Modelling the early development of cartilage and bone in Mseleni Joint Disease using induced pluripotent stem cells by Mkatazo, Thulisa

“…In vitro differentiation into the three germ layers was confirmed by ICC. To generate iPSC-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iMSC) from the iPSCs, two differentiation protocols were tested: one with low glucose medium and one with standard glucose medium. …”

L'ordinateur versus le portable en classe de FLE pour travailer l'oral de la mouvelle generation by Botha, Mia-Louise

“…The aim of our study is to expose in the first place the possibility to develop oral skills using a cellphone in teaching French as a foreign language, and then discovering whether a specific audience, the new generation, prefer working on computers or cell phones when it comes to their oral skills. …”

Generation and characterization of HIV-1 subtype C candidate vaccines that will induce high titre antibody responses to HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein by van Diepen, Michiel Theodoor

“…This allowed for the latter vaccine to be affinity purified using lectin (soluble Env (GNL)), and after generating stable cell lines, soluble Env yields were high enough to enable size exclusion chromatography which allowed isolation of the trimeric fraction of Env as determined by molecular weight (soluble trimeric Env). …”

Development of an Autologous Human Dendritic Cell Vaccine against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Patients with Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis by Londt, Rolanda Sabrina

“…The ability of DC-primed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to restrict the growth of M.tb-infected monocyte derived-macrophages was evaluated using an in vitro validated mycobacterial containment assay. …”

An investigation of the impact of the B cell lymphoma factor Activation Induced Cytidine Deaminase (AICDA/AID) on epigenetic plasticity by Makofane, Lincon Kgasha

“…The human AICDA open reading frame (ORF) was cloned into a lentiviral backbone vector, and AICDA overexpression was verified in HEK293 cells using western blotting. A third-generation Lentiviral transduction system was used to produce lentiviral particles (AICDA expressing and empty-vector control) to transduce a non-cancerous lymphoblastoid cell line (PB-B95-8H) and a DLBCL cell line (HBL 1). …”
