简介:AbstractObjective:It has recently been shown that the melanoma antigen gene (MAGE) family is expressed in various tumor cell lines but silent in normal tissues, except germ cell lines. Mageb4, a member of the MAGE family, is highly expressed in the testis and homologous in humans and mice. Whole-exome sequencing studies have identified Mageb4 as a possible X-linked cause of inherited male infertility. However, the function of Mageb4 protein remains largely unknown.Methods:Using clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) 9 technology, we generated a Mageb4 knockout mouse model (Mageb4-/Y) to explore the role of this gene in spermatogenesis.Results:First, immunostaining of testicular cells showed that Mageb4 is localized in the cytoplasm of spermatogonia. Second, Mageb4-/Y male mice displayed significant increases in apoptosis. However, Mageb4-/Y male mice showed normal fertility, including normal sperm concentration, sperm motility, and testicular and epididymal histology.Conclusions:These findings suggest that, despite testis-exclusive expression, Mageb4 is dispensable for mouse spermatogenesis. Future research should focus on the role of this gene in apoptosis, aiming to provide clinical guidance regarding male infertility.
简介:CMV特定的免疫为人的cytomegalovirus(HCMV)的控制是必要的感染。干细胞移植在hemopoietic系统的疾病的一个范围的管理广泛地被使用。病人们在早posttransplant时期深刻地是immunosuppressed,并且cytomegalovirus(CMV)的复活仍然是病态和死亡的一个重要原因。CMV特定的CD8+T房间克隆的采纳转移被显示了减少病毒的复活的率;然而,为采纳转移的房间的前vivo生产是集中、昂贵的劳动。我们这里用CMV特定的epitope肽报导一个修改肽刺激方法为CMV特定的CTL的产生刺激PBMC。这个方法允许CMV特定的CTL的有效扩大并且从一件单个血样品为FACS分析提供很多房间。显著地,它完成允许容易要比较并且顺序评估了的不同个人的数据的CD8+T房间染色的tetramer的高频率。因此,这条途径为潜在的采纳免疫疗法扩展并且选择高特性的限制HLA的CMV-pp65-reactiveT房间线。
