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

c-Myb Is Required for Pro-B Cell Differentiation
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that tissue-specific inactivation of the Myb locus in early progenitor cells is absolutely required for the differentiation of CD19+ B-lineage cells and B cell differentiation is profoundly blocked beyond the pre-pro-B cell stage in Mybf/f Mb1-cre mice.

The Lin12-Notch Repeats of Pregnancy-associated Plasma Protein-A Bind Calcium and Determine Its Proteolytic Specificity
Henning B. Boldt,Kasper Kjaer-Sorensen,Michael Toft Overgaard,Kathrin Weyer,Christine B. Poulsen,Lars Sottrup-Jensen,Cheryl A. Conover,Linda C. Giudice,Claus Oxvig +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the PAPP-A LNR modules function together to determine the proteolytic specificity of P APP-A, and a model in which LNR3 is spatially localized in proximity to LNR1 and -2, forming a single functional unit is proposed.

A new module in neural differentiation control: two microRNAs upregulated by retinoic acid, miR-9 and -103, target the differentiation inhibitor ID2.
TL;DR: A new regulatory module involving two microRNAs upregulated during neural differentiation that directly target expression of the key differentiation inhibitor ID2 is revealed, suggesting that its alteration may be involved in neural cancer development.

Bcr-Abl with an SH3 deletion retains the ability To induce a myeloproliferative disease in mice, yet c-Abl activated by an SH3 deletion induces only lymphoid malignancy.
TL;DR: The results indicate that Bcr sequences in Bcr-Abl play additional roles in inducing myeloproliferative disease beyond simply activating the AbL kinase domain and that functions of the Abl SH3 domain are either not required or redundant in BCr-A Bl-induced myelanoplasmic disease.

Inhibition of insulin signaling and adipogenesis by rapamycin: effect on phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase vs eIF4E-BP1.
TL;DR: The data suggest that adipogenic mTOR signaling occurs via the 4E-BP1/eIF4E pathway, rather than through p70 S6K, an insulin-responsive kinase downstream of PI3K and PKB.

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.
