Replication-competent retrovirus vectors for cancer gene therapy.
Oncolytic virotherapy represents an emerging field with tremendous promise for harnessing the replicative capabilities of viruses against rapidly proliferating cancer cells. Among the different replicating virus technologies being tested, replication-competent retrovirus (RCR) vectors based on murine leukemia virus (MLV) exhibit unique characteristics. MLV exhibits intrinsic tumor selectivity d...
متن کاملA Queueing-Inventory System with Repair Center for Defective Items and One-for-One Ordering Policy
In this paper we consider a system consisting of a supplier with a single processing unit, a repair center, and a retailer with Poisson demand. We assume that the retailer applies one-for-one ordering policy with backorders for his inventory control. The retailer’s orders form a queue in the supplier processing unit. We also assume that a certain fraction of the products produced by the supplie...
متن کاملGenerating antibodies against secreted proteins using vascular smooth muscle cells transduced with replication-defective retrovirus.
The traditional method of antibody (Ab) generation requires repeated injections of antigen (Ag). We have developed an alternative method that allows an investigator to generate a polyclonal antiserum with only a cDNA in hand. We cloned a cDNA encoding the coding frame for baboon tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). Fischer rat arterial smooth muscle cells (SMC) transduced wi...
متن کاملReplication-defective viruses as vaccines and vaccine vectors.
The classical viral vaccine approaches using inactivated virus or live-attenuated virus have not been successful for some viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus or herpes simplex virus. Therefore, new types of vaccines are needed to combat these infections. Replication-defective mutant viruses are defective for one or more functions that are essential for viral genome replication or synt...
متن کاملCo-packaging of non-vector RNAs generates replication-defective retroviral vector particles: a novel approach for blocking retrovirus replication.
A Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMuLV)-derived packaging retroviral vector, pUCMoTN-PR3, was previously developed in which the packaging (psi) signal was cloned within the 5'-long terminal repeat (LTR) U3-r and U5 sequences. The MoTN-PR3 vector particles released from a transfected packaging cell line contain RNAs with r-psi-U5 sequences at the 5'-end and U3-r sequences at the 3'-end. Upon in...
