Abstract:
The invention relates to methods of enriching for hematopoietic cell populations enriched in myeloid and/or lymphoid progenitor cells based on cell specific markers. The methods also provide an enriched population of prethymic lymphoid-committed progenitor population lacking long-term hematopoietic reconstitution potential. Compositions enriched for the cells and populations of cells obtained therefrom are also provided by the invention. Methods of use of the cells are also included. Methods of genetically modifying the cells are provided as are cells obtained thereby.
Abstract:
A method for obtaining human hematopoietic stem cells is provided by separation of the stem cells from dedicated cells by virtue of a novel stem cell marker. The cells obtained are provided. The isolated cells demonstrate increased proliferative potential.
Abstract:
A method of promoting in vitro beta cell proliferation is provided. The method comprises subjecting beta cells to an effective amount of at least one growth factor expressed by pancreatic pericytes during the neonatal period, thereby promoting in vitro beta cell proliferation.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of sorting T cells based on expression of CD117. The T cells may comprise a nucleotide sequence encoding a TCR and/or a CAR. Prior to sorting, the cells may have undergone reversion to a naïve phenotype. Also provided is a method of generating T cells having a naïve phenotypewhich comprises culturing central memory and/or effector memory T cells in a culture medium comprising a cytokine. Cell populations and uses of the T cells in therapy are also described.
Abstract:
A method of treating an inflammation in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of perforin+ immature DCs (Perf+ im DCs), thereby treating the inflammation in the subject. Methods of generating Perf+ im DCs, wherein the Perf+ im DCs are inhibited from maturing are also disclosed. Isolated population of cells, pharmaceutical compositions and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Hematopoeitic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) and/or non-T effector cells are modified to express an extracellular component including a tag cassette. The tag cassette can be used to activate, promote proliferation of, detect, enrich, isolate, track, deplete and/or eliminate modified cells. The cells can also be modified to express a binding domain.
Abstract:
Alveolar-like macrophages and a method for generating alveolar-like macrophages from hemangioblasts is provided. The method comprises the steps of: i) culturmg the hemangioblasts in a hematopoietic-inducing medium comprising vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), stem cell factor (SCF) and interleukin-3 (IL-3) for a sufficient period of time to generate macrophages, and ii) culturing the macrophages in an alveolar macrophage-inducing medium comprising granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and optionally macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), under suitable conditions and for a sufficient period of time to yield alveolar-like macrophages.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods of producing natural killer (NK) cells using a three-stage expansion and differentiation method with media comprising stem cell mobilizing factors. Also provided herein are methods of suppressing tumor cell proliferation using the NK cells and the NK cell populations produced by the three-stage methods described herein, as well as methods of treating individuals having cancer or a viral infection, comprising administering the NK ce3lls and the NK cell populations produced by the three-stage methods described herein to an individual having the cancer or viral infection.
