this study was conducted to optimize a highly efficient mrna transfection into dendritic cells (dc) derived from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc) patients. applying an electroporation technique, in vitro synthesized green fluorescent protein (gfp) mrna was transfected as an indicator into the dcs derived from a healthy donor. flow cytometry revealed 84.9% transfection efficiency for dc...

<abstract><p>This study addresses a cancer eradication model involving effector cells in the presence of gene therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. The main objective this is to understand optimal effect immuno-chemotherpay therapy. boundedness positiveness solutions respective feasible domains proposed are verified. Conditions for which equilibrium points system exist stable ha...

Selective interference with immune processes in the central nervous system (CNS) is a very difficult task because of the limitations associated with the delivery of immuno modulatory molecules across the blood brain barrier. Systemic administration of immune-mediators, either by conventional routes or by intramuscularly or intravenous gene therapy, is hampered by severe side effects and alters ...

Background: Human β-like globin genes regulaon during development from embyonic to adult stage results in generaon of different types of hemoglobin with different funcons. As β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease are disorders of β-globin chain, epigenec drugs such as thalidomide and sodium butyrate which can induce γ-globin gene are considered as a novel therapeuc approach. Drugs effec...

In the present work, we used a novel albumin-associated lipoplex formulation, containing the cationic lipid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (EPOPC) and cholesterol (Chol), to evaluate the antitumoral efficacy of two gene therapy strategies: immuno-gene therapy, mediated by IL-12 gene expression, and "suicide" gene therapy, mediated by HSV-tk gene expression followed by gan...

Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, immunodeficiency, and spondyloepiphy-seal dysplasia. Mutations in SWI/SNF2 related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like 1 (SMARCAL1) gene are responsible for the disease. The present report describes, for the f...
