Mammalian protein expression systems are ideally suited for the high-level production of recombinant eukaryotic secreted and membrane proteins for structural biology applications. Here, we present genetic transduction of HEK293-derived cells using lentivirus as a robust and cost-efficient method for the rapid generation of stable expression cell lines. We describe the features of the lentiviral transfer plasmid pHR-CMV-TetO, as well as detailed protocols for production of lentiviral particles, determination of functional lentiviral titer, infection of expression cells, culture and expansion of the resulting stable cell lines, their adaptation to adherent and suspension growth, and constitutive or inducible milligram-scale protein production. The typical lead-time for a full production run is ~3-4 weeks, with an anticipated yield of up to tens of milligrams of protein per liter of expression medium.

NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 4-like 2 (NDUFA4L2) protein is located in the mitochondria and can regulate cell proliferation. Some studies have shown that the high NDUFA4L2 expression is linked with poor prognosis and cancer progression in various patients with cancers. However, the correlation between NDUFA4L2 and pan-cancer is unknown.

Background: Kidney transplant (KT) recipients at intermediate risk for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection constitute a potential target for individualized prevention strategies informed by the CMV-specific cell-mediated immunity (CMV-CMI). The optimal method for the functional assessment of CMV-CMI in this group remains unclear.
Methods: We included 74 CMV-seropositive KT recipients that did not receive T-cell-depleting induction and were managed by preemptive therapy.
Resistance to complement-mediated lysis of parainfluenza virus 5-infected cells is acquired after transition from acute to persistent infection.

Unlabelled: Persistent viral infections can be an important medical problem, with persistently infected (PI) cells extending viral shedding, maintaining inflammation, and providing potential sources for new viral variants. Given that PI cells can acquire resistance to some innate immune pathways, we tested the hypothesis that complement (C')-mediated lysis of parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5)-infected cells would differ between acute-infected and PI cells. Biochemical and real-time cell viability assays showed effective C'-mediated lysis of A549 lung cells acutely infected with PIV5, through pathways that depended on C3 and C5, but largely independent of C6.

Commutability is where the measurement response for a reference material (RM) is the same as for an individual patient sample with the same concentration of analyte measured using two or more measurement systems. Assessment of commutability is essential when the RM is used in a calibration hierarchy or to ensure that clinical measurements are comparable across different measurement procedures and at different times. The commutability of three new Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) for determining serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], defined as the sum of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], was assessed through an interlaboratory study.

Cellobiose lipids (CBLs) are a class of glycolipid biosurfactants produced by various fungal strains. These compounds have gained significant interest due to their surface-active and antifungal properties, which are comparable to traditional synthetic surfactants and antimicrobials. Despite their potential applicability in various cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and agricultural formulations, significantly less research has been focused on their production and purification in comparison to other glycolipid biosurfactants, such as mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) and sophorolipids.
