Abstract: Background Non-therapeutic interventions such as practicing good hand hygiene continue to be the mainstay of protection from SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging respiratory viruses. Methods We have evaluated a range of commercially available personal care products including soaps, handwash liquids and alcohol-based hand sanitizers for antiviral efficacy against a clinical isolate of SARS-CoV-2 using internationally accepted standardized protocols at user-relevant contact time-points and product dilutions. Results All the tested products resulted in 3 to 4 log reduction of SARS-CoV-2 titer. Conclusion Our data re-affirms recommendations by global public health authorities that proper hand hygiene can reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral load significantly which should likely limit spread of the contagion.

2. The Critical Role of Personal Care Formulations in Infection Control: Sustaining Preventive Hygiene Practices for COVID-19 and Future Outbreaks

Author: Sayandip Mukherjee, Harshinie Jayasekera, Carol Vincent, Michael Hoptroff, Ashish Yekhe, and Timothy Tobery
Abstract: The emergence and spread of a novel coronavirus designated as SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019 undeniably precipitated the greatest public health disaster of this new millennium. In absence of an available vaccine or virus-specific anti-viral drug, global health authorities issued several public advisories at the beginning of the pandemic and recommended mitigation measures based on the accumulating evidence and growing knowledge of the spread of this respiratory virus largely through airborne droplets and fomites. The recommended measures emphasized practicing respiratory, hand, and surface hygiene to break the chain of infection and reduce transmission of the virus. As a result of these recommendations, consumer products such as soap bars, liquid cleansers, alcohol-based hand sanitizers, oral rinses, and surface cleaners, in addition to masks (surgical, N95, etc) became the most sought-after commodities in markets across the globe. Beyond the public health recommendations, it was incumbent upon the manufacturers of such consumer products to substantiate their product efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and later variants as they emerged, to ensure that the public confidence in the effectiveness of these products was not misplaced. In this article we will review the standard test methodologies and their scientific robustness to determine virucidal efficacy, as well as their relevance to consumer usage; discuss the contributory ingredients in each class of personal care formulations and their mechanisms of virucidal action; and establish the importance of the fully formulated products to ensure they are efficacious under consumer habit-oriented usage. Additionally, we will highlight the impact of hand, body, and oral hygiene practices and compliance in infection control for COVID-19 and their relevance for future outbreaks. Last but not the least, we will provide an overview of the existing regulatory challenges for claiming virucidal benefits from personal care formulations and propose ways in which opportunities to disclose proven benefits of these formulations would be beneficial to the public at large in sustaining efforts towards personal hygiene practices for infection prevention.

3. SG-APSIC1050: Personal care formulations prove effective against evolving variants of SARS-CoV-2: Implications for public health and hygiene

Author: Sayandip Mukherjee, Carol K Vincent, Harshinie W Jayasekera, and Ashish S Yekhe
Abstract: Objectives: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, global health authorities identified and emphasized the importance of practicing proper hand hygiene to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and to diminish the chances of becoming infected. It is well established in the scientific literature that surfactants and alcohols are capable of inactivating enveloped viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. However, given the novel nature of the virus, Unilever adopted an evidence-based approach to demonstrate virucidal efficacy of marketed bar soaps, liquid handwashes, and alcohol-based hand sanitizers against the original and selected variants of SARS-CoV-2. Methods: High titers of clinically isolated and laboratory-propagated SARS-CoV-2 strains were subjected to a range of selected proprietary formulations from Unilever at end-user–relevant dilutions, temperature, and contact duration, and were tested according to the internationally recognized ASTM E-1052 test protocol. Results: All tested personal-care formulations were effective against the parental SARS-CoV-2 strain as well as the β (beta) and δ (delta) variants of concern. More specifically, bar soaps with a varying concentration of total fatty matter content and liquid handwashes with varying levels of total surfactants reduced the viral titer by >99.9% within 20 seconds. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers demonstrated >99.99% reduction of input viral load within 15 seconds of contact with the viral inoculum. Conclusions: In conclusion, we have provided empirical proof that well-designed personal-care formulations that act through generic physicochemical mechanism against the basic structure of the virus particle have high virucidal efficacy against the original and evolved SARS-CoV-2 variants. Furthermore, we argue that due to the broad-spectrum mode of action of these tested formulations, the continued practice of good hand hygiene practices with everyday products holds significant promise as an easily accessible, economic, and effective nontherapeutic public health intervention toward reducing the transmission of present and future variants of SARS-CoV-2 across communities and populations.

