Abstract

An increasing demand for human lymphocytes require an efficient, reliable and reproducible lymphocyte process. Here, we compare the Spectra Optia® CMNC protocol with the Optia MNC platform in unmobilised donor lymphocyte collections. To establish and compare the feasibility, efficiency, and practicability of the two apheresis protocols. Data was collected prospectively from 60 non-cytokine stimulate donors who underwent a total of 64 T-cell collection procedures. Of these, 24 procedures were performed in the CMNC cohort and 40 procedures in the MNC cohort. All donors in the CMNC group were related; all donors in the MNC group were donors from a registry. Donor characteristics, procedure parameters and cellular product content were analysed and compared. Donor characteristics and full blood count results were comparable, except the median white blood cell count, which was higher in the CMNC cohort (6.87 vs. 5.58 ×109 /L, P < .005). This resulted in higher lymphocyte (1.95 vs. 1.57 ×109 /L, P < .009) and CD3+ cell counts (1476 vs. 1060/L, P < .02). A total blood volume processed of 2.0 resulted in i) run time (222 vs. 242 min), ii) product volume (192 vs. 183 ml), iii) platelet content (2140 vs. 1345 ×106 /ml, P < .003). CD3+ CE2...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
