Objective(s): Filamentous bacteriophage M13 was genetically engineered to specifically target mammalian cells for gene delivery purpose. Materials and Methods: A vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2)-specific nanobody was genetically fused to the capsid gene III of M13 bacteriophage (pHEN4/3VGR19). A mammalian expression construct containing Cop-green fluorescent protein (Cop-G...

Gene transfer to plants and the production of transgenic plants with various purposes, such as improving the performance and quality, resistance to pests, diseases, etc., and of great importance are carried out Gene transfer to plants performs to evaluate the transient and permanent gene expression. Transient expression is quick, easy and simple and is not influenced by position effect compare ...

There are many immune mediated disorders with the corroborated role of vitamin D or Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms in their pathogenesis, immunologic regulation, and disease characteristics. Therefore, in this review, we searched PubMed data base in regard to the role of VDR gene polymorphisms in common autoimmune disorders, emphasizing on dermatologic diseases.

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...

Despite encouraging preclinical studies in many tumor types including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), initial clinical trials with adenovirus-mediated gene therapy have been disappointing. Although the adenovirus is a "highly efficient vector," it is still limited by the extent of effective in vivo transduction. In our studies with multiple human HNSCC cell lines, we have noted a...