4. Personal care formulations demonstrate virucidal efficacy against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern: implications for hand hygiene

Author: Carol K. Vincent, Harshinie W. Jayasekera, Ashish Shrikant Yekhe, and Sayandip Mukherjee
Subjects: Immune system, Viral envelope, Pandemic, Virulence, Biology, Mode of action, Virology, Viral load, Virus, Neutralization
Abstract: The second and third waves of COVID-19 pandemic have largely been driven by the surge of successive SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC). These VOC have rapidly spread through multiple geographies being enabled by high transmission rates and/or high viral load compared to the original parent strain. Consequently, the altered phenotypes of these VOC have posed greater challenges to diagnostic and clinical management of COVID-19. Despite considerable progress being made on vaccine roll out, practicing proper hand hygiene has been advocated as a consistent precautionary intervention as more virulent VOC continue to emerge and spread across geographies.Two variants of concern, namely beta and delta, have recently been shown to escape antibody-mediated neutralization by virtue of acquired mutations in the receptor-binding domain of the viral spike protein which binds to the human ACE2 receptor for cellular entry. In this report we have empirically determined the efficacy of a range of personal care formulations in inactivating the beta and delta variants of SARS-CoV-2. High titres of these variants were exposed to marketed personal care formulations from Unilever under standard in-vitro suspension test-based conditions relevant to end-user habits. All the formulations demonstrated greater than 99.9% reduction in viral infective titres. The rate of inactivation by these products were comparable to that of the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 virus tested under the same conditions. Therefore, it can be concluded that well-designed personal care formulations when tested under consumer-centric conditions, and with proven efficacy against the parent strain of SARS-CoV-2 will continue to be effective against extant and emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2. This is through their broad-spectrum mode of action (disruption of lipid bilayer of the host-derived viral envelope, denaturation of envelop and nucleocapsid proteins, and disruption of genome) which is independent of the escape mutations that facilitate immune evasion or enhanced transmissibility.

Abstract: The role of human saliva in aerosol-based transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has highlighted the need to understand the potential of oral hygiene products to inactivate the virus. Here we examined the efficacy of mouthwashes containing cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) or chlorhexidine (CHX) in inactivating SARS-CoV-2. After 30 seconds contact under standard aqueous conditions CPC mouthwashes achieved a ≥4.0log10PFU/mL reduction in SARS-CoV-2 (USA-WA1/2020) titres whereas comparable products containing CHX achieved 10PFU/mL reduction. Further testing with CPC mouthwashes demonstrated efficacy against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants, with inactivation below the limit of detection observed against the Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351) and Gamma (P.1) variants. Virucidal efficacy of CPC mouthwash was also observed in the presence of human saliva with the product delivering ≥4.0log10PFU/mL reduction in SARS-CoV-2 titres after 30 seconds providing additional evidence for the virucidal efficacy of CPC mouthwashes under simulated physiological conditions. Together these data suggest CPC-based mouthwashes are effective at inactivating SARS-CoV-2 and further supports the use of mouthwash to mitigate the risk of transmission during dentistry procedures.

