A3, generated as a monoclonal antibody against rat malignant fibrous histiocytoma cells, recognizes somatic stem cells in rats. We analyzed the distribution of A3-positive cells in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colonic lesions consisting of regenerating mucosa and fibrosis. Male 6-week-old F344 rats were administered 5% DSS in drinking water for 5 to 7 days, and lesions at recovery stage were also examined. In untreated control adult colons, A3-positive cells are localized around the crypts where stem cell niche is formed. Histopathologically, in colons of DSS-administered rats, mucosal atrophy, inflammatory cell infiltration, and fibrosis were observed in the lamina propria; thereafter, mucosal epithelia were desquamated, and crypts were decreased gradually with decrease in surrounding A3-positive cells. At the early recovery stage, crypts showed regeneration with reappearance of A3-positive cells. Interestingly, A3-positive cells aggregated in desquamated mucosa surface of fibrosis. Aggregated A3-positive cells coexpressed with vimentin, Thy-1, and partly CK19 but did not react simultaneously with α-SMA. Likely, aggregated A3-positive cells may be rescue cells with nature of both mesenchymal and epithelial cells to maintain self-renewal after injury in the colon. A3 antibody would become a useful tool to investigate the participation of stem cells in rat colonic lesions.

Article Synopsis
- Adoptive cell therapy using TCR-engineered T-cells shows promise in targeting tumor cells, especially cancer-testis antigens in solid tumors, despite limited testing in this area compared to blood cancers.
- The study introduced an innovative protocol for expanding MAGE-A3-specific T-cells and utilized advanced techniques like single-cell multi-omic analysis and lentiviral engineering to enhance T-cell effectiveness.
- Results indicated a significant increase in MAGE-A3-specific T-cells, identification of a dominant T-cell receptor, and effective cytotoxic activity against MAGE-A3-positive tumors, highlighting the success of their methodology in generating potent anti-tumor T-cells.

Background: The cancer-testis protein melanoma antigen A3 (MAGE-A3) is highly expressed in a broad range of malignant tumor forms. It has been confirmed that affibody molecules, a novel family of small (∼6.5 kDa) targeting proteins, are useful agents for molecular imaging and targeted tumor treatment.

In the present study, there was evaluation of cryocapacitation-associated changes, apoptotic-like changes, deprotamination, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and in vitro sperm functional attributes in Barbari bucks after freezing-thawing. The correlation between deprotamination and sperm functional characteristics was established. Using immunoblotting procedures, there was detection of the presence of a single 28-kDa protein band corresponding to protamine-1.

A3, generated as a monoclonal antibody against rat malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH)-derived cloned cells, recognizes somatic stem cells (bone-marrow/hair follicle stem cells). We investigated the distribution of cells immunoreactive to A3 in the developing rat intestine (particularly, the colon), focusing on the ontogenic kinetics of A3-positive cells. In the rat intestine, A3 labeled spindle-shaped stromal cells localized in the submucosa and labeled endothelial cells of capillaries in the lamina propria forming villi in the early development stage.
