Example 25
In a preferred embodiment, blood stem/progenitor cells, and target cells are transfected with the therapeutic vector(s) (or associated therapeutic virus) in vivo by introduction of the therapeutic vector(s) into the host blood, tissues, or bone marrow, etc. The greatest benefit may be achieved by modifying a large number of endogenous target and stem/progenitor cells. This may be accomplished by using an appropriately-sized, catheter-like device, or needle to inject the therapeutic vector(s) into the venous or arterial circulation. In a preferred embodiment, the virus is pseudotyped with VSV-G envelope glycoprotein and native HIV-1 env proteins.

Extracting Haematopoietic Stem Cells from Peripheral Blood
Upon giving consent the donors are given a granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and/or a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), e.g. Neupogen® (commercially available from Amgen Inc. USA) to help harvest peripheral haematopoietic stem cells with minimal possible discomfort to donors. Cell surface polypeptide markers are used for identifying long-lasting multipotent stem-cells. Suitably markers may include CD 34+, CD59+, Thy1+, CD38low/−, C-kit−/low, and lin−.

More about "Peripheral Blood Stem Cells"
These immature cells can be mobilized from the bone marrow and collected from the peripheral blood, making them a valuable resource for stem cell transplantation and regenerative medicine applications.
PBSCs are often used in conjunction with other key components and processes to optimize stem cell research and therapies.
For instance, Penicillin/streptomycin and L-glutamine are commonly added to cell culture media to prevent bacterial growth and support cell health.
IMDM (Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium) is a widely used basal medium that provides essential nutrients for cell proliferation and differentiation.
Anti-CD34-coated magnetic beads can be utilized to isolate and enrich the population of PBSCs, which express the CD34 surface marker.
The cytokine TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha) is known to stimulate the mobilization of PBSCs from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood.
To support the growth and expansion of PBSCs, researchers often supplement their culture media with Heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (Heat-inactivated FBS), which provides essential growth factors and nutrients.
RPMI 1640 is another commonly used basal medium that supports the cultivation of various cell types, including PBSCs.
The MTS assay is a colorimetric method used to assess the metabolic activity and viability of PBSCs and other cell populations.
The Spectra Optia is a specialized apheresis system that can efficiently collect and concentrate PBSCs from the peripheral blood for subsequent use in transplantation or other regenerative medicine applications.
By leveraging these tools and techniques, researchers can optimize their PBSC research workflows, leading to improved outcomes in stem cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine.