6. Personal care formulations demonstrate virucidal efficacy against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern: Implications for hand hygiene and public health

Author: Sayandip Mukherjee, Carol K. Vincent, Harshinie W. Jayasekera, and Ashish Shrikant Yekhe
Subjects: viruses, fungi
Abstract: Despite considerable progress being made on vaccine roll out, practicing proper hand hygiene has been advocated as a consistent precautionary intervention against the circulating and emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2. Two variants of concern, namely beta and delta, have been shown to exhibit enhanced transmissibility, high viral load, and ability to escape antibody-mediated neutralization. In this report we have empirically determined the efficacy of selected personal care formulations from Unilever in inactivating the beta and delta variants of SARS-CoV-2 under simulated real-life conditions. All the formulations demonstrated greater than 99.9% reduction in viral infective titres which is comparable to inactivation of the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 virus tested under the same conditions. Therefore, it can be concluded that well-designed personal care formulations when tested under consumer-centric conditions, and with proven efficacy against the parent strain of SARS-CoV-2 will continue to be effective against extant and emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract: A study of the production of prompt J / ψ mesons contained in jets in proton-proton collisions at s = 8 TeV is presented. The analysis is based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.1 fb−1 collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. For events with at least one observed jet, the angular separation between the J / ψ meson and the jet is used to test whether the J / ψ meson is part of the jet. The analysis shows that most prompt J / ψ mesons having energy above 15 GeV and rapidity | y | 1 are contained in jets with pseudorapidity | η jet | 1 . The differential distributions of the probability to have a J / ψ meson contained in a jet as a function of jet energy for a fixed J / ψ energy fraction are compared to a theoretical model using the fragmenting jet function approach. The data agree best with fragmenting jet function calculations that use a long-distance matrix element parameter set in which prompt J / ψ mesons are predicted to be unpolarized. This technique demonstrates a new way to test predictions for prompt J / ψ production using nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics.

Abstract: Substantial progress has been made in the past decade in treating several primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) with gene therapy. Current approaches are based on ex-vivo transfer of therapeutic transgene via viral vectors to patient-derived autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) followed by transplantation back to the patient with or without conditioning. The overall outcome from all the clinical trials targeting different PIDs has been extremely encouraging but not without caveats. Malignant outcomes from insertional mutagenesis have featured prominently in the adverse events associated with these trials and have warranted intense pre-clinical investigation into defining the tendencies of different viral vectors for genomic integration. Coupled with issues pertaining to transgene expression, the therapeutic landscape has undergone a paradigm shift in determining safety, stability and efficacy of gene therapy approaches. In this review, we aim to summarize the progress made in the gene therapy trials targeting ADA-SCID, SCID-X1, CGD and WAS, review the pitfalls, and outline the recent advancements which are expected to further enhance favourable risk benefit ratios for gene therapeutic approaches in the future., Highlights • PID gene therapy is a promising alternative to HSCT in absence of suitable donors. • Gene therapy clinical trials targeting various PIDs have shown significant efficacy. • Retroviral and lentiviral vectors are presently the mainstay of gene delivery. • Insertional mutagenesis and vector silencing constitute the main concerns. • Novel gene delivery approaches are currently being investigated and validated.

Abstract: Retinitis pigmentosa, other inherited retinal diseases, and age-related macular degeneration lead to untreatable blindness because of the loss of photoreceptors. We have recently shown that transplantation of mouse photoreceptors can result in improved vision. It is therefore timely to develop protocols for efficient derivation of photoreceptors from human pluripotent stem (hPS) cells. Current methods for photoreceptor derivation from hPS cells require long periods of culture and are rather inefficient. Here, we report that formation of a transient self-organized neuroepithelium from human embryonic stem cells cultured together with extracellular matrix is sufficient to induce a rapid conversion into retinal progenitors in 5 days. These retinal progenitors have the ability to differentiate very efficiently into Crx(+) photoreceptor precursors after only 10 days and subsequently acquire rod photoreceptor identity within 4 weeks. Directed differentiation into photoreceptors using this protocol is also possible with human-induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells, facilitating the use of patient-specific hiPS cell lines for regenerative medicine and disease modeling. ispartof: STEM CELLS vol:31 issue:2 pages:408-414 ispartof: location:England status: published

