Role of lymphocytes producing GM-CSF in human spondyloarthritis

PCR-mediated Expression of the Human GM-CSF Gene in Escherichia coli

Four exons of the human genomic GM-CSF gene were assembled together using gene splicing by overlap extension (SOE) method. The resulting nucleotide sequence was cloned in the pET23a(+) ex‌pression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage T7 transcription and translation signals. The construct obtained was Transferred into the E. coli strain, BL21(DE3) pLysS and IPTG was used for inducti...

PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE CLONED HUMAN GM-CSF GENE EXPRESSED IN ESCHERICHIA COLI

The human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulation factor (hGM-CSF) gene was cloned in the pET 23a( +) expression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage T7 transcription and translation signals. The hGM-CSF gene was transferred into E. coli strainBL21 (DE3)pLysS andIPTG was used for induction of GM-CSF gene. Production of the target protein was obtained as revealed by ELISA and ...

Optimization of Key Factors in Serum Free Medium for Production of Human Recombinant GM-CSF Using Response Surface Methodology

Researchers add serum to a classical medium at concentrations of 5 to 10% (v/v) to grow cellsin-vitro culture media. Unfortunately, serum is a poorly defined culture medium componentas its composition can vary considerably while serum-free cell culture media are an excellentalternative to standard serum-containing media and offer several major advantages. Advantagesof us...

Immunoregulatory Role of GM-CSF in Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Role of GM-CSF signaling in cell-based tumor immunization.

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a potent adjuvant in cancer vaccination; however, the specific role of endogenous GM-CSF remains unknown. We performed cell-based vaccination in 2 tumor models. First, we vaccinated C57BL/6 mice lacking either GM-CSF, IL-5, or beta-common chain (betac), a receptor subunit essential for GM-CSF and IL-5 signaling, with melanoma cells en...
