摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of purifying mammalian hematopoietic stem cells from a bone marrow cell population. The present invention also relates to a method of separating cycling HSCs from quiescent HSCs in a purified mammalian HSC sample. Further, the invention relates to a method of identifying an agent which is a fluorescent, vital dye which is lipophilic for use in purifying mammalian HSCs. The present invention also relates to a method of transplanting bone marrow in a mammalian host, such as a human, comprising introducing into the host the purified HSCs described herein. The invention further relates to a method of in vivo administration of a protein comprising transfecting a purified HSC with a construct comprising DNA which encodes a protein of interest and then introducing the stem cell into the host where the protein of interest is expressed. The present invention also relates to hematopoietic stem cells purified using the methods described herein.
摘要:
A method of altering the specific, systemic immune response of an individual to a target antigen by the co-administration of a cytokine, an adhesion or accessory molecule, and the target antigen. The target antigen may be a tumor cell, a tumor cell antigen, an infectious agent or other foreign antigen, or other antigens to which an enhanced systemic immune response is desirable. Alternatively, the antigen may be a non-foreign antigen when a suppression of a systemic immune response is desired. The resulting systemic immune response is specific for the target antigen.

Retroviral vectors are disclosed which include an insertion site for genes of interest and are capable of expressing high levels of the protein derived from the genes of interest in a wide variety of transfected cell types. Also disclosed are retroviral vectors lacking a selectable marker, thus rendering them suitable for human gene therapy in the treatment of a variety of disease states without the co-expression of a marker product, such as an antibiotic. These retroviral vectors are especially suited for use in certain packaging cell lines.
