摘要:
The present invention relates to peptides that specifically bind to endothelial cells. The peptides can be incorporated into gene delivery vector particles and can also direct therapeutic agents, including proteins such as growth factors and cytokines as well as small molecules. The vector particles, peptides, or small molecules can be used for the treatment of cancer and cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease, peripheral limb disease, vein graft stenosis and restenosis.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to an adenovirus mediated transfer of genes to the gastrointestinal tract. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of recombinant, replication-deficient adenovirus mediated transfer of therapeutic genes to the gastrointestinal tract whereby therapeutic proteins for systemic and/or local purposes are produced.
摘要:
L'invention concerne un acide nucléique recombinant utilisable pour la production d'un adénovirus défectif contenant un insérat codant pour une cytokine sous le contrôle d'un promoteur au sein de la séquence génomique de l'adénovirus recombinant. Cet adénovirus recombinant est utilisable pour la préparation de médicaments anti-tumoraux sous forme directement injectable dans la tumeur de l'hôte.
摘要:
Recombinant CELO virus or CELO virus DNA with a deletion or disruption of the Gam1 gene, optionally combined with deletions at the right or left end of the viral genome that allow insertion of large pieces of foreign DNA. The virus is useful as a vaccine for animals, in particular birds, and for gene therapy and vaccine applications in humans. The virus can also be used for recombinant protein production.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a DNA sequence comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding Hemorrhagic Enteritis virus. It is well known to the man of the art that determining the complete sequence of a virus enables the isolation and identification of the different genes contained therein, and their utilisation for different purposes such as for vaccination purposes, as potential vectors for gene delivery to be used in recombinant vaccination or for gene therapy. In addition, the sequence may be employed for diagnostic purposes wherein the disclosed sequence of any part thereof be used for the development of specific primers for Polymerase Chain Reaction processes (PCR) or as probes. The invention thus also concerns with HEV proteins encoded by the sequence of the invention or functional fragments thereof and to some of the uses of said sequences and proteins.
摘要:
Non-tumorigenic, stable, human bronchial and liver epithelial cell lines are provided wherein the cell lines are capable of expressing human cytochrome P450 genes which have been inserted into the cell lines. Also provided are methods and kits for identifying potential mutagens, cytotoxins, carcinogens, chemotherapeutic and chemo-preventive agents utilizing these cell lines.
摘要:
Recombinant adenoviruses comprising a heterologous DNA sequence, preparation thereof, and use thereof for the treatment and/or prevention of cancer.
摘要:
Konjugate, in denen ein Virus über einen Antikörper an eine Nukleinsäure-affine Substanz gebunden ist, für den Transport von Genkonstrukten in höhere eurkaryotische Zellen. Komplexe aus den Konjugaten und Nukleinsäure werden, gegebenenfalls unter Mitwirkung eines zelltypspezifischen Internalisierungsfaktors, in die Zelle internalisiert, wobei das Virus als Bestandteil des Komplexes die Internalisierung sowie die Freisetzung des Inhalts der Endosomen, in denen die Komplexe nach Eintritt in die Zelle lokalisiert sind, bewirkt. Pharmazeutische Zubereitungen, in denen die Nukleinsäure ein therapeutisch wirksames Genkonstrukt ist, insbesondere zur Verwendung für die Gentherapie, und Transfektionskits.
摘要:
On a mis au point des hépatocytes obtenus par génie génétique ou par transfert génétique, exprimant une matière génétique d'intérêt introduite ou incorporée dans lesdits hépatocytes, ainsi que des procédés de production, de transplantation et d'utilisation des hépatocytes obtenus par génie génétique. On peut incorporer la matière génétique d'intérêt en utilisant un vecteur tel qu'un rétrovirus recombinant contenant la matière génétique d'intérêt, ou par d'autres moyens.
摘要:
Vaccines for the production of antibodies to infectious organisms are described. Live recombinant adenovirus containing a foreign gene coding for an antigen produced by another infectious organism is delivered to the intestine of a warm-blooded animal in an enteric-coated dosage farm, whereupon the virus infects the gut wall and induces the production of antibodies or cell mediated immunity to both adenovirus and the other infectious organism
