  1. 1. Retroviral gene transfer to repopulating hematopoietic cells

    Författare :Thomas Relander; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GLVR-1; VSV-G; amphotropic; GALV; long-term bone marrow culture; NOD SCID; retroviral vector; hematopoietic stem cells; stem cells; gene transfer; gene therapy; fibronectin; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the capacity to maintain hematopoiesis throughout life. HSCs are ideal targets for permanent gene transfer, as the transgene will be expressed in all the progeny of the gene-modified stem cells. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Vector development for suicide gene therapy

    Författare :Alar Aints; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Suicide gene therapy; VP22; selection markers; Ouabain resistance gene; GvHD; retroviral gene transfer;

    Sammanfattning : Gene therapy is used to treat conditions that arise from errors in the genetic makeup of cells either congenital diseases resulting from a deletion or mutation in a gene or malignant diseases where genetic regulation mechanisms have been deranged. Suicide gene therapy is one of several gene therapeutic approaches to treat cancer. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Semliki forest virus-derived packaging system for production of retroviral vectors

    Författare :Ke-Jun Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Moloney murine leukemia virus; Semliki Forest virus; gene therapy; retroviral vector; intron; human bone marrow stromal cell;

    Sammanfattning : Gene therapy is a treatment of disease by transfer of genetic material into somatic cells of an individual. Successful gene therapy depends on a delivery system which can efficiently transfer the gene into target cells and lead to high level expression of the gene. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Genetic modification of human natural killer cells and possible applications thereof

    Författare :Kyriakos Konstantinidis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Natural killer cells; retroviral transduction; interleukin-2; endoplasmic reticulum targeting; green fluorescent protein; multiple myeloma;

    Sammanfattning : Natural killer (NK) cells are dependent on the presence of interleukin-2 (IL-2) for their survival and for their cytotoxicity against tumor cells. Currently, for in vitro expansion of NK cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), IL-2 is of great importance. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Leukaemic relapse after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and the use of the graft-versus-leukaemia effect

    Författare :Stefan Carlens; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :haematopoietic stem cell transplantation; GVHD; GVL; DLI; T-cell culture; retroviral transduction; NK-cell culture;

    Sammanfattning : Survival after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has improved over the last decades due to improvements in immunosuppressive regimens and supportive care. Today the major risk of treatment failure is recurrent leukaemia, a risk which has stayed relatively constant over the years. LÄS MER
