Lentiviral Vector Gene Transfer of Endostatin/Angiostatin for Macular Degeneration (GEM) Study

Lentiviral Vector Gene Transfer to Porcine Airways

In this study, we investigated lentiviral vector development and transduction efficiencies in well-differentiated primary cultures of pig airway epithelia (PAE) and wild-type pigs in vivo. We noted gene transfer efficiencies similar to that observed for human airway epithelia (HAE). Interestingly, feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-based vectors transduced immortalized pig cells as well as pig...

Gene transfer in humans using a conditionally replicating lentiviral vector.

We report findings from a clinical evaluation of lentiviral vectors in a phase I open-label nonrandomized clinical trial for HIV. This trial evaluated the safety of a conditionally replicating HIV-1-derived vector expressing an antisense gene against the HIV envelope. Five subjects with chronic HIV infection who had failed to respond to at least two antiviral regimens were enrolled. A single i....

Association of CFI gene polymorphism with age related macular degeneration in Northwest of Iran

Background & Aims: To investigate the association of CFI p.Gly119Arg polymorphism with Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, the association of p.Gly119Arg polymorphism in CFI gene was investigated in 65 patients suffering from AMD and150 healthy age, sex and ethnicity matched unrelated people as control group. Both of the case and cont...

Gene Regulatable Lentiviral Vector System

metrics for the detection of changed buildings in 3d old vector maps using als data (case study: isfahan city)

هدف از این تحقیق، ارزیابی و بهبود متریک های موجود جهت تایید صحت نقشه های قدیمی سه بعدی برداری با استفاده از ابر نقطه حاصل از لیزر اسکن جدید شهر اصفهان می باشد . بنابراین ابر نقطه حاصل از لیزر اسکنر با چگالی حدودا سه نقطه در هر متر مربع جهت شناسایی عوارض تغییر کرده در نقشه های قدیمی سه بعدی استفاده شده است. تمرکز ما در این تحقیق بر روی ساختمان به عنوان یکی از اصلی ترین عارضه های شهری می باشد. من...
