Bacterial genotoxicity bioreporters
Ever since the introduction of the Salmonella typhimurium mammalian microsome mutagenicity assay (the 'Ames test') over three decades ago, there has been a constant development of additional genotoxicity assays based upon the use of genetically engineered microorganisms. Such assays rely either on reversion principles similar to those of the Ames test, or on promoter-reporter fusions that gener...
متن کاملBioreporters in microbial ecology.
Bioreporters are effective research tools for gaining an understanding of a microbe's perception of the world. Fitted with a fusion of an environmentally responsive promoter to a suitable reporter gene, a bacterial or fungal bioreporter is able to communicate its metabolic or transcriptional behavior in a habitat, and furnish us with information on the chemical, physical or biological propertie...
متن کاملScreening of potentially hormonally active chemicals using bioluminescent yeast bioreporters.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae bioluminescent bioreporter assays were developed previously to assess a chemical's estrogenic or androgenic disrupting potential. S. cerevisiae BLYES, S. cerevisiae BLYAS, S. cerevisiae BLYR, were used to assess their reproducibility and utility in screening 68, 69, and 71 chemicals for estrogenic, androgenic, and toxic effects, respectively. EC(50) values were 6.3 +/- ...
متن کاملOpportunities for applying whole‐cell bioreporters towards parasite detection
In nature, living cells and organisms have evolved, over billions of years, an astonishing suite of mechanisms that are used to detect and respond to diverse, transient and long-term external stimuli (Khalil and Collins, 2010). Whole-cell bioreporters (WCBs; sometimes referred to colloquially as whole-cell biosensors) are characterized as cells (termed chassis) that have been deliberately modif...
متن کاملRetroviral Genotoxicity
Gene therapies have enormous potential to cure human disease. In recent years, hematopoiet‐ ic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy has advanced tremendously, due in part to years of intense re‐ search to develop effective vectors and efficient ex vivo transduction protocols. In early clinical trials, inefficient gene transfer resulted in either a lack of therapeutic benefit or shortlived therapeutic b...