Abstract: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with potential for therapeutic applications can be derived from somatic cells via ectopic expression of a set of limited and defined transcription factors. However, due to risks of random integration of the reprogramming transgenes into the host genome, the low efficiency of the process, and the potential risk of virally induced tumorigenicity, alternative methods have been developed to generate pluripotent cells using nonintegrating systems, albeit with limited success. Here, we show that c-KIT+ human first-trimester amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) can be fully reprogrammed to pluripotency without ectopic factors, by culture on Matrigel in human embryonic stem cell (hESC) medium supplemented with the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) valproic acid (VPA). The cells share 82% transcriptome identity with hESCs and are capable of forming embryoid bodies (EBs) in vitro and teratomas in vivo. After long-term expansion, they maintain genetic stability, protein level expression of key pluripotency factors, high cell-division kinetics, telomerase activity, repression of X-inactivation, and capacity to differentiate into lineages of the three germ layers, such as definitive endoderm, hepatocytes, bone, fat, cartilage, neurons, and oligodendrocytes. We conclude that AFSC can be utilized for cell banking of patient-specific pluripotent cells for potential applications in allogeneic cellular replacement therapies, pharmaceutical screening, and disease modeling. ispartof: Molecular Therapy vol:20 issue:10 pages:1953-1967 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract: lthough gammaretroviruses have been hugely im-portant for proof-of-principle demonstrations of efﬁcacyin several speciﬁc clinical applications, other retroviral clas-ses, lentiviruses in particular, are emerging as promisingalternatives. Of the on-going 35 trials using lentivirus-basedvectors (LVs), 24 are in phase I, 9 in phase I/II, and 1 each inphases II and III (source: http://clinicaltrials.gov/). In ad-dition to their ability to stably integrate into the genome oftarget cells for long-term expression of the gene of interest,LVs enjoy a few signiﬁcant advantages through their abilityto transduce nondividing cells and also to allow robusttransgene expression in cells where there is a high proba-bility of epigenetic silencing or position-related variation ofactivity (Trono, 2000; Schambach and Baum, 2008). Early-generation gammaretroviral vectors have been shown to beparticularly prone to insertional mutagenesis through inad-vertent long terminal repeat (LTR)-mediated upregulationof proto-oncogene expression (Ott et al., 2006; Hacein-Bey-Abina et al., 2008; Howe et al., 2008; Stein et al., 2010). Inpart, this risk may be enhanced by the intrinsic preference ofthese vectors to integrate in and around gene regulatoryregions. LVs may therefore have an overall safer integrationproﬁle, although both exhibit a semirandom pattern of in-sertion into the human genome, and this type of risk stillcannot be ignored (Bushman et al., 2005; Cavazzana-Calvoet al., 2010). The safety of LVs has been enhanced in severalways including self-inactivating (SIN) vector design, tat in-dependence, use of insulators, and employment of internaltissue- or lineage-speciﬁc promoter and enhancer sequences,thereby reducing risks of insertional mutagenesis and vectormobilization (Matrai et al., 2010). Even so, longer term ob-servations in the clinical arena will be needed to deﬁne therisk for newer integrating vectors with more clarity. Con-currently, the development of a stable packaging cell line toensure useful batch consistency and size during large-scaleclinical vector production and puriﬁcation under strict GoodManufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions has been at-tempted by various groups. Inducible systems for generatingstable cell lines have been developed to eliminate cytotox-icity from viral gene products required for packaging, suchas the HIV-1-derived protease and Rev, and the heter-ologous VSV-G envelope protein (Xu et al., 2001; Ikeda et al.,2003; Cockrell et al., 2006; Broussau et al., 2008; Kutner et al.,2009; Throm et al., 2009). It is also noteworthy thatreplication-competent LVs (generated by homologous re-combination between packaging and vector constructs) havenot been detected in large-scale production batches based onlatest generation packaging systems and vector design(Merten et al., 2011). In this commentary, we comment on sixoriginal research articles addressing three separate areasrelating to continuing efforts in improving retroviral design,production, and application for preclinical research andclinical applications.In this issue of Human Gene Therapy, Marc Giry-Laterrie`reand colleagues describe a modiﬁed tetracycline (TET)-inducible, polycistronic vector system encoding a selectablemarker and allowing for simple transgene cloning. As notedin their paper, the individual features incorporated in the‘‘polyswitch vector’’ have been previously described byseveral groups. The novelty lies in the combination of thesein a single vector to facilitate stable, inducible, and reversibletransgene expression from a single integration event. Sincethe description of the ﬁrst tetracycline-inducible system byGossen and Bujard (1992), various small-molecule inducersystems have been employed to control the levels and timingof transgene expression both in vitro and in vivo (Vigna et al.,2002; Sirin and Park, 2003; Galimi et al., 2005). However,many have suffered from either low levels of inducibility orleakiness in the absence of the speciﬁc inducer. The modiﬁedpTF promoter used in this current study was shown to havelow basal activity and high inducibility. The authors alsoseparated a selectable marker (regulated by a ubiquitoushuman elongation factor-1a promoter) from the inducibletransgene cassette for enrichment of transduced cells beforeactivating the transgene of interest, and were able to dem-onstrate regulated expression from their vector in cell lines aswell as primary human cells. Of course, it will now beimportant to evaluate the performance of this vector inpreclinical animal models, especially in terms of drug in-ducibility and reversibility on withdrawal. Although this islikely to be useful for a number of applications, there willalso be restrictions on the nature of the transgene dictated

