Molecular cloning of DNA from a sorted human minichromosome.

Published: March 1991

A human supernumerary minichromosome (MC), found in a newborn baby and sorted on a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS-440) has been previously described [Ferretti et al., Cytotechnology 1 (1987) 7-12]. We report here on the construction of a library of EcoRI fragments in the phage lambda gtWES.lambda B', starting from 7.5 ng of MC DNA, and describe the isolation of single-copy DNA clones from the library in a two-step procedure. We employed in situ hybridization to unambiguously select the clones specific for the MC, and used three of these clones to demonstrate that it originated from chromosome 9.

The externalization of Phosphatidylserine (PS) from the inner surface of the plasma membrane to the outer surface of the plasma membrane is an emblematic event during apoptosis and serves as a potent "eat-me" signal for the efferocytosis of apoptotic cells. Although less well understood, PS is also externalized on live cells in the tumor microenvironment and on live virus-infected cells whereby it serves as an immune modulatory signal that drives tolerance and immune escape. Given the importance of PS in cancer immunology and immune escape, PS-targeting monoclonal antibodies have been characterized with promising immunotherapeutic potential.

One of the most significant bacteriophage technologies is phage display, in which heterologous peptides are exhibited on the virion surface. This work describes the display of λ decorative protein D linked to the E protein domain III of Zika virus (D-ZE), to the GFP protein (D-GFP), or to different domain III epitopes of the E protein (D-TD), exhibited on the surface of an in vitro evolved lambda phage (λ). This phage harbors a gene D deletion and was subjected to directed evolution using Escherichia coli W3110/pD-ZE as background.

Development of a broad-spectrum epitope-based vaccine against Streptococcus pneumoniae.

PLoS One

Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR), Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (SPN) is a significant pathogen causing pneumonia and meningitis, particularly in vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. Available pneumonia vaccines have limitations since they only cover particular serotypes and have high production costs. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant SPN strains further underscores the need for a new, cost-effective, broad-spectrum vaccine.
