Conserved natural IgM antibodies mediate innate and adaptive immunity against the opportunistic fungus Pneumocystis murina
Rekha R. Rapaka,David M. Ricks,John F. Alcorn,Kong Chen,Shabaana A. Khader,Mingquan Zheng,Scott E. Plevy,Eva Bengtén,Jay K. Kolls,Jay K. Kolls +9 more
TL;DR: Natural IgM antibodies in diverse species recognize conserved carbohydrates in fungal cell walls and influence early host defense against Pneumocystis in mice.
Pulmonary Th17 Antifungal Immunity Is Regulated by the Gut Microbiome
Jeremy P. McAleer,Nikki L. H. Nguyen,Kong Chen,Pawan Kumar,David M. Ricks,Matthew Binnie,Rachel A. Armentrout,Derek Pociask,Aaron Hein,Amy Yu,Amit Vikram,Kyle Bibby,Yoshinori Umesaki,Amariliz Rivera,Dean Sheppard,Wenjun Ouyang,Lora V. Hooper,Jay K. Kolls +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that gut microbiota can regulate CD4 T cell polarization during pulmonary fungal infections and serum-transfer experiments revealed that IL-1R ligands increase the accumulation of lung Th17 cells, suggesting that intestinal microbiota, including SFB, can regulate pulmonary adaptive immune responses.

Optimized Lentiviral Transduction of Mouse Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
TL;DR: Improved production and transduction conditions for lentiviral vectors resulted in efficient transduction of mouse MSCs, and these improvements should facilitate the application of such cells in the context of mouse models of human disease.

TL;DR: The birth of transgenic cloned kittens produced by LV vector-mediated transduction of donor cells are reported and it is confirmed thatCloned kittens express the EGFP reporter transgene in all body tissues.
400 production of transgenic cloned domestic cat embryos by lentivector-mediating transgenesis
Martha C. Gómez,Robert H. Kutner,David M. Ricks,C. E. Pope,C. Dumas,Betsy L. Dresser,Jakob Reiser +6 more
TL;DR: The purpose of the present study was to determine the uselfulness of LV to deliver transgene into cat fetal fibroblasts (CFF) and to produce transgenic domestic cat cloned embryos expressing enhanced green fluorescence protein (eGFP).