Abstract: A significant difference in the recombination rates between human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and the gammaretroviruses was previously reported, with the former being 10 to 100 times more recombinogenic. It is possible that preferential copackaging of homodimers in the case of gammaretroviruses, like murine leukemia virus (MLV), led to the underestimation of their rates of recombination. To reexamine the recombination rates for MLV, experiments were performed to control for nonrandom copackaging of viral RNA, and it was found that MLV and HIV-1 exhibit similar crossover rates. The implications for control of proviral ploidy and preferential recombination during minus-strand DNA synthesis are discussed.

Abstract: The advent of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology holds great promise to revolutionize personalized cell-based therapies.1,2,3,4,5 Recent advances in gene transfer technology therefore open up exciting possibilities for efficient and safe genetic modification of autologous cells in this context.6 As potential therapeutic applications are being considered, attention has begun to be focused on issues of safety in the clinical arena. This has arisen in part from efforts to understand the biology of reprogramming as well as from an increasing capability to scrutinize the genome and epigenome at high resolution.

Abstract: Trisomy 21 is the most common chromosomal abnormality and is associated primarily with cardiovascular, hematological, and neurological complications. A robust patient-derived cellular model is necessary to investigate the pathophysiology of the syndrome because current animal models are limited and access to tissues from affected individuals is ethically challenging. We aimed to derive induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from trisomy 21 human mid-trimester amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) and describe their hematopoietic and neurological characteristics. Human AFSCs collected from women undergoing prenatal diagnosis were selected for c-KIT(+) and transduced with a Cre-lox-inducible polycistronic lentiviral vector encoding SOX2, OCT4, KLF-4, and c-MYC (50,000 cells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) 1-5 for 72 h). The embryonic stem cell (ESC)-like properties of the AFSC-derived iPSCs were established in vitro by embryoid body formation and in vivo by teratoma formation in RAG2(-/-), γ-chain(-/-), C2(-/-) immunodeficient mice. Reprogrammed cells retained their cytogenetic signatures and differentiated into specialized hematopoietic and neural precursors detected by morphological assessment, immunostaining, and RT-PCR. Additionally, the iPSCs expressed all pluripotency markers upon multiple rounds of freeze-thawing. These findings are important in establishing a patient-specific cellular platform of trisomy 21 to study the pathophysiology of the aneuploidy and for future drug discovery.

