Derivation of integration-free iPSCs from a Klinefelter syndrome patient
PURPOSE Klinefelter syndrome (KS) (47, XXY) is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in humans. KS is characterized by gynecomastia, tall stature, small testes, low testosterone levels, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems. KS is also associated with infertility due to non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). The mechanism underlying NOA is still poorly understood, and although there i...
متن کاملDesigning E1 Deleted Adenoviral Vector by Homologous Recombination
Adenoviruses are used extensively to deliver genes into mammalian cells, particularly where there is a requirement for high-level expression of transgene products in cultured cells, or for use as recombinant viral vaccines or in gene therapy. In spite of their usefulness, the construction of adenoviral vectors (AdV) is a cumbersome and lengthy process that is not readily amenable to the generat...
متن کاملCharacterization of BEAF mutations isolated by homologous recombination in Drosophila.
The Drosophila BEAF-32A and BEAF-32B proteins bind to the scs' insulator and to hundreds of other sites on Drosophila chromosomes. These two proteins are encoded by the same gene. We used ends-in homologous recombination to generate the null BEAF(AB-KO) allele and also isolated the BEAF(A-KO) allele that eliminates production of only the BEAF-32A protein. We find that the BEAF proteins together...
متن کاملGene correction in hematopoietic progenitor cells by homologous recombination.
Homologous recombination (gene targeting) has many desirable features for gene therapy, because it can precisely correct mutant genes and restore their normal expression, and random nonhomologous integration of DNA is infrequent in cells in which homologous recombination has occurred. There are, however, no reports of attempts to use homologous recombination to correct mutant genes in normal he...
متن کاملEfficient generation of selection‐gene‐free rat knockout models by homologous recombination in ES cells
Embryonic stem cell (ES cell)-based rat knockout technology, although successfully developed in 2010, has seen very limited usage to date due to low targeting efficiency and a lack of optimized procedures. In this study, we performed gene targeting in ES cells from the Sprague-Dawley (SD) and the Fischer 344 (F344) rat strains using an optimized procedure and the self-excising neomycin (neo)-po...
