Abstract:
Genetically engineered human stem cells that carry within them genes of interest particularly for the expression of physiologically or pharmacologically active proteins or for use in gene therapy. In addition to correction of genetic disorders, is the ability to introduce, in a targeted manner, additional copies of essential genes to allow expression in proliferating, nondifferentiating cells of certain gene products. These genes can be, for example, hormones matrix proteins, cytokines, adhesion molecules, detoxification enzymes and "rebuilding" proteins important in tissue repair.

US Classification:
424 937
Abstract:
Isolated human mesenchymal stem cells which can differentiate into more than one tissue type (e. g. bone, cartilage, muscle or marrow stroma), a method for isolating, purifying, and culturally expanding human mesenchymal stem cells (i. e. "mesenchymal stem cells" or "hMSCs"), and characterization of and uses, particularly research reagent, diagnostic and therapeutic uses for such cells. The stem cells can be culture expanded without differentiating. Monoclonal antibodies specific for human mesenchymal stem cells and the monoclonal hybridoma cell lines (ATCC nos. 10743-10745) that synthesize and secrete these monospecific antibodies, and uses of the monoclonal antibodies for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes.

International Classification:
C12N 520 C07K 1628
US Classification:
435332
Abstract:
The invention relates to isolated human mesenchymal stem cells, a method for isolating, purifying, and culturally expanding human mesenchymal stem cells (i. e. mesenchymal stem cells or "MSCs"), and characterization of (including by cytokine expression profiling) and uses, particularly research reagent, diagnostic and therapeutic uses for such cells. The stem cells can be culture expanded without differentiating. Further disclosed are monoclonal antibodies specific for human mesenchymal stem cells and the monoclonal hybridoma cell lines (ATCC nos. 10743-10745) that synthesize and secrete these monospecific antibodies, and uses of the monoclonal antibodies for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes.

International Classification:
C12N 500 A61K 3528 A61F 1300
US Classification:
424 937
Abstract:
Method and preparations for enhancing hematopoietic progenitor cell engraftment in an individual by administering (i) a culturally expanded mesenchymal stem cell preparation and (ii) hematopoietic progenitor cells. The mesenchymal stem cells are administered in an amount effective to promote engraftment of the hematopoietic progenitor cells.

International Classification:
C12N 500
US Classification:
424 937
Abstract:
Methods for in vitro or ex vivo lineage directed induction of isolated, culture expanded human mesenchymal stem cells comprising contacting the mesenchymal stem cells with a bioactive factor effective to induce differentiation thereof into a lineage of choice as well as such compositions including isolated culture expanded human mesenchymal stem cells and bioactive factors effective to induce directed lineage induction are disclosed. Further disclosed is this method which also includes introducing such culturally expanded lineage-induced mesenchymal stem cells into a host from which they have originated for purposes of mesenchymal tissue regeneration or repair.
