CRE recombinase-inducible RNA interference mediated by lentiviral vectors.
Recently, several systems designed to trigger RNA interference by using small hairpin RNA driven by polymerase III promoters have been described. Here, we report a lentiviral-mediated small interfering RNA delivery system that can be induced by CRE recombinase. The system consists of a lentiviral vector carrying a mouse U6 promoter that is separated from a small hairpin RNA by a random DNA stuf...
متن کاملBeta thalassemia gene therapy using lentiviral vectors
Recent years, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has proved to be the successful cure for patients with thalassemia major, however this is restricted due to limited matched-related donor. Its complications include chronic graft-versus-host disease in 5-8% of patients. So, a molecular approach, such as gene therapy for direct normal beta globin gene transmission, seems quite promising ...
متن کاملTargeting lentiviral vectors to antigen-specific immunoglobulins.
Gene transfer into B cells by lentivectors can provide an alternative approach to managing B lymphocyte malignancies and autoreactive B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. These pathogenic B cell populations can be distinguished by their surface expression of monospecific immunoglobulin. Development of a novel vector system to deliver genes to these specific B cells could improve the safety and ...
متن کاملlentiviral vectors titration using real-time pcr
lentiviral vectors (lvs) are useful vehicle for genetransfer to dividing and non-dividing cells and genetic manipulations. however, the use of lentiviruses in studies requires an accurate titration technique.quantitative real-time pcr (qpcr) is a sensitive technique for the indication and quantitation of retrovirals particles. in this study, we used the qpcr for lentiviral vector titeration. th...
متن کاملTargeting lentiviral vectors to specific cell types in vivo.
We have developed an efficient method to target lentivirus-mediated gene transduction to a desired cell type. It involves incorporation of antibody and fusogenic protein as two distinct molecules into the lentiviral surface. The fusogen is constructed by modifying viral envelope proteins, so that they lack the ability to bind to their cognate receptor but still retain the ability to trigger pH-...
