A substantially enriched mammalian hematopoietic cell subpopulation is provided, which is characterized by progenitor cell activity for lymphoid lineages, but lacking the potential to differentiate into myeloid and erythroid lineages. Methods are provided for the isolation and culture of this common lymphoid progenitor cell (CLP). The cell enrichment methods employ reagents that specifically recognize CDw127 (IL-7 receptor α); CD117 (c-kit) protein, in conjunction with other markers expressed on lineage committed cells. The murine cells are also characterized as expressing low levels of sca-1 (Ly-6E and Ly-6A). The CLPs are predominantly cycling, blast cells. These cells give rise to B cells, T cells and natural killer cells, as evidenced by their growth and differentiation in vitro and in vivo.

A kit mainly includes an anti-CD117 protein antibody, an anti-CD163 protein antibody and an anti-a-SMA protein antibody.According to the invention, the combination of three molecules combined with histopathological features predicts patients' prognosis, which has a higher predictive effect than single index detectionand clearly distinguishes patients with esophageal squamous carcinoma adjuvant treatment sensitivity; an immune tissue chemical hypersensitivity two-step method on which the molecular model is based is a mature and reliable method which can be widely used in primary hospitals; and compared with international TNM staging, the molecular model has a higher predictive effect, and is simpler, easier, more sensitive and more specific.

The invention relates to a CD117-based chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and application thereof, in particular to a method for constructing a CRA-T cell technology based on a tumor specific target CD117 and application of the method in anti-tumor therapy. The CAR is formed by connecting an antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain, a costimulatory signal transduction zone and a CD3 zeta signal transduction domain in series, wherein the antigen binding domain binds to a tumor surface antigen, and the tumor surface antigen is CD117. The CAR provided by the invention is obtained by carrying out specific genetic modification on the tumor surface antigen CD117, and the modified antibody can enable the antigen-antibody binding force to be stronger and is not easy to mutate. Compared with other CARs and other tumor antigens, the CD117-based CRA has better effects and high target expression quantity, thus enhancing the immune effect of CAR-T cells and improving the therapeutic effect of the CAR-T cells.

This disclosure relates to methods of predicting and diagnosing preeclampsia and eclampsia in pregnant subjects. These methods include detecting a decrease of soluble c-kit in a sample obtained from the pregnant subject.

The present invention provides a clinically applicable method of stem cell transplantation that facilitates engraftment and reconstitutes immunocompetence of the recipient without requiring radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and without development of GVHD or graft rejection. Aspects of the present invention are based on the discovery that the depletion of the endogenous stem cell niche facilitates efficient engraftment of stem cells into that niche. In particular, the present invention combines the use of selective ablation of endogenous stem cells with a combination of antibodies specific for CD117, and agents that modulate immunoregulatory signaling pathways, e.g. agonists of immune costimulatory molecules, in combination with the administration to the recipient of exogenous stem cells, resulting in efficient, long-term engraftment, even in immunocompetent recipients.
