摘要:
The invention relates to gene suppression and replacement. In particular, the invention relates to enhanced expression of suppression agents for suppressing gene expression in a cell and in vivo and replacement nucleic acids that are not inhibited by the suppression agent. Regulatory elements are included in expression vectors to optimize expression of the suppression agent and/or replacement nucleic acid.

摘要:
A strategy for suppressing specifically or partially specifically an endogenous gene and introducing a replacement gene, said strategy comprising the steps of: 1. providing suppressing nucleic acids or other suppression effectors able to bind to an endogenous gene, gene transcript or gene product to be suppressed and 2. providing genomic DNA or cDNA (complete or partial) encoding a replacement gene wherein the suppressing nucleic acids are unable to bind to equivalent regions in the genomic DNA or cDNA to prevent expression of the replacement gene. The replacement nucleic acids have modifications in one or more third base (wobble) positions such that replacement nucleic acids still code for the wild type or equivalent amino acids.

The present invention relates to classical pathway complement proteins and their use in the prognosis and prevention of diseases involving cone photoreceptor degeneration. Specifically, the present invention is directed to the use of one or more classical pathway complement proteins, preferably involved in the recognition phase, in the maintenance of cone photoreceptor cell viability in a degenerating retina. The invention is also directed to a method for determining the susceptibility, risk of development and/or progression of diseases involving cone photoreceptor degeneration in a subject.

Disclosed herein are implantable medical device, and in particular, vascular stent having a biocompatible scaffold seeded with endothelial cells. The stent can provide structural support to maintain the openness of a vessel lumen following angioplasty while the biological scaffold seeded with endothelial cells can provide a new, healthy blood vessel wall.
