Viral Vectors in Gene Therapy [PDF]
Applications of viral vectors have found an encouraging new beginning in gene therapy in recent years. Significant improvements in vector engineering, delivery, and safety have placed viral vector-based therapy at the forefront of modern medicine. Viral vectors have been employed for the treatment of various diseases such as metabolic, cardiovascular ...

Resisting viral infection: the gene by gene approach [PDF]
This review focuses on genes required for resistance to mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV), as identified through unbiased genetic screening. Components of the developmental, sensing, and effector pathways, functioning in multiple cell types, were detected by infecting 22,000 G3 mutant mice with MCMV at an inoculum easily contained by WT animals.

Viral Hybrid Vectors for Somatic Integration - Are They the Better Solution? [PDF]
The turbulent history of clinical trials in viral gene therapy has taught us important lessons about vector design and safety issues. Much effort was spent on analyzing genotoxicity after somatic integration of therapeutic DNA into the host genome. Based

Gene transfer by viral vectors for gene therapy [PDF]
The search for useful virus vectors and for improvements in currently available retrovectors which may have the capability of transportation by natural transport systems in the human body will open effective ways for targeting human genes to specific cells in tissues in situ.

In contrast to human cells, very few HSV-1 genes are known to be spliced, although the same pre-mRNA processing machinery is shared. Here, through global analysis of splice junctions in cells infected with HSV-1 and an HSV-1 mutant virus with deletion of

The Role of VP16 in the Life Cycle of Alphaherpesviruses
The protein encoded by the UL48 gene of alphaherpesviruses is named VP16 or alpha-gene-transactivating factor (α-TIF). In the early stage of viral replication, VP16 is an important transactivator that can activate the transcription of viral immediate ...

Complete genome viral phylogenies suggests the concerted evolution of regulatory cores and accessory satellites. [PDF]
We consider the concerted evolution of viral genomes in four families of DNA viruses. Given the high rate of horizontal gene transfer among viruses and their hosts, it is an open question as to how representative particular genes are of the evolutionary ...

Gene Targeting with Viral Vectors
Genetic manipulation of cells for scientific and therapeutic goals can be achieved by both gene-addition and gene-targeting methods. Gene targeting precisely alters a gene in its natural chromosome location, providing distinct advantages over gene-addition approaches.
