T-018830
— Researchers first identified and then used CRISPR to delete an enhancer located at +32 kb of the Irf8 transcriptional start site in mice. Knocking out this enhancer revealed that interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) is required for the development of classical type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) but not…
Irf8 Delta32 MiceMurphy, Kenneth
T-019003
— Irf8 Delta32 mice have a CRISPR targetted deletion in the enhancer of the mouse Irf8 gene located at +32 kilobases from the Irf8 gene promoter. This deletion removes the binding site for the Jun/Batf3/Irf8 complex and results in a complete and permanent elimination of the development of the cDC1 lin…

T-019142
— Xcr1 IRES mCherry-hCre Mouse Strain This genetically modified mouse strain expresses the fluorescent marker mCherry and a human codon optimzed Cre in the same transcript as the chemokine receptor XCR1. XCR1 is specifically expressed in cDC1s, allowing specific deletion of genes in and the fluoresce…

T-009478
— Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (aHSCT) from a healthy donor can cure a variety of blood cell disorders including leukemia, multiple myeloma, and some types of lymphoma. This has resulted in an increasing number of transplants, surpassing 8,000 a year in the US alone. …

T-004061
— Background: B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA or CD272) is an inhibitory receptor expressed on T and B cells, dendritic cells and select myeloid cells. BTLA interacts with costimulatory molecule herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM, Tnfrsf14, ATAR, HVEA, LIGHTR, or TR2). When bound to BTLA, HVEM atten…
