摘要:
A bioreactor for cultivating tissue cells comprises a vessel containing a gas phase and a liquid phase therein, at least a substrate on which the tissue cells are attached, and a movable shaft to which the substrate is fixed. The movable shaft carries the substrate into and out of the gas and liquid phases so as to apply shear stress to the tissue cells.
摘要:
A baculovirus expression vector achieves dual functions of (1) subunit vaccine by displaying the influenza surface protein for humoral immune responses; and (2) DNA vaccine by expressing influenza surface protein for long-acting cellular immune response. A method for inducing immunogenicity in a host is also disclosed.
摘要:
A method for determining transduction efficiency of baculovirus includes: providing a recombinant baculovirus, in which the recombinant baculovirus includes an inducible promoter and a reporter gene positioned downstream the inducible promoter; adding the recombinant baculovirus to incubating environment of a mammalian cell for transduction; adding an inducer to promote expression of the reporter gene in the mammalian cell; and analyzing the percentage of the mammalian cell expressing the reporter gene to determine the transduction efficiency of the recombinant baculovirus. The method provides the ability to quantitatively analyze baculovirus transduction and is a simple and faster quantitative method applicable in transduction and other research study by including an inducible promoter and a reporter gene and thus prevents from imposing excessive metabolic burden to the cells. A method for determining virus dosage of baculovirus applied in genetic therapy is also disclosed.
摘要:
A method for sustained expression of an exogenous gene forms a circular episomal plasmid to solve the problem of transient expression of baculovirus in the transduced mammalian cells caused by the dilution and degradation when mammalian cells replicate and also prevents dysfunctional cell metabolism.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for purifying baculovirus comprising: providing a baculovirus mixture containing a baculovirus and a liquid portion; replacing the liquid portion with a binding buffer by an ultrafiltration system to form a virus buffer; and purifying the baculovirus from the virus buffer using glycoprotein specific affinity chromatography. Therefore, use of the method of the present invention in the purification of baculovirus resulted in an enhanced discovery yield and improved purity of virus.
摘要:
The current invention relates to vaccines that use baculovirus vectors to expose a host organism to an immunogen, thereby eliciting an immune response. A pseudo-typed baculovirus is used to display hemagglutinin on the cell membrane in order to increase host immunogenicity.
