Design and bioinformatics analysis of novel biomimetic peptides as nanocarriers for gene transfer
Objective(s): The introduction of nucleic acids into cells for therapeutic objectives is significantly hindered by the size and charge of these molecules and therefore requires efficient vectors that assist cellular uptake. For several years great efforts have been devoted to the study of development of recombinant vectors based on biological domains with potential applications in gene therapy....
متن کاملA chimeric type 2 adenovirus vector with a type 17 fiber enhances gene transfer to human airway epithelia.
In studies of the genetic disease cystic fibrosis, recombinant adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) and Ad5 are being investigated as vectors to transfer cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator cDNA to airway epithelia. However, earlier work has shown that human airway epithelia are resistant to infection by Ad2 and Ad5. Therefore, we examined the efficiency of other adenovirus serotypes at infe...
متن کاملImproved vascular gene transfer with a helper-dependent adenoviral vector.
BACKGROUND Adenoviral vectors are the most widely used agents for vascular gene transfer. However, the utility of adenoviral vectors for vascular gene transfer is limited by brevity of expression and by the induction of a significant host inflammatory response. Third-generation or "helper-dependent" adenoviral vectors have achieved prolonged recombinant gene expression in liver and muscle with ...
متن کاملA Bi-Functional Targeted P28-NRC Chimeric Protein with Enhanced Cytotoxic Effects on Breast Cancer Cell Lines
One of the emerging therapeutic strategies for targeted therapy of cancer is the use of chimeric proteins. The p28 peptide has the ability of selective entrance and activating apoptosis in breast cancer cells. The NRC antimicrobial peptide showed cytotoxic activity on various breast cancer including drug-resistant variants but also normal cell lines. Here we designed a chimeric protein consiste...
