Two cell lines isolated from Pam 212 cells (SCC): Pam LY (lymph node metastasis) and Pam LU (lung metastasis) from metastated in vivo growth in mouse. These stably established cell lines exhibited higher potential to metastasize to lymph nodes and lungs, respectively, in mouse models than their parental Pam 212 cells.

Bag6 (BCL2 associated athanogene 6) is a multifunctional chaperone involved in tail anchored protein biogenesis, endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation, and degradation of mislocalized membrane proteins. It is the central component of a stable three chaperone complex that also contains two cofactors-Ubl4A and Trc35. This complex acts in conjunction with the co-chaperone SGTA to channel proteins bearing an exposed hydrophobic segment in the cytosol to avoid protein aggregation.

The invention concerns novel capsid-free AAV vectors that can be used for gene delivery and gene therapy applications. The invention provides for a linear nucleic acid molecule comprising in this order: a first adeno-associated virus (AAV) inverted terminal repeat (ITR), a nucleotide sequence of interest, and a second AAV ITR, wherein said nucleic acid molecule is devoid of AAV capsid protein coding sequences. The said nucleic acid molecule can be applied to a host at repetition without eliciting an immune response.

A highly efficient method to genetically modify natural killer (NK) cells to induce expression of high affinity CD16 (HA-CD16) through mRNA electroporation, to potentiate NK cell-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). ADCC is mediated by CD16+ NK cells following adoptive NK cell transfer, but most humans express CD16 which has a relatively low affinity for IgG1 antibodies.

Plasmid DNA (clone pNL4-3) that produces infectious HIV-1 virus particles in a wide variety of cells as described in the J Virol. 1986 Aug;59(2):284-91 and developed in the laboratory of Dr. Malcolm Martin at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Plasmid pSJ136-EF-A — A plasmid encoding mutant anthrax toxin proteins such as lethal factor (LF) or edema factor (EF). Anthrax toxin and anthrax toxin fusion proteins may be used as therapeutic agents for cancer.

Plasmid PSJ115-LFOS — A plasmid expressing anthrax toxin proteins such as lethal factor (LF) or edema factor (EF) which has the original n-terminal amino acid sequence.

A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal rat antibody specific to mouse CD25 (IL-2 receptor, alpha chain) (clone 3C7) as described in J Immunol. 1984 Oct;133(4):1970-5 and developed by the laboratory of Dr. Ethan Shevach at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal rat antibody specific to mouse CD25 (IL-2 receptor) (clone 7D4) as described in Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1983 Sep;80(18):5694-8 and developed by the laboratory of Dr. Ethan Shevach at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal hamster antibody specific to mouse CD69 (early activation marker) (clone H1.2F3) as described in J Immunol. 1988 Jul 15;141(2):369-76 and developed by the laboratory of Dr. Ethan Shevach at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
