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

BRCA1 facilitates microhomology-mediated end joining of DNA double strand breaks.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that Brca1 has an essential role in microhomology-mediated end joining in NHEJ and a novel molecular basis for its caretaker role in the maintenance of genome integrity is suggested.

Wnt-1 Induces Growth, Cytosolic β-Catenin, and Tcf/Lef Transcriptional Activation in Rat-1 Fibroblasts
TL;DR: It is shown that Wnt-1 induces a growth response in a cultured mammalian cell line, Rat-1 fibroblasts, and induction of cytosolic β-catenin may have functions in addition to Tcf/Lef transcriptional activation.

Impact of host cell line choice on glycan profile.
Justin B. Goh,Say Kong Ng +1 more
TL;DR: This review discusses the types of host cell lines currently used for recombinant therapeutic production, their glycosylation potential and the resultant impact on glycoprotein properties, and compares the reported gly cosylation profiles of four recombinant glycoproteins.

Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Induces Translational Regulation of Bcl-XL and Bcl-2 via a MEK-dependent Pathway CORRELATION WITH RESISTANCE TO ETOPOSIDE-INDUCED APOPTOSIS
Olivier E. Pardo,Alexandre Arcaro,Giovanni Salerno,Selina Raguz,Julian Downward,Michael J. Seckl +5 more
TL;DR: MEK/extracellularly regulated kinase signaling is critical in the coordinate modulation of both pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members by FGF-2.

Conformational changes in tertiary structure near the ligand binding site of an integrin I domain
TL;DR: By defining the residues present in the epitope of a mAb against the human Mac-1 integrin that binds only the active receptor, this work provides biochemical evidence that the I domain itself undergoes a conformational change with activation and suggests that conformational differences in the Idomain are physiologically relevant and not merely a consequence of different crystal lattice interactions.

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.

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.
