Toward monitoring specific DNA lesions in the gene by using pollen systems.
نویسنده
چکیده
Specific gene systems expressed in cereal pollen could contribute uniquely to the problem of monitoring our environment for mutagens. This paper considers the development of a mutagen monitor with quantitative endpoints that reflect particular types of lesions at the DNA level, and lesions in particular components of the gene.

HIV-Derived Lentiviral Vectors: Current Progress toward Gene Therapy and DNA Vaccination
Lentiviral vectors are promising gene delivery tools capable of transducing a variety of dividing and non-dividing cells, including pluripotent stem cells which are refractory for transduction by murine retroviruses. Although there is a growing debate on the safety of lentiviral vectors for gene transfer, in particular for those derived from human immunodeficiency viruses, type one (HIV-1) and ...
متن کاملConstruction of a recombinant bacmid DNA containing influenza A virus hemagglutinin gene using a site-specific transposition mechanism
Introduction: In recent years, influenza viruses have caused moderate to severe infections all around the world while so far there is no influenza vaccine that can protect people with only one dose of injection. In this regard, producing a universal vaccine based on virus-like-particles (VLP) could be an ideal approach. Methods: In this study, the full-length ORF of influenza hemagglutini...

Back in 1957, when investigators produced a triple-stranded form of DNA while studying synthetic nucleic acids, few researchers paid much attention to the discovery. However, triplex DNA was never entirely forgotton and especially since 1987 its structural and functional importance in biological systems as well as its medical applications and therapeutic potentional have been extensively studie...
متن کاملPhylogenetical analysis of partially sequenced cytb gene of Haemoproteus columbae in pigeons and its pathological lesions in Egypt
Background: Haemoproteus columbae is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, causing pseudomalaria in pigeons. Aims: The current study aimed to characterize the phylogenetic position of H. columbae in pigeons in Sharkia province, Egypt, based on partial sequencing of the cytb gene as the conserved regions. The “DNA barcode” of the cytb gene helps in designing primers that can be...
