Mimotope vaccine efficacy gets a "boost" from native tumor antigens
Tumor-associated antigen (TAA)-targeting mimotope peptides exert more prominent immunostimulatory functions than unmodified TAAs, with the caveat that some T-cell clones exhibit a relatively low affinity for TAAs. Combining mimotope-based vaccines with native TAAs in a prime-boost setting significantly improves antitumor immunity.
متن کاملPatient-specific embryonic stem cells derived from human SCNT blastocysts.
Patient-specific, immune-matched human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are anticipated to be of great biomedical importance for studies of disease and development and to advance clinical deliberations regarding stem cell transplantation. Eleven hESC lines were established by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) of skin cells from patients with disease or injury into donated oocytes. These lines, n...

متن کاملHistone H1 gets Pin’d onto chromatin
Histone H1 gets Pin'd onto chromatin T he proline isomerase Pin1 limits chromosome decon-densation by stabilizing a histone's association with chromatin, Raghuram et al. reveal. Histone H1 incorporates into nucleosomes to enhance chromatin folding and condensation. Phosphory-lation by the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk2 promotes H1's dissociation from chromatin, perhaps by altering the conformatio...
متن کاملThe histone chaperone Spt6 coordinates histone H3K27 demethylation and myogenesis.
Histone chaperones affect chromatin structure and gene expression through interaction with histones and RNA polymerase II (PolII). Here, we report that the histone chaperone Spt6 counteracts H3K27me3, an epigenetic mark deposited by the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) and associated with transcriptional repression. By regulating proper engagement and function of the H3K27 demethylase KDM6A...
