Developing nanobodies as allosteric molecular chaperones of glucocerebrosidase function
Identification of GCase-targeting nanobodies
To generate nanobodies (Nbs) specifically binding human lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GCase), a llama was immunized with a commercial source of GCase (Velaglucerase, VPRIV®)43,44,45. To maximize the…

Production of multi-subunit proteins in CHO cells by transposase-mediated integration of subunit-splitting vectors
Cell lines
CHO-K1 cells were obtained from the European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC 85051005). CHO-K1 cells22 were adapted to suspension culture and maintained in a serum-free proprietary growth medium with 4 mM L-glutamine (Gibco) in shake…

Expression of an interleukin-2 partial agonist enhances regulatory T cell persistence and efficacy in mouse autoimmune models
Plasmids and lentiviral vector production
Second-generation lentiviruses were utilized to generate human Tregs-IL2. The human Treg-IL2 transfer plasmids were designed and ordered from VectorBuilder’s website. These transfer plasmids contained…

Saliva-derived transcriptomic signature for gastric cancer detection using machine learning and leveraging publicly available datasets
While saliva does not mirror the transcriptomic landscape observed in stomach tumorous tissue, it represents a promising non-invasive tool in GC screening and early detection.
Traditional tissue sampling for histopathological analysis offers the…
