[Abstract] Human astroviruses (HAstV) are non-enveloped, positive-sense single stranded RNA viruses that typically cause gastroenteritis in children, the elderly and among immunocompromised individuals. Some HAstV species have also been implicated in neurological diseases. It is important to study these viruses to understand the pathogenesis and develop therapeutics. Here we describe HAstV infection in epithelium-only human intestinal enteroids (HIE) isolated from biopsy-derived intestinal crypts. Although different HAstV clades have been propagated in transformed immortalized cell lines such as A549, Caco-2, HEK293T and Huh7.5, we chose HIE because they better mimic the human intestine and thus are more physiologically relevant. Additionally, HIE support the replication of all HAstV clades ...
[摘要] [摘要] 人类星状病毒(HAstV)是一种非包膜,正向单链RNA病毒,通常会导致儿童,老年人和免疫力低下的人群中的肠胃炎。一些HAstV物种也与神经系统疾病有关。研究这些病毒以了解其发病机理并开发治疗方法非常重要。在这里我们描述HAstV感染 从活检来源的肠隐窝中分离出的仅上皮的人肠小肠类固醇(HIE)。尽管已经在转化的永生化细胞系(例如A549,Caco-2,HEK293T和Huh7.5)中繁殖了不同的HAstV进化枝,但我们选择HIE是因为它们可以更好地模仿人的肠道,因此在生理上更相关。此外,HIE支持所有HAstV进化枝的复制,包括临床样品,因此使HIE成为研究HAstV生物学的有价值的潜在通用模型。
[背景] 人类星状病毒(HAstV)是高度流行的肠病毒,会引起从腹泻到脑炎的广泛感染。无症状,全身和肠道外感染很常见(Madeley和Cosgrove 1975;Bosch 等人,2014;Kolawole 等人,2019)。尽管具有医学重要性,但H AstV 是一些特征最弱的肠病毒。目前,已识别出三组人类AstV:经典HAstV和非经典HAstV-MLB(墨尔本),以及HAstV-VA / ...

[Abstract] Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have the potential to provide homogeneous cell populations of T cells that can be grown at a clinical scale and genetically engineered to meet specific clinical needs. OP9-DLL4, a stromal line ectopically expressing the Notch ligand Delta-like 4 (DLL4) is used to support differentiation of PSCs to T-lymphocytes. This article outlines several protocols related to generation of T cells from human and non-human primate (NHP) PSCs, including initial hematopoietic differentiation of PSC on OP9 feeders or defined conditions, followed by coculture of the OP9-DLL4 cells with the PSC-derived hematopoietic progenitors (HPs), leading to efficient differentiation to T lymphocytes. In addition, we describe a protocol for robust T cell generation from hPSCs conditionally ...
[摘要] [摘要] 多能干细胞(PSCs)有潜力提供同质的T细胞群体,这些细胞可以在临床规模上生长,并通过基因工程来满足特定的临床需求。OP9-DLL4是一种异位表达Notch配体Delta-like 4(DLL4)的基质细胞系,用于支持psc向T淋巴细胞的分化。本文概述了从人类和非人类灵长类(NHP)PSC中产生T细胞的几种方法,包括在OP9喂食者或特定条件下对PSC进行初始造血分化,然后将OP9-DLL4细胞与PSC衍生的造血祖细胞(HPs)共培养,从而有效地分化成T淋巴细胞。此外,我们描述了一个从有条件表达ETS1的hPSCs中产生健壮T细胞的方案。所提出的协议提供了一个平台,用于疾病建模和评估其在大型动物模型免疫治疗中的应用。
[背景] T淋巴细胞(T细胞)在细胞介导的免疫反应中起着关键作用,参与肿瘤细胞的监测和杀伤。在过去的几十年里,已经开发了几种策略来重定向、培养和/或增强抗肿瘤的T淋巴细胞(Houot等人,2015年;June等人,2018年),并将其用于基于T细胞的过继免疫治疗。最近的临床试验表明,用嵌合抗原受体(CAR)-T细胞治疗复发性和难治性淋巴瘤患者的疗效显著(Riviere和Sadelain,2017)。
人类多能干细胞(hPSCs),包括胚胎(hESCs)和诱导(hiPSCs),为生产用于过继性细胞免疫疗法的T细胞提供了一种很有前景的资源,可与基因工程技术相结合,产生现成的CAR ...
