چکیده
In the forthcoming era of cancer gene therapy, efforts will be devoted to the development of new efficient and non-toxic gene delivery vectors. In this regard, the use of Fmoc/Boc-protected oligo(ethane amino) acids as building blocks for solid-phase-supported assembly represents a novel promising approach towards fully controlled syntheses of effective gene vectors. Here we report on the synthesis of defined polymers containing the following: (i) a plasmid DNA (pDNA) binding domain of eight succinoyltetraethylenpentamine (Stp) units and two terminal cysteine residues; (ii) a central polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain (with twenty-four oxyethylene units) for shielding; and (iii) specific peptides for targeting towards cancer cells. Peptides B6 and c(RGDfK), which bind transferrin receptor and αvβ3 integrin, respectively, were chosen because of the high expression of these receptors in many tumoral cells. This study shows the feasibility of designing these kinds of fully controlled vectors and their success for targeted pDNA-based gene transfer.

A new measurement of the baryonic fraction using the sparse NGC 3258 group of galaxies
New X-ray observations of the sparse NGC 3258 group of galaxies made by the ASCA satellite with good spectral and spatial resolution has revealed that this group has a gravitational potential deep enough to prohibit significant mass removal from the system. The baryonic fraction within 240h 50 kpc is found to be 0.065 −0.020 for h50 = 1, where h50 ≡ H0/50 km s Mpc, in good agreement with the un...

متن کاملStructure oriented compact model for advanced trench IGBTs without fitting parameters for extreme condition: Part I
Compact model for expressing turn-off waveform for advanced trench gate IGBTs is proposed even under high current density condition. The model is analytically formulated only with device structure parameters so that no fitting parameters are required. The validity of the model is confirmed with TCAD simulation for 1.2 kV to 6.5 kV class IGBTs. The proposed turn-off model is sufficiently accurat...
