    Abstract A process for maximizing the titer of lentivirus particles, deemed to be a necessity for transducing primary cells, is developed. Lentivirus particles, with a set of transgenes encoding an artificial cell-signaling pathway, are used to transform primary T cells as vectors for calibrated synthesis of desired proteins in situ, that is, T-cell biofactory cells. The process is also used to generate primary T cells expressing antigen-specific chimeric antigen receptors, that is, CAR T cells. The two differently engineered primary T cells are expanded and validated for their respective functions, that is, calibrated synthesis of desired proteins upon engaging the target cells, which is specific for the T-cell biofactory cells, and cytolysis of the target cells common to both types of cells. The process is compliant with current Good Manufacturing Practices and can be used to support the scale-up for clinical translation.

    Abstract Purpose: Patients exposed to acute high doses of ionizing radiation are susceptible to dose-dependent bone marrow depression with resultant pancytopenia. Romiplostim (RP; Nplate) is a recombinant thrombopoietin receptor agonist protein that promotes progenitor megakaryocyte proliferation and platelet production and is an approved treatment for patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia. The goal of our study was to evaluate the postirradiation survival and hematologic benefits of a single dose of RP with or without pegfilgrastim (PF; Neulasta, granulocyte colony stimulating factor) by conducting a well-controlled, treatment-concealed, good laboratory practice-compliant study in rhesus macaques that was compliant with the United States Food and Drug Administration Animal Rule regulatory approval pathway.
    Methods and materials: Irradiated male and female rhesus macaques (20/sex in each of 3 groups: control, RP, and RP + PF) were subcutaneously administered vehicle or RP (5 mg/kg, 10 mL/kg) on day 1 in the presence or absence of 2 doses of PF (0.3 mg/kg, 0.03 mL/kg, days 1 and 8). Total body radiation (680 cGy, 50 cGy/min from cobalt-60 gamma ray source) occurred 24 ± 2 hours previously at a dose targeting 70% lethality for the control cohort over 60 days. The study examined 60-day survival postirradiation as the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included incidence, severity, and duration of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia, other hematology parameters, coagulation parameters, and body weight change to provide insights into potential mechanisms of action.
    Results: Compared with sham-treated controls, treated animals demonstrated a 40% to 55% survival benefit compared with controls, less severe clinical signs, reduced incidence of thrombocytopenia and/or neutropenia, earlier hematologic recovery, and reduced morbidity from bacterial infection.
    Conclusions: These results were pivotal in obtaining Food and Drug Administration approval in January 2021 for RP's new indication as a single administration therapy to increase survival in adults and pediatric patients acutely exposed to myelosuppressive doses of radiation.

    Abstract Purpose: To describe the dose response relationship and natural history of radiation injury in the Wistar rat and its suitability for use in medical countermeasures (MCM) testing.
    Materials & methods: In two separate studies, male and female rats were exposed to partial body irradiation (PBI) with 5% bone marrow sparing. Animals were X-ray irradiated from 7 to 12 Gy at 7-10 weeks of age. Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) survival at 30 days and delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE) survival at 182 days were assessed. Radiation effects were determined by clinical observations, body weights, hematology, clinical chemistry, magnetic resonance imaging of lung, whole-body plethysmography, and histopathology.
    Results: Rats developed canonical ARS responses of hematopoietic atrophy and gastrointestinal injury resulting in mortality at doses ≥8Gy in males and ≥8.5 Gy in females. DEARE mortality occurred at doses ≥8Gy for both sexes. Findings indicate lung, kidney, and/or liver injury, and persistent hematological dysregulation, revealing multi-organ injury as a DEARE.
    Conclusion: The Wistar rat PBI model is suitable for testing MCMs against hematopoietic and gastrointestinal ARS. DEARE multi-organ injury occurred in both sexes irradiated with 8-9Gy, also suggesting suitability for polypharmacy studies addressing the combination of ARS and DEARE injury.

    Abstract Introduction: Mouse models of radiation injury are critical to the development of medical countermeasures (MCMs) against radiation. Now that MCMs against hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) have achieved regulatory approval, attention is shifting to develop MCMs against the adverse effects of gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GI-ARS) and delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE). The C57L/J mouse model of partial body irradiation (PBI) with 2.5% bone marrow shielding (BM2.5) is being leveraged to examine both GI-ARS and DEARE effects. Within days of PBI, mice may develop H- and GI-ARS followed several months later by DEARE as a multi-organ injury, which typically involves the lung and kidney (L- and K-DEARE, respectively). The objective of this manuscript is to describe the dose response relationship and progression of radiation injury in the C57L/J mouse and to evaluate its suitability for use in DEARE MCM testing.
    Materials and methods: In two separate studies conducted over 2 years, male and female C57L/J mice were exposed to PBI BM2.5 with one hindlimb shielded from radiation, representing ~2.5% bone marrow shielding/sparing. Mice were X-ray irradiated at doses ranging from 9 to 13 Gy at 10 to 12 weeks of age for the purposes of assessing ARS survival at 30 days and DEARE survival at 182 days post-irradiation. Clinical indicators of ARS and DEARE were determined by clinical observations, body weights, hematology, clinical chemistry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lung, and histopathology of selected tissues.
    Results: C57L/J mice developed canonical ARS responses of hematopoietic atrophy and gastrointestinal injury resulting in dose dependent mortality at doses ≥11 Gy between 1- and 15-days post-irradiation. In animals that survived ARS, DEARE associated mortality occurred in dose dependent fashion at ≥9 Gy for both sexes between 60- and 159-days post-irradiation with histopathology examinations indicating lung injury as the primary cause of death in moribund animals.
    Conclusion: The PBI BM2.5 C57L/J mouse model reliably produced known H- and GI-ARS effects at doses greater than those resulting in DEARE effects. Because of this, the C57L/J mouse can be used to test MCMs against L-DEARE injury, while avoiding ARS associated mortality.

    Abstract The NK-92MI, a fast-growing cytolytic cell line with a track record of exerting clinical efficacy, is transformed into a vector for synthesizing calibrated amounts of desired engineered proteins at our disease site, that is, NK-cell Biofactory. This provides an allogeneic option to the previously published T-cell-based living vector that is limited by high manufacturing cost and product variability. The modularity of this pathway, which combines a "target" receptor with an "effector" function, enables reprogramming of the NK-cell Biofactory to target diseases with specific molecular biomarkers, such as cancer, viral infections, or auto-immune disorders, and overcome barriers that may affect the advancement of NK-cell therapies.

    Abstract We have engineered a cell that can be used for diagnosing active severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. Isolation of individuals with active infections offers an effective solution for mitigating pandemics. However, the implementation of this practice requires robust infrastructure for rapid and intuitive testing, which is currently missing in our communities. To address this need, we engineered a fast-growing cell line into a cell-based antigen test platform for emerging viruses, i.e., DxCell, that can be rapidly deployed in decentralized health care facilities for continuous testing. The technology was characterized using cells engineered to present spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2-Sgp-cells) and Calu-3 host cells infected with competent SARS-CoV-2. Preclinical validation was conducted by directly incubating the DxCell with oropharyngeal swabs from mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. No sample preparation steps are necessary. The DxCell quantitatively detected the SARS-CoV-2-Sgp-cells within 1 h (
