Development of HIV vectors for anti-HIV gene therapy.
Current gene therapy protocols for HIV infection use transfection or murine retrovirus mediated transfer of antiviral genes into CD4+ T cells or CD34+ progenitor cells ex vivo, followed by infusion of the gene altered cells into autologous or syngeneic/allogeneic recipients. While these studies are essential for safety and feasibility testing, several limitations remain: long-term reconstitutio...
متن کاملGene Therapy Using RNAi
In the chapter, we hereby provide a brief review about RNA interference (RNAi) and elucidate its therapeutic applications. The enzymatic synthesis of double-stranded RNA in vitro will be discussed. We also describe how to design and select short interfering RNA (siRNA) sequences. In addition, we also introduce a DNA-directed RNAi (ddRNAi) system, which is designed for the generation of small ha...
متن کاملSLCO2B1 gene polymorphism and anti-retroviral therapy side effects in HIV-1 infected patients
Abstract Background and Objectives HIV virus and its subsequent disease is one of the most important challenges of the world health system. Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a breakthrough in patients’ life quality, it has complications like side effects. The side effect causes are diverse. One of the factors considered about side effects is genes polymorphism. This study investigates th...
متن کاملProspects for Foamy Viral Vector Anti-HIV Gene Therapy
Stem cell gene therapy approaches for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection have been explored in clinical trials and several anti-HIV genes delivered by retroviral vectors were shown to block HIV replication. However, gammaretroviral and lentiviral based retroviral vectors have limitations for delivery of anti-HIV genes into hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Foamy virus vectors have sever...
متن کاملSFLA Based Gene Selection Approach for Improving Cancer Classification Accuracy
In this paper, we propose a new gene selection algorithm based on Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm that is called SFLA-FS. The proposed algorithm is used for improving cancer classification accuracy. Most of the biological datasets such as cancer datasets have a large number of genes and few samples. However, most of these genes are not usable in some tasks for example in cancer classification....
