摘要:
This invention provides a method for stably producing airway epithelial cells from pluripotent stem cells. Specifically, the invention relates to a method for producing airway epithelial cells from pluripotent stem cells comprising steps: (1) culturing pluripotent stem cells in a medium containing activin A and a GSK3β inhibitor; (2) culturing the cells obtained in Step (1) in a medium containing a BMP inhibitor and a TGFβ inhibitor; (3) culturing the cells obtained in Step (2) in a medium containing BMP4, retinoic acid, and a GSK3β inhibitor; (5) subjecting the cells obtained after Step (3) to three-dimensional culture in a medium containing a GSK3β inhibitor, FGF10, and a ROCK inhibitor; and (6) subjecting the proximal airway epithelial progenitor cells obtained in Step (5) to three-dimensional culture in a medium containing a ROCK inhibitor.

摘要:
The invention provides a method of activating a T lymphocyte by contacting the T lymphocyte with a dendritic cell (DC) that presents a telomerase reverse transcriptase (TRT) peptide in the context of a MHC class I or MHC class II molecule. The DC may be pulsed with a TRT polypeptide or may comprise a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a TRT such as hTRT. The invention also provides DCs comprising a recombinant TRT polynucleotide. The methods and compositions of the invention are used in prevention and treatment of cancers and other cell proliferation diseases or conditions.
摘要:
Isolated human monoclonal antibodies which bind to and inhibit human CD20, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. The human antibodies can be produced by a transfectoma or in a non-human transgenic animal, e.g ., a transgenic mouse, capable of producing multiple isotypes of human monoclonal antibodies by undergoing V-D-J recombination and isotype switching. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the human antibodies, non-human transgenic animals and hybridomas which produce the human antibodies, and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the human antibodies.
