摘要:
The present invention provides genetically-engineered parvovirus capsids and viruses designed to introduce a heterologous gene into a target cell. The parvoviruses of the invention provide a repertoire of vectors with altered antigenic properties, packaging capabilities, and/or cellular tropisms as compared with current AAV vectors.

摘要:
Methods for efficient production of recombinant AAV employ a host cell containing a first nucleic acid molecule comprising from 5′ to 3′, a parvovirus P5 promoter, a spacer, an AAV rep sequence and an AAV cap gene sequence, wherein said spacer is of sufficient size to reduce expression of the rep78 and rep68 gene products; a second nucleic acid molecule comprising a minigene comprising a transgene flanked by AAV inverse terminal repeats (ITRs) and under the control of regulatory sequences directing expression thereof in a host cell; and helper functions essential to the replication and packaging of rAAV, which functions are not provided by the first or second nucleic acid molecules. Host cells and molecule constructs are also described.
摘要:
A method for the production of a replication-deficient recombinant virus vector is disclosed. The replication-deficient recombinant virus vector has a recombinant virus genome with one or more defective viral genes. The method comprises infecting a host cell with a carrier virus having a carrier virus genome encoding one or more trans factors or variants thereof, incubating the infected host cell for a desired period of time, and isolating the replication-deficient recombinant virus vector. The carrier virus is a cytoplasmic virus that retains the carrier virus genome in the cytoplasm of the host cell. The host cell contains the recombinant viral genome and retains the recombinant viral genome in a nucleus of the host cell. Also disclosed is a carrier virus for the production of a replication-deficient recombinant virus vector.

The invention provides a charging device that uses switched capacitor voltage converters to charge a battery using solar power. The charger uses boosting topology to efficiently use solar module photovoltaic power. The boosting topology enables a lower voltage to be used resulting in reduced cutting and soldering of photovoltaic cells. The battery charger has overcharge protection and uses inductor-less circuitry.
