There has been significant progress in the last two decades on the design of chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) for adoptive immunotherapy targeting tumor-associated antigens. Structurally CARs consist of a single chain antibody fragment directed against a tumor-associated antigen fused to an extracellular spacer and transmembrane domain followed by T cell cytoplasmic signaling moieties. Currently several clinical trials are underway using gene modified peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) with CARs directed against a variety of tumor associated antigens. Despite the improvements in the design of CARs and expansion of the number of target antigens, there is no universal flow cytometric method available to detect the expression of CARs on the surface of transduced lymphocytes.
Adoptive immunotherapy using T lymphocytes genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) combines the beneficial effects of both antibody and T-cell mediated immune responses. Typically CARs consists of a single chain antibody fragment (scFv) directed against tumor associated cell surface antigen fused to extracellular spacer and transmembrane domains followed by various combination of cytoplasmic signaling moieties such as CD3 zeta, CD28, OX40 or 4-1BB (Figure 1B). Currently a number of early phase clinical trials are underway using gene-modified peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) with CARs directed against a variety of tumor antigens [1]. Since the first CAR was reported in 1989 [2], there have been significant improvements in the design of CAR for optimal antigen recognition, enhanced T cell function and survival in vivo[3]. The number of target antigens that have been shown to be suitable for CAR based therapies is steadily expanding, indicating the potential promise of this approach in tumor immunotherapy [3, 4]. Despite the advancements in the design of CARs and expansion of number of target antigens, there is no universal flow cytometric method available to detect the expression of CARs on the surface of lymphocytes.

In our study, we found a significant difference between the median percentage of early and late apoptosis occurring within neutrophils in the study and control group of horses. A higher proportion of early and late apoptotic neutrophils can explain a lower number of these cells in general in the lungs of healthy horses. Large numbers of apoptotic cells are constantly generated in vivo and phagocytes such as macrophages should remove apoptotic cells as soon as they appear. However, it should be noted that late apoptotic cells are phagocytized much more significantly than early apoptotic cells, which can explain the large difference in median percentages between early and late apoptotic neutrophils in healthy horses.
Fifty days after challenge infection, adult worms were perfused by portal veins as described by Pellegrino and Siqueira [17]. Protection level was calculated comparing the number of worms recovered from the immunized group (IT/rSm22.6, IT/rSm29, rSm22.6 or rSm29) with the number of worms recovered in the saline control groups (IT/Saline(rSm29), IT/Saline(rSm22.6), Saline(rSm22.6) or Saline(rSm29)), using the formula below:
Following perfusion, the intestine from infected, treated and vaccinated animals (IT/rSm22.6 or IT/rSm29) and their control group (inoculated with saline) were removed, weighed and digested with 10% KOH overnight at room temperature. The eggs were obtained by centrifugation at 900 x g for 10 min and were resuspended in 1 mL of saline. The number of eggs present in intestine was determined using a light microscope
Herein we performed an immunization protocol using Balb/c mice previously infected with 30 S. mansoni cercariae and treated with Praziquantel. Balb/c strain was the strain of choice in our studies since its Th2 genetic background resembles the immunological profile identified in individuals living in endemic areas for schistosomiasis [13,14,15,22]. Our results demonstrate that three doses of the vaccine containing rSm29 were necessary to elicit significant protection in mice previously exposed to parasite antigens, reducing the number of the worms recovered. This reduction reflected in significant decrease in the numbers of eggs recovered from the intestine. Although a reduction in parasite burden was observed in our study, immunization had no effect in liver pathology, thus this vaccine formulation would have an impact on disease transmission rather than in individual pathology. Immunization with Sm22.6, on the other hand, failed to induce protection even after three doses of the vaccine. Since immunization of naïve Balb/c mice with rSm29 or rSm22.6 has never been evaluated, we also assessed the ability of both antigens to induce protection in this mice strain, interestingly neither rSm22.6 nor rSm29 was able to induce significant reduction in worm burden.
On the other hand, in Balb/c mice immunized with rSm29, we observed that the production of IgG, IgG1, IgG2a and IgE reaches the highest levels after the third immunization, which is consistent with the number of doses needed to confer protection against S. mansoni infection in animals previously exposed to parasite antigens. In individuals living in endemic areas for schistsosomiasis, the resistance to S. mansoni infection and reinfection is associated to increased production of IgG1 and IgG3 specific for Sm29 [11]. Regarding humoral profile the differences observed in antibody titers between rSm29 group, that did not develop a protective immunity and IT/rSm29 group, that developed a protective immunity, resides in an increased titer of IgG and decreased titer of IgG1. These results suggest that other IgG isotypes may be associated with the protection induced by this vaccine formulation.

FUCCI transgenic line generation. a, b Schematic representations of FUCCI green and red constructs, respectively. FUCCI constructs were injected separately in different 1-cell stage fertilized eggs. Positive eggs were raised into adult fish, bred and screened for three generations (c). F2 FUCCI green fish were finally bred with F2 FUCCI red fish to generate double FUCCI embryos, which were used for most experiments (c). d Schematic representation of how FUCCI technology works, cells are green during S/G2/M phases, colourless between M and G1, red in G1 and G0 phases and yellow during a small portion of G2 phase. e Schematic representation of zUbiquitin-EGFP construct.

Adult F0 transgenic fish were screened for fluorescence and bred one to another. F1 fish showing the expected fluorescence pattern were interbred in order to increase the number copies of FUCCI reporter cassettes in their genome, thereby enhancing the fluorescence signal in the F2 generation (Fig. 1c). F2 transgenic fish were used to characterize the expression pattern of the FUCCI reporters at different developmental stages.
Hatched fry had large fraction of red cells (Fig. 2H). The lateral muscles of the trunk (Fig. 2H, d) and of the tail (Fig. 2H, e) harboured a large number of red cells. In the head region, nearly every part of the brain had some spread red cells or red cells aggregates (Fig. 2H, a). The lens (Fig. 2H, b) showed strong red fluorescence at this stage. This could be an artefact due to the high protein stability in this region and lack of degradation of the FUCCI reporter. What remained of the yolk at this stage was still surrounded by large red cells belonging to the EVL, blocked in G0 and not cycling (Fig. 2H, f). Lastly, a large patch of red cells was observed corresponding to the pectoral fins (Fig. 2H, c).
During the dispersed phase, different proportions of green epiblast cells were detected in different FUCCI green embryos belonging to the same clutch of eggs. The number of green nuclei observed varied between 20 (Fig. 2M, N) and 200 (Fig. 2K, L), with a size range between 7 and 25 μm in diameter, typically showing a higher amount of the smaller cells. During this developmental stage, cells arranged randomly over the yolk surface.
These experiments required occupancy of the setup for considerable amounts of time, as every single time lapse acquisition lasted from 8 h to 4 days, limiting the number of replicates available for each stage (Table 1). This study was designed to provide an overview, as complete as possible, of N. furzeri embryonic development (compromising on the number of replicates) as opposed to deep analysis of only one specific stage (e.g. reaggregation) with a larger number of replicates. Because the morphology of South American and African annual killifishes is comparable, we follow here the staging developed by Wourms for the South American annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus [6] for reference. 2b1af7f3a8
