Improved gene delivery to human saphenous vein cells and tissue using a peptide-modified adenoviral vector
The establishment of efficient gene delivery to target human tissue is a major obstacle for transition of gene therapy from the pre-clinical phases to the clinic. The poor long-term patency rates for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a major clinical problem that lacks an effective and proven pharmacological intervention. Late vein graft failure occurs due to neointima formation and acc...
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 کاملHigh-level expression by tissue/cancer-specific promoter with strict specificity using a single-adenoviral vector
Tissue-/cancer-specific promoters for use in adenovirus vectors (AdVs) are valuable for elucidating specific gene functions and for use in gene therapy. However, low activity, non-specific expression and size limitations in the vector are always problems. Here, we developed a 'double-unit' AdV containing the Cre gene under the control of an α-fetoprotein promoter near the right end of its genom...
متن کاملImmunization with Hexon Modified Adenoviral Vectors Integrated with gp83 Epitope Provides Protection against Trypanosoma cruzi Infection
BACKGROUND Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease. Chagas disease is an endemic infection that affects over 8 million people throughout Latin America and now has become a global challenge. The current pharmacological treatment of patients is unsuccessful in most cases, highly toxic, and no vaccines are available. The results of inadequate treatment could lead to heart failur...
متن کاملAdenoviral vector systems for gene therapy
Adenoviral (Ad) vectors are widely used in gene therapies, recombinant viral vaccines, and basic science studies. The vectors can deliver therapeutic genes into cells to recover the lost function of some genes, to enhance the ability of host immune systems, or to increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. Several adenoviral vector systems have been developed: first-gene...
