Direct gene transfer for immunotherapy and immunization.
The immune response to infectious organisms is dependent on the recognition of the products of 'foreign' genes expressed within host cells. The concept of immunization therefore arises as a natural consequence of gene transfer in mammals, and using recombinant molecular-genetic approaches to modulate immune function represents a promising avenue of investigation for the prevention and treatment...
متن کاملDirect visualization of horizontal gene transfer.
Conjugation allows bacteria to acquire genes for antibiotic resistance, novel virulence attributes, and alternative metabolic pathways. Using a fluorescent protein fusion, SeqA-YFP, we have visualized this process in real time and in single cells of Escherichia coli. We found that the F pilus mediates DNA transfer at considerable cell-to-cell distances. Integration of transferred DNA by recombi...
متن کاملSperm-mediated gene transfer: applications and implications.
Recent developments in studies of sperm-mediated gene transfer (SMGT) now provide solid ground for the notion that sperm cells can act as vectors for exogenous genetic sequences. A substantive body of evidence indicates that SMGT is potentially useable in animal transgenesis, but also suggests that the final fate of the exogenous sequences transferred by sperm is not always predictable. The ana...
متن کاملPrediction of blood cancer using leukemia gene expression data and sparsity-based gene selection methods
Background: DNA microarray is a useful technology that simultaneously assesses the expression of thousands of genes. It can be utilized for the detection of cancer types and cancer biomarkers. This study aimed to predict blood cancer using leukemia gene expression data and a robust ℓ2,p-norm sparsity-based gene selection method. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the microarray ...
متن کاملThe optimization of gene transfer to tomato and the study of expression possibility of salt-tolerance gene (SOS3)
One of the main strategies to improve plant tolerance is the expression of stress-induced genes, which play a significant role in the ionic balance of plants. SOS3 is one of the important components of SOS-regulated ionic homeostasis pathway. Therefore, the expression of this gene could be an important step towards producing salt-resistant plants. In this work, we have transformed tomato (Solan...
