Genetic Studies of Natural Glycosphingolipid Ligands for NKT Cells
Glycosphingolipids (GSL) are natural ligands of NKT cells. Several laboratories have reported the in vitro activity of isoglobotriosylceramide (iGb3) in stimulating NKT cells. However, the knockout mice of iGb...

Quantifying Proteome and Protein Modifications in Activated T Cells by Multiplexed Isobaric Labeling Mass Spectrometry
The dynamic regulation of protein function by altered protein expression and post-translational modifications (PTMs) is essential for T cell function, but it has remained difficult to systemically quantify suc...

Identification of AI-2 Quorum Sensing Inhibitors in Vibrio harveyi Through Structure-Based Virtual Screening
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication system that regulates gene expression as a result of the production and perception of signal molecules called autoinducers (AIs). AI-2 is a QS autoinducer pr...

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Mouse Model in Translational Research
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by increased proliferation of granulocytic cells without the loss of their capability to differentiate. CML is a clonal disease, or...

Stimulation of Cerebral Angiogenesis by Gene Delivery
Angiogenesis, an important process for long term neurological recovery, could be induced by ischemic brain injury. In this chapter, we describe a system to deliver adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector-mediated ...
