TLDR
In this article, a method for producing high-titer, helper-free infectious retroviruses is disclosed which employs a novel strategy that uses transient transfection of new retroviral producer cell lines, ecotropic line BOSC 23 and amphotropic line CAK 8.Abstract:
A method for producing high-titer, helper-free infectious retroviruses is disclosed which employs a novel strategy that uses transient transfection of new retroviral producer cell lines, ecotropic line BOSC 23 and amphotropic line CAK 8, both of which cell lines and their precursor cell lines are disclosed. Because of the advantages over stable packaging cell lines, the BOSC 23 and CAK 8 transient transfection systems greatly facilitate and extend the use of helper-free retroviral vectors. The cell lines and corresponding methods possess wide application in both the medical and biotechnical fields, including gene therapy. These potential applications are disclosed and illustrated.read more

Superactivation of integrin alphavbeta3 by low antagonist concentrations.
TL;DR: The results indicate that low concentrations of the ligand mimetic cyclo-RGD can result in superactivation of the extracellular domain of integrin alphavbeta3 to a comparable level as activation by manganese.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of c-Abl tyrosine kinase activity by filamentous actin.
TL;DR: The data suggest that F-actin is an inhibitor of the c-Abl tyrosine kinase and that this inhibition contributes in part to the reduced Abl kinase activity in detached cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that caspase-9 plays a dual role in cell death signaling, as an activator of effector caspases and lysosomal membrane permeabilization, and consistent with the ability of TNF to activate the intrinsic apoptosis pathway.

Oxidative Stress Induces Protein Phosphatase 2A-dependent Dephosphorylation of the Pocket Proteins pRb, p107, and p130
TL;DR: It was found that inhibition of PP2A by SV40 small t over-expression prevented DNA synthesis inhibition induced by H2O2, and played a role in this S-phase response.

Notch Signaling in Primary Endothelial Cells
TL;DR: Using an in vitro coculture assay, it is found that Delta4 can function as a ligand for Notch4 in HMVECd cells, suggesting that there may be a regulatory loop between notch4 and its ligand, Delta4.

Characteristics of a Human Cell Line Transformed by DNA from Human Adenovirus Type 5
TL;DR: Human embryonic kidney cells have been transformed by exposing cells to sheared fragments of adenovirus type 5 DNA, and the transformed cells exhibited many of the characteristics of transformation including the elaboration of a virus-specific tumour antigen.

Vaccination with Irradiated Tumor Cells Engineered to Secrete Murine Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor Stimulates Potent, Specific, and Long-Lasting Anti-Tumor Immunity

TL;DR: The results have important implications for the clinical use of genetically modified tumor cells as therapeutic cancer vaccines and the levels of anti-tumor immunity reported previously in cytokine gene transfer studies involving live, transduced cells could be achieved through the use of irradiated cells alone.

Induction of chronic myelogenous leukemia in mice by the P210bcr/abl gene of the Philadelphia chromosome
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that P210bcr/abl expression can induce chronic myelogenous leukemia and retrovirus-mediated expression of the protein provides a murine model system for further analysis of the disease.

The Basic Science of Gene Therapy
TL;DR: A large number of key technical issues need to be resolved before gene therapy can be safely and effectively applied in the clinic, and future technological developments will be critical for the successful practice of gene therapy.

Improved Retroviral Vectors for Gene Transfer and Expression
A D Miller,G J Rosman +1 more
TL;DR: A set of murine retrovirus-based vectors that include unique cloning sites for insertion of cDNAs such that the cDNA can be driven by either the retroviral long terminal repeat, the immediate early promoter of human cytomegalovirus, or the simian virus 40 early promoter are described.
