摘要:
A circular DNA molecule, useful for gene therapy, comprising at least one nucleic acid sequence of interest, characterized in that the region allowing the replication thereof has an origin of replication with a functionality in a host cell that requires the presence of at least one specific protein foreign to said host cell. A method for preparing same, cells incorporating said DNA molecules and uses thereof in gene therapy are also described.

A method for double-stranded DNA purification, by which a solution containing DNA in a mixture with other components is passed over a support on which is covalently coupled an oligonucleotide capable of hybridizing with a specific sequence present on the DNA to form a triple helix.

摘要:
Enzyme combinations useful for destroying cells, particularly proliferative cells, are disclosed. In particular, a combination of the following enzymes has been found to enhance the toxicity of nucleoside analogues to proliferating cells: an enzyme that phosphorylates the non-toxic nucleoside analogue to generate a monophosphate analogue, an enzyme that phosphorylates the monophosphate analogue to generate a diphosphate analogue and an enzyme that phosphorylates the diphosphate analogue to generate a toxic triphosphate analogue. Vectors enabling the intracellular expression and transfer of the enzyme combinations, as well as their therapeutic use, particularly in anti-cancer gene therapy, are also disclosed.

摘要:
The invention concerns a composition containing stabilised particles of cationic transfection agent(s)/nucleic acid complexes characterised in that it includes besides said transfection agent and nucleic acid at least a non-ionic surfactant in sufficient amount for preventing the aggregation of the particles in course of time. In a preferred embodiment, the surfactant is a polyoxyalkylene or a derivative thereof.
摘要:
An in vitro method for the prognosis of progression of an HIV-1 infection in a patient infected with an HIV-1 virus, comprising the steps of: a) measuring the level of antibodies directed against the 3S peptide of SEQ ID NO 2 in a sample collected from the said patient, b) comparing the level of anti-3S antibodies measured at step a) with a reference value of anti-3S antibody level that is indicative of the progression of the HIV-1 infection.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence characterized in that it is derived from the wild nucleic acid sequence coding for a thymidine kinase, said nucleic acid sequence having at least one mutation in the region corresponding to the ATP binding site and conveniently a second mutation in the N-terminal region and/or C-terminal region. It also relates to variants of the wild thymidine kinase and their use in genic therapy.
