Genetically Engineered Bacteria for Genotoxicity Assessment
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 generat...
متن کاملImmunomodulation by genetically engineered lactic acid bacteria.
The taxonomically diverse lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are unified by their capability to produce lactic acid from carbohydrates by fermentation. The LAB Lactococcus (L.) lactis has been characterized into great detail and is increasingly used as a production host for heterologous proteins. L. lactis is a non-pathogenic and non-colonizing LAB species and can be efficiently engineered to produce p...
متن کاملAnalysis of removal of cadmium by action of immobilized Chlorella sp. micro-algae in alginate beads
Cadmium (Cd) is a metal that can negatively interfere with the metabolic systems of living beings. The objective of this work was to evaluate the capacity for cadmium removal in aqueous solutions by immobilized Chlorella sp. in calcium alginate beads. Beads without Chlorella sp. were used as a control. All the treatments were established in triplicate for 80 min, at four concentrations of cadmi...
متن کاملGenetically engineered superantigens as tolerable antitumor agents.
Superantigens (SAg) are a family of bacterial and viral proteins with strong immunostimulatory properties. SAg bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules activate a high frequency of T cells and represent the most potent known activators of T cells to date. To explore the use of SAg for T cell-based tumor therapy we have created a tumor-reactive SAg by engineering a fusi...
متن کاملGenetically Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stably Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein
Objective(s) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are ideal targets in cell transplantation and tissue engineering. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) has been an important reporter gene for gene therapy. The aim of this stu...
