An Efficient Electroporation Protocol for the Genetic Modification of Mammalian Cells
Genetic modification of cell lines and primary cells is an expensive and cumbersome approach, often involving the use of viral vectors. Electroporation using square-wave generating devices, like Lonza's Nucleofector, is a widely used option, but the costs associated with the acquisition of electroporation kits and the transient transgene expression might hamper the utility of this methodology. ...
متن کاملOptimizing dendritic cell function by genetic modification.
The potential for effective immune therapy for cancer has been met with considerable enthusiasm because of a number of fundamental advances in our understanding of the immune responses to cancer. First, previous questions about the existence of tumor antigens have largely been answered, since tumorassociated and tumor-specific antigens clearly exist and, when they are recognized by antigen-spec...
متن کاملHighly efficient gene delivery by mRNA electroporation in human hematopoietic cells: superiority to lipofection and passive pulsing of mRNA and to electroporation of plasmid cDNA for tumor antigen loading of dendritic cells.
Designing effective strategies to load human dendritic cells (DCs) with tumor antigens is a challenging approach for DC-based tumor vaccines. Here, a cytoplasmic expression system based on mRNA electroporation to efficiently introduce tumor antigens into DCs is described. Preliminary experiments in K562 cells using an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) reporter gene revealed that mRNA el...
متن کاملDNA viruses and genetic modification of dendritic cells.
An alternative approach to the use of tumor-peptide-loaded dendritic cells (DC) in immunotherapy would be the use of genetically modified DC using viral vectors expressing tumor-associated antigens (TAA). However, viruses have developed several immune escape mechanisms and, thus, one has to study the interaction between viruses and DC before these viruses can be used as an alternative strategy....
متن کاملEfficient responses in a murine renal tumor model by electroloading dendritic cells with whole-tumor lysate.
Electroporation of dendritic cells (DCs) with tumor lysate elicited greater antitumor responses in vitro and in vivo, using less lysate than standard coincubation. Electroloaded DCs had normal surface marker expression and matured into competent antigen-presenting cells. In a renal carcinoma (RENCA) model, mice were pretreated with lysate-loaded DCs before tumor challenge. Mice that received DC...
