Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
Project description:Excisional biopsies of lymph nodes involved by follicular lymphoma (FL) were obtained from previously-untreated, advanced-stage patients to generate heterohybridomas and idiotype vaccine for a clinical trial (PMID: 21632504). Residual, viably-cryopreserved suspensions of disaggregated cells were magnetically sorted by negative selection into nominal B (CD3-depleted) and non-B (NB; CD19- and CD20-depleted) fractions. Total RNA was extracted from each fraction for separate gene expression profiling (GEP). Technically-satisfactory GEP results were obtained from both fractions for 43 patients.
