STAT3-Inducible Mouse ESCs: A Model to Study the Role of STAT3 in ESC Maintenance and Lineage Differentiation by Yu Qian Wong, Hongyan Xu, Qiang Wu, Xinyu Liu, Chengchen Lufei, Xiu Qin Xu, Xin-Yuan Fu

“…Likewise, it was found that STAT3-null ESCs would affect the differentiation of ESCs into mesoderm and cardiac lineage. Taken together, the findings of this study indicated that InSTAT3 KO and InSTAT3 CA ESCs could provide a new tool to clarify the direct targets of STAT3 and its role in ESC maintenance, which will facilitate the elaboration of the mechanisms whereby STAT3 maintains ESC pluripotency and regulates ESC differentiation during mammalian embryogenesis.…”

Immunogenicity in humans of a transdermal multipeptide melanoma vaccine administered with or without a TLR7 agonist by Craig L Slingluff, Gina R Petroni, Walter C Olson, Kimberly A Chianese-bullock, Donna Deacon, Mark Smolkin, William W Grosh, Max O Meneveau, Kevin T Lynch, Elise P Salerno, Elizabeth Woodson, James W Patterson

“…We hypothesized that: (1) applying melanoma-derived peptides topically, in proximity to LC, could be immunogenic and safe, with low vaccine-site toxicity and (2) topical toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist would increase immunogenicity of the peptide vaccine.Methods Twelve melanoma peptides plus a tetanus helper peptide were combined with granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and were administered topically on days 1, 8, and 15, to 28 patients randomized to one of four adjuvant preparations: (1) incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (IFA); (2) IFA plus a TLR7 agonist (imiquimod) administered on days 0, 7, 14; (3) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or (4) DMSO+ imiquimod administered on day 0, 7, 14. …”