Abstract: Gene therapy presents an attractive alternative to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for treating patients suffering from primary immunodeficiency disorder (PID). The conceptual advantage of gene correcting a patient's autologous HSCs lies in minimizing or completely avoiding immunological complications arising from allogeneic transplantation while conferring the same benefits of immune reconstitution upon long-term engraftment. Clinical trials targeting X-linked chronic granulomatous disorder (X-CGD) have shown promising results in this context. However, long-term clinical benefits in these patients have been limited by issues of poor engraftment of gene-transduced cells coupled with transgene silencing and vector induced clonal proliferation. Novel vectors incorporating safety features such as self-inactivating (SIN) mutations in the long terminal repeats (LTRs) along with synthetic promoters driving lineage-restricted sustainable expression of the gp91phox transgene are expected to resolve the current pitfalls and require rigorous preclinical testing. In this chapter, we have outlined a protocol in which X-CGD mouse model derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been utilized to develop a platform for investigating the efficacy and safety profiles of novel vectors prior to clinical evaluation.

Abstract: Stem cells derived from adipose tissue are a potentially important source for autologous cell therapy and disease modeling, given fat tissue accessibility and abundance. Critical to developing standard protocols for therapeutic use is a thorough understanding of their potential, and whether this is consistent among individuals, hence, could be generally inferred. Such information is still lacking, particularly in children. To address these issues, we have used different methods to establish stem cells from adipose tissue (adipose-derived stem cells [ADSCs], adipose explant dedifferentiated stem cells [AEDSCs]) from several pediatric patients and investigated their phenotype and differentiation potential using monolayer and micromass cultures. We have also addressed the overlooked issue of selective induction of cartilage differentiation. ADSCs/AEDSCs from different patients showed a remarkably similar behavior. Pluripotency markers were detected in these cells, consistent with ease of reprogramming to induced pluripotent stem cells. Significantly, most ADSCs expressed markers of tissue-specific commitment/differentiation, including skeletogenic and neural markers, while maintaining a proliferative, undifferentiated morphology. Exposure to chondrogenic, osteogenic, adipogenic, or neurogenic conditions resulted in morphological differentiation and tissue-specific marker upregulation. These findings suggest that the ADSC “lineage-mixed” phenotype underlies their significant plasticity, which is much higher than that of chondroblasts we studied in parallel. Finally, whereas selective ADSC osteogenic differentiation was observed, chondrogenic induction always resulted in both cartilage and bone formation when a commercial chondrogenic medium was used; however, chondrogenic induction with a transforming growth factor β1-containing medium selectively resulted in cartilage formation. This clearly indicates that careful simultaneous assessment of bone and cartilage differentiation is essential when bioengineering stem cell-derived cartilage for clinical intervention.

Abstract: Human mid-trimester amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC) have promising applications in regenerative medicine, being broadly multipotent with an intermediate phenotype between embryonic (ES) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Despite this propluripotent phenotype, AFSC are usually cultured in adherence in a serum-based expansion medium, and how expansion in conditions sustaining pluripotency might affect their phenotype remains unknown. We recently showed that early AFSC from first trimester amniotic fluid, which endogenously express Sox2 and Klf4, can be reprogrammed to pluripotency without viral vectors using the histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid (VPA). Here, we show that mid-trimester AFSC cultured under MSC conditions contained a subset of cells endogenously expressing telomerase, CD24, OCT4, C-MYC, and SSEA4, but low/null levels of SOX2, NANOG, KLF4, SSEA3, TRA-1-60, and TRA-1-81, with cells unable to form embryoid bodies (EBs) or teratomas. In contrast, AFSC cultured under human ESC conditions were smaller in size, grew faster, formed colonies, upregulated OCT4 and C-MYC, and expressed KLF4 and SOX2, but not NANOG, SSEA3, TRA-1-60, and TRA-1-81. Supplementation with VPA for 5 days further upregulated OCT4, KLF4, and SOX2, and induced expression of NANOG, SSEA3, TRA-1-60, and TRA-1-81, with cells now able to form EBs and teratomas. We conclude that human mid-trimester AFSC, which may be isolated autologously during pregnancy without ethics restriction, can acquire pluripotent characteristics without the use of ectopic factors. Our data suggest that this medium-dependant approach to pluripotent mid-trimester AFSC reflects true reprogramming and not the selection of prepluripotent cells.

