RAPID COMMUNICATION kat : A High - Efficiency Retroviral Transduction System for Primary Human T Lymphocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a novel retroviral packaging system in which high titer amphotropic retrovirus was produced without the need to generate stable producer clones. kat expression vectors, which produce high levels of retroviral vector transcripts and retroviral packaging functions, were transfected into 293 cells followed by virus harvest 48 hours posttransfection. Viral titers as high as 3.8 proviral copies/cell/mL of frozen supernatant in 3T3 cells were obtained, 10to 50-fold greater than transient viral titers reported using 3T3-based retroviral packaging lines. Cocultivation of primary human CD8+ T lymphocytes after transient transfection of 293 cells with kat plasmids resulted in transduction efficiencies of 10% to 40%. 5to 10-

متن کاملHigh-efficiency retroviral-mediated gene transfer into human and nonhuman primate peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) are primary targets for gene therapy of inherited and acquired disorders of the immune system. We describe the development of an optimized transduction system that provides for high-efficiency retrovirus-mediated gene transfer into primary PBLs. This optimized transduction protocol combines centrifugation of the lymphocytes (1000 x g) at the inception of tran...
متن کاملHigh-efficiency gene transfer into normal and adenosine deaminase-deficient T lymphocytes is mediated by transduction on recombinant fibronectin fragments.
Primary human T lymphocytes are powerful targets for genetic modification, although the use of these targets in human gene therapy protocols has been hampered by low levels of transduction. We have shown previously that significant increases in the transduction of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells with retroviral vectors can be obtained by the colocalization of the retrovirus and target c...
متن کاملRAPID COMMUNICATION Targeting of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Cells by CDS+ T Lymphocytes Armed With Universal T-cell Receptors
We have developed an immunotherapeutic approach with potential application in the treatment of viral and malignant disease. We show that primary CD8' T cells isolated from peripheral blood can be genetically modified by retroviral transduction to express high levels of universal (major histocompatibility complex-unrestricted) chimeric T-cell receptors specific for human immunodeficiency viru...
متن کاملExpression System for the Cloning of Tumor Antigens Development of a Retrovirus-based Complementary DNA
A new retroviral system has been developed for the generation of a cDNA library and the functional cloning of tumor antigens. These retroviral vectors contain a cytomegalovirus promoter in the 5' long terminal repeat, an extended packaging signal for rapid production of high-titer retroviral particles, and many convenient cloning sites for cDNA library construction. The vesicular stomatitis vir...
