Retroviral mediated gene transfer into bone marrow progenitor cells: use of beta-galactosidase as a selectable marker.
Recombinant retroviruses have been utilized as vectors for gene transfer in model systems of gene therapy. Since many of these model systems require the transplantation of genetically modified primary cells it is important to devise methods which will allow the rapid and efficient selection for transplantation of only the cells which are capable of expressing high levels of the transferred gene...
متن کاملUtility of the pat gene as a selectable marker gene in production of transgenic Dunaliella salina
Background: The objective of this study was to develop an efficient selectable marker for transgenic Dunaliella salina. Results: Tests of the sensitivity of D. salina to the antibiotic chloramphenicol and the herbicide Basta® showed that cells (1.0 × 10 cells/ml) treated with 1000 or 1500 μg/ml chloramphenicol died in 8 or 6 days, respectively, whereas D. salina cells (1.0 × 10 cells/ml) treate...
متن کاملThe reduced folate carrier gene is a novel selectable marker for recombinant protein overexpression.
Folate cofactors are one-carbon donors essential for the biosynthesis of purines and thymidylate. Mammalian cells are devoid of folate biosynthesis and are therefore folate auxotrophs that take up folate vitamins primarily via the reduced folate carrier (RFC). In this study, we showed that the human RFC (hRFC) gene can serve as a novel selectable marker for the overproduction of recombinant pro...
متن کاملNourseothricin acetyltransferease: a positive selectable marker for Toxoplasma gondii.
Molecular analysis of parasite genomes will require new molecular genetic tools. The nat1 gene of Streptomyces noursei encodes nourseothricin acetyltransferase, conferring resistance to the aminoglycoside antibiotic nourseothricin. Electroporation of nat1 cassettes into RH or Prugniaud strains of Toxoplasma gondii allows for selection of stable nourseothricin-resistant clones.
متن کاملDevelopment of a negative selectable marker for Entamoeba histolytica.
Entamoeba histolytica is the causative agent of amebiasis and infects up to 10% of the world's population. The molecular techniques that have enabled the up- and down-regulation of gene expression rely on the transfection of stably maintained plasmids. While these have increased our understanding of Entamoeba virulence factors, the capacity to integrate exogenous DNA into genome, which would al...
