[Abstract] Antigen-specific T cell-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been shown to re-differentiate into functional T cells and thus provide a potential source of T cells that could be useful for cancer immunotherapy. Human Vα24+ invariant natural killer T (Vα24+iNKT) cells are subset of T cells that are characterized by the expression of an invariant Vα24-Jα18 paired with Vβ11, that recognize glycolipids, such as α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), presented by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d. Vα24+iNKT cells capable of producing IFN-γ are reported to augment anti-tumor responses, which affects both NK cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes to eliminate MHC- and MHC+ tumor cells, respectively. Here we describe a ...
[摘要] 抗原特异性T细胞来源的诱导多能干细胞（iPSCs）已显示重新分化为功能性T细胞，从而提供可用于癌症免疫治疗的T细胞的潜在来源。不变性自然杀伤T（Vα24 + iNKT）细胞的人Vα24 + 细胞是T细胞的子集，其特征在于与Vβ11配对的不变Vα24-Jα18的表达，其识别糖脂，如α-半乳糖神经酰胺（α-GalCer），由MHC I类分子CD1d呈递。据报道能够产生IFN-γ的Vα24 + i / KT细胞增加抗肿瘤反应，其影响NK细胞和CD8 +细胞毒性T淋巴细胞以消除MHC - 和MHC + 肿瘤细胞。在这里，我们描述了将人Vα24 + iNKT细胞重编程到iPSC中的鲁棒方案，然后将其重新分化为Vα24 + iNKT细胞（iPS-Vα24功能的iNKT）。我们进一步提供了测定iPS-Vα24 + iNKT细胞活性的方案。背景 以前有报道说，针对晚期非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）和头颈部癌症的Vα24 + iNKT细胞癌免疫治疗的临床试验显示疗效，耐受性良好（Motohashi et al。等人，2009; Yamasaki等人，2011）。然而，已知来自外周血单核细胞（PBMC）的Vα24 ...

[Abstract] Multiple viruses can co-infect the genital tract, modifying the immunologic and virologic milieu and possibly playing a role in viral transmission and pathogenesis. The aim of our studies has been to understand the complex relationships between HIV-1 RNA, and multiple human herpesviruses known to frequently replicate in the genital tract of HIV-infected men (i.e. cytomegalovirus [CMV], Epstein Bar virus [EBV], herpes simplex virus [HSV] types 1 and 2, and human herpesviruses [HHV] 6, 7 and 8) (Gianella et al., 2013a; Gianella et al., 2013b; Gianella et al., 2013c; Gianella et al., 2014). This protocol was designed to collect and process male genital secretion (GS), and to isolate and further quantify HIV RNA and DNA of seven HHV from seminal ...
[摘要] 多种病毒可以共感染生殖道，修改免疫学和病毒学环境，并可能在病毒传播和发病中起作用。 我们的研究的目的是了解HIV-1 RNA和已知在HIV感染的男性生殖道中经常复制的多种人疱疹病毒之间的复杂关系（即巨细胞病毒[CMV]，Epstein 条形病毒[EBV]，单纯疱疹病毒[HSV] 1型和2型，以及人疱疹病毒[HHV] 6,7和8）（Gianella等人，2013a; Gianella等人 。，2013b; Gianella 等人，2013c; Gianella ，2014）。 该方案设计用于收集和处理男性生殖器分泌（GS），并使用定量实时PCR技术从精浆中分离并进一步定量7个HHV的HIV RNA和DNA。

[Abstract] This ChIP protocol was developed and improved over the years by various researchers in the Snyder lab, Stanford University, especially Anthony Borneman and Christopher Yellman. I have used this method to successfully map the genome-wide binding of transcription factors Ste12. The ChIPed DNA is suitable for downstream analysis using PCR, microarray or sequencing.
[摘要] 这个ChIP协议是由斯坦福大学斯奈德实验室，特别是安东尼博恩曼和克里斯托弗·耶尔曼的研究人员多年来开发和改进的。 我已经使用这种方法成功映射转录因子Ste12的全基因组结合。 ChIPed DNA适用于使用PCR，微阵列或测序的下游分析。
