Transfection of murine dendritic cell line (JAWS II) by a nonviral transfection reagent.
Dendritic cells are the most potent antigen-presenting cells that initiate and modulate the host immune system. Based on their immunostimulatory activity, a variety of strategies have been developed to use dendritic cells as vaccines and immunotherapeutic agents against infection and cancer. Genetically modified dendritic cells are useful for immunotherapeutic purposes because of their sustaine...
متن کاملCell coupling in mouse pancreatic beta-cells measured in intact islets of Langerhans.
The perforated whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique was applied to functionally identified beta-cells in intact mouse pancreatic islets to study the extent of cell coupling between adjacent beta-cells. Using a combination of current- and voltage-clamp recordings, the total gap junctional conductance between beta-cells in an islet was estimated to be 1.22 nS. The analysis of the...
متن کاملIsolated Pancreatic Islets
It is the aim of this study to characterize and quantify the cells within isolated rat islets that express MHC class 11 antigens. A set of five monoelonal antibodies and two polyclonal antisera of defined specificlty were used in combination with a newly devised procedure for three·dimensional immunofluorescence evaluation of intact islets. It is shown that in addition to passen· ger cells, suc...
متن کاملIsolated Mouse Pancreatic Islets
Inosine is a potent primary stimulus of insulin secretion from isolated mouse islets. The inosine-induced insulin secretion was totally depressed during starvation, but was completely restored by the addition of 5mmi-caffeine to the medium and partially restored by the addition of 5mM-glucose. Mannoheptulose (3mg/ml) potentiated the eflect of lOmM-inosine in islets from fed mice. The mechanism ...
متن کاملMRI of transplanted pancreatic islets.
A promising treatment method for type 1 diabetes mellitus is transplantation of pancreatic islets containing beta-cells. The aim of this study was to develop an MR technique to monitor the distribution and fate of transplanted pancreatic islets in an animal model. Twenty-five hundred purified and magnetically labeled islets were transplanted through the portal vein into the liver of experimenta...
