چکیده

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of endotoxin presence in plasmid DNA preparations on the efficiency of transfection achieved in vivo with B16(F10) and Renca tumors and to determine transgene localization. Our data show that endotoxin markedly decreases the efficiency of transfection. Furthermore, the transgene transferred in vivo can be found in both neoplastic and normal (most likely myofibroblast) cells lying in proximity of the administration site.

Direct plasmid mediated transfection of adult murine brain cells in vivo using cationic liposomes.

Gene transfer to the central nervous system (CNS) is complicated by the anatomic and physiologic isolation of the brain. Direct injection techniques circumvent this, and allow delivery of transgenes to specific areas of the CNS. Previously, direct transfection of cellular components of the CNS has been achieved using plasmid DNA. We report the use of cationic liposomes as a means of transfectin...

their excellent safety profile, despite their low transgene expression efficiency in comparison to that of viral vectors. For their administration, cationic lipid-mediated transfer is a promising approach, because of its low toxicity, ease of preparation, and potential for active targeting. One disadvantage associated with the use of DNA–cationic lipid complexes systemically is the induction of...

Rubbing gastric serosal surface enhances naked plasmid DNA transfer in rats and mice.

We have developed in vivo gene transfer to mesothelial cells on the peritoneal organs, including the stomach. Simple instillation of naked plasmid DNA onto the gastric serosal surface in mice resulted in effective but transient transgene expression. Here, we developed a simple method to improve not only the transfection efficiency but also the duration of transgene expression. Rubbing the gastr...

P-151: Optimal Condition of IntroducingGreen Fluorescent Protein (GFP) Geneinto The Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchusmykiss) Sperm by Electroporation Method

Background: Many techniques have been developed to increase DNA molecules into sperms called sperm mediated gene transfer (SMGT) and one of them is electroporation. Sperm mediated gene transfer is an ideal method for mass gene transfer in organisms with external fertilization. Gene transfer is applied to rainbow trout sperm and the effects of electroporation on sperms and rate of gene uptake by...

A mini-intronic plasmid (MIP): a novel robust transgene expression vector in vivo and in vitro.

The bacterial backbone (BB) sequences contained within a canonical plasmid DNA dampen exogenous transgene expression by tenfold to 1,000-fold over a period of a few weeks following transfection into quiescent tissues such as the liver. Minicircle DNA vectors devoid of bacterial plasmid backbone sequences overcome transgene silencing providing persistent transgene expression. Because, we recentl...
