Overview of a quality assurance/quality control compliance program consistent with FDA regulations and policies for somatic cell and gene therapies: a four year experience

Somatic cell and gene therapy involve the application of biological technologies to an individual patient through the use of living cells which provide a therapeutic benefit (Aliski, 1991). Various forms of cellular and gene therapies are being developed and evaluated in an increasing number of clinical trials for congential and acquired disorders. The potential and progress of these therapeutic applications have resulted in an increasing effort by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop the regulatory framework under which these therapeutic approaches would insure safety and efficacy, the primary mandate of the FDA.Over five years ago Cellcor began to define the parameters, specifications, and conditions relevant to a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program that has evolved to insure safety and maximize the efficacy of applications of the company'sex vivo technology, autolymphocyte therapy. Autolymphocyte therapy is an outpatient form of somatic cell immunotherapy based upon the infusion of T cells that have been activatedex vivo using a combination of previously generated autologous cytokines and an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody.We have been able to demonstrate the feasibility for the safe, controlled, and consistent preparation and delivery of a cellular therapy by application of relevant GMP regulations. This presentation reviews aspects of this program and chronicles our experience which at present amounts to over 4400 infusions for over 700 patients. This program provides a high degree of assurance that a cellular therapy program can be carried out in a multisite mode involving hundreds of patients through the strict adherence to cGMP as set forth in existing regulations. It would be prudent that developers of cellular andex vivo gene therapies establish a similar cell processing and QA/QC infrastructure at an early developmental stage to optimize safety and reproducibility and facilitate regulatory review.     

穗花杉染色体的研究

穗花杉为国家三级重点保护的珍稀濒危植物,雌雄异株。根尖细胞染色体分析表明：雌株和雄株的染色体数目为２ｎ＝４０,其中第１对和第２对为中部着丝粒染色体,第３－２０对为端部着丝粒染色体。核型为２ｎ＝４０＝４ｍ＋３６Ｔ。雌雄株除第２对的长度稍有差异外,其余各对的相对长度和臂比都较近似,可能尚无性染色体分化。Ｇｉｅｍｓａ Ｃ带显示,间期核有３个较大的染色中心,最长的３条染色体的中央缢痕有深染色带纹,可能是着     

毛喉萜对小鼠骨髓细胞和腹腔巨噬细胞表面胰岛素受体和GM－CSF受体的下调作用

放射性标记受体分析表明毛喉萜（ＦＳＫ）可以降低小鼠骨央细胞和腹腔巨噬细胞表面的胰岛素（ＩＮＳ）和粒细胞－巨噬细胞集落刺激因子（ＧＭ－ＣＳＦ）受体数目,而且对ＧＭ－ＣＳＦ的作用有剂量和时间依赖性,经ＦＳＫ处理的巨噬细胞酸性磷酸酶活性增加,微丝更加舒展。     

天花粉蛋白与FMP复合物的晶体结构

用浸泡法得到了天花粉蛋白（ＴＣＳ）与ＦＭＰ复合物的晶体,在ＳＩＭＥＮＮＳＸ－２００Ｂ面探测器系统上收集了一套２．０分辨率的Ｘ射线衍射数据。用同晶差值傅立叶法解析了复合物的结构,经Ｘ—ＰＬＯＲ程序修正得到了ＴＣＳ—ＦＭＰ复合物的分子结构并找出了１９７个水分子,最后的Ｒ因子为０．１７２,键长和键角的ＲＭＳ偏差分别为０．０１５和２．９２２度。ＴＣＳ—ＦＭＰ复合物中,ＦＭＰ与天花粉蛋白分子有较好的结合,其结合位置正处于根据三维结构和突变体信息推测的Ｎ一糖苷酶活性口袋之中。它的类嘌呤环夹在Ｙ７０和Ｙ１１１两个侧链环之间,与Ｙ７０环近乎平行,其Ｎ７和Ｎ６分别与ＴＣＳ分子的Ｇ１０９４羰基氧和Ｉ７１的Ｎ成氢键,Ｎ３靠近Ｒ１６３的侧链,其磷酸根则伸向活性口袋的底部,与Ｅ１８９、Ｅ１６０和Ｒ１６３等残基作用。

Familial mediterranean fever (FMF) in Moroccan Jews: Demonstration of a founder effect by extended haplotype analysis

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease causing attacks of fever and serositis. The FMF gene (designated “MEF”) is on 16p, with the gene order 16cen–D16S80–MEF–D16S94–D16S283–D16S291–16pter. Here we report the association of FMF susceptibility with alleles at D16S94, D16S283, and D16S291 among 31 non-Ashkenazi Jewish families (14 Moroccan, 17 non-Moroccan). We observed highly significant associations at D16S283 and D16S291 among the Moroccan families. For the non-Moroccans, only the allelic association at D16S94 approached statistical significance. Haplotype analysis showed that 18/25 Moroccan FMF chromosomes, versus 0/21 noncarrier chromosomes, bore a specific haplotype for D16S94–D16S283–D16S291. Among non-Moroccans this haplotype was present in 6/26 FMF chromosomes versus 1/28 controls. Both groups of families are largely descended from Jews who fled the Spanish Inquisition. The strong haplotype association seen among the Moroccans is most likely a founder effect, given the recent origin and genetic isolation of the Moroccan Jewish community. The lower haplotype frequency among non-Moroccan carriers may reflect differences both in history and in population genetics.

安徽宿县夹沟寒武-奥陶系界线附近生物群演变及地球化学特征

对宿县夹沟地区跨寒武系与奥陶系的三山子组的碳、氧同位素和微量元素地球化学的研究表明,寒武－奥陶系界线附近有δ＾１３Ｃ和δ＾１８Ｏ的负异常,亲铁元素、亲铜元素的正异常。这些异常与生物群面貌的变化在时间上是同步的。据此认为研究区在寒武纪末可能存在灾变事件。同时,考虑到寒武纪末和奥陶纪初生物群面貌的重大差异,综合国内,外有关研究,认为寒武纪末期可能存在全球性的重大地质事件。
