Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the production and use of CD124+ and CD116+ cell lines in the production of effective dendritic cells (DC) with the aid of stimulatory molecules.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the purification of a glycoprotein comprising subjecting a liquid containing said glycoprotein to the steps of: a) reverse phase chromatography, b) boronate affinity chromatography, and c) size exclusion chromatography. Also provided is a manufacturing process for producing a glycoprotein of interest.

Abstract: The invention is related to the production and use of CD124+ and CD116+ cell lines for the production of effective dendritic cells (DC) using stimulatory molecules, their use in the production of allogenic or semi-allogenic immunotherapeutic agents and the use thereof in the treatment or prophylaxis of immune diseases. Furthermore, the invention is related to the use of CD124+ and CD116+ tumor cell lines, preferably also being CD34+, as model and yeast systems for testing the DC biology and for testing substances having an impact on the immune system and on the conditioning thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell line selected from the group consisting of (a) a cell line denominated NM-F9 having the DSMZ accession number DSM ACC2606; (b) a cell line denominated NM-D4 having the DSMZ accession number DSM ACC2605; and subclones of (a) or (b).
