    摘要: The invention relates to devices and methods for growing cells in vitro in an enclosed device that allows for a three-dimensional measurement over time of both their proliferative and/or invasive properties. By growing the cells in an enclosed matrix that resembles the environment that the cells confront in vivo, the cells can divide, invade, and form branched networks as they do in living tissue, e.g., in an individual. The devices of the invention include a test chamber in which cells, e.g., tumor cells, are placed and permitted to divide and/or invade. Cells can be placed within an insert within a chamber of the device. A delivery chamber that connects to the test chamber enables the delivery of agents that can be studied, e.g., for their therapeutic potential. The assay devices of the invention can be used as model systems to study cancer biology and to evaluate the efficacy of anti-cancer therapeutics.

    摘要: The present invention relates to HSV-based amplicon vectors carrying a genomic DNA fragment, and methods of constructing and using the same. Included within the present invention is a method of converting any large capacity DNA cloning vector, such as a BAC or PAC, into an HSV amplicon or hybrid HSV amplicon using site-specific, or other types of recombination, so that genomic DNA inserts within the BAC or PAC clone can be delivered by infection to a cell, and efficiently expressed. The present invention also relates to a system for the rapid creation of viral vectors carrying transgenes of interest. This aspect of the invention is accomplished through recombination between: (a) a large-capacity cloning vector carrying a viral genome, and (b) a transfer vector containing the transgene of interest. Finally, an expression-ready genomic DNA library is disclosed.
