In vivo analysis of glucocorticoid-induced reporter gene expression using gene gun DNA delivery.
Glucocorticoid regulates various physiological processes via the activation and repression of gene expression. The anti-inflammatory effects and the adverse effects are believed to be dependent on the repression and the activation of genes, respectively. Reporter gene assay is a useful technique to separately evaluate these two functions and has been used for in vitro screening of novel ligands...
متن کاملReporter gene expression in dendritic cells after gene gun administration of plasmid DNA.
Dendritic cells (DC) play an integral role in plasmid DNA vaccination. However, the interaction between plasmid DNA and DC in vivo is incompletely understood. In this report, we utilise the sheep pseudoafferent cannulation model to examine the interaction between plasmid DNA encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein (pEGFP) and afferent lymph DC (ALDC) following gene gun administration. The r...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Thermus Aquaticus DNA Polymerase Gene, Using a Thermo-Inducible Expression Vector
DNA polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus strain YT1 was amplified using VENTTM DNA po-lymerase and cloned under the control of X.PR promoter and expression was induced by a shift in tern perature. The culture was then sonicated, and after centrifugation the lysate was treated with polyethyleneimine followed by a salting-out step. Finally the protein was precipitated with ammonium sulfate and...
متن کاملIn vivo Monitoring of microRNA Biogenesis Using Reporter Gene Imaging
MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNAs regulating gene expression, through base paring with their target mRNAs, which have been actively investigated as key regulators in a wide range of biological processes. Conventional methods such as Northern blot are generally time-consuming, non-repeatable, and cannot be applied in vivo due to the requirement for cell fixation. Therefore, a noninvasive imagin...
متن کاملReporter gene expression for monitoring gene transfer.
The use of reporters such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) and firefly luciferase permit highly sensitive and nondestructive monitoring of gene transfer and expression. Modifications in GFP which increase intensity and thermostability, as well as alter its spectral qualities, have facilitated the use of GFP in a variety of gene transfer methods. Improvements in imaging technologies and their ...
