An isolated cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL), said CTL being a tolerance inducing cell and substantially depleted of alloreactivity, and wherein said CTL does not comprise a central memory T-lymphocyte (Tcm) phenotype, the CTL being transduced to express a cell surface receptor comprising a T cell receptor signaling module, is disclosed. Methods of generating same and using same are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to genetically modified B cells, including memory cells, differentiated to plasmablasts or plasma cells useful for long tem in vivo expression of a transgene, such as a specific antibody or other protein therapeutic. Also disclosed are methods of producing the cells and methods of treatment.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for culturing hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, while maintaining or increasing the subpopulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The methods and compositions describe us a 3D zwitterionic hydrogel to provide a biocompatible culture microenvironment for culturing encapsulated hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

Methods for preparing CD7-negative, CD3-positive T cells, which optionally express a chimeric antigen receptor, are provided as is a method of using such cells in a method for treating cancer, in particular a CD7+ cancer. In one aspect, the invention provides a method for preparing a population of CD7-negative, CD3-positive T cells by (a) performing a first selection by depleting, from a population of primary immune cells, cells that express CD7 thereby generating a population of CD7-negative cells; (b) performing a second selection by enriching, from the population of CD7-negative cells, T cells that express CD3 thereby generating a population of CD7-negative and CD3-positive T cells, and (c) incubating the population of CD7-negative and CD3-positive T cells in a culture vessel under stimulating conditions, thereby generating stimulated CD7-negative, CD3-positive T cells.

The present disclosure provides processes for isolating target nucleated cells, such as fetal mesenchymal stem cells, from non-nucleated red blood cells, populations of cells obtainable by the processes of the disclosure, and methods of using isolated targeted nucleated cells methods and their progeny for detecting fetal abnormalities and stem cell therapy.

The present document describes compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of a core formula (I) Wherein R1 includes an amino group. These compounds are particularly useful in the formulation and in vivo and ex vivo delivery of nucleic acid and protein therapeutics for preparing and implementing T cell transfection, gene editing, cancer therapies, cancer prophylactics, and in the preparation of vaccines.

Systems and methods to selectively protect therapeutic cells by reducing CD33 expression in the therapeutic cells using base editors and targeting non-therapeutic cells with an anti-CD33 therapy are described. The selective protection results in the enrichment of the therapeutic cells while simultaneously targeting any diseased, malignant and/or non-therapeutic CD33 expressing cells within a subject.

An object of the present invention is to provide a separation substrate having a high megakaryocyte blocking rate and a high platelet permeation rate, and a cell separation filter and a method for producing a platelet which use the same. The separation substrate of the present invention is a separation substrate including non-woven fabric for separating a platelet from a cell suspension containing a megakaryocyte and the platelet, in which an average pore diameter of the separation substrate is 2.0 μm to 15.0 μm, and a thickness of the separation substrate is 10 μm to 500 μm.

A method of treating a subject in need of a non-syngeneic cell or tissue graft is disclosed. The method comprising: (a) transplanting into a subject a dose of T cell depleted immature hematopoietic cells, wherein the T cell depleted immature hematopoietic cells comprise less than 5×10.sup.5 CD3.sup.+ T cells per kilogram body weight of the subject, and wherein the dose comprises at least about 5×10.sup.6 CD34+ cells per kilogram body weight of the subject; and subsequently (b) administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of cyclophosphamide, wherein the therapeutically effective amount comprises 25-200 mg per kilogram body weight, thereby treating the subject.

The present invention relates to a method for memory B cell-specific differentiation induction and to uses thereof and, more specifically, to an anti-CD3 antibody or ligand in a biological sample obtained from and individual, a method for memory B cell-specific differentiation induction comprising a step of treating an anti-CD28 antibody or ligand, and a method for detection a memory B cell which is specific to a specific antigen by using same.
