  • EXPANDED AND GENETICALLY MODIFIED POPULATIONS OF HUMAN HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS
    Publication number: 20030044978
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for promoting the survival and/or expansion of hematopoietic stem cells in culture, comprising culturing the cells in a culture including an effective amount of a mpl ligand, (particularly thrombopoietin), a flt3 ligand and interleukin 6 (IL6). Also provided is a method for modifying hematopoietic stem cells comprising contacting a gene delivery vehicle comprising a polynucleotide sequence with a population of hematopoietic stem cells cultured in the presence of an effective amount of thrombopoietin and a flt3 ligand. Additionally methods of restoring hematopoietic capability in a subject are claimed.

  • Apparatus for cell format control in a spread sheet
    Patent number: 5280575
    Abstract: A data structure for tabular data arranged in rows and columns. The data structure includes a header portion including a generic columnar processing information table, and a data portion for storing data in rows, the data portion further identifying a table containing generic columnar processing information to be used in processing selected cells in the row. In a refinement, each row in the data structure includes a row header including a row number and at least one cell, the row number identifying a row in a table for the cell. As a further refinement, each cell includes a header portion and a value portion, the header portion containing a cell number identifying a column in a table for the cell.
