摘要:
The present application relates, in some aspects, to the development of a plasmid that can be used to efficiently monitor the stabilities of thousands of proteins after specific perturbations. The plasmid allows for the co-expression of two reporter proteins, each of which is placed under the control of an IRES. Other aspects of the invention relate to a plasmid library, screening methods to identify proteins whose levels are modulated by a compound of interest, and methods for monitoring treatment of a subject with an IMiD compound.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a recombination vector, a transformation cell into which the recombinant vector is introduced, a ribozyme expressed from the recombination vector, a prophylactic or therapeutic composition for liver cancer comprising the recombination vector and the ribozyme, and a therapeutic method for liver cancer using the composition, said recombination vector comprising: a tissue-specific promoter; and a ribozyme-target gene expression cassette comprising a trans-splicing ribozyme targeting a cancer-specific gene and a target gene connected to the 3' exon of the ribozyme, wherein a splicing donor/splicing acceptor sequence (SD/SA sequence) is connected to the 5' end of the ribozyme-target gene expression cassette, woodchuck hepatitis virus posttranscriptional regulatory element (WPRE) is connected to the 3' end of the ribozyme-target gene expression cassette, and a nucleic acid sequence recognizing a micro RNA-122a (microRNA-122a, miR-122a) is further connected to the 3' end of the WPRE.

摘要:
Viral infection is a persistent cause of human disease. Guided nuclease systems target the genomes of viral infections, rendering the viruses incapacitated.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a recombinant adenovirus with increased in-vivo safety, tissue specificity, and anticancer activities, and a use thereof. Specifically, the recombinant adenovirus comprising: a promoter of the liver tissue-specific phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene; a trans-splicing ribozyme which is operably linked to the promoter and acts on a cancer-specific gene; a therapeutic gene or a reporter gene which is linked to the 3' exon of the ribozyme; and a serotype 35 fiber knob and a serotype 5 shaft, in which the orf4 gene is deleted from adenovirus E1, E3 and E4 orf1, shows remarkable in-vivo safety, high specificity for a target tissue, and remarkable anticancer effects, and thus can be useful for an anticancer drug or a cancer diagnostic agent as a gene delivery vector.
摘要:
Lentiviral vectors, plates, kits and methods are provided that permit improved efficiency for selection of a promoter sequence for use in a lentiviral application. Through various embodiments of the present invention, a researcher may first evaluate and then choose in a modular fashion, a vector comprising a promoter that is effective for expression in a particular cell line or type.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for co-silencing expression of genes in a filamentous fungal strain by transitive RNA interference. The present invention also relates to methods for identifying a gene encoding a biological substance of interest.
摘要:
According to the present invention, an AAV vector having a higher titer compared with those of conventional ones can be produced using a cell into which a nucleic acid capable of expressing miRNA is introduced artificially. An AAV vector produced using the cell and a composition containing the viral vector as an active ingredient are very useful as gene transfer means in the studies or clinical practice of gene therapies.
