Baculovirus-mediated gene transfer into pancreatic islet cells.
Baculovirus transduction is a gene transfer method that uses a moth cell virus for mammalian cells in culture, which results in a high-level prolonged expression. Here we demonstrate that recombinant baculoviruses can serve as efficient gene transfer vehicles for delivering foreign genes driven by mammalian promoters into human and mouse pancreatic islet cells. Existing methods, such as various...
متن کاملGene transfer mediated by recombinant baculovirus into mouse eye.
PURPOSE To determine the efficiency of baculoviruses (BVs) to transfer recombinant genes in vivo into murine ocular tissues. METHODS Recombinant (r)BVs carrying fluorescent protein (FP) cDNA under the control of cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early promoter were constructed. Initially, cultured HEK293 and ARPE19 cells were infected with these rBVs and analyzed for efficiency and stability of...
متن کاملUltrasound-mediated gene transfer into neuronal cells.
A new field of gene transfer is emerging as a simple, effective means to drive the expression foreign genes in cells: ultrasound-mediated gene transfer or sonoporation. We report here that sonoporation is an effective means of gene transfer for cultured neurons, a cell type that has been difficult to transfect. Neuronal cell types that are effectively sonoporated include chick retinal neurons, ...
متن کاملProtein-Mediated Interactions of Pancreatic Islet Cells
The islets of Langerhans collectively form the endocrine pancreas, the organ that is soley responsible for insulin secretion in mammals, and which plays a prominent role in the control of circulating glucose and metabolism. Normal function of these islets implies the coordination of different types of endocrine cells, noticeably of the beta cells which produce insulin. Given that an appropriate...
متن کاملSomatostatin Gene Expression in Pancreatic Islet Cells
Somatostatin is a peptide synthesized in the pancreatic islets, nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and thyroid gland. Factors that control islet cell-specific expression of the somatostatin gene were analyzed by expression of fusion genes consisting of 5‘ rat somatostatin gene sequences linked to coding sequences of the reporter genes, bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, and human...
