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

Retrograde monosynaptic tracing reveals the temporal evolution of inputs onto new neurons in the adult dentate gyrus and olfactory bulb.

TL;DR: This study studied the stepwise integration of new neurons within these two brain areas using a rabies-virus–based synaptic tracing tool, revealing that in both areas integration follows a similar logic, with adult-born neurons incorporating first into the local circuit before becoming innervated by long-range connections.

Rac1 accumulates in the nucleus during the G2 phase of the cell cycle and promotes cell division
David Michaelson,Wasif M. Abidi,Daniele Guardavaccaro,Mo Zhou,Ian M. Ahearn,Michele Pagano,Mark R. Philips +6 more
TL;DR: The results show that Rac1 cycles in and out of the nucleus during the cell cycle and thereby plays a role in promoting cell division.

Oncogenic Ras inhibits Fas ligand‐mediated apoptosis by downregulating the expression of Fas
Janos Peli,Michael Schröter,Claude Rudaz,Michael Hahne,Christine Meyer,Ernst Reichmann,Jürg Tschopp +6 more
TL;DR: Oncogenic Ras (H‐Ras) downregulates Fas expression and renders cells of fibroblastic and epitheloid origin resistant to Fas ligand‐induced apoptosis, and in Ras‐transformed cells, Fas mRNA is absent.

Regulation of Epithelial Cell Migration and Tumor Formation by β-Catenin Signaling
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a critical threshold of beta-catenin signaling, activated by cooperative mechanisms, may be important during the EMT and tumorigenesis, and cells expressing stabilized beta-Catenin also exhibit significantly increased capability to form tumors in a nude mouse xenograft model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retroviral delivery of viral interleukin-10 into myeloid dendritic cells markedly inhibits their allostimulatory activity and promotes the induction of T-cell hyporesponsiveness.
TL;DR: DC can be effectively transduced to express vIL-10 and limit their ability to stimulate in vitro, and these genetically engineered antigen-presenting cells may have therapeutic potential to inhibit undesired immune responses to allo- or autoantigens.

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
Glenn Dranoff,Elizabeth M. Jaffee,Audrey J. Lazenby,Paul Golumbek,Hyam I. Levitsky,Katja Brose,Valerie Jackson,Hirofumi Hamada,Drew M. Pardoll,Richard C. Mulligan +9 more
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.
