Biosafety Evaluation of a Chimeric Adenoviral Vector in Mini-Pigs: Insights into Immune Tolerance and Gene Therapy Potential

open access: yesBiomedicines
Background: The biosafety of gene therapy products remains a major challenge to their introduction into the clinic. In particular, the problem of immunogenicity of viral vectors is the focus of attention.

Colony polymerase chain reaction of stably transfected Trypanosoma cruzi grown on solid medium [PDF]

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
Tools for the genetic manipulation of Trypanosoma cruzi are largely unavailable, although several vectors for transfection of epimastigotes and expression of foreign or recombinant genes have been developed. We have previously constructed several plasmid

A simple new approach to variable selection in regression, with application to genetic fine-mapping

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
We introduce a simple new approach to variable selection in linear regression, and to quantifying uncertainty in selected variables. The approach is based on a new model – the “Sum of Single Effects” (SuSiE) model – which comes from writing the sparse ...

Beyond Gene Delivery: Strategies to Engineer the Surfaces of Viral Vectors

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2013
Viral vectors have been extensively studied due to their great transduction efficiency compared to non-viral vectors. These vectors have been used extensively in gene therapy, enabling the comprehension of, not only the advantages of these vectors, but ...

Orientation of the genetic variance-covariance matrix and the fitness surface for multiple male sexually selected traits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Stabilizing selection has been predicted to change genetic variances and covariances so that the orientation of the genetic variance-covariance matrix (G) becomes aligned with the orientation of the fitness surface, but it is less clear how directional ...

Use of herpes virus amplicon vectors to study brain disorders

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2005
There is an enormous initiative to establish the genetic basis for disorders of brain function. Unfortunately, genetic intervention is not accomplished easily in the nervous system.

Pleiotropy of FRIGIDA enhances the potential for multivariate adaptation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
An evolutionary response to selection requires genetic variation; however, even if it exists, then the genetic details of the variation can constrain adaptation.

Genetic modification of baculovirus expression vectors

open access: yesVirologica Sinica, 2012
As a protein expression vector, the baculovirus demonstrates many advantages over other vectors. With the development of biotechnology, baculoviral vectors have been genetically modified to facilitate high level expression of heterologous proteins in both insect and mammalian cells.

Genetic characterization of the human relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia miyamotoi in vectors and animal reservoirs of Lyme disease spirochetes in France

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2014
BackgroundIn France as elsewhere in Europe the most prevalent TBD in humans is Lyme borreliosis, caused by different bacterial species belonging to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex and transmitted by the most important tick species in France ...

Delivering genes with human immunodeficiency virus-derived vehicles: still state-of-the-art after 25 years

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2022
Viruses are naturally endowed with the capacity to transfer genetic material between cells. Following early skepticism, engineered viruses have been used to transfer genetic information into thousands of patients, and genetic therapies are currently ...
