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

Detection and trapping of intermediate states priming nicotinic receptor channel opening
TL;DR: A change in binding-site conformation primes the AChR for channel opening in a process that enables selective activation by ACh while maximizing the speed and efficiency of the biological response.

SH3-mediated Hck Tyrosine Kinase Activation and Fibroblast Transformation by the Nef Protein of HIV-1
TL;DR: It is shown that Rat-2 fibroblasts co-expressing Hck and Nef rapidly developed transformed foci, whereas control cells expressing either protein alone did not, suggesting that Hck may be activated by Nef in HIV-infected macrophages.

A Dlx2- and Pax6-Dependent Transcriptional Code for Periglomerular Neuron Specification in the Adult Olfactory Bulb
Monika S. Brill,Marina Snapyan,Hilde Wohlfrom,Jovica Ninkovic,Melanie Jawerka,Grant S. Mastick,Ruth Ashery-Padan,Armen Saghatelyan,Benedikt Berninger,Magdalena Götz +9 more
TL;DR: Beyond its function in generic neurogenesis, Dlx2 also plays a crucial role in neuronal subtype specification in the OB, promoting specification of adult-born periglomerular neurons (PGNs) toward a dopaminergic fate.

Modulation of Insulin-stimulated Degradation of Human Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 by Serine 312 Phosphorylation
TL;DR: It is found that inhibitors of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin block the degradation of IRS-1, and knockout cells lacking one of the key effectors of this cascade, the phosphoinositide-dependent kinase- 1, were found to be deficient in the insulin-stimulated degradation.

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.
