Chitosan thermogels for local T lymphocyte delivery for cancer immunotherapy
Background The success of systemic adoptive T cell transfer lies in the capacity of the antigen-experienced cytotoxic T lymphocytes to access and persist within the tumour microenvironment. The mimicking of tertiary lymphoid structures that promote a protective immune response against cancer can be achieved using an injectable biocompatible matrix that releases anti-tumour, proliferating T lymp...
متن کاملYeast DNA-repair gene RAD14 encodes a zinc metalloprotein with affinity for ultraviolet-damaged DNA.
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients suffer from a high incidence of skin cancers due to a defect in excision repair of UV light-damaged DNA. Of the seven XP complementation groups, A-G, group A represents a severe and frequent form of the disease. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD14 gene is a homolog of the XP-A correcting (XPAC) gene. Like XP-A cells, rad14-null mutants are defective in the inc...
متن کاملDecorin is a Zn2+ metalloprotein.
Decorin is ubiquitously distributed in the extracellular matrix of mammals and a member of the proteoglycan family characterized by a core protein dominated by leucine-rich repeat motifs. We show here that decorin extracted from bovine tissues under denaturing conditions or produced in recombinant "native" form by cultured mammalian cells has a high affinity for Zn2+ as demonstrated by equilibr...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Thermus Aquaticus DNA Polymerase Gene, Using a Thermo-Inducible Expression Vector
DNA polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus strain YT1 was amplified using VENTTM DNA po-lymerase and cloned under the control of X.PR promoter and expression was induced by a shift in tern perature. The culture was then sonicated, and after centrifugation the lysate was treated with polyethyleneimine followed by a salting-out step. Finally the protein was precipitated with ammonium sulfate and...
متن کاملIs the olfactory receptor a metalloprotein?
The sense of smell is arguably our most primal faculty and also the least understood. Even our own olfactorily impaired species is capable of detecting approximately 10,000 distinct scents [Buck, L. & Axel, R. (1991) Cell 65, 175-187]. To achieve that amazing diversity, mammals have approximately 1,000 olfactory genes, which accounts for approximately 3% of their entire genome [Mombaerts, P. (1...
