Objective: To construct a lentiviral expression vector of human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and identify its expression in dendritic cells (DCs).
Methods: Human CEA-encoding sequence was amplified, purified, ligated with lentiviral vector plasmid pLentiGFP and verified by sequencing. The verified recombinant vector plasmid (pLentiGFP-CEA), the packaging plasmid p 8.2 and pVSV-G were transfected into 293T cells by Lipofectamine(TM) 2000 reagent. The supernatant of the cultured 293T cells was collected to infect the DCs. The expression of CEA in the transfected DCs was assayed by RT-PCR and Western blotting.
Results: CEA lentiviral vector was highly expressed in the transfected DCs as observed using fluorescence microscope 48 h after the the transfection. The human CEA gene was successfully amplified by RT-PCR with a length of about 2100 bp. Western blotting also showed CEA expression in the transfected DCs.
Conclusion: The human CEA lentiviral expression vector has been successfully constructed and the functional CEA protein can be expression in the transfected DCs. This facilitates further studies of the function of CEA at the molecular level.

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy, and there is still an unmet medical need to deepen basic research on its origins and mechanisms of progression. Patient-derived organoids of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC-PDO) are a powerful model to study the complexity of ovarian cancer as they maintain, in vitro, the mutational profile and cellular architecture of the cancer tissue. Genetic modifications by lentiviral transduction allow novel insights into signaling pathways and the potential identification of biomarkers regarding the evolution of drug resistance.

Background: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The role of macrophages as proficient antigen-presenting cells in aGVHD is a prominent area of investigation in contemporary research. The association between long noncoding RNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (lncRNA NEAT1) and the macrophage function is of significant interest.

Objectives: To evaluate the manufacturability, efficacy and safety of allogeneic CD19 chimeric antigen receptor double-negative T cells (CD19-CAR-DNTs) as an off-the-shelf therapeutic cell product.
Methods: A membrane proteome array was used to assess the off-target binding of CD19-CAR. DNTs derived from healthy donors were transduced with lentiviral vectors encoding the CD19-CAR.
