Muscle tissues attached to the proximal ends of hamstring tendon grafts are routinely discarded during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Preserving the muscle on the ACL graft was shown to improve the surgery outcomes, possibly due to the ...

Repository-based plasmid design [PDF]
There was an explosion in the amount of commercially available DNA in sequence repositories over the last decade. The number of such plasmids increased from 12,000 to over 300,000 among three of the largest repositories: iGEM, Addgene, and DNASU.

Transcription of plasmid DNA: Influence of plasmid DNA/polyethylenimine complex formation [PDF]
Polyethylenimine (PEI) is one of the most potent non-viral vectors. We have developed a lactosylated PEI (Lac-PEI) to enhance cell-specific transfection and have shown that Lac-PEI is more efficient than unsubstituted PEI for gene transfer into immortalized cystic fibrosis airway epithelial SigmaCFTE29o-cells.

The integrity of chemically treated plasmid DNA as a chemical-based choice for prion clearance
In regenerative medical products for clinical applications, a major concern is the risk of ruminant-derived materials developing transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) in the manufacturing process. Because of the risk of TSE causing prion disease,

RpoS regulates a novel type of plasmid DNA transfer in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Spontaneous plasmid transformation of Escherichia coli is independent of the DNA uptake machinery for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) entry. The one-hit kinetic pattern of plasmid transformation indicates that double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) enters E. coli cells

Remarkable stability of an instability-prone lentiviral vector plasmid in Escherichia coli Stbl3 [PDF]
Large-scale production of plasmid DNA to prepare therapeutic gene vectors or DNA-based vaccines requires a suitable bacterial host, which can stably maintain the plasmid DNA during industrial cultivation.

Regulatory T cells suppress natural killer cells during plasmid DNA vaccination in mice, blunting the CD8+ T cell immune response by the cytokine TGFbeta. [PDF]
CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress adaptive T cell-mediated immune responses to self- and foreign-antigens. Tregs may also suppress early innate immune responses to vaccine antigens and might decrease vaccine efficacy. NK and NKT cells are
