Tumour modelling using viral vectors
Human tumours typically harbour multiple mutations in tumour suppressor genes and oncogenes. Histologically identical tumours in different patients often exhibit different combinations of genetic alterations and it is now also evident that considerable genetic heterogeneity can exist between cells within individual tumours. A major ongoing research challenge remains to determine the functional ...
متن کاملGenetic Modification of Cancer Cells Using Non-Viral, Episomal S/MAR Vectors for In Vivo Tumour Modelling
The development of genetically marked animal tumour xenografts is an area of ongoing research to enable easier and more reliable testing of cancer therapies. Genetically marked tumour models have a number of advantages over conventional tumour models, including the easy longitudinal monitoring of therapies and the reduced number of animals needed for trials. Several different methods have been ...
متن کاملP164: Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-link disease. The incidence of this muscle-wasting disease is 1:5000 male live births. Mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin is the main cause of BMD. Most cases of this disease succumb to respiratory and cardiac failure in 3rd to 4th decades. The slow progression of BMD and recent achievement of gene therapies make it as an appropriate c...
متن کاملEngineering influenza viral vectors
The influenza virus is a respiratory pathogen with a negative-sense, segmented RNA genome. Construction of recombinant influenza viruses in the laboratory was reported starting in the 1980s. Within a short period of time, pioneer researchers had devised methods that made it possible to construct influenza viral vectors from cDNA plasmid systems. Herein, we discuss the evolution of influenza vir...
متن کاملGene therapy using viral vectors for acute neurologic insults.
Enormous knowledge has emerged concerning the cellular and molecular events underlying necrotic neuron death after seizure, hypoxia-ischemia, or hypoglycemia. This has allowed the design of rational therapies to protect neurons at such times. One of the most exciting arenas of such interventions is the use of viral vectors to deliver neuroprotective genes. This review considers the progress in ...
