord blood cells may be genetically modified with retroviral vectors and engrafted in neonates for gene therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retrovirally marked CD34-enriched peripheral blood and bone marrow cells contribute to long-term engraftment after autologous transplantation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that mobilized PB cells may be preferable to BM for gene therapy applications and that progeny of mobilized peripheral blood cells can contribute long-term to engraftment of multiple lineages.

Neuroblastoma

TL;DR: Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that most often affects children and can spread to other parts of the body such as the bones, liver, or skin.

Genetic Applications of an Inverse Polymerase Chain Reaction

TL;DR: The feasibility of IPCR is shown by amplifying the sequences that flank an IS1 element in the genome of a natural isolate of Escherichia coli.

Gene-marking to trace origin of relapse after autologous bone-marrow transplantation

TL;DR: Transfer of the neomycin-resistance gene into bone-marrow cells harvested from children with acute myeloid leukaemia in remission should enable the development of better marrow purging strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunologic purging of marrow assessed by PCR before autologous bone marrow transplantation for B-cell lymphoma.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the clinical usefulness of ex vivo purging of autologous bone marrow in the treatment of patients with lymphoma and suggest that the reinfusion of malignant cells in autOLOGous marrow contributes to relapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence that the packaging signal of Moloney murine leukemia virus extends into the gag region.

TL;DR: It is found that retroviral vectors containing the complete packaging signal allow more efficient gene transfer into a variety of cell types and may help explain why many oncogenic retroviruses have retained gag sequences and often express transforming proteins that are gag-onc hybrids.
