Pluripotent stem cells derived without the use of embryos or fetal tissue

This invention provides a method for deriving precursors to pluripotent non-embryonic stem (P-PNES) and pluripotent non-embryonic stem (PNES) cell lines. The present invention involves nuclear transfer of genetic material from a somatic cell into an enucleated, zona pellucida free human ooplastoid having a reduced amount of total cytoplasm. The present invention provides a new source for obtaining human and other animal pluripotent stem cells. The source utilizes as starting materials an oocyte and a somatic cell as the starting materials but does not require the use, creation and/or destruction of embryos or fetal tissue and does not in any way involve creating a cloned being. The oocyte never becomes fertilized and never develops into an embryo. Rather, portions of the oocyte cytoplasm are extracted and combined with the nuclear material of individual mature somatic cells in a manner that precludes embryo formation. Murine, bovine, and human examples of the procedure are demonstrated. Subsequently, the newly constructed P-PNES cells are cultured in vitro and give rise to PNES cells and cell colonies. Methods are described for culturing the P-PNES cells to yield purified PNES cells which have the ability to differentiate into cells derived from mesoderm, endoderm, and ectoderm germ layers. Methods are described for maintaining and proliferating PNES cells in culture in an undifferentiated state. Methods and results are described for analysis and validation of pluripotency of PNES cells including cell morphology, cell surface markers, pluripotent tumor development in SCID mouse, karyotyping, immortality in in vitro culture.

Analysis of fragmentation patterns of cell-free DNA

Factors affecting the fragmentation pattern of cell-free DNA (e.g., plasma DNA) and the applications, including those in molecular diagnostics, of the analysis of cell-free DNA fragmentation patterns are described. Various applications can use a property of a fragmentation pattern to determine a proportional contribution of a particular tissue type, to determine a genotype of a particular tissue type (e.g., fetal tissue in a maternal sample or tumor tissue in a sample from a cancer patient), and / or to identify preferred ending positions for a particular tissue type, which may then be used to determine a proportional contribution of a particular tissue type.

Prenatal enzyme replacement therapy

The invention contemplates transplacental enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for deficiency of a polypeptide such as a tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) by administering a before-described pharmaceutical composition to a pregnant animal whose fetus or embryo is in need of such therapy. The fusion protein of such a composition comprises a water-soluble TNSALP portion, e.g., C-terminus-truncated TNSALP peptide-bonded to an IgG1 antibody Fc portion.The invention also contemplates a method for treating a metabolic disorder, such as HPP, in a fetus or embryo were a protein is administered to a pregnant mother. The fusion protein comprises a Fc fragment of an IgG1 antibody peptide-bonded to TNSALP. The protein crosses the placenta of the mother and enters the fetal blood stream. The protein is taken up into fetal tissue such that the TNSALP restores normal metabolic activity in the fetus.

Pluripotent mammalian cells

InactiveUS20050210537A1Enhance chromatin remodellingStably integratedNew breed animal cellsGenetic material ingredientsReprogrammingCell type specific
The invention relates to a method of making pluripotent stem cells that does not involve the formation of early preimplantation embryos or fetal tissue. The method has general utility in the production of pluripotent stem cells from many mammalian species but has particular application in man where pluripotent stem cell production can be customized to particular human individual. The method involves the fusion of donor somatic or stem cells (or their karyoplasts) with cytoplasmic, membrane-delimited fragments of mammalian oocytes or zygotes. After the initial genomic reprogramming occurs, the cells can proliferate and thus multiply in vitro yielding a large number of autologous cells for cell therapy application. The result of this process is a cell population genomically identical to the somatic, differentiated cells derived from an individual patient. However, these cells are pluripotent in that upon application of specific growth factors, the cells are capable of differentiating into specific cell types as required by the sought clinical indication.

Robust, clinical-grade transabdominal fetal pulse oximetry

The system determines a fetal blood oxygenation level by activating two or more light sources, having different wavelengths, which are positioned on the maternal abdomen of a pregnant mammal to direct light into a maternal abdomen toward a fetus. The system then receives a maternal signal from a first photodetector, which is positioned on the maternal abdomen to receive reflected light that traverses maternal tissue. The system also receives a mixed signal from a second photodetector, which is positioned on the maternal abdomen to receive reflected light that traverses both maternal and fetal tissue. The system performs a filtering operation that removes maternal signal components from the mixed signal to produce a fetal signal. The system determines the fetal blood oxygenation level by performing a pulse-oximetry computation on the fetal signal. The system dynamically adjusts operational parameters in the face of changing variables, such as fetus position and depth.

Performing trans-abdominal fetal oxymetry by using optical tomography

Fetal tissue oxygenation may be performed transabdominally by, for example, receiving a plurality of detected electronic signals that correspond to light emitted from a pregnant mammal's abdomen and afetus contained therein that has been detected by the detector and converted into the detected electronic signal. An indication of a depth of the fetus within the pregnant mammal's abdomen may be received, and a portion of the detected electronic signals that correspond to light that was incident upon the fetus may be isolated responsively to the indication of the depth of the fetus by using, forexample, time of flight of photons that correspond to the detected electronic signals. A fetal tissue oxygen saturation level may then be determined by using the isolated portion of the detected electronic signals that correspond to light that was incident upon the fetus.

Direct molecular diagnosis of fetal aneuploidy

Methods and materials for detection of aneuploidy and other chromosomal abnormalities using fetal tissue are disclosed. Results can be obtained rapidly, without cell culture. The method uses digital PCR for amplification and detection of single target sequences, allowing an accurate count of a specific chromosome or chromosomal region. Specific polynucleic acid primers and probes are disclosed for chromosomes 1, 13, 18, 21, X and Y. These polynucleic acid sequences are chosen to be essentially invariant between individuals, so the test is not dependent on sequence differences between fetus and mother.
