Multiple pathways of plasmid DNA transfer in Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
Many Helicobacter pylori (Hp) strains carry cryptic plasmids of different size and gene content, the function of which is not well understood. A subgroup of these plasmids (e.g.

DNA-based immunization induces a biased Th1 immune response, and offers a novel strategy for modulation of the Th2-associated response. Recent studies have provided evidence that antigen-induced allergic responses can be modulated in rodents immunized with plasmid DNAs encoding the sensitizing antigens. Further understanding of the regulatory mechanism

Genome-scale phylogenetic analysis finds extensive gene transfer among Fungi [PDF]
Although the role of lateral gene transfer is well recognized in the evolution of bacteria, it is generally assumed that it has had less influence among eukaryotes.

Dissemination of Antimicrobial Resistance in Microbial Ecosystems through Horizontal Gene Transfer
The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria has been a rising problem for public health in recent decades. It is becoming increasingly recognized that not only antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) encountered in clinical ...

We describe a dominant behavioral marker, rol‐6(su‐1006), and an efficient microinjection procedure which facilitate the recovery of Caenorhabditis elegans transformants. We use these tools to study the mechanism of C.elegans DNA transformation.

Comparative Effectiveness of Structural versus Regulatory Protein Gene Transfer on Articular Chondrocyte Matrix Gene Expression [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The production of extracellular matrix is a necessary component of articular cartilage repair. Gene transfer is a promising method to improve matrix biosynthesis by articular chondrocytes.

Argininosuccinic aciduria fosters neuronal nitrosative stress reversed by Asl gene transfer
Patients with mutations in the ASL gene present with argininosuccinic aciduria characterised by hyperammonaemia and cognitive impairment. Here, the authors show that cerebral disease involves neuronal nitrosative/oxidative stress that is not induced by ...

Complement blockade by eculizumab is clinically effective in hemolytic paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. However, the response is variable and some patients remain dependent on red blood cell transfusions.

Horizontal Gene Transfers in Plants [PDF]
In plants, as in all eukaryotes, the vertical transmission of genetic information through reproduction ensures the maintenance of the integrity of species. However, many reports over the past few years have clearly shown that horizontal gene transfers, referred to as HGTs (the interspecific transmission of genetic information across reproductive ...

The Routes of Emergence of Life from LUCA during the RNA and Viral World: A Conspectus
How did life emerge on Earth? The aim of the Network of Researchers on Horizontal Gene Transfer and the Last Universal Cellular Ancestor (NoR HGT & LUCA) is to understand how the genetics of LUCAs were reorganised prior to the advent of the three ...
