    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules containing spacers that can be packaged into viral particles and methods of producing them. In a first aspect, the invention features a nucleic acid molecule including a first spacer (SSI); a first inverted terminal repeat (ITR1); a cloning site (CS); a second inverted terminal repeat (ITR2); and a second spacer (SS2), such as a eukaryotic spacer; operably linked to each other in a 5′-to-3′ direction as: SS1-ITR1-CS-ITR2-SS2. In an embodiment, the invention features a vector comprising any of the above-described nucleic acid molecules. In another aspect, the invention features a plurality of viral particles including the nucleic acid molecule. The invention further includes a host cell including any of the above-described vectors.

    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for modulating T-cell activity by incubating a CD8 T cell with a signal 3 cytokine, such as IL-12. Incubation of naïve CD8 T cells, particularly, with a signal 3 cytokine can acquire long-lived memory associated gene expression characteristic of the stem cell memory subset of CD8 T cells. Further, incubation with signal 3 cytokines can induce changes to the epigenetic profile of naïve CD8 T cells that are more characteristic of bona fide Tscm cells than in vitro generated cells using traditional differentiation protocols. On account of epigenetic profiles being preserved during in vivo homeostasis, signal 3 cytokines such as IL-12 can be used to engineer a T cell population with the desired epigenetic profile that maintains effector functions and proliferative capacity.
