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

B7h, a Novel Costimulatory Homolog of B7.1 and B7.2, Is Induced by TNFα
TL;DR: It is suggested that induction of B7h by TNFalpha may function as a mechanism to directly augment recognition of self during inflammation and define a novel costimulatory ligand for T cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IDPm is induced by ROS and that decreased expression of IDpm markedly elevates the ROS generation, DNA fragmentation, lipid peroxidation, and concurrent mitochondrial damage with a significant reduction in ATP level, and thus plays a key role in cellular defense against oxidative stress-induced damage.

Activation of the c-Abl tyrosine kinase in the stress response to DNA-damaging agents
Surender Kharbanda,Ruibao Ren,Pramod Pandey,Timothy D. Shafman,Stephen M. Feller,Ralph R. Weichselbaum,Donald Kufe +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ionizing radiation activates c-Abl and this findings indicate that c-abl is involved in the stress response to DNA-damaging agents.

Wnt-4 is a mesenchymal signal for epithelial transformation of metanephric mesenchyme in the developing kidney
TL;DR: Results lend additional support to the notion that Wnt-4 is a key auto-regulator of the mesenchymal to epithelial transformation that underpins nephrogenesis adding another level of complexity in the hierarchy of molecular events mediating tubulogenesis.

Function of GATA Transcription Factors in Preadipocyte-Adipocyte Transition
TL;DR: It is shown that murine GATA-2 and Gata-3 are specifically expressed in white adipocyte precursors and that their down-regulation sets the stage for terminal differentiation.

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.
