Stat5+/- mice were bred into the C57BL/6 background. Stat5+/- mice were intercrossed and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were isolated from 12.5-13.5-day WT or Stat5-/- fetuses. The retroviral-expression vector carrying a wild-type Stat5A gene based on an MSCV-IRES-GFP backbone (gift from Richard...
CD4+ T cells that selectively produce interleukin (IL)-17, are critical for host defense and autoimmunity1-4. Crucial for T helper17 (Th17) cells in vivo5,6, IL-23 has been thought to be incapable of driving initial differentiation. Rather, IL-6 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 have been argu...
Programmed genetic rearrangements in lymphocytes require transcription at antigen receptor genes to promote accessibility for initiating double-strand break (DSB) formation critical for DNA recombination and repair. Here we show that activated B cells deficient in the PTIP component of the MLL3 (mix...
One of the most successful therapies in cancer treatment involves immune checkpoint blockade using the anti-programmed death-1 (anti-PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody, which targets the interaction between tumors and T cells. However, the overall response rate is < 30% in patients wit...
To investigate the effectiveness of SPIDER identifying the mRNA interactome, we carried out the SPIDER assay by incubating biotin-oligo(dT) or biotin control directly with cell lysates of THP-1 cells