Abstract: Lentiviral vectors (lentivectors) are effective for stimulation of cell-mediated and humoral immunity following subcutaneous and intramuscular immunization. However, lentivector genome integration carries a risk of perturbation of host gene expression. Here, we demonstrate that lentivectors with multiple mutations that prevent integration are also effective immunogens. First, systemic CD8 + T-cell responses to the model antigen ovalbumin were detected following subcutaneous injection of nonintegrating lentivectors. Transfer of transgenic OT1 T cells demonstrated that antigen presentation persisted for at least 30 days. Furthermore, an enhanced CD8 + T-cell response, peaking at 7 days, was stimulated by coexpression of p38 MAP kinase or an NF-κB activator from the same vector. Second, we demonstrated systemic CD8 + T-cell and antibody responses to the secreted hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen expressed from a nonintegrating lentivector injected intramuscularly. The induction, specificity, and kinetics of antibody production closely mimicked those of natural HBV infection. In this case, both the vector genome and the immune response were maintained for at least 2 months. Together, our data indicate that nonintegrating lentivectors can be employed to generate effective vaccines.

Abstract: It seems unbelievable but it is true – cells within an organism are genetically almost identical and yet they are as dissimilar structurally and functionally as the human mind can conceive. The neurons which conduct the nerve impulses, the villi which line the gastrointestinal tract, the retinal cells which are responsible for our vision, and the immune cells which act as the body’s sentinel have hardly anything in common between them. All these highly specialized cells are said to be terminally differentiated - they have lost their ability to become something else. Therefore, it was heralded as a significant breakthrough in science, when more than a decade ago, Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Scotland demonstrated that a mature differentiated somatic cell taken from an adult mammal could be reprogrammed to give rise to an entire animal, which came to be known to the entire world as Dolly the sheep (Campbell 1996, 64).

Abstract: The employment of HIV-1-based vectors in clinical trials is controversial mainly due to the lethal nature of the virus. HIV-2 is less pathogenic in nature and therefore is likely to be safer for vector design and production. We developed HIV-2-based self-inactivating vectors in which 520 bp out of 554 bp of the viral U3 was deleted. Interestingly, high titers were obtained only when an exogenous promoter was used to drive expression of viral RNA. It was found that the vectors could target a wide range of mammalian cell types including primary neuronal cells and could yield long term expression. It is also noteworthy that the HIV-2 vectors could be effectively cross-packaged into HIV-1 core, which might provide for enhanced safety by reducing the recombination potential of the system.

Abstract: Murine models of human genetic disorders provide a valuable tool for investigating the scope for application of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Here we present a proof-of-concept study to demonstrate generation of iPSC from a mouse model of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD), and their successful differentiation into haematopoietic progenitors of the myeloid lineage. We further demonstrate that additive gene transfer using lentiviral vectors encoding gp91(phox) is capable of restoring NADPH-oxidase activity in mature neutrophils derived from X-CGD iPSC. In the longer term, correction of iPSC from human patients with CGD has therapeutic potential not only through generation of transplantable haematopoietic stem cells, but also through production of large numbers of autologous functional neutrophils.
