Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 augments adenovirus-mediated gene transfer.
We have reported that adenovirus-mediated gene transfer is augmented in the endothelium of atherosclerotic blood vessels. We observed that vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) shares some homology with the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor. Because VCAM-1 is upregulated on atherosclerotic endothelial cells, we hypothesized that VCAM-1 may act as an auxiliary receptor to augment adeno...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated Gene Transfer to Liver Grafts
Background. Adenoviral gene therapy in liver transplantation has many potential applications, but current vector delivery methods to grafts lack efficiency and require high titers. In this study, we attempted to improve gene delivery efficacy using three different delivery methods to liver grafts with adenoviral vector encoding the LacZ marker gene (AdLacZ). Methods. AdLacZ was delivered to col...
متن کاملCanine adenovirus vectors: an alternative for adenovirus-mediated gene transfer.
Preclinical studies have shown that gene transfer following readministration of viral vectors is often inefficient due to the presence of neutralizing antibodies. Vectors derived from ubiquitous human adenoviruses may have limited clinical use because preexisting humoral and cellular immunity is found in 90% of the population. Furthermore, risks associated with the use of human adenovirus vecto...
متن کاملMethod for multiple portal vein infusions in mice: quantitation of adenovirus-mediated hepatic gene transfer.
For many preclinical studies, the mouse has been an invaluable model. For hepatic studies, including gene therapy, the use of the mouse has been limited because of the inability to obtain long-term portal vein access. In this study, we have developed a surgical cannula model that allows for repeat portal vein infusion in a noninvasive manner. We have used this model to establish that the tissue...
متن کاملthe effects of planning on accuracy and complexity of iranian efl students’ written narrative task performance
this study compared the different effects of form-focused guided planning vs. meaning-focused guided planning on iranian pre-intermediate students’ task performance. the study lasted for three weeks and concentrated on eight english structures. forty five pre-intermediate iranian students were randomly assigned to three groups of guided planning focus-on-form group (gpfg), guided planning focus...
