Gene Therapy: The Potential Applicability of Gene Transfer Technology to the Human Germline
The theoretical possibility of applying gene transfer methodologies to the human germline is explored. Transgenic methods for genetically manipulating embryos may in principle be applied to humans. In particular, microinjection of retroviral vector appears to hold the greatest promise, with transgenic primates already obtained from this approach. Sperm-mediated gene transfer offers potentially ...
متن کاملDisplaced agendas: current regulatory strategies for germline gene therapy.
Recent developments in biotechnology are radically affecting the nature of reproduction and the manner in which we approach disease. In particular, germline gene therapy, or the insertion of genetic material into cells while they are developing and dividing, offers the promise of eradicating genetic defects in humans during embryonic development. In this article, the authors argue that the soci...
متن کاملHuman Germline Antibody Gene Segments Encode Polyspecific Antibodies
Structural flexibility in germline gene-encoded antibodies allows promiscuous binding to diverse antigens. The binding affinity and specificity for a particular epitope typically increase as antibody genes acquire somatic mutations in antigen-stimulated B cells. In this work, we investigated whether germline gene-encoded antibodies are optimal for polyspecificity by determining the basis for re...
متن کاملCancer germline gene activation
The human male germ line is passed on via the production of haploid sperm, which, upon fusion with the female gamete, the ovum, will form a diploid zygote that will ultimately become a genetically unique individual. Male gametogenesis occurs throughout the lifespan of adult males. Sperm production is restricted to the seminiferous tubules of the testis, and this process is continually fed by th...
